Remote Ruby Rails Developer Contract information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Ruby on Rails Developer (Contract), and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Ruby on Rails Developer (Contract), you need strong proficiency in Ruby, Rails framework, RESTful APIs, and a proven track record in software development, typically evidenced by a degree in computer science or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools such as Git, PostgreSQL, Docker, and cloud platforms like AWS or Heroku is commonly required, along with knowledge of automated testing frameworks.

These skills ensure the developer can independently produce high-quality, maintainable code while efficiently collaborating with distributed teams.

What is a Remote Ruby Rails Developer Contract?

A Remote Ruby Rails Developer Contract is a temporary or project-based job where a software developer works remotely to build or maintain web applications using the Ruby on Rails framework. These developers are typically responsible for writing clean, maintainable code, collaborating with remote teams, and implementing features based on client requirements. The contract nature means the position is not permanent and usually lasts for a set duration or until specific project milestones are completed. Working remotely allows developers to perform their tasks from any location, often with flexible hours. This setup is popular for tech companies seeking specialized talent without committing to long-term employment.

What are some common challenges faced by remote Ruby on Rails developers working on contract, and how can they be addressed?

Remote Ruby on Rails developers working on contract often face challenges such as managing communication across different time zones, staying aligned with project goals, and ensuring code consistency with distributed teams. To overcome these, it's important to establish clear communication channels, participate actively in daily standups or sprint meetings, and adhere to shared coding standards and documentation practices. Utilizing collaboration tools like Slack, GitHub, and project management platforms helps maintain transparency and streamline workflows, making it easier to deliver high-quality code on time.

The ideal dev is self-motivated with real-world experience and there is no question in your mind that you could take an idea and turn it into a functional and beautiful product. You don't need a fancy degree, a certain number of years of coding experience, or big tech experience -- but you do need to be a nice person and a good communicator.
Basic requirements:
- You'll be expected to complete a Rails coding challenge as part of the interview process (everybody on the team has done well on it).
- You must live and work within a few time zones of Pacific (California) time. We are on zoom and slack a lot.
- You must be able to own a project and work directly with people who will use your tools.
- You need to have above average skills on the front end
If you're motivated to be more, and better, than you are today, if you're not afraid to work with proven, highly skilled people who will ask for your best, to advance a worthy cause, in a fast-paced environment, with a lot of growth opportunity -- then you're a good fit for Decile Group.
And we want to work with you too!
Who do you want to work with?
  • The Decile Group tech team is fully remote
  • We offer competitive salary + equity
  • Our mission is to improve the world by increasing equality and diversity for startup funding
  • We work with an open source tech stack, primarily Ruby on Rails
  • Our leadership is deeply experienced, having been involved in multiple rocketship unicorn success stories.
  • Mentorship to help you reach your potential
  • Mentorship opportunities to help _others_ reach _their_ potential
  • Silicon Valley scalability

What skills do you need? The soft stuff:
  • You are comfortable and confident on the front-end
  • You can take a project from idea to implementation without a lot of oversight
  • You are a good communicator in both written and spoken English
  • You have learned _a lot_ of lessons and solved _a lot_ of problems in your career
  • You can work in the Pacific (California) time zone
  • You aren't afraid of a fast paced environment where there is more to do than time to do it
  • You are willing to complete a code challenge as part of the interview process

What skills do you need? The tech stuff:
  • 3+ years of coding experience, emphasis on front-end (turbo, hotwire, stimulus, tailwind)
  • Ruby on Rails or another open source stack
  • JavaScript
  • Tailwinds or another CSS library
  • AWS or Google Cloud

$60,000 - $140,000 a year
