Here at The Beans Group and studentbeans.com we are striving to help students to make the most of being a student. We currently have a small engineering team, however in order to impact all parts of student life across the globe, we need help – in the form of a new Back End Junior Software Engineer – to realise this ambition.
We are working with what we believe are the best tools that are currently available, and we constantly look to improve and renew. In order to achieve the best result in this fast paced, constantly evolving industry you will need to be able to quickly adapt and learn fast.
Being at the bleeding edge of technology is very exciting and makes our work varied and fun, however brings with it a lot of challenges that can only be overcome by working together and staying true to our principals, and learning from our mistakes and failures (As our CEO always says, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. We think he stole that from Einstein….)
All of our new development is in Ruby, using Rails, but we’re flexible and open to learning and using other languages, frameworks, and technologies, if there’s a good argument for them.
Our legacy code is written in PHP5 but is currently in the process of being made redundant by a complete re-write (our old code that is, not PHP).
If you think that you can help us to achieve our lofty ambitions, please apply and tell us what you can bring to make our story a success. Millions of students around the world are waiting for your big idea. We’d also love to see a portfolio of your past or open-source work, on GitHub, some other code host, or your own site.
