#Tools Engineer
CrowdFlower is funded, growing, and, frankly, where the action is at in San Francisco. As our client base continues to grow, we need you to make sure their projects go smoothly.
Startup: You're able to learn quickly, design creative solutions, and work independently.
People: As a tools engineer you’ll work with lots of people—both technical and non-technical.
Ruby: We’re a Ruby shop, you should be familiar, but Python is legit as well.
HTML / CSS: When designing custom tasks for our clients, some hand written HTML components will be needed.
JavaScript: You should be handy with JavaScript and the DOM. You'll be using MooTools to create sweet custom interfaces for clients as needed. Although we're a MooTools shop any framework experience is fine.
Recap: You must either be a badass in Ruby, or a badass in JavaScript + DOM, preferably both.
Apples: You are a member of the cult of Mac. You will be issued a brand new Mac Book Pro and be expected to poke fun at anyone using Windows.
Side projects: You have a pet project that you've open sourced and enjoy hacking on.
Crowdsourcing: You’ve played with Mechanical Turk.
Hover boards: You own at least one and will let us use it.
Humor: You have a sense of it. ;)
We're looking for a solid engineer who has the people skills to be on the front lines with our customers and advocate for them. Build tools to help our customers integrate with our APIs and manipulate data coming in and out of our system. We also need your help tweaking the interface on CrowdFlower.com and on individual tasks for our growing list of clients.
We get work done. Work that usually takes less than a minute for any lay person to complete. We have created a number of tools that make it easier to both create, perform and analyze this work. CrowdFlower was founded by myself Chris Van Pelt, and Lukas Biewald. There are thousands of people around the world working for us, 26 of us here in San Francisco. We're funded and generate revenue.
