Rails developer needed for stealth/VC funded YC S09 startup [Bay Area]

We were part of the Summer 09 batch. We have yet to launch and have closed an angel round from some of the best angels in Silicon Valley and we have raised a VC/Seed round, so we are well capitalized.

Since we're still stealth, all we can say right now is that we are tackling a very large problem in a very old industry... this is not your run of the mill Silicon Valley company.

We are looking for a talented rails developer to join our team. Here are the job requirements.

Requirements:

  * 1+ years developing in Ruby on Rails
  * Good understanding of JavaScript, experience with jQuery (or other framework)
  * Deep understanding and appreciation for MVC
  * Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science preferred, not required

Bonus Points:

  * Ability to build mock-ups in HTML/CSS by hand. Fast.
  * API development experience
  * SOAP experience
  * TDD experience
  * Deep understanding of MySQL, can hand-craft optimized queries when Rails fails
  * Sphinx experience
  * Photoshop/Illustrator experience

Competitive full-time salary, equity compensation plan, and benefits. You will have the freedom to choose the technology and tools you need to be most productive.

Please send a resume to:

railsycjob@gmail.com

Include in your cover email three interesting things about yourself to give us a little more insight into who you are as a person.

This position requires your presence in the Bay Area.
