I am looking for a Web developer to help with CommunityGoals. This is a great opportunity for a motivated developer to join me to accelerate the development of an innovative and meaningful project.
- Solid Ruby skills are essential. As a rule of thumb, I’m looking for a year or more of experience. That said, your current skill level and ability to write solid code is way more important than an arbitrary experience requirement.
- Rails experience is important. However, it looks like the next major release will be on a Merb + DataMapper + jQuery stack. Other important technologies include git and RSpec.
- This will be a 2 month contract position that may be extended if things go well.
- I *am* looking for a developer who wants to join a very small company and grow with it.
- I am *not* seeking bids from Rails consulting shops, for two reasons. First, I don’t see most consulting shops as having a good alignment with my mission. Second, I want to build up internal expertise.
- I prefer 40 hours/week of availability.
- I am only considering candidates in the DC area. The highest bandwidth communication happens in person. I have an office in Dupont Circle with room for you.
If you are interested, please email job-080613 (at this domain) with this information:
- A resume (or similar) listing your experience and skills
- Links to your projects (i.e. Web applications, open source projects, or blog)
- Any comments you have (good and bad) about CommunityGoals
Compensation will depend on experience, skills, and your ability to deliver high-quality, tested code.
