Official.fm - New York City - FULL TIME: Ruby Engineers, Frontend Devs - <a href="http://official.fm" >http://official.fm</a>
We create tools and services that help optimize the day-to-day of music professionals: labels, artists, etc. We use the latest technologies in order to rapidly iterate and build the best possible product for our users. We are a small company of around 20 creative people and our lean structure allows us to move fast, cut the crap, and ship.
We are not afraid to try new things: our labs team has written audio decoders in JavaScript for MP3, ALAC, FLAC, and AAC, along with a pitch detector. We know the difference between production code and research code. We love open-source and it loves us back.
The ideal candidate has:
* Expertise in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and related technologies.
* Familiarity with modern tools, such as Git, SCSS, and other.
* Experience with agile methodologies, TDD, sprints and poker planning, daily stand-ups.
* An opinion. We want you to argue about the right way to do things. If something isn’t up to our level of quality, we expect an intervention.
* Excitement about music and desire to work in this area.
Our stack includes:
* Ruby on Rails 3
* Nginx + Passenger
* PostgreSQL
* Full text search
* Message queues
* JQuery
* Backbone.js
* Git
