eLocal (http://www.elocal.com) - Conshohocken, PA (Philly burbs)

Ostensibly, the job title is Ruby Developer, but really your job involves bringing to life the software that is used by our consumers, customers and internal users. You will be responsible, in concert with our product and operations teams, for feature definition, project planning and estimation, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Often, we work with Ruby and Rails, but there are many other tools in our toolbox, including PostgreSQL, Solr, Chef, Redis, AWS, PhoneGap, and more. Our developers are given the freedom to find the best solution, but must take on the responsibility for a successful implementation. We are looking for an individual who has a proven ability to ship great software regardless of the technology.

Must Haves:

- Eligible for work in the US - At least 2‐5 years of relevant web development experience - Experience with scripting languages such as PHP, Python, or Ruby, (Hardcore would be a +!) as well as the ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies (we are willing to take someone without Ruby experience assuming you have lots of web development experience and are willing to learn) - Experience owning, delivering and maintaining production code or services - Exposure developing on Linux/Unix. You don't need to be an admin, but you need to be comfortable with a terminal shell - Self motivated with a strong work ethic Nice to Haves: - Devops: Linux Administration / Nginx / Amazon Web Services / Chef - Data: PostgreSQL / Redis / Solr - Javascript: CoffeeScript / JQuery - Mobile: Phone Gap / iOS development
