About you
You love Web 2.0 but you are not a .Net czar. Your bag is either Ruby, PHP, Perl or Python (although I will admit we are going to try to make you a Ruby convert) and JavaScript and you are known to write code that works, really works. You are aching to work in a scrum environment - or perhaps you already do. Even better!! Design patterns are your passion. You love consumer products because your mom can understand what you are working on. You avoid premature optimization. You spend as much time writing tests as you do writing the implementation, and you tend to do both at the same time.You're ready to work elbow deep with some the brightest engineers in consumer web 2.0 and have a reputation for speaking plainly, for taking risks, for being creative, and for being secure enough in your intelligence to some times admit ignorance. You are a pillar of reliability and crave success.
Bonus
• Familiarity with Merb, Nginx, Thin, MySQL, Hypertable and Solr
