Ruby Developer | Charlie (an early-stage, funded startup) | Chicago, IL

We're looking for a developer who's sort of a bad-ass. Can you think up mind-blowing solutions to complex, hairy problems? Do you get excited by things like graph databases and machine learning? We want someone who can move fast, think creatively, and deliver quality/tested code. Is this you? Have at least a couple years of professional experience writing code. Take a small risk and join us in building a growth business.

Who are we? Before any meeting, Charlie automatically researches people before you see them. Researching people is a complex problem: we sift through, analyze, and manipulate data into powerful insights (i.e. what are they passionate about, what do you have in common?). CNBC called us “One of the world’s most promising new companies” and SXSW selected us as an Accelerator Finalist.

We’ve built Charlie to research people at massive scale, using the latest Ruby on Rails stack with MongoDB, Redis, Sidekiq, and hosted in an elastic cloud farm. We write code with agility and have a tight process where anyone on the team can deploy to production at any time, without approval. We thoroughly test our code, though we’re not strict TDD. We're a small dev that loves to code, and constantly pushes, and learns from each other.

This is your opportunity to join an early-stage company that’s making moves.

Bonanza.com. Seattle, WA. http://www.bonanza.com

Full-Stack Rails Developer

We're looking for a full time, full stack Ruby on Rails developer to continually improve the user interface, performance, feel, and other aspects of our site to make our customers happier, save time, and have more fun buying and selling on Bonanza.com.

We’ve already built Bonanza into a leading person-to-person marketplace, but we'll never stop making it even better. Some things you’ll be responsible for might include:

* Fix bugs reported by customers and the dev team * Implement new features as needed * Learn and grow your skills under the guidance of world-class Rails coders on our dev team * Use the website regularly and contribute your own suggestions on how we can make it better

Requirements

We strongly prefer that you have some Ruby on Rails experience in a production environment. You’ll be working in the full stack, from the mysql database up to jQuery and HTML/CSS. You should be comfortable receiving sometimes-vague bug reports, and having the doggedness to track down repro steps and make an appropriate fix. You should have the empathy to see problems from our customers’ perspectives and keep their needs in mind while building solutions. An innate sense of good UX design would be super helpful in this position.

Because we’re a small and close-knit team, attitude is a critical element in our selection process. The ideal candidate will be able to speak both "geek" and "human," and will approach problems with a "can-do" attitude.

Note: If you're not currently located in the Seattle area, we're open to working remotely with a strong candidate.

Benefits

In addition to a very competitive salary, Bonanza offers the following perks:

* "Work from home Wednesday" - every Wednesday we get to work from home, coffee shops, or wherever suits us (remote staff can work from home every day!) * "Freedom February" - every February we retreat from the gloom of Seattle and work from a remote tropical locale. So far we've been to Costa Rica and Oahu. Next year we're eyeing Nicaragua. * Fast growing (averaged 50-100% yearly growth over 5 years), and already-profitable company. It's fun to work for a winner. * Work from a waterfront office in downtown Seattle (food trucks aplenty!) * Full arcade room in the office * Pong table on site * All employees get fully paid health insurance coverage, vacation benefits, holidays, stock options, and more.
