We’re looking for people who can (and love to) develop elegant web applications using Ruby on Rails.

What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be a cherished member of one or more small, focused teams building web apps that aim to delight (while actually being useful).

What we’re looking for:
a yearnin' to build great things, take ownership, and share credit.

Working examples of applications for which you played a significant part in shaping (and most definitely yes, that includes open source work)

An ability to communicate really well with other team members & non-techies

About you:
Send us your contact info, pointers to stuff you’ve done (code samples would be nice), and anything else you can think of that’d help us figure out if we should work together.

About us:
DLI is a NYC-based business (located on the Northern edge of the Financial District) that develops and delivers Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) products both for ourselves and select clients.

We’ve got a slew of projects and apps in the ‘Labs now and on the horizon.

We’re also awfully deep into the online media world.

Scribemedia is the media development and strategy arm of DLI. Maybe you’ve already enjoyed some of our wicked cool productions and pithy commentary?

We’re open to working with freelancers local to NYC. You will be working in-office initially.

Note that we pay reliably and are accustomed to (and spoiled by) working with some of the best.

Solid working knowledge of:
Both the Ruby language and the Rails framework

RESTfulness – how to build and use APIs using REST

SCMs, specifically Mercurial (Hg) and Subversion

Capistrano (and deployment in general)

Would be nice, too:
Agile methods, like Scrum, XP, aspects of Getting Real (37s), etc.

OpenID and related technologies

Real-world, judicious use of AJAX

Javascript-Fu

Flash, Flex, and Honey-baked Ham

Crafting standards-compliant and clean XHTML and CSS

Creativity (music, writing, quilting...)
