Lead Developer (Ruby on Rails)


Job Description

While we do have ninjas on retainer, they only provide protection. None of them are awesome programmers who can also crack some good jokes. In fact, we‘re pretty sure ninjas don‘t laugh, which makes it very awkward in the office when we do.

That‘s why we need you: someone who‘s a ninja Ruby on Rails developer, with knowledge of JavaScript (jQuery in particular), HAML and C#. We‘re not limited to degreed candidates, just a person who‘s intelligent, a great communicator, and enjoys working with a team to create an awesome product.

This is a job that will grow as we do. While you will start as our lead developer, you will transition into our head of technology. That‘s why it‘s important we find someone well rounded and who‘s a good fit within our eclectic team. So when you let us know about your 1337 tech skillz, tell us about yourself as well, don‘t just define yourself by your job title.


Requirements
  • 1+ years of experience
  • Ruby on Rails expertise is a must
  • JavaScript (jQuery in particular), HAML, C# and PHP experience preferred
  • System administration skills in Linux and Windows are an enormous plus
  • Knowledge of Apache and Passenger would be helpful
  • Ability to learn quickly
  • Great communication
  • A happy attitude
  • Serious passion and pride for your work
  • Creative and unorthodox thinker
  • Professional yet knows how to have fun
  • Ability to work from home

Not Required, But Nice to Have
  • Experience with social media and blogging
  • Marketing or communications background
  • Experience with SaaS companies
  • Quickness and dexterity to avoid surly ninjas

One Last Word

This is not just a skills match but a personality match as well. You‘ll be working closely with others, sometimes putting in long hours in stressful situations. If we like you, we‘ll give you a small project to see how you work, so be prepared to show your stuff.

And if you think you aren‘t quite qualified for this job, try us. Sell yourself. Because we also know we‘re looking for a very elusive individual, a real ninja. And they‘re pretty hard to find.
