Action Verb is looking to hire a full-time Lead Ruby/Rails Developer to take over the primary development lead responsibility for our product BrickFTP (http://brickftp.com/) as well as Rails development responsibilities on our other products (both existing and in development).
This is a full-time, work-from-home, choose-your-own-hours position.
[NO RECRUITERS, NO PHONE CALLS, PLEASE.]
Action Verb's Story
Action Verb is a bootstrapped, profitable company founded in 2007. Action Verb offers two main products: BrickFTP, a hosted file sharing service for business, and Vae Platform, a unique web hosting platform with an integrated SaaS CMS system. Our SaaS services have several hundred paying customers and a total userbase of about 7,000 users.
We're a small company (you'll be the 4th person on the team when you join) but we're at an inflection point where we're trying t! o grow into a more robust team.
Here's where you come in.
Up until now, Kevin, the founder of the company has been the lead engineer on all of our applications. We are now looking to build out an engineering team so that we may develop and improve our products more quickly. The first step of our search is to find an engineering lead for each of our major products to take an ownership role of the development side (but not the marketing/bizdev) side of the product.
You'll be responsible for:
- Shaping (with management) the direction of the product -- determining which features to include, what to release when, etc.
- Becoming familiar with customer feedback
- Implementation and testing (i.e. actually getting your hands dirty with Ruby code)
- Performance Tuning
- Working with Customer Support to address any technical issues faced by customers
Basically, you'll be in charge of taking BrickFTP to the! next level.
What is BrickFTP?
BrickFTP is our hosted file sharing server for businesses. Go watch our video at http://brickftp.com/ and sign up for a free trial to learn more about the product.
BrickFTP has been around since 2009 and has thousands of active users and hundreds of paying customers.
We obsess over our interface. While the results are what keep a customer, the beauty and simplicity of the interface are what get them hooked in the first place.
We’re built on Rails 3, and use DataMapper, Resque, Haml, Sass, jQuery, Memcached, and Git. We host everything on an internally managed server stack on Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS.
We use Mac OS and vim for development, but you’re free to use whatever you’d like. We run Linux (Ubuntu) on our servers.
We have Continuous Integration, a full staging environment, and almost 1! 00% test coverage.
