YourGrocer.com.au is hiring a Remote Senior Rails Developer
[YourGrocer](https://www.yourgrocer.com.au/about) delivers fresh food from great independent grocers, butchers, bakers and markets to homes across Melbourne. Customers place orders through our website, which is built with Rails and React. We also have various back-office apps to manage our logistics.\n\nWe're looking for an experienced developer to join our team for an initial 3 month contract, with a view to extension or a more permanent arrangement.\n\n## What you'll be working on\n\nWith grocery delivery in demand more than ever, we've experienced a lot of growth this year. As we've grown the number of shops we work with and customers we deliver to, we have identified opportunities to build out new features and make existing things better. \n\nOur tech systems have also grown over the last 7 years, and like many long-term codebases there are some issues with technical debt. We are actively prioritising dealing with these problems in order to ensure the future maintainability and scalability of the platform.\n\nYou'll have a lot of independence to decide what is most important to work on, but these are the current priorities:\n\n- New feature development\n- Improving acceptance test coverage in the most important areas\n- Upgrading old dependencies\n- Finding and fixing performance problems\n- Re-working some architectural patterns which aren't serving us well\n\n## Who you'll be working with\n\nThe tech team is currently small:\n\n[Liam](https://liamcooke.com/) has been with the company for a few years and has the broadest knowledge of the tech systems.\n\n[Jon](https://jonleighton.name/work/) has been working with the team as a contractor and started this particular piece of work. He'll have less availability from August which is why we're looking for someone else to carry the flame!\n\nWe also have Matt the product owner, and Lisa the designer. You might not have too much interaction with them for this particular piece of work, but they are available if needed.\n\n## Where you'll be working\n\nThe team is based in Melbourne, Australia, but this will be a remote role, at least during COVID times!\n\nIf you're nearby, we'd love to be able to meet up when the situation allows, but this is not a hard requirement.\n\nIf you're further afield, you will need to have some overlap with [Melbourne time](https://time.is/Melbourne).\n\n## Hours\n\nWe're open to finding a mutually beneficial arrangement โ it does not have to be 5 days per week.\n\n## About you\n\nWe're looking for somebody who:\n\n- Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues\n- Has a depth of experience with Rails, over several years\n- Makes pragmatic decisions with an understanding of effort vs reward and how their work will benefit the wider business\n- Provides insights and guidance about software design and architecture\n- Writes automated tests and cares about software quality\n- Works independently and manages their own time \n\nPlease mention the words **LOGIC OCCUR STAGE** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMzQuMjM5LjE4NS4yMg==).

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
