Are you a
Ruby and Rails fan? This MacBook could be yours!
How?
Come
and work with us! Why not? Think about it: you program the application
that powers festivals like Sonar, GABS and Lollapalooza, and then you
get to go to them for free! If you are nice and play well, you might
even get a trackpad.
Why?
Because we are
growing and our small team can no longer go without holidays. They are
becoming thin and pale and ugly, like very smart and hard-working
zombies.
Requirements
Are you….
- Good? Do you like helping people just because it feels great in that appendage to the left of your chest?
- Curious? Do you question everything? Is why your favourite word alongside Ruby? Has it gotten you into trouble?
- Old? In
body or spirit? Have you been proven wrong more times that you can
count? Have you made mistakes so big you thought your career was over?
- Pragmatic? Do you make things work first, and think about acronyms %w[LOC SOLID REST CRUD DRY] later? Do you write code first, then test?
- Funny? Even if its only you that seems to think so?
- Humble? Have you ever called yourself a ninja? Then no, you are not.
Are you looking for…
- Responsibility: Do
you want to feel the excitement of deploying your code days after
completion? Do you want to say proudly that this or that mistake was
your fault and be eager to fix it?
- Freedom: Do
you want to make your own hours? (metaphor for we will squeeze the life
out of you). Work from anywhere? Call your boss a moron?
- Challenges: Festivals
evolve just as quick as technology does. Can you guess what technology
will be the one to evolve them for the better? Which one will change
even the concept of “going to a festival”? We can…
- Good times: lets
face it, between programming for NASA or your cousins shop, code is
code. But we would all chose NASA. We don’t offer space travel, but we
do offer the next best thing: Music Festivals.
- A brand new Mac: Well, you have read this far…
Do you know about…
This Mac does not come for free (we tried), we must insist that you wait until you cover at least 3 of the items in this list.
- Ruby: This is a must, we work with ruby, why don’t you?
- Rails: Again, If you don’t know rails, you are not our friend.
- SQL: we work with Postgres, but any SQLesque will do.
- Javascript: We know, we know. Which one? Well… React. But if you are who we want you to be, you will think you could change our minds.
- Sys Ops: Amazon EC2, RDS, EBS, VPCs. Docker, Capistrano, Redis… But we are eager to change to something better and that will make us look cooler in the next ruby convention.
And when we say “cover” we mean that you have proven experience (+3 years) in them, that you have an interface to show for it (yes, we want to see interfaces first, then code), and that it is in production, working, and being used.
We
are very glad that you have all these folders with rails apps ready to
go, but unless they are being used by someone. We. Don't. Care.
We
want you to have had to argue your way to a design with other
programmers, that you have had to do the best with what was given, not
to see how your 3 LOC sorter algorithm works.
That means Gems, contributions, teamwork, compromise, going bald, hating the world and eventually, the sweet release of early retirement.
Do you like…
It
is all very well and good that you came this far, it means you cover at
least 3 of the Experience section points, and that you don’t think we
are total morons.
But that MacBook would be even closer if, on top of that, you could for example:
- Design: Maybe
you have a photoshop genius inside? Maybe you just love beautiful
things. Either way, we have no idea what you are talking about, and that
is why we need you!
- UX: See where this is
going? Yes, we want you to know about the journey of the actual user,
the real one. We want you to ask, and then to apply that knowledge to
improve the lives of people.
- QA: Have you ever worked as a QA engineer? We like you already.
- Testing: Are you a testing fanatic? Rspec and capybara are our weapons. Can you improve on them? Do you know how the hell is Javascript tested properly? We don’t
If
you think this was all a joke, that we don’t take things seriously
enough or didn’t understand all the Apple references, stop here.
If
you know exactly what we are talking about, if you feel represented by
(some of) these qualities, and if you think of both Denis Ritchie and Steve Jobs as gods, if you think programmers are supposed to make complex things simple, come talk to us.
