Slantwise Design is hiring one Ruby on Rails Dark Lord of the Sith. Candidate will lead Rails projects in a fast-paced, show-no-mercy environment. Our ideal applicant will have 1-3 years of Rails experience, a strong programming background, and be open to the power of the dark side.
Desired skills:- Ruby on Rails
- Ruby programming (non-Rails)
- Web deployment experience (Linux/Unix, mongrel, etc.)
- Java background a plus (and JRuby experience great), but not necessary
- The force, esp. mind trick
- Database knowledge (i.e. deeper than just ActiveRecord)
You will also be responsible for enforcing order within our projects. We practice rigorous waterfall project management, with heavy emphasis on meetings and documentation, so experience with the FAHS system (Fear -> Anger -> Hate -> Suffering) a plus.
We currently have two Rails Sith Lords on staff but are interested in bringing in some fresh talent. To apply, please send your resume to darklord@slantwisedesign.com and vanquish one of our current developers in single combat.
Edit: Happy April 1
Sadly, we aren’t actually hiring Rails developers at the moment, but special thanks to Darth Rubious, who put Eric in the hospital.
But wait… there can only be two Rails Sith Lords…
I am tempted to apply.
And I just fried my red light saber shoveling out the driveway.
