Overview
RoR Developer - Business Applications
San Francisco, CA or Portland, OR
Are you a skilled Developer who knows Ruby on Rails cold – but you were never fully satisfied in the Dev box, and you really want to understand and affect the business side? We want you to bring all of your code cred AND then plunk you right into the middle of the business, hands-on with executives in Marketing, Sales, BizDev and Finance – as well as our partners like Heroku, EngineYard, Amazon, and Joyent. You’ll work at a fast-growing company with a hot product, and be able to use your considerable tech skills to turbocharge our business success.
If you are right for us, you have top-notch software design and coding skills, you work well in a distributed team, and you consider quality to be job #1. You follow through with stakeholders to ensure that your features are accurate and easy to use. Of course. But this job is a lot more than just great coding.
You'll write the code that scales our business. You'll work on the all-important billing and subscriptions codebase that pipes in our revenue. You'll code up reports, mine data, and integrate with external systems like Marketo and SalesForce to provide critical business intelligence. You'll write RESTful APIs, and modify our site to call into external APIs, so that we interoperate in a seamless, "Web 3.0" way with our many partners. You'll work directly with senior management to define mission-critical projects and drive them to completion.
To be considered seriously, you will have:
• Built and deployed commercial RoR applications
• Strength in all the Rails fundamentals
• Developed web service clients and RESTful server interfaces
• Excellent knowledge of relational databases and SQL
• The ability to communicate about complex technical problems in a simple, accessible way
• A friendly bed-side manner when speaking directly with your users
• A vague feeling that maybe you should have done an MBA (don't worry, this job will be better than an MBA!)
