#354ClubCollect has created a service for sports clubs and other organizations to make invoicing of club members a breeze. Invoicing, reminding, online payments: everything is processed via ClubCollect. Since we're entering the German market we're looking for a developer who is proficient in German (speaking & writing). Reason: ability to discuss API interfaces with German developers of external accounting systems and perfecting the localization of ClubCollect.
We're a small team (just eight people), we love remote working but we also like to get together for beers and a great dinner.
ClubCollect is built in Ruby (+ Ruby on Rails) and JavaScript (+ jQuery). We value simplicity, creative solutions, and the ability to get things done. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all areas of our code base.
- B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience (proven ability matters more to us than degrees)
- Fluent in at least one dynamically-typed, object-oriented language (e.g. Ruby, Python)
- Several years experience with a modern web framework such as Rails or Django
@recruiters: please don't contact us, we're not interested.

#355HomeLight is the best way to find a real estate agent to match your unique needs as a home buyer or seller. We use 4 to 5 years of transaction history to objectively rank and showcase agents based on their areas of expertise. Think the skills/knowledge to buy a condo in SoMa is different than those needed to sell a single family home in Noe Valley. We know who does each of those things best.
We're looking to hire our 3rd engineer. We're have a Ruby/Rails stack running on Heroku with a Postgres DB and Redis cache. We've got a lot of product work, greenfield development (sinatra? React? Backbone? Let's talk about it!), algorithm, API, etc. work to do and we need to hire an experienced full stack developer to help us out.
Feel free to reach out to me directly (email in profile) and let's talk about how we can work together.

#356We develop our applications using a modular approach on both the frontend and backend, using a modern, mostly open source JavaScript based stack: CouchDB, Node, Engine.io, Backbone, and responsive design.
Our frontend is based heavily on Atomic Design and Development, using an open source library we built called Atomify. We optimize for developer happiness and eliminate as many barriers to getting things on production as we can: we don't have any build steps, we have a live reloading component development workflow, and we have tests that run as you write your code.
Most of our apps are very frontend heavy, but our backend is all realtime. We share model code between the server and the client to make interacting with our data easy.
At the end of the day though, none of that is what makes us get out of bed in the morning. It all comes down to creating great feeling interactions to help our users get their jobs done.
Day to Day:
- Participate in the team's direction and come up with new ideas - Build modules for both the frontend and backend. We embrace open source and modularized development - Participate in and contribute to product discussions
Requirements:
- Have a passion for building easy to use apps for underserved users - Love to write small, well tested components that can be reused in many contexts - Have experience working on large JS codebases with a team of other highly skilled engineers - Be able to work on both the frontend and the backend - it's all JS
We provide:
- Meaningful equity - Better than average health plans - Backed by industry leading VCs - Opportunities to grow as a leader or individual contributor - Fun and smart coworkers
Sound like a good deal to you? Send an email to our CTO at daniel@getable.com
