Senior Developer: Ruby on Rails
We are a small, funded startup based in Santa Cruz, CA providing a SaaS solution for web development agencies. We are looking for a full-time technical lead
developer who can wear a variety of hats, and grow into a deeper level of involvement.
This position is contract-to-hire. Telecommuting is okay, but please be close enough to Santa Cruz to meet with us once a week or so.
Our initial offering is a web application, but we plan to add mobile interfaces and expose our API fairly soon after our initial (private) Beta.
The ideal candidate looks something like this:
• You enjoy solving problems, building things that work really well, and have a talent for designing highly maintainable code and APIs;
• You have a strong background in Ruby and Rails, and can explain its strengths and weaknesses;
• You have a strong understanding of web and application performance, including algorithm design and selection, caching, database performance, monitoring, and how to ensure high availability of a web-based platform;
• You are experienced with deployment, scaling, and redundancy in a cloud environment such as Amazon or Rackspace;
• You can explain the strengths and weaknesses of PostgreSQL versus MySQL;
• You can design and develop a clean, well-structured JSON and/or XML API and manage versioning through its lifecycle;
• You have a strong understanding of Service Oriented Architecture, and how to decompose a system for maximum benefit;
• You are comfortable with Agile development methodologies and test-first development, and have the discipline to stick to these when the going gets rough;
• Preferably, you can write Java and/or C++ code, and can explain when to use one of these languages vs. a more dynamic one.
• It´d also be nice if you can point to a GitHub project you created/contribute to, a strong StackOverflow reputation, or can show us something on the web that you created and of which you are proud.
Highly valued:
• An ambitious, intelligent, self-starter.
• Interest in being part of a start-up
• Passion
• Kindness
• A sense of humor
• Honesty
• Deep care about users and the user experience
• Ability to admit when wrong
• Ability to deliver bad news
• Patience with other people
• Impatience with technology
In Addition:
We offer a competitive salary, a financial stake in the company, and the opportunity to become a co-founder. You can work at home or with us in our Santa Cruz co-workspace. This role can evolve depending on the skills, experience and professional interests of the candidate.
Us: New Bay Area company with respectful, rational, peers. We are as dedicated to building a great culture as we are to building a great product.
To apply: Send a resume, writing sample, and examples of your work to: lauren@getalltogethernow.com
