Bonanza.com is looking for a full-stack developer with the grit to hack on Ruby/Rails at scale. We serve nearly 50,000 merchants, helping them sell 15 million items across numerous buying channels. Measured by visitor traffic, we are one of the highest volume Rails installations in Seattle.
The Full Stack Developer at Bonanza will work across a variety of projects, gravitating toward those that are most stimulating for them. Our philosophy is that developers are most productive when they are given projects that best combine their talents &amp; interests.
Because of this customization between "person" and "projects," it is difficult to prescribe in advance the specific tasks that will comprise this job. But here is a representative sample of the challenges we're working on:
* How can we make a buyer's search experience as relevant as possible when 50,000 items match their query?
* How can we build the stickiest possible mobile buyer experience? Does that vary on tablets?
* What's it like to use the best toolset for managing an inventory of 100,000 items?
* Can we use natural language recognition to estimate the selling price of an item based on its title and category?
* What is the sexiest layout for a webstore theme?
Our challenges range up and down the stack, in a variety of technologies. If you like working at scale, to make improvements in the lives of entrepreneurs, there's plenty for us to get done together.
