The Task
Working at YouEye, you have the unique responsibility of not only making our own products better, but influencing thousands of web products by assisting in the development of a great user research toolset. From page analytics to signal processing and participant sourcing, there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.
Whether you're cranking out some CoffeeScript, integrating an API, or hacking on CSS, we want engineers who care about user-centric design.
The Engineer
You've made something awesome on the web. Whether you've built an entire online web application or coded a killer javascript widget, you know your way around clean design and code. You are comfortable with modern web frameworks, image manipulation tools, rapid prototyping, MVC architecture, and writing tested code. We use Ruby on Rails as our web stack, with CoffeeScript, jQuery and a pinch of love.
On a team, we work fast and hard. You are comfortable pair programming and working with other engineers. You are opinionated but flexible. Above all, you want to ship an incredible product and have an integral role in making that happen.

- Experienced writing HTML5, JavaScript, and other fancy technologies built on those foundations, such as AngularJS and CoffeeScript

The Culture
Sure you love making great products, working on open source projects, and telling the tales of great engineering triumphs, but what else are you up to? We're made of musicians, pilots, snowboarders, yo-yo enthusiasts, gamers, hikers, cyclists and comedians. We want to learn from you!
