Lead Developer

AdaptiveLab is a creative technology company that designs innovative products and services for clients as well as crafting it's own and we're hoping you'd like to join us to help us grow.

We're looking for a senior level developer with experience in crafting high-performance, intuitive web applications, to lead our technology team. You should have a minimum 3 years experience working with RoR and experience leading and inspiring talented teams of developers in an agile environment.

You will be expected to have a strong interest and play a key role in driving the direction the business develops in.
