- Help to recruit and train an awe-inspiring technical team

Requirements:

- Expert in Rails 3.1 and Backbone.js

- Familiar with jQuery Mobile framework

- An insatiable love of all things mobile

Desired: 

- Experience building consumer and/or small business-facing web apps

Why you'll love this gig:

- Take pride in building a product that will touch millions of users

- Work with smart, capable people who get things done

- Competitive salary, and generous stock options

If you're ready to have an absolute blast while making your mark on the world, let's talk.

I landed an interview with a company from one of these threads for an internship they were not advertising. It was a good experience, but in the end I was told that they did not have anything for me. It would have been my first development job and I suspect that they were too early stage to take on someone that was completely entry level like me. And it appears that they're still looking.
