Rails Developer in Houston, TX

Ruby / Rails / Web Developer

Who we are

We are a fresh, revolutionary marketing agency in Houston, TX directed at entrepreneurs and the small & medium size business industry. We provide all the high-end design services, printed materials and web development services from a top marketing agency at a very affordable price. What we deliver gives our clients the edge to position their brand, business and products at the top level of their playing field.

Who we are looking for

We are developing a number of internal and external facing services and we have a number of positions open in our web department. However, this specific job listing is aimed at helping us locate a talented Ruby developer who wants to take charge. We are a growing company with lots of room for growth - so your sky is literally the limit.

As a developer, you should feel comfortable in the entire stack of an application: Ruby, Database, Haml, Sass, JavaScript, etc. Specifically, we need you to have a strong background in Ruby as well as Ruby on Rails development. Having a solid understanding of consuming/building APIs, Javascript-heavy clients, and Mobile applications would be a nice plus.

We are looking for developers who love what they do. Sure it's a job, but we are a well funded, growing company with lots of room for you to grow. We encourage you to aim high and we have the resources available to help you get there.

What you will do

A few things you can expect to take charge of as a part of our team.

  • Develop advanced web applications and services using Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
  • Craft software using the highest standards
  • Use and contribute to Open Source
  • Be a part of a culture of learning and continuous improvement
  • Collaborate with clients, product owners and developers to solve real business problems
  • Support and improve development/production infrastructure (continuous integration, deployment, testing)

Bonus Skills

  • Sinatra
  • JavaScript / jQuery
  • MySQL / MongoDB / Redis
  • Heroku + Amazon Web Services (EC2/S3)
  • Server admin skills
  • Scaling (architecture/databases/memcache/CDN)
  • Mobile web development (iPhone/Android/etc.)

How we hire

  • Include your github username (required)
  • Include your resume if your github account doesn't speak for itself
  • Regardless, we will want to meet in person and work with you first
  • We will want to spend some time pairing with you (pairing is a part of our process)
  • If you aren't located here in Houston, TX we are more than happy to meet with you

Ideally we are looking for someone in the Houston, TX area to join our team. If relocation isn't an option, we can work on getting you settled into the team first and then work on getting you moved to the great state of Texas. We do have options for remote team members, but obviously you will miss the fun and culture of our fantastic team, and that would be a bummer for both of us.

  • Great pay!
  • Relocation options
