Ideally we'd like a passionate individual who is genuinely interested in our project. The possibility for full-time employment by the end of the year exists, but if that's not your thing, no worries, we won't pressure you into it.

Contact me at mel [at] coupedout [dot] com.

Stealth start-up focused on a consumer finance vertical that's very large like Mint.com's, but distinctly different and, we believe, more interesting / subject to disruption. The initial site/app is nearly completed and we're close to launch. Our non-local lead developer, pursuant to known prior commitment, became CTO at a local (for him) start-up in an unrelated area. We're looking for an experienced rails developer immediately to fill his shoes to take company to launch and beyond. Ideally, this role would lead to co-founder / CTO role. Looking for very strong rails / jQuery / MySQL expertise / experience, test-driven development style and excitement about transforming an industry in a way that helps a lot of people.
