Farmdrop | Ruby Developers, all levels | London | Full-time | On-site

Farmdrop is the ethical online supermarket, delivering the freshest groceries from a network of sustainable food producers, and on fair terms. We're looking for developers to come and join our tech team. We're looking for one lead developer, along with a few less senior developers. We'd also be happy to hear from senior developers who don't want to be leads. We can also offer training if you would like to be a lead but have no experience of management.

Our backend application is written in Ruby-on-Rails, but we have a number of smaller Ruby services running without rails. We try to pick the best tool for the job. We've got some production systems running with databases like couchdb and neo4j for some specific use cases but we mainly stick to Postgres. We're also introducing Kafka more into our system for communication between services.

Farmdrop | Backend Software Engineer | London, UK | Onsite Farmdrop is the ethical online supermarket, delivering the freshest groceries from a network of sustainable food producers, and on fair terms. We’re using technology to build a simpler and fairer food system, where customers get tastier food and producers receive a fairer share of the profits. Our driving mission is to fix the food chain by becoming the greenest and healthiest grocery service in the UK.

Our tech stack currently includes: Ruby / Rails; Kafka; neo4j; GraphQL; Postgres; Redis; ElasticSearch; Couchdb; Kubernetes

We have a fairly large Rails application, but we're moving towards smaller services communicating asynchronously over Kafka. Some of those also use Rails, some use plain Ruby. We're open to other languages and technologies where it makes sense.
