DOBT.co | Full-stack Rails developers Bay Area, Remote OK

The Department of Better Technology is hiring a developer to come help us make software that helps government work better. We've just completed an initial round of funding, and now we need a developer to help us build out Screendoor.io -- our software that makes it easy for government to buy things. Are you the right fit?

You will work with us to build out the Screendoor.io platform. This means you need serious Ruby chops, some knowledge of systems administration, a self-driven work ethic, and a healthy sense of humor. You're going to be part of the founding DNA of this company, so fit and ethic mean a lot to us -- procurement and government isn't for everyone. But for the kind of person who wants to make government work better, and wants to build a great business doing it, we're a fit.
