Ruby on Rails Programmer - Company Rated Tech Top 100

The job title is Ruby on Rails Programmer, but really your job involves bringing to life the software that is used by our consumers, customers and internal users. You will be responsible, in concert with our product and operations teams, for feature definition, project planning and estimation, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Often, we work with Ruby and Rails, but there are many other tools in our toolbox, including PostgreSQL, Solr, Chef, Redis, AWS, PhoneGap, and more. Our developers are given the freedom to find the best solution, but must take on the responsibility for a successful implementation. We are looking for an individual who has a proven ability to ship great software regardless of the technology.

Compensation: Highly competitive salary dependent upon experience; bonuses based on individual and company performance; fully paid health/dental benefits, fully paid gym memberships; all the caffeinated beverages you desire
