Ruby on Rails developer

Rails process and deployment automation

This resource will work closely with our internal engineers to refine our development process and build automation that will allow us to meet the following goals.

• Support arbitrary deployment of individual features. Every git branch should be deployable to production, merged to Master after successful deployment, and the Master branch should always be a clean representation of what is running in production. The merge of a feature branch to Master, upon successful deployment, should be automated as well.
• Every Pull Request submitted should be automatically deployed to a Test environment, where it can be validated autonomously from any other feature branches.
• Deployment of a feature branch to a Staging environment should be triggered by a command mechanism, such as a messenger bot (hubot, slackbot, etc). Deployment should include a command driven rollback option, in the event a deployment introduces issues.
  
• Deployment of current staging application version to the Production environment should be triggered by a command mechanism, such as a messenger bot (hubot, slackbot, etc). Deployment should include a command driven rollback option, in the event a deployment introduces issues.
  

Upon completion of automation work, this resource will switch over to doing feature work with the Online Store development team for the duration of the contract.
