Working With Rails

Job Summary
We are looking for a programming virtuoso to work alongside a small team of developers and designers committed to building a robust, performant and scalable web application that our users love. You have an attention to detail and a professional curiosity that extends beyond the workplace. You will work in a mostly autonomous environment, so you have to be just as awesome at getting things done as you are at composing elegant solutions.

Most of our code is written in Ruby and runs on the Rails stack backed by a MySQL database, but we also incorporate other technologies such as Node.js, Memcached and Redis. We use GitHub for version control and our infrastructure is entirely hosted via cloud services.

This is a full-time position at our headquarters in Dallas, TX and includes a competitive base salary, a full range of benefits, and stock options.

Requirements:
- Passion for developing excellent software and an appreciation for elegant code
- 2+ years Ruby experience (consideration will be given to polyglots)
- Strong understanding of MVC web frameworks and REST concepts
- Strong understanding of relational databases including complex queries and optimization
- Familiarity with key/value stores and caching techniques
- Familiarity with JavaScript and its frameworks a plus
- Open source project contributions a plus
- Ability to play "Careless Whisper" on saxophone a plus
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
