Sr. RoR Developer, Washington, D.C. | 90-120k

My client is a startup working to change the way people give of their
time, money, and ideas to help others-and they need you (an experienced
Ruby on Rails developer) to help them build their Web platform. You will
lead development efforts and deliver enterprise-level code, so you
already have several years of significant development experience in a
structured environment. 

You will work closely with our Product Development team to turn our
collective vision into creative solutions, so you must work well in a
team environment and be comfortable with change. You love the dichotomy
of the entrepreneurial experience-one day you're discussing innovative
new concepts on a whiteboard and the next you're locked in a room fixing
bugs and responding to emails from members. You are also productive when
you are only given 80% of the answer-we need people who enjoy solving
problems and making smart decisions along the way. 

In terms of specific skills, you must have a near expert level
understanding of Ruby on Rails (in other words, you would feel
comfortable teaching a class to other developers with a day or so of
preparation). You also must have direct experience building dynamic UI
elements using Ajax (across multiple browsers), and you should have a
good understanding of CSS and layouts. Ideally, you also have some sys
admin skills and feel comfortable troubleshooting server issues in a
Linux environment as well. 

This is a full-time position working out of our office in downtown
Washington D.C (no telecommuting). 

Key Responsibilities 
* Build functional Web applications and modules in Ruby on Rails 
* Use APIs to integrate Web 2.0 features for media, social networking,
etc. 
* Troubleshoot server issues and oversee Linux system administration
duties
* Oversee testing and quality control of our Web properties 
* Collaborate with team members to plan and design innovative Web
components 
* Serve our members and customers by responding to questions, bug
reports, and feature requests
