software engineer

We're looking for programmers who love to learn and love building cool products. We don't care if you have 10 years of experience or are fresh out of school. If you love to build stuff and work hard, can communicate well, and have a personality that fits in with ours, we'd love to meet you.

Our development philosophy is to work in small teams of one to two people who can do everything from front-end to back-end. You should either have those skills or be dying to learn them.

required skills

  • Ruby on Rails is preferred, but we'll take PHP or Java developers who know MVC frameworks
  • Experience with MySQL
  • HTML, Javascript, and CSS
  • Knowledge of the Linux operating system

Interested candidates should submit a code sample as well as a resume. Also, answering our design challenge will ensure your resume will be read.
