We are looking for two awesome Rails developers to join our team.
Red Rover is a profitable start up on a big mission – to accelerate the development of human potential by better organizing and connecting communities. Over 30,000 people use our software to connect to other people who share their passions and discover relevant information in their community. This work involves Ruby, HBase / Hadoop, and Lucene among other things.
You are a great Rails developer looking for a start up with the right mix of possibility and humility. You respect what it takes to have paying customers using your app. You respect what it takes to keep those paying customers. You also believe in dedicating your time to a project that is doing something worthwhile for the world. In short, you share our values.
If you want to be our lead developer, step up and claim it. You’ll be pairing with Pivotal Labs, our development partner, which means great process and learning from the best. From there, it’s up to you to impress with your ability to work well with a team, provide steady guidance, share and communicate solid ideas that move the project forward, and showcase a keen understanding of the vision.
