<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I've recently spent some time working for Grouper (<a href="http://joingrouper.com">joingrouper.com</a>) - a 3-on-3 dating/social-club based in New York, and we're looking for remote contractors to help get our technology in order. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We've got a pretty vanilla stack - running Ruby 1.9, Rails 3.2 on Heroku. We're using postgres, redis and a little bit of mongo & memcache for data persistence.</div><div><br></div><div>Our website should be pretty straightforward, but explosive growth over the last 18 months combined with an under-resourced tech stack has lead to too many corners being cut.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>We're looking for experienced developers (3+ years with Rails) who can spend at least a couple of months working remotely (plus the occasional expenses-paid trip to New York, if you're interested), or out of our office in London. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The work will involve refactoring unwieldy, tightly-coupled ActiveRecord models into beautiful Service Objects and Presenters. If you enjoyed <a href="http://blog.codeclimate.com/blog/2012/10/17/7-ways-to-decompose-fat-activerecord-models/">this Code Climate article</a>, you'll love the work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There will also be some work simplifying and speeding up our spec coverage (rspec + selenium) that will go hand-in-hand with this refactor.</div><div><br></div><div>We're happy to pay competitive day-rates (£500+ per day) depending on experience.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div><div><a href="http://tomblomfield.com">http://tomblomfield.com</a></div></div>
