Harvest is looking for a Junior Rails Developer to join our 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 making time tracking enjoyable and effortless.

We started as a team of 3 using Rails 0.14. Since then, we've grown to 19 Harvesters, serving thousands of customers from over 150 countries (and yes, we're now on Rails 3). We're a profitable and growing business that is completely self-funded.
