We're looking for a mid-to-senior Rails/JavaScript dev to join the tech team here at Tutoring Australasia. We have lots of cool features on our wish list and not enough of us to get them all done. So, we want to bring on another talented someone (maybe you?) to help us kick more development butt. This can be either a part-time or full-time position (see more info below).
Ideally, you are: - Very comfortable with building and maintaining Rails apps. You're old friends with Haml/Sass, Ruby, JavaScript/jQuery. Bonus points if you're BFF with Backbone.js and CoffeeScript, too. - Outgoing and enjoy working in an office where there's usually music playing; from Daft Punk to Jamiroquai to Radiohead, we've got varied musical tastes, but we tend to avoid Country. Working for us, your responsibilities would probably include: - Hacking on SkillsBuilder, our Rails 3 app that lets students take practice quizes and lets their teachers see how they're going. You'll take responsibility for driving a few of our prioritized features from concept to deployment. (With lots of guidance from the rest of dev team, of course.) - Pairing with the other members of the dev team in our day-to-day coding tasks. - Playing Counter-Strike, Starcraft, and the like, with the dev team, after-hours, if that's your thing. We're a really friendly bunch. A bit about Tutoring Australasia and the Dev Team: Tutoring Australasia is an Australian company that provides live, on-demand, online tutoring for students in Australia. We have about twelve full time staff (and hundreds of tutors). Our development team consists of me (@gabehollombe), Ganesh Shankar (@ganesh_shankar), Adam McNeil (@adam_mcneil), and Cameron Batt, most of whom you've probably met at Sydney RORO events and Railscamps. We're a tight-knit group of friends who work together to make cool things, and we have a blast doing it. Inspired by Railscamp, at the end of last year, we spent five weeks driving up the coast from Sydney to the Gold Coast. We worked remotely, camped in a huge tent, got heaps better at wakeboarding, and even did a fair share of hacking by the light of a campfire: http://www.flickr.com/photos/avantbard/5342754868/ Misc Details: Where: St. Leonards (on-site preferred, but there's a possiblity to acommodate off-site work so please don't let our preference for on-site prevent you from getting in touch) Length of job: Starting now-ish, and lasting for at least 3 months. Pay rate: $40-$60/hour -- this is a big range because we'll happily consider mid and senior devs; the rate we settle on will depend on your level of experience and the amount of awesomeness in your work. If you're interested, or if you know someone who might be, please shoot an email to me, Gabe Hollombe, at [email protected]. I'd love to hear from you.
