Looking for an experienced Ruby on Rails developer to build desktop and mobile travel solutions.  We provide business and technology systems for leading hospitality and travel companies.  We utilize open-source cloud, web, and mobile technologies to develop functionality for eCommerce, CRM, marketing, and other travel related needs.  

We love full-stack developers that are fluent in multiple technologies like RoR, React, and Java, but if your simply an ace with RoR, that works for us.

Candidates MUST be located in the USA and be able to work during typical EST hours.  Candidates located in the New England area that are willing to come to Waltham for occasional meetings and in-office development will be given a priority.

Required Skills:

• Experienced RoR developer that can write code while keeping an eye on performance and architecture
• Familiar with XML and JSON for messaging

Helpful Skills:

• Great communicator and team player that can bridge the gap between cool designs, challenging requirements, and a growing code base
• Team player that doesn't mind leading and following as needed
• Good remote work skills, which means (during expected hours) you stay focused on delivering work and you do not get distracted by kids, honey-do lists, or reruns of Game of Thrones. 

About TripCraft

TripCraft offers mobile solutions for the travel industry.  

We are travel and technology veterans that developed some of the travel industry's most innovative products, and have held leadership positions at renowned travel companies like Sabre, Pegasus, hubX, and ITA Software.

Several years back we realized the future of travel is all about mobile, so we began developing a new platform that would support the many needs and technologies required by mobile travelers.  Along the way we picked up some impressive clients like Mandarin Oriental Hotels, Caesars Entertainment, Amadeus International, The Standard Hotels, and others who use our platform to power mobile solutions for their customers and employees.  

Our approach is to offer a technology / product platform that supports any mobile strategy or business need.  We don’t pick sides when it comes to mobile and are as comfortable with native apps and mobile websites as we are with iOS, Android and Windows operating systems.  Our impartial philosophy combined with cool designs, great engineering, and industry expertise, uniquely positions us as innovators and leaders in mobile travel.

Our culture is fun, casual, and flexible, and we are primarily a work-at-home firm.  We believe in creating a friendly, flexible work situation that lets people be creative and productive,  but you must be able to come into the office as needed to ensure things are moving in the right direction.

We like to think we have the heart and soul of a start-up, but the wisdom and experience of many successful (and a few failed) companies.  Our development approach is primarily Agile, but we use whatever works best for the team.  Being a virtual company, we hold daily scrums to keep everyone in check, and we strive to produce a lot of wire frames and prototypes during development.  Because we don’t have a lot of structure or formalities, you need to be a self-starter, team oriented, and a good communicator.
