Reference Number:
BntRuby

Job Description:
The first phase will be taking our current web app written in ASP and doing a re-write in Ruby on Rails using TDD. The reason we are doing the re-write is we want to clean up the code base and set it up to quickly make improvements customers care about without breaking legacy code. The second phase will be to make improvements we've identified need to happen by observing our customer behavior.

The third phase will be to build a sister application to our current app - we'll tell you more about that later.

The Approach:
Agile. We're drinking the Kool-Aid here. We've worked in a waterfall approach before but we're not interested in taking that approach anymore. We believe in failing often to succeed sooner and throwing away code that sucks. Our technical leader taught Agile at Object Mentor so we're not just saying Agile - we mean it.

Experience Level:
3 Years

Requirements:
NO H1 VISAS PLEASE - NO CORP TO CORP

Location:
