Description:<\/p>\n
Animoto.com is looking for a few solid Ruby devs to join our small
\nteam of kick-arse developers. We’re a well-funded startup that has
\nbeen making a big splash all over the press, from the New York Times
\nto TechCrunch. We’re not looking for code monkeys–we want to find
\npeople who care about their code and who want to be challenged and
\ngrow in their skills.<\/p>\n
Who we are:<\/p>\n
Here’s our blurb: “Animoto is a web application that, with the click
\nof a button, produces videos using images and music that a user
\nselects. Using their patent-pending Artificial Intelligence developed
\nto think like an actual editor & director, the resulting video has
\nthe emotional impact of a movie trailer and the visual energy of a
\nmusic video.”<\/p>\n
To be honest, that text just doesn’t do us justice. Check out this
\nlink to get a more accurate picture. Or, if you won’t take our word
\nfor it, here’s what the TechCrunch guys have to say.<\/p>\n
Who we’re looking for:<\/p>\n
We’re not going to list 100 technologies you need to know to join our
\nteam. Through our hiring process we’ve determined that there are only
\na few must-haves to pass the bar. Our biggest requirements are:
\n# You understand computer science fundamentals (data structures\/
\nalgorithms)
\n# You are a good fit for our team (can you learn from others? can you
\ncollaborate well?)
\n# You demonstrate that you can attack problems creatively and have a
\nflexible mind<\/p>\n
Notice there is no Ruby in there? Good. Chances are you already know
\nRuby if you’re reading this job post, but if not, a person with the
\nabove qualifications can be taught Ruby pretty quickly. You can teach
\nsomeone Ruby, you can’t teach them to think. If you do have extensive
\nRuby\/Rails experience, that is definitely a plus, but isn’t our sole
\nrequirement.<\/p>\n
On top of that, here are the technologies that we use that would be
\nhelpful for you to know: Rails, Merb, Capistrano, Git, Linux, HTML\/
\nDHTML\/CSS\/Javascript, Ajax, AWS (S3\/EC2\/SQS\/SDB), RESTful APIs, async
\nprocessing\/messages queues (Starling, BDRB, etc), Nginx, Apache +
\nPhusion Passenger, Haproxy, SQL, db optimization<\/p>\n
