24/7 Rails-focused Support

We came about in early 2006 because we saw a genuine need: customers were developing business-critical Rails apps, but they didn't want to worry about deployment issues, nor did they want to hire IT staff to manage servers.

Customers wanted Rails-focused 24/7 operations support on top of great infrastructure, plus they wanted a smooth path from 100 users to 100,000 users.

That's what we are all about.

Perhaps most importantly, we really enjoy what we're doing and we believe in running a healthy, profitable business that will last well into the future.

To date, we’ve raised $37.5 million of funding with participation from Amazon.com, New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA), and Benchmark Capital.

We are looking for two high level Ruby developers with strong agile backgrounds.

Both positions will be working on our main cloud products.

Requirements:

• Well versed in test/behavior-driven development, pair-programming and continuous refactoring.

• Deep expertise in Merb or Rails (you'll be programming in Merb and be helping with the Merb -> Rails migration path).
• Professional experience deploying a production Rails or Merb application.
• Familiarity with a javascript toolkit like prototype or jQuery (we use jQuery).
