Six to Start - London, UK

http://www.zombiesrungame.com

-----------------------------

We're an indie game developer based in London, and our flagship title is Zombies, Run!, a running game and audio adventure that melds GPS and accelerometer data with an epic story and fantastic gameplay. With 500,000 sales across iOS and Android and a pricetag from $3.99 to $7.99, it's the most successful smartphone fitness game in the world - and it's been nominated for awards by Develop, the Design Museum, SXSW, and more.

We want an Android developer who can help make our games - including Zombies, Run! and a new project with the Department of Health - even better and even more polished by using the latest software and hardware features in Android 4.0. And we want someone who can help think up and create entirely new game concepts that use smartphones, tablets, and other wearable devices and computers in novel ways.

In other words, we want your help to make the games of the future.

Why we're different: we get emails every day from people whose lives we’ve improved with our games - people who’ve lost weight, become healthier, and gained confidence. There’s nothing like knowing that your work is valued by hundreds of thousands and is doing good in the world.

Gamaroff - London, UK

http://jobs.gamaroff.com/

Gamaroff is a primarily Rails development house working on desktop and mobile apps for large international brands and agencies.

We're looking for skilled full-stack developers who are smart and interested with using as much new cool tech as they possibly can. Whilst we primarily use Rails, we have also been known to dabble in Node, Lua, Go and an assortment of other languages on a per-project basis. From a front-end point of view, we use CoffeeScript, SASS/Less/Stylus and a cornucopia of frontend frameworks on a per-project basis.

Every Friday afternoon is dedicated to trying out new tools and software, and we're constantly encouraging developers to learn and experiment.

We have a lot of really fun stuff going on right now and we're looking to expand rapidly both in London and later this year in the US. Either get in contact through the jobs site above, or you can email me directly: josh@gamaroff.com. We can assist with relocation if we think you're a perfect fit.

Rentify - London, UK, Software Engineer (ruby on rails)

Listen, I don't want to bore you. You should know a few things about us before we begin.

1. We're a small tight-knit team that wants to change how rentals are done. The rental industry is old, antiquated, and ready for a push. We think we have the right recipe, and so does Balderton Capital, who invested in us for our Series A.

2. We don't do deadlines, or assign your day to day work to you, or tell you how to get it done, or make your decisions. You're smart, professional. You already know how to build software so you don't need us to tell you. Of course, we don't mind helping if you get stuck. Read more about it here: http://engineering.rentify.com/post/47385480838/in-engineers...

3. We're all hungry for success.

Okay, now for the normal stuff:

## Responsibilities:

- Lead by example - by writing good code, talking about good code, and then drinking beers with the team about all the good code that was written

- Design and development of new product features and enhancements

- Communicate with non-engineers to define requirements and deliverables

- Know what technologies are out there in case you need to use them

- Periodically teach your co-workers all the great stuff you learned via tech talks, brown bags, blogs, or open source

## Requirements:

- You ideally have Ruby on Rails experience. (We'll still talk to you if you've done something with Django or node.js)

- You want to work in a startup (a.k.a. a place that works hard and plays hard)

- You feel comforted when you write a good unit test

- You must have a Bachelor's knowledge level of computer science via education or experience

- You know when to use Postgres/Mysql vs Mongodb/Redis

- You understand the full stack (servers, RoR, javascript/css/html)

- You have to be able to travel to central London every day

## Perks:

- Unlimited vacation

- Equity in Rentify

- Food and drinks available in the office 24/7

- Feel free to crush your co-workers on our N64 and pool table. We're probably going to build a nap room too because I need a snooze once in a while.

- We provide whatever tools you need to succeed like the latest hardware and educational material

- Be a part of a collaborative team that sits in an open environment (read: no politics) who previously worked at companies like Eventbrite, Google, and Apple

To apply, send a CV + github over to jobs@rentify.com

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/ --------------------------------------- We are a small team of software craftsmen (10 of us right now) passionate about making people's lives better through software. A little bit about us: - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we're more concerned with using the rig…

7 out of 9 people in your team wear glasses. Why? I don't know a percentage but isn't that really skewed?

It's actually higher than that…Ross is wearing glasses right now, but he doesn't have them on in his picture.

We also have a new hire who isn't on the site yet who wears glasses.
