Ruby on Rails Developer

We’re looking for passionate developers who want to be a part of a lively, social work environment and who care about being invested in the product they’re creating, working with the latest web technologies, and want to get in on the ground floor of a growing tech team.

About you:

• You’re a developer who's had experience architecting and building cool apps using Ruby on Rails
• You live by Lean/Agile/XP, and love beautiful code and TDD 
• You’re interested in RESTful APIs, algorithms, machine learning, mobile, and smart new technologies
• You want to be part of a dedicated team that brings passion to everything we do

About us:

• We work out of an open-plan office in the heart of Soho, New York: http://flavorpill.tumblr.com/about
• We work hard, have fun, and have amazingly talented people: http://flavorpill.tumblr.com/staff
• We don’t just talk about culture, we DO it - museums, gallery openings, theatre, film - getting out to experience the city we live in
• We enjoy the amazing benefits and perks that come with being a part of the Flavorpill team

About how we work:

• We love creating things that work, using continuous deployment, building robust systems which know how to scale, and solving problems other people can’t
• Our new product team is a small, growing team of awesome developers, front-end devs, and UI/UX designers
• We love beautiful design and beautiful code
• We’re an Agile/XP shop, and are dedicated fans of the Lean Startup methodologies

About what we’re working on:

• We’re creating the go-to discovery engine for culture - a social tool that helps users find the best culture events happening around them
• We have formed a startup product group within Flavorpill to launch this new tool that will become the next generation of Flavorpill
• Our "startup" is different from others in that we are funded entirely by a profitable company, we have a well known and respected brand, we have quality cultural event content from more than 10 cities to feed the system, and we have more than enough core users to test and grow the product: an engaged base of over 1M uniques monthly

Technologies we love:

• Ruby on Rails 3.1/Edge
• HTML5, CSS3, Javascript (as .haml, .sass, .coffee)
