Looking for Rails Work?

Nov 09 2007

I've posted this in a few places, and gotten some great responses. I don't know why I didn't think of posting it here earlier. (Of course, I give preference to anybody who reads my blog :)). Our little job blurb looks like this:

GiraffeSoft is looking to add an awesome rails developer to our team. If you live and breathe ruby & rails, are test(or spec)-obsessed (this one is absolutely 100% critical), want to work on a team that is actually agile, and get paid to work on our open-source projects (and maybe some of your own), we want to talk to you. We work from home, so, self-motivation, and management skills are critical. Where you are, and when you do the work, however, are not, so long as things get done on time. It will start out as a contract position, with the potential to become full-time down the line. If you're interested, send a short note, resume, and code samples to noticeme at giraffesoft dot ca.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
