oneforty is looking for a talented and highly motivated Rails developer to join our funded startup.

We’re a small, ambitious team building a marketplace for Twitter applications. We’re looking for self-starters who get things done and are fired up about building a social web application. The position offers competitive salary with equity, benefits and an opportunity to join an early-stage startup to play a key role in growing an exciting business.

  • is an excellent coder who is comfortable tackling open-ended problems.
  • has prior at least 2+ years of web development experience, having built & deployed apps in Rails with a strong understanding of the lifecycle of a web request (DNS, HTTP(S), cookies, etags, etc.). Prior experience with web performance at scale is a plus.
  • is a generalist and is knowledgeable (although not necessarily expert) with related backend technologies (Linux, MySQL, AWS), front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript/JQuery) in addition to web programming practices (TDD, git).
  • demonstrates love of continued learning (ex. hacking on NoSQL, building a node.js app, reading up on HTML5, etc.), and has contributed to open source or personal projects.
  • has a background in Computer Science.

Perks

  • Using Twitter is part of the job.
  • Loaded MacBookPro.
