Job Openings:
Software Developer
We are looking for an experienced software developer with a solid background in web–based applications. The job is primarily new Rails development with a small amount of Java. We are specifically looking for someone who works very well in a small team environment – no rock stars need apply. Our methodology is agile, test driven, and we relentlessly refactor. We take a lot of pride in building great products and being able to look at the code and feel good. We pair program when appropriate – maybe 30% of the time.
We are open to someone who is not yet totally fluent in Ruby and/or Rails, if you have a strong software development background. But bear in mind that if you are still coming up to speed, we would expect you to be highly motivated and a quick learner. You must have at least spent enough time with Ruby and/or Rails on your own to know the basics, but maybe have not yet used it in a commercial application. That’s fine – a few months with us and you´ll be flying.
Your most important characteristic to us is not how many details of Rails or metaprogramming that you know – it’s about having a strong practical sense of design for objects, algorithms and data structures, coupled with being a good communicator and team player. And if you are already strong in Rails – that’s even better.
An important aspect of the job (even though it´s not where you would spend most of your time) is that you would be the main person responsible for building and maintaining interfaces to a several Java classes that we need access to. So in considering if you are right for this job, bear in mind that we assume you are a competent Java programmer.
