Summary

My client is looking for a Ruby/Rails Develper Manager to join their team full-time. Your team will include several developers, some already doing this work and some you will hire. You should be senior enough to be able to lead them technically and code review their work. You will also have a dedicated QA resource to work with your team.

Client Details

Description

What you'll do:

• Handle escalations from our merchants and retailers. This involves detective work to figure out what is wrong and write code or scripts to correct the problem. You will use your expertise to synthesize what you learned and write code to prevent it in the future by fixing or simplifying the product.
• Manage the building of our release branches and run automated tests. We have a very well defined release process that limits who can build and update production code branches. Your group will do this on our weekly cadence.
• Support a 50 person development group. This includes internal tool support as needed. This group will also be responsible for the periodic updates to Ruby and Rails but with full QA support for regression testing. In the past we have used a contracting firm to do these upgrades so you would manage this effort.
