Chute (YC W12) looking for a Frontend Lead and a Senior Rails Developer
on April 24, 2013 | hide
Frontend Lead

You:

* Have been cranking through Javascript for years and have spent time playing with the various frameworks for structuring large scale applications in Javascript.

* Are comfortable setting the standards and patterns that you'd expect to be followed across the board.

* Can make informed decisions as to why (or why not) to use various libraries and frameworks.

* Want to help lead development of a Marionette.js based interface for our various services.

* Ideally have some experience as a full stack engineer, but mostly just so you can tweak API responses that need tweaking.

Senior Rails Developer

You:

* Have spent a few years working on production grade Rails sites.

* Love testing but don't drown in the kool-aid.

* Are totally comfortable getting down and dirty with PostgreSQL. Our database is close to a TB and growing rapidly!

* Would be pretty sweet if you'd worked with some Node.js apps, or played around with various JVM languages such as Scala and Clojure.

* Are comfortable owning various bits of infrastructure. We have lots of little pieces that all plug together to form Chute and our backend team is tiny (2.5 people currently.)

We:

* Are located on 2nd and Stillman in San Francisco. We're ideally looking to hire people local to SF, but we're open to relocating the right people.

* Have raised significant venture funding since YC.

* Are about 20 people altogether with just over half being part of engineering, and have a healthy amount of revenue flowing in.

* Are handing out chunks of equity that you can tell your mom about without feeling too bad about it.

* Have a ping pong table that is in use for the majority of the day. What's the point of having one if no one ever plays?

If either of these positions sound interesting to you, please email ctide at getchute dot com with impressive stuff!
