i2 FAST | UK | Ruby on Rails developer | Full-time | REMOTE | <a href="
i2 FAST is a new food testing laboratory, launched in 2019, that serves the food and allied industries.
We are in the process of creating a modern LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) platform to help run our analytical laboratories and provide the interface for our clients to analyse their results, book in their samples, and an ever-expanding list of functionality.
We aim to be the best Food testing business and provide the most innovative web platform for our clients to use.
At the moment, the development team is only tiny. We are looking for people to become core members of the development team.  Your role will be critical in helping drive the product forward.
We are looking for people who have had a few years of Rails experience or experienced polygots who know some Ruby.   From senior to mid-level developers.
Currently, the LIMS system runs the food laboratory at i2 FAST. Still, we need to develop it further, so it runs the whole i2 Analytical business, which is a much bigger sister company.  Achieving this will require extensive development. We are only at the start of this journey.
The position will be primarily a remote role, but there will be occasions when the whole team gets together.
It will be quite a varied role as there will be many different types of projects to work on. Eventually, we will be creating mobile applications to support our customers out in the field (literally a field - they will record which soil samples they take).  There will be opportunities to choose what kind of projects interest you.  If you are interested in dealing with management and other laboratory staff to gather product requirements, then you could do that too.
Technologies we use:
Back-end: Ruby on Rails, Que Active Job, Heroku, Postgres, Dry-rb gems
Front-end: a mixure of Rails views (erb/haml) and React
