LifeSnapz, Inc.: Senior Rails Developer

Logo

Location: Chicago, IL

LifeSnapz is a venture-funded company looking for an experienced senior developer to be a key team member to help build a world class web service.

What we are looking for:

  • You have initiative and an entrepreneurial spirit
  • You can solve problems, generate ideas and develop innovative concepts within a small team
  • You like learning new stuff, get excited by new APIs, and have way too many feeds to read
  • "Can’t be done" is not in your vocabulary

Ideally we’re looking for an experienced Rails developer with at least a couple of deployed applications. Either that or you’re very experienced with OOP/MVC (and a bunch of other important acronyms!).

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • Creating a new type of application that will launch to a global audience
  • Writing Ruby, JavaScript, and SQL code
  • Testing, testing, and doing some more testing
  • Making sure our Rails app scales nicely
  • Learning and using a bunch of external APIs and backend helper apps
  • Working with someone who has Rails commit access (Geoff Buesing, a LifeSnapz co-founder)

We provide a fun work environment, whatever tech you need to do your job, a competitive salary, stock options, and great health benefits. We are experienced entrepreneurs and developers, most recently as founders of ShopLocal, the largest local shopping network on the web.
