Jobster looking for lots of Rails developers
Posted by marcel April 20, 2006 @ 05:05 PM
Jobster is buying into Rails big time. Over the next few months they are looking to hire no fewer than 10 developers. Those over in the Getting Real camp may cringe at the idea of bulking up your team so quickly, but Jobster CEO Jason Goldberg aims to keep things small and nimble:One of the cool things we have done at jobster (we think) is to foster small teams which take on big projects in rapid cycles. Rails makes that possible. With 12 more devs, for instance, we would spin up 4 significant projects.So far Rails has indeed proven to be a great fit.
A team of three engineers tasked with prototyping a compelling consumer product in one month. They where given complete freedom to do what they wanted, and to build on top of whatever technology they chose. They chose ruby on rails, completed a successful prototype that will be pushed to our live site shortly. It was so successful that rails will be the technology that all our new consumer features will be built on.Maybe being on one of these teams sounds like a good fit for you. Check out what they are looking for.
Undisclosed updates / edits on timestamped posts are not cool. Very not cool.
In other news, are you sure you want rails to go mainstream?
Task is not a verb!
I am one of the three devs working on this Rails project at Jobster. We have a great engineering culture here and we fully subscribe to the “small teams doing big things�? philosophy. Email me if you want to chat about our project or Jobster.
Probably need my email if you want to talk to me :) “ray ‘at’ jobster.com”
Hi, Marcel!
I’m abit lost here. Yesterday I saw a nice comment from Dennis S. at Cris Dias and linked his URL but, it’s not really a blog is it? Or he blogs here with you? Please, enlight me…
And if he has his own blog, I’m sorry I bothered you :)
Cheers!
Alice – just because task isn’t a verb doesn’t mean it can’t be used in a verbial clause and therefore context.
If there was such a thing as “Getting Real Grammar” it’d have to be Functional Grammar, which I suggest you shop ;-)
Hi,
I’m the CTO at Jobster and was one the early advocates for Rails here, with my advocacy growing as I gained experience in the framework.
If you’d like to get more of a feel for what the developers at Jobster are like, you can check out http://labs.jobster.com/, which is an aggregation of all of the blogs by Jobster developers, and also http://labs.jobster.com/jobs.html, which describes the jobs in more detail.
