We’re growing, fast, and need a Full-Stack Rails Developer to join our small team of world-class designers and developers. Every member of our team is expected to ship top-notch code daily and take real ownership of their work. On the same note, this is an incredible opportunity to get down into the trenches of a growing business/product, a minute before it boosts, work with cutting-edge technologies, and solve challenging problems daily.
Ideally you…
-
Have experience building complex web applications.
-
Are a self starter, can look at a large list, pick out important tasks and just do it.
-
Can jump into an existing code base and reverse engineer functionality on day one.
-
Are proficient in Ruby, Rails, Javascript, jQuery, CSS, HTML, MySQL.
-
Would be perfectly comfortable modifying a jQuery library or bundling a custom Ruby gem into your own project.
-
Are very comfortable with Git, GitHub, and Heroku.
-
Enjoy the idea of deploying your own code on your first day of work and being responsible for what happens.
-
Are passionate about user experience, whether that means going the extra mile to deliver a simple yet powerful UI, or an API which even the most novice developer could master.
-
Are obsessive about reducing operational overhead whenever and wherever possible.
-
Write unit tests, but are not militant about things like testing frameworks and code coverage.
A typical day will involve…
-
Quickly syncing up with the team about what’s getting done today.
-
Minimal meetings. We do a few quick Voxer messages every week and you will have the occasional meeting to hash out ideas with the design team, but that’s it.
-
Writing code that delivers great user experience and drives down operations.
Bonus points if you…
-
Have built and launched your own side project web application as a Founder/Co-Founder.
-
Know what Growth Hacking is and have basic online marketing experience.
-
Have used Google Ananlyics, KISSmetrics, Mixpanel, or similar data analytics tools
-
Are familiar with HAML, SCSS, CoffeeScript
