What are we looking for?

You’re experienced in both Ruby and Rails, and also understand where the boundaries lie between them. You can code in Ruby without any of Rails’ training wheels if necessary.
You have experience using Javascript framework(s), understand the value of them, but also know when plain Javascript is enough.
You enjoy integrating with APIs and aren’t easily dissuaded when encountering unreliable or poorly documented systems.
You code with reason and can justify the important decisions you made during development.
You can communicate clearly in English, both in writing and verbally.
You’re up for mentoring coworkers and can give in-depth, productive feedback during code reviews. While you appreciate the small stuff, you recognise bike-shedding and can avoid its pitfalls.
You know and can apply best practices when relevant. That means the usual like version control, testing, and refactoring; but also higher level concepts such as good object oriented design.
You're aware of the trade-offs involved in proper engineering and can make balanced business decisions, keeping in mind all the stakeholders of the project.
You’ve got opinions on code design and you can discuss them, but you’re professional enough to not let those opinions get in the way of a consensus if necessary.
