Come work with me!

I'm looking for some Ruby/JS/web development people to come work with me at Jibe!

What do we do?

At Jibe, we provide tools and applications to help our clients distribute their message to more job seekers, and provide solutions to help their prospective employees navigate the application process with ease.

What do I do?

I work on a platform that enables recruiters at large companies to easily list positions they're trying to fill on the job boards that will attract the best candidates.

Who am I looking for?

I'm looking for someone cool with experience or the ability to speak intelligently about a majority of the following things:

  • Scraping: We glue together systems that don't always have APIs. A lack of an API doesn't stop us.
  • Browser automation: The other half of a "make your own API!" mentality.
  • DVCSs: We use git.
  • UNIX: UNIX is awesome. Shell scripting is cool, too.
  • Functional programming style: Some of us are always suggesting Erlang for everything, but in reality we just apply a good dose of FP style to our Ruby and JS code.

Ruby

  • Modules and composition: We compose a lot of separate functionality, so we do a lot of includeing and extending.
  • Metaprogramming: You'll run into some funky stuff here and there. It might be that a cornerstone of our code relies on extending Class. We don't overdo it, though—promise.

JavaScript

  • AMD and node.js modules: We put our JS together cleanly.
  • Promises: We like intelligible asynchronicity.
  • Bookmarklets: Sometimes the main entry point to our code is a little script injected into someone else's page.
  • The DOM: Don't worry, we use DOM manipulation libraries most of the time. But sometimes those just aren't sufficient. It's rare, though, honest.

Specific technologies / miscellaneous buzzwords

  • MongoDB: Most of our data is stored in Mongo. Mongo query wizardry is definitely a plus.
  • Redis
  • SQL: I interact lightly with MySQL, but I don't do much implementation-specific stuff.
  • Go: Yes, we have some Go in production.
  • cujoJS
  • Capybara
  • PhantomJS: We often use it by way of CasperJS.

Does this sound like you?

Get in touch! Send me an email at adam@jibe.com, tweet me at @jugglewheels, send an IPoAC datagram to our NYC office—whatever, just get in touch!
