Sr. Ruby on Rails Developer :)

CrystalCommerce — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:09:13 GMT

Greetings fellow Ruby Enthusiasts!

Here are some facts: You are a talented Ruby on Rails Developer, and you have your choice of where you want to work. We have a hot product, significant (and growing) revenues and *wait for it* PROFITS. Among the diverse and numerous opportunities you have before you, ours is somewhat unique.

What you'll need: You need to have a strong & diverse technical background, a desire to hit the ground running, a passion for hacking, and a positive attitude. You might be a good fit for our team if you're a passionate self-starter, and you love solving challenging problems with your mental super-powers.

What we do: <sales> Turbo-charged Multi-Channel eCommerce. Our tools help retailers across the country sell smarter; in their stores, and simultaneously online. Our RoR platform powers our client's direct retail websites, their in-store Point of Sale (an HTML5 modular service), all-the-while syndicating their real-time inventory into every major sales marketplace (eBay, Amazon, specialized marketplaces, et al). Awww yeah. All incoming orders are instantly routed back into the client's Admin for high-speed processing/fulfillment. We create significant competitive advantages for our clients, the bigger the better. We're focusing on a few niche market rights now (Retailers selling new and used collectibles). We are building out our platform, and we're very excited about our future. </sales>

If you enjoy using brains and tools to solve hard problems, then join us. If you love challenges, join us. If you want to finally work for a company you can be passionate about, join us!

Seriously, why work here:

You want to lead a talented dev team, or you want to contribute in a meaningful, multi-faceted way.
You realize that the larger the dev team, the more you're likely to work on the same small/non-critical/non-interesting area of the code base FOREVER ... and you'd prefer to have some interesting variety in your day-to-day dev work.
You want to be treated well, and compensated well
You're looking for an exciting change of pace, with fun colleagues, solving important real-world problems facing retailers world-wide.
You're looking for a company with significant long-term growth potential.
You aren't looking to work at another crappy "built-to-flip"Get-Rich-Quick-Scheme of a startup that just wants to work you to death. Bleh. Yuck. NO WAY.
Innumerable Benefits, Equity, Potential Relocation Cost Reimbursement.

We hope you'll consider applying to join our talented development team!

Also, we have a fully stocked open company bar ... no one has been cut off yet, so you know you want to say "Challenge Accepted!" :-P

P.P.S We bootstrapped this B, so this isn't investor money we're burning here ... did I mention we were profitable?!? We're looking to grow our dev team, keep kicking butt, keep delighting clients, and buy that company boat we've had our eyes on.
