[Katharine Krauss]

All Together Now

Senior Developer: Ruby on Rails

We are a small, funded startup based in Santa Cruz, CA providing a SaaS solution
for web development agencies. We are looking for a full-time technical lead
developer who can wear a variety of hats, and grow into a deeper level of
involvement.

This position is contract-to-hire. Telecommuting is okay, but please be close
enough to Santa Cruz to meet with us once a week or so.

Our initial offering is a web application, but we plan to add mobile interfaces and
expose our API fairly soon after our initial (private) Beta. The ideal candidate looks
something like this:

• You enjoy solving problems, building things that work really well, and have a
talent for designing highly maintainable code and APIs;

• You have a strong background in Ruby and Rails, and can explain its
strengths and weaknesses;

• You have a strong understanding of web and application performance,
including algorithm design and selection, caching, database performance,
monitoring, and how to ensure high availability of a web-based platform;

• You are experienced with deployment, scaling, and redundancy in a cloud
environment such as Amazon or Rackspace;

• You can explain the strengths and weaknesses of PostgreSQL versus MySQL;

• You can design and develop a clean, well-structured JSON and/or XML API
and manage versioning through its lifecycle;

• You have a strong understanding of Service Oriented Architecture, and how
to decompose a system for maximum benefit;

• You are comfortable with Agile development methodologies and test-first
development, and have the discipline to stick to these when the going gets
rough;

• Preferably, you can write Java and/or C++ code, and can explain when to
use one of these languages vs. a more dynamic one.

• It'd also be nice if you can point to a GitHub project you created/contribute
to, a strong StackOverflow reputation, or can show us something on the web
that you created and of which you are proud.

Highly valued:

• An ambitious, intelligent, self-starter.
• Interest in being part of a start-up
• Passion
• Kindness
• A sense of humor
• Honesty
• Deep care about users and the user experience
• Ability to admit when wrong
• Ability to deliver bad news
• Patience with other people
• Impatience with technology

In Addition:
We offer a competitive salary, a financial stake in the company, and the opportunity
to become a co-founder. You can work at home or with us in our Santa Cruz coworkspace.
This role can evolve depending on the skills, experience and
professional interests of the candidate.

Us: New Bay Area company with respectful, rational, peers. We are as dedicated to
building a great culture as we are to building a great product.
