We're still growing, and looking for another programmer to join our team
in sunny San Diego.
We produce an education system for the Spanish-speaking market. We're
currently in Mexico, Spain, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia and
expanding rapidly.
We're an established company with 20% growth for the last 10 years
in a row. Consequently, we're outgrowing our original (PHP-based) IT
systems so there's a heap of cool problems to solve as we implement new
solutions (in Rails).
We use best of breed tools like git, github, lighthouse, nginx,
passenger, Ubuntu LTS and of course Rails. We have great chairs, new OSX
workstations, and end-to-end ownership of new features and development.
We've got an innovative CTO with great opportunities for new directions
and technologies. Including 10% time every Friday afternoon where you
work on whatever you want.
We're located in Bonita, San Diego and this is a 100% on-site role.
You:
* Love working with Rails.
* Can tolerate maintaining some ugly PHP.
* Get very frustrated maintaining ugly PHP, so work hard to replace it with Rails.
* Have a good understanding of web technologies, protocols, programming concepts.
* Want to be part of a great team, working with great people and tools.
* LOVE developing applications, and you're mostly self-taught.
* Have an active github account.
* Understand and practice good programming like DRY, and ideally you consider "Getting Real" to be sort of biblical.
* Want to be part of a company where, for reasons I'm still fathoming, people are just nice all the time.
* Might already know Spanish.
* Are happy to work in Bonita, San Diego (this is an on-site-only role).
Sounds like you? Apply.
Include some sample code that you're proud of (if you link me to your
github account without telling me what to look at, then you fail) - and
tell me *why* you're proud of it.
