<div dir="ltr">Hi London Rubyists!<div><br></div><div><div>We are bootstrapping an EdTech/instructional publishing product called ShowHows (<a href="http://showho.ws">http://showho.ws</a>) and we're looking for a Lead Developer to take it forward on an ongoing mix of full-time and part-time contract. The immediate need we have (within the next month or so) is to move it on from a fairly simple MVP into something that's production-ready to trial for our first proper customer (a large global consumer manufacturer).</div><div><br></div><div><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">ShowHows is a web platform for creating and publishing beautiful visual instructions, how-tos and tutorials for just about anything. DIY and maker projects, recipes, assembly instructions, user guides, school projects - anything that works step by step.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">As Lead Developer (we don't have a full-time CTO at the moment), you'll be heavily involved in product decisions and feature discussions with our remote team (including a product manager and lead designer). The mission for the next few months is to make our front-end UI the best it can possibly be and therefore the perfect developer for us would be full-stack but probably more front-end/JavaScript leaning (i.e. you really enjoy front-end UI engineering). Someone who has lots of experience with (and is more than comfortable with) the following:</p><ul style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem 1.1rem;padding:0px;line-height:1.6;list-style-position:outside;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif"><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">Ruby on Rails</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">JavaScript frameworks: jQuery, React, Ember, Angular (there's an opportunity to pick one to go forward with)</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">HTML5/CSS3</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">PostgreSQL</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">Test-driven development</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">Git</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px">AWS-based infrastructure</li></ul><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">Ideally you'll have worked in a startup environment before and have experience of remote teams (we have a co-working space near Spitalfields if you're in/near London but we really don't mind where you work from!). Most of all though, we're looking for someone who's fun, open-minded and ready to make a difference. We're funded entirely through customer revenue (no investment right now) and we also have an eye towards open-sourcing what we're doing for the education/not for profit markets. </p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">We're looking for someone who is as excited about the product and its possibilities as we are - get in touch if you'd like to chat/know more.<br></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">Thanks,</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6">David - Founder @ ShowHows</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;font-family:azo-sans-web,"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.6"><br></p></div><div class="gmail_signature"><font><div style="font-weight:bold"><font><font><b><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(124,124,124);font-weight:normal"><b><div style="display:inline"><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#7C7C7C"><b><span style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:normal"><div style="display:inline"><div style="display:inline"><font color="#330000" face="verdana, sans-serif" style="color:rgb(42,93,176)"></font></div></div></span></b></font></font></div></b></span></font></b></font></font></div></font></div>
