Featured Job

Ruby on Rails Developer in Pune, India

Pay: open / negotiable + benefits

Who we're looking for

We want someone very comfortable with server-side web technologies such as Ruby, but at the same time someone who isn't afraid to treat JS/DHTML as a real language. Someone who will apply creative design and engineering rigor to front-end programming.

What you would be working on

socialmedian is a news service that connects people with personalized news and information. socialmedian enables you to easily keep up-to-date on the news that matters to you and to people who share your interests. For socialmedian, we follow extreme agile development methods, which mean that the features that you would be working on would be released in weeks rather than in months. You'll get a real chance to work on something that would be used by hundreds of thousands of users.

You should have

Strong experience with Ruby On Rails.

Experience designing scalable, fault-tolerant databases.

Experience designing modular, object-oriented JavaScript.

As a guideline, we expect you have experience working on JavaScript/HTML/CSS ("AJAX") web applications.

A feel for good design -- both in terms of engineering and user experience.

Very strong practical knowledge of relevant W3C standards (XHTML, DOM, CSS).

Demonstrated expert-level knowledge in overcoming cross-browser compatibility problems in JavaScript and CSS.

Familiarity with http protocol and ability to use it for low-level troubleshooting.

Understanding of semantic coding and why it's important.

Tolerance for the overhead of rapidly iterating toward greater usability. Insistence on complete/frozen specifications just won't work here.

And some nice-to-haves

Experience with memcached

CVS / SVN

Knowing your way around Unix

Handy with regexes
