SimplePay | Cape Town, South Africa | Ruby on Rails Developer | ONSITE VISA https://www.simplepay.co.za
SimplePay is hiring mid-level to senior Ruby on Rails developers to help with our global expansion. We currently have clients in South Africa, Singapore and Ireland. We aim to delight customers with how simple we make payroll.
The role will be mostly back-end focused, with PostgreSQL as database. But some front-end skills will be a plus. Web development outside of Rails is also welcome, as long as you're happy to convert.
The most important part of the interview is an object oriented design exercise, which is also a test of problem-solving skills.
Visas: We can't point you in the right direction for getting a visa. You'll need 2 years of experience if you have a related qualification and more if you don't. The visa process does take at least 3 months, however.
Please mail careers@simplepay.co.za if you're interested, putting "Hacker News" in the subject line.
