Talent Bank: Software Development Opportunity

Posted by:

Marchant, Stephen

'We love what we do and it doesn't feel like work. If you're a nice, friendly person who is technically solid and have a passion for writing code and developing products, we think we'll get along.'

citysocializing.com have been pioneering the online to offline social networking and discovery space since 2007, with a vision to make the world a more humanly connected place. The space is now red hot and they're ready to use their deep experience to take the number one position, starting with the pending launch of our new re-branded global platform (Open API, web, mobile and iPhone app) citysocializer.

As a member of their team you should be comfortable jumping in the deep end and learning new skills in Ruby on Rails if you don't have them already, or passionate about at least one of the following three core areas:

- Scaling architecture and improving performance to handle the growing number of users each month
- Experimenting with game mechanics to see what encourages users to do things together in the real world
- Launching features that help people have more fun together and explore their city

And because they push new versions of the website and API weekly, it won't take long to get your work out in front of users.

Requirements:

For Junior Roles:

BSc/MSc in Computer Science or related field (or currently studying).
Ruby on Rails, AJAX based websites, JavaScript and jQuery experience is desirable but not essential.

For Senior Roles:

- 5+ years experience building products for fast growing web or mobile products
- Strong Java experience or, even better, experience or interest in RoR
- Comfortable with AJAX based websites, JavaScript and jQuery

Salary is negotiable and dependent on experience, and senior positions come with attractive share options.
