The Ruby on Rails Software Architects are critical to designing, building, and leading the next generation of product architecture. A strong Ruby on Rails Architect will identify and streamline current architecture bottlenecks and bugs, devise solutions to the hardest problems and develop efficient code to ensure the product is setup for success. Ruby on Rails Software Architects will be given responsibility for the end-to-end process of a key technology platform. They will facilitate the platform as it supplies source, build, and test services. The expectation will be to utilize their extensive experience to continually improve and redefine the developed software. They must consistently ensure top quality and productivity by implementing automation wherever possible. The best will have a willingness to embrace the concept of iterative development as the means for building excellent products. The candidate must be ready to give all the effort necessary to do an excellent job - even if it means putting in extra time to research the problem you’re facing. The architect must be a perfectionist - knowing how it should be done and not stop until it’s done right.
