We’re looking for an experienced Ruby on Rails developer to ramp up development of our global online market research platform. Hundreds of the world’s leading brands have used our web and mobile apps to better understand what their customers think, feel and do. Localised into over 30 languages, it is well known throughout the industry for its ease of use, flexibility and reliability.

• A self-starter who thrives in an autonomous environment.
