Joining them you may not have previous experience with Ruby on Rails (Python, PHP, Java etc all fine) but you'll learn quickly with the support of your colleagues.
The company are well-established (they've been going for 10 years) and are growing on the back of some recent contract wins with some really high-profile clients.

They pay competitive salaries (up to £55,000 for Senior Engineers) and there are good benefits on top; strong pension, good holiday allowance, private medical. There is also good career development on offer - they promote from within and every team member has regular one-on-ones with Managers and individual training/development programmes.
