Agile Web Dev Shop seeks RoRer

We are an open and innovative company looking for some of the best individuals in the area to join and form a small integrated team. We are very selective and believe the key to our success will be finding talented, well-rounded team members. If you are looking for a company where your thoughts and opinions are valued, rather than simply finding that others dictate their ideas to you, then this is the company for you. We believe everyone benefits from an environment where others are treated with honesty and respect. No one is simply a cog in the works, each team member’s ideas are valued, and each team member shares in the rewards when we complete large accounts.

Hi, I’m Brian

I work at mirRoR, where we connect agile Rails developers and employers.

We started as Rails programmers ourselves (and are currently working on a few social, facebook, and iPhone apps). This background and network help us identify quality opportunities in the industry.

That’s especially important today. While many venture-backed web 2.0 startups are cutting costs amidst this economic climate, we are working with a number of companies that are self-sufficient, cash-positive, and well capitalized for the long-term.

I’d be eager to briefly discuss where you are in the process and see if there is a potential fit, either for the opportunities listed here, or those posted elsewhere.

Let’s chat!
