Required Skills:

Our client is home to a new type of search that makes it easy to find subjective information. Starting in early 2008 the company raised seed financing from a number of premier angel investors and carefully grew a high-caliber engineering team. Today, the company includes founders from more than a half-dozen successful startups, four AI Ph.D.s, and engineers from Silicon Valley's major technology companies.

We are looking for seasoned Rails Developers who can work cooperatively with backend engineers, product managers, and user experience researchers in a fast paced, innovation-heavy environment. The ideal candidate will have strong technical chops combined with an eye for building user-intuitive web products.

Responsibilities:
* Help define exact product requirements from rough and sometimes incomplete specifications
* Quickly implement designs in variety of languages and platforms
* Participating in development of database, definitions and front end systems building

General requirements:
* B.S. in CS or Computer engineering from a leading institution (M.S. preferred)
* 3+ years direct technical experience in developing web-based products
* Fluent in Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, mySQL, and related technologies
* Affinity for rapid prototyping
* Flexibility when faced with complex challenges
* The strongest candidates will have proven records at both mature and early-stage companies
* It's a major plus if you've worked for big name companies such as Yahoo!, Google, Ask.com, Amazon, etc.
