LocalBonus (New York, NY) FULL TIME Rails Developer in NYC (or REMOTE)

Why us: - Product is something you'd use (we let consumers use their existing credit/debit cards as loyalty cards at local businesses) - Seed funding already closed (recently... so we have runway) - You'd be the third person on the team so there's plenty of equity to work with - We're currently in the Entrepreneur's Roundtable Accelerator program (http://eranyc.com) - CTO has 12 years software dev experience, 6 years managing tech teams. He's an awesome mentor (and generally awesome guy). Among other things, he managed the team that built Australia's largest Ruby on Rails application. - CEO is a Stanford grad with 6+ years direct experience in our industry - Ability to shape corporate culture. We tend to be disciplined and professional about the stuff that matters and very casual/flexible about the stuff that doesn't. - Our main stack is Rails 3.1, MySQL (moving to MongoDB soon), jQuery, and HAML. - Looking to build out our iOS and Android platform. If you have experience here, you'd be in charge of this.

Ideal candidate: - 2-3 years full time dev experience in Ruby (will consider light Ruby experience or more junior if you're a solid fit and eager to learn) - Smart / raw talent / logical thought process important - Entrepreneurial hustle - basically someone that wants to contribute a lot to LocalBonus and then be CTO/Founder of their own company after this.
