Ruby on Rails Jobs

About the role…

We’re looking for a talented developer with fresh ideas to join our team. There’s lots to do – problem solving and solution design for a start.

About us…

JGP is best known for www.jobsgopublic.com – the UK’s leading jobs board for the public, third and not for profit sectors. Less well known, but a key part of our future strategy, is the provision of software solutions for skills development and all aspects of the recruitment process.

Over the last two years we have developed a platform that powers both our own jobs board and the job sections on many public sector employer’s website. The platform has been developed in Ruby on Rails, using agile & scrum working practices.
