Posted about 1 month ago at 21 January 2012

Description:

We are looking for another skilled web developer to join our talented and enthusiastic team.

We are a fast-paced and energetic company with big ambitions, great ideas and a focus on building awesome web based products. We have an agile approach to development and are looking for a skilled and enthusiastic developer to join us on our journey.

We currently have two exciting SaaS based products (Rusic and ContactZilla) that we are looking to accelerate the development of and take to a wide market. You will play an active role in their development and be an integral part of the companies success.

The tech we are using for our products includes Ruby/Rails, PHP (Zend), JS/CoffeeScript, Node.js, MySQL, Mongo, Redis, Chef/Vagrant and cloud based services and more! So, you will need to be looking for a position that is challenging where you want to stay at the cutting edge and not shy away from a challenge!

We also undertake some more traditional application and website development work for our clients. Solutions involve WordPress, Drupal, Magento and custom builds but we try to spread work out throughout the team and rotate projects to keep the mind fresh!

We work normal office hours but it’s quite common for the team to be hacking away on something cool gone home time… you will need to be of the same developer mentality. Whilst we all work hard, we like to rewards ourselves when we hit our targets, this is normally in the form of some random fun activity out of the office.

We’re looking for a unique web application developer that understands the importance of good engineering solutions above all else, takes pride in what they deliver and enjoys being an active part of a hard working and smart team.
