<font face="arial" size="2"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; word-wrap: break-word;">We are a small company working on specialist Rails apps for UK hospitals and seek a mid-level Ruby developer to help us expand. The work is essentially 100% remote with occasional meetings in London. We posted this job advert previously looking for a contractor but now we realise it makes more sense to hire a permanent staff member. The annual salary would be £50-60K per year. We pay rather generous bonuses and there is the possibility of receiving an equity share in the company.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Given the small size of our company and team, and the very niche nature of our application, this posting won’t appeal to everyone. But it is a very worthwhile application (to say the least), with an enthusiastic and good-natured team, and we feel there is in fact a very bright future for the company financially. The right person will be compensated properly over time and also experience significant job satisfaction. Certainly within the healthcare space this is a unique opportunity.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; word-wrap: break-word;"><br />Our app has been in continuous development for over twenty years; it started as a Filemaker database and was ported to MySQL/PHP and now is an extremely powerful Rails app using a variety of modern frameworks and tools. You would be a full member of the team and gain unique and valuable experience in the NHS and related health care industries.</p>
