WHO WE ARE
Hello.
We are Serious Business [ http://www.seriousbusiness.com ], and we build fun games.
We are the home of "Friends for Sale", the #1 social game in the world (10M users, 300M page views per month), running on Rails, but we’re just getting started.
If you are interested in joining some of the world’s leading experts in virality, game design, social design, scalable infrastructure, and distributed data processing, then let’s talk. We have an extremely talented team, ranging from small startups to Google, from experienced entrepreneurs to engineers just out of school. The one thing we have in common is a passion to engage millions of people every day, and a focus on engineering excellence.
