solving complex problems
developing elegant, efficient, high-quality code
learning and improving all the time
collaborating with clients and colleagues to consistently deliver results.

What Ruby on Rails developer jobs look like at Boost
The work is collaborative, varied and satisfying. Here's an overview of what the role looks like here and what you can expect day to day.
Your key responsibilities will be:
working closely with our clients and designers to deliver solutions to complex problems

developing high quality and well-tested code
improving our Continuous Delivery pipeline, (using Github actions and Gitlab CI) automating tests, linters, security and accessibility audits and deployments

managing our clients' applications in Docker, using either Kubernetes or AWS ECS
collaborating with our designers to build beautiful interfaces that maximise user experience and accessibility
