If you are uploading to Amazon S3 i found that using the Paperclip gem was pretty straight forward.

Here is a walkthrough from Heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/paperclip-s3

I recommend you try the CarrierWave gem.

The docs are excellent, and show you how to create an upload form. CarrierWave is what many Rails professionals choose to use because it offers many conveniences, ways to upload multiple files at once, multiple backend storage systems such as Amazon S3, etc.

For example, you could write a job that has a title and image like this:

class ImageUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  storage :file
end

class Job < ActiveRecord::Base
  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
end

Alternatively, if you're interested in learning how to do it in Rails without any gem, then read the Rails guides on form helpers for uploading files

For example, you could write a form that has a job title and image like this:

<%= form_for @job do |f| %>
  <%= f.text_field :title %>
  <%= f.file_field :image %>
<% end %>
