Remote Full stack Ruby on Rails Developer

About you

Ideally, you've held a remote position before, or you've held a similar position of responsibility in a traditional organization but now are looking to improve your work-life balance.

You are a well-rounded individual, work is not everything in life, you may have a family and social life. You work hard when it's work time and are able to switch off when it isn't.

You're comfortable communicating with others verbally and in writing. Our team is spread across the world, and so are our users.

You are organized, like to be on top of your responsibilities, and don't let things slip through the cracks. You will be sure to include the name of your favourite tv series as part of your application.

A knack for design / UX will be a plus. A background in Information Security wouldn't hurt either.

You believe in giving back to the community. We started with an open-source project and to this day we remain firm believers in open-source and giving back. Most of what you will be creating with the team will be released as open-source.

Remote Chapter Host

Hosts usually run two or three Chapters in a row. They are then off for one or two months before hosting their next set of Chapters. Each Chapter is four or six weeks long, so a Host is typically running Chapters for two or three months at a time.

There is always a week in-between each Chapter. We call it the ‘gap week’. Hosts arrive at their destinations at the start of the gap week so that they have enough time to prepare for their next Chapter.

The Chapter Host role is a 12-month contract that is paid per completed Chapter. Whenever Hosts are not running a Chapter, there are no work-related expectations from our side. Therefore, we recommend applicants to have other part-time work alongside the Host role. Ideally, you would either already be working as a freelancer, have a part-time remote job, or be running your own company to have a stable income, especially during the months when you’re not running a Chapter.

When on-Chapter, you can expect a part-time commitment (about 20h per week, with most of those hours at the beginning of the Chapter and less at the end) and when off-Chapter, you wouldn’t have any WiFi Tribe-related work.

There may be an opportunity to take on additional projects within the WiFi Tribe company at a later time. This would depend on your skills, work experience, and interests in other areas of our company, as well as what kind of projects are available. Please do not rely on this, as we cannot guarantee that there will be sufficient projects to support your full-time income needs.

Am I the Right Person for this Role?

Our application process takes a lot of time and effort and we've had 200 applicants per available spot. So, out of respect to your time, we want to help you self-assess whether you are exactly the kind of person we're looking for:

You're a natural leader. Somehow people always gravitate around you and look to you for decisions.

You're confident. You're very comfortable being authentic self and your are stable within yourself.

You're brave. You don't shy away from doing the right thing, even when it's hard to do.

You're Reliable: People quickly trust you because you move through life with integrity.

You can 'feel' the room. You're aware of how everyone is feeling and you always make sure that everyone is involved and having a good time.

You're a people person. Your friends and colleagues always tell you that you're really good with people!

You're a community builder. You naturally bring groups of people together around events, experiences, shared interests or ideas. You build a community around you by empowering people to contribute.
