Ruby on Rails Engineer Job
ZURB is looking for an Ruby on Rails Engineer to join our team.
We just recently launched our first application, Notable, and have had an overwhelmingly positive response. You can see the coverage from Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, MacWorld & PCWorld. Now we're extending our product platform with new products and we're looking for an opportunity-oriented engineer who wants a chance to work on a great team. This is a chance to work on a new product in a start-up environment.
ZURB is an established interaction design and strategy firm who is building a suite of tools that will make a significant improvement in the space. We’re a close-knit team that helps companies design better websites, services, and products online. We’ve been around over 10 years and have over 75 start-ups in our client roster. Our clients range from large, well-known companies (e.g., Photobucket, Zazzle, Facebook, Yahoo, the New York Stock Exchange) to brand-new start-ups just finding their feet (Qik, TinyPic). They all came to us based on our reputation of delivering killer ideas that work.
What are we looking for?
You've got to be a stellar thinker who knows how move from brainstorm to prototype quickly. In a start-up business it all comes down to momentum—how do you release something fast to your customers that works? You have to be comfortable with change and not fall in love with your code. Mistakes are good, rapid iteration is great.
What skills do we need?
As an Engineer, here are some of the things you'll need to know:
- Object Oriented Programming
- RESTfull Application Design
- Ruby on Rails (or be able to pick it up quickly)
- MySQL
- Subversion
Are You In?
If you'd like to be the next ZURBian to join the team, just shoot us an email to jobs@zurb.com and be sure to include the following:
- A catchy subject line
- Your top 3 skills
- Your best teamwork tactic
- Your URL
- Your resume
- Why you want to work at ZURB
Need a reason?
We pride ourselves on having a strong culture and positive atmosphere. We've got 17 reasons to back that up:
- Food. We stock the cabinets with food. Yeah, most of it's full of sugar, but we try to throw in some healthy snacks. Cup o' noodles is still a weakness for some of us though.
- 401k plan. All you have to do is say how much and we do the rest.
- Health insurance. 100% coverage.
- And eye care. We also take care of those eyes.
- And teeth too. We have dental coverage. Got to impress those clients :)
- Cell phone coverage. Can you hear us now?
- Profit sharing. We're a team of entrepreneurial-thinking workers. It's important to us that everyone see the benefits of their hard work.
- Free dry cleaning. Hate dressing up? We've taken the hard work out of putting on the snazzy dress shirt or blouse.
- Free house cleaning. Yep, we think getting stuff done at home is just as important as getting stuff done in the office.
- A growing library. Need a book? Just put it on the wish list and it will be added to the ZURB library.
- 3 weeks vacation. And all those common holidays too. Work hard, play hard.
- Lunches. Now and then we like to order sushi, and if you're working late we don't mind chipping in for dinner.
- Start-ups. Some people go work for start-ups. At ZURB you get to help start start-ups.
- Challenging work. We believe that everyone has a brain to think—we make you use every last brain cell.
- Flex-time. Hey, things come up now and then. What's dental coverage when you don't have time to get those teeth drilled?
- A great team. It's fun to work on great projects, but it's even better to learn something new from a team member.
- A fun work environment. You see this on other company websites, but we are really committed to making work fun.
