We’re looking for
someone that not only loves Rails, but also has a desire to understand the inner
workings and underpinnings of the framework. Design driven development is what
we aspire to and BDD is our focus. Our projects move at a fast pace, and
Cucumber and Rspec help keep us honest. We work hard but we don’t take
ourselves too seriously, so be prepared to write a lot of code while sipping
whatever is in the keg this week.
