What are Ruby on Rails contractors?

Ruby on Rails contractors are professionals who specialize in building web applications using the Ruby on Rails framework. They are typically hired on a contract basis, either for short-term projects, specific features, or to augment in-house development teams. These contractors handle tasks such as backend development, API integration, database management, and sometimes front-end work, all centered around the Rails ecosystem. Their expertise allows businesses to rapidly develop, maintain, or upgrade web applications efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Ruby On Rails Contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Ruby On Rails Contractor, you need strong programming skills in Ruby, expertise in the Rails framework, and a solid understanding of web application architecture, typically backed by experience or a relevant degree. Familiarity with tools like Git, PostgreSQL/MySQL, RESTful APIs, and deployment platforms such as Heroku or AWS is often required. Excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills help contractors efficiently collaborate with clients and teams. These skills ensure high-quality, maintainable code and successful project delivery in competitive, fast-paced environments.

What are some common challenges Ruby On Rails Contractors face when joining a new development team?

Ruby On Rails Contractors often need to quickly adapt to existing codebases and team workflows, which can pose challenges if documentation is sparse or coding standards differ. Additionally, contractors must rapidly build rapport with permanent team members to ensure smooth collaboration, particularly in agile environments. Balancing multiple projects or client expectations can also require strong time management and communication skills. Being proactive about asking questions and clarifying requirements can help overcome these hurdles and contribute effectively from the start.

Info-Tech Research Group

Toronto, ON • On-site, Remote

Full-time

Re-posted 29 days ago

Job description

Info-Tech Research Group delivers impartial, highly pertinent IT research, enabling CIOs and IT leaders to make well-informed, strategic decisions. We are currently serving over 30,000 professionals and collaborate closely with IT teams, equipping them with actionable tools and expert guidance to drive measurable results and enhance technology initiatives and organizational processes.

Why join us?

  • We pride ourselves on consistent year-on-year growth, with double-digit growth even during a global pandemic.
  • We are in the Top 3 on LinkedIn's Top Companies List in Canada.
  • Info-Tech fosters a growth-focused, entrepreneurial culture with unlimited opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • We provide financial support for professional development and training.

About the role

We’re looking for strong Intermediate Software Developers to help us build A.I. products and services.  While no experience with A.I. technology is required for this role, experience is a plus, and a candidate should be eager and willing to experiment with and learn new technologies.

Our stack is mostly built with Ruby on Rails, MySQL, JS, and Azure/OpenAI services, but we’ll be using Python more and more as we build out our future A.I. architecture. As such, candidate for this role should have either senior level web development experience, preferably with an MVC framework, or senior level experience with Python, or both.

Your responsibilities as an Intermediate Software Developer:

  • Build, test, and support the development of web software applications and internal tools
  • Analyze requirements and decide the best ways to meet or even rework them; unique and innovative ideas are welcome
  • Be proactive by finding and addressing areas of technical concern
  • Mentor your peers and contribute to code reviews, and be mentored if something is new to you
  • Collaborate across teams to continually improve our processes
  • Promote the use of design patterns and best practices 
  • Contribute to Agile ceremonies for prioritizing, understanding, and estimating
  • Support the growth of our Agile practices through Retrospectives

Why you should join us

  • Work with like-minded individuals in a work-hard/play-hard culture
  • Continued learning is a major part of our best-practice-driven environment. We support our teams with a substantial budget for training and career development
  • Work-life balance is important to us: after-hours and weekend work are rare to non-existent
  • You will work in a highly collaborative team that functions efficiently even in a remote work setting. You will have flexibility to work from home, at one of our unique offices in London (Ontario) or Toronto, or in a hybrid mode
  • We offer great competitive salaries, benefits plan, and RRSP matching plans 

Minimum qualifications:

  • Degree or diploma from an accredited institution
  • Minimum 4 years of experience in a professional software development role
  • Experience supporting and mentoring junior to intermediate developers
  • Comfortable developing in an Agile product development framework

Must Have Skills: 

  • Experience developing relational database solutions
  • SQL authoring and optimization
  • Experience with HTML 5, CSS3, JavaScript
  • Ability to communicate technical details and build functional requirements
  • Experience with source control software
  • Ability to maintain focus on priority, and deliver solutions appropriate to requirements
  • Experience writing for and improving existing code efficiencies for large data and high volumes

Nice to Have: 

  • Experience with Ruby & Ruby on Rails (highly desired)
  • Experience with Salesforce integration
  • Exposure to AWS tools & services

We encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick all the boxes!

Language Skills: Bilingual proficiency in French, Spanish or German is strongly preferred to support our diverse client base across North America and globally.

Info-Tech Research Group of companies is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected status or characteristic including Minority/Female/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity/Disability/Veteran and are pleased to consider all qualified applicants. To that end, upon request, ITRG will ensure, to the extent possible, that accommodation be made available to applicants throughout the recruitment and hiring process.
