Ruby Developer Job Opening at NYC Startup

Company: Give Real
Location: New York, NY
URL: http://www.givereal.com

We are looking to fill one app developer position on our team as soon as possible. It’s a 3 month contract, with a view towards permanent employment.

We are funded by a successful technology entrepreneur, who sold his most recent company to Yahoo! last year, and will be working alongside him incubator-style in our New York office. Our young company is developing a cutting-edge Web 2.0 service in the consumer finance space (specifically a new platform for online gift giving—we’ll elaborate more in our discussion with you).

- The Gig -

The job will entail Ruby on Rails and Java programming. Additionally, experience with the Facebook platform and web design skills are a plus. We’re also interested in finding the right personality fit, so aptitude and enthusiasm are more important than anything else—we are an early stage startup, so our next few team members will help us define the DNA of our rapidly growing company.

- The People -

You will be joining a small, tight-knit team consisting of:

• a Rails developer and financial engineer

• an apprentice Rails developer/ web developer

• a graphic designer/web designer

• an experienced business development/marketing guru

Given the type of work we do, you should be into social networks and have an appetite for risk-taking with the potential to disrupt a massive industry (but you will also be paid a reasonable salary in addition to an options package)

- The Location -

We are based in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan. You must be willing to live here in New York or travel here during the week, at least until we get to know each other and are comfortable with alternative arrangements.
