Ruby (Maybe on Rails) Programmer
February 1, 2008 11:31 AM

"You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great."

We heard the hype, we tried it for ourselves, and we've taken the plunge—we're all in with Ruby on Rails. More joy, less code. Convention over configuration. The whole bit. Better than all that: we're having fun actually building a business around something useful and exciting to designers and digital photographers. Are you somebody who knows exactly what we mean?

LuckyOliver, a Campbell, California-based digital photography web site, is looking for a programmer who gets what we're trying to do with the business and knows right how to make it sing on Rails. You've got to be a stellar thinker who knows how move from brainstorm to prototype quick—it's all about momentum. You've got to be willing to change more than you love your code—mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great. You need to be articulate and a good writer—so that the whole team gets it.

Things you'll need to know:

* Ruby on Rails
* MySQL
* Subversion

We'll help you get into our setup and learn anything you are unfamiliar with. This is a very good environment for an experienced Ruby programmer who is hot to trot with scalability solutions.

This position is available immediately, pays competitively and is full-time. You'll be working in our offices in downtown Campbell, where we have parking spaces, a Wii and a good attitude. We're a creative, fun-loving, hard-working team and if you thrive on the energy (read: chaos) of a startup environment, you'll like LuckyOliver. We're a startup founded on a business (ZURB) that's been around for 8 years (read: eons), so we're not going anywhere.

payscale: Competitive
job type: full-time
