Back-end Developer (Ruby on Rails)

As a Back-end Developer at Innovative Travel, you will help to develop and improve the Ads Manager, our internal application for creating and managing top-quality online marketing campaigns, scaling it up to deal with hundreds of millions of items.

What you will really be doing

• Research, find and develop amazing solutions for our Rails app, focusing on performance
• Work with a distributed infrastructure (and help maintain it)
• Share with the team the latest tech talks you saw and articles you read, and think about their possible value for us

How will you be doing this

• You are a great developer with a sense of pragmatism, not afraid to code your way out of a challenge
• You prioritise your own work together with your team and product owner, eager to be involved in all aspects of product development
• You strive to write clean solutions and performant code, because you know speed is a feature and clean code is its sibling
• You choose and recommend the right tools for whatever job will be thrown at you. Choices that were made in the past are not rules.
• You will work in a motivated team to meet ambitious deadlines. There is always a budget for good ideas.
• Experience is your guru, your gut feeling isn't. To measure is to know.

What we have worked on last quarter

• Campaign Builder - A specially tailored RoR application which can generate search marketing campaigns in huge scale and high quality. It’s ready to help us scale to new heights.
• Scalable Infrastructure - A completely new infrastructure for better performance and scalability for our internal applications. We ain’t afraid of growth!
