Hi there! Harvest is looking for two junior Rails developers to join our development team.
About Harvest!
Harvest is one of the earliest Rails applications designed for businesses. We took a rather boring and painful problem â€" time tracking â€" and applied our expertise in design & technology. We're trying to make time tracking enjoyable, and possibly even sexy.
We started as a team of 3, using Rails 0.14.1, and today we're a team of 19, serving thousands of customers from over 150 countries (and, yes, we're now on Rails 3). We're a small, profitable, and growing business that is completely self-funded.

Now, About You:
You'll be joining a team of 7 stellar developers, working on a popular web application that powers some of the coolest businesses out there. Here's a glimpse of Harvest's development process that you will be a part of:
You should have a strong foundation in computer science and some experience with Ruby & Rails. You are smart, curious, and eager to learn (you're going to learn a lot here at Harvest). And you're expected to fit in with our team as an honest, responsible, and humble person with a sense of humor.
Some of the Things You Might Work O! n:
- !
- Recreate bugs and unexpected behavior in our test suite, then fix the problem with our development team. Communicate the problem and solution back to our customers.
- Refactor complex business logic to take advantage of new technologies and techniques. For example, our report generation and export just went from a tmpfile on disk to streaming output from our Rails daemons.
- Collaborate with our interaction designers and front end folks on a better first-time user experience, then make it happen.
- Brainstorm exciting possibilities for 3rd party APIs, everything from financial tools to support dashboards and the newest Google APIs.
- Move a small codebase over to a new technology like Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2, jQuery, HTML5, or CouchDB then report back to our team on the best tips and tricks.
Job Perks:
- Work that is meaningful,! challenging and fun.
- A Mac of your choice + GeekDesk (standing desk) at our beautiful Soho office.
- Excellent coffee (Coava, Madcap, Intelligentsia...).
- All the basics: good salary, 100% health benefits, etc.
- Promise: no political B.S., cubicles, or TPS reports.
