• Harvest: Junior Rails Developer
  

  Location: New York, NY
  URL: http://www.getharvest.com/

  Harvest is looking for a Junior Rails Developer to join our team.
  
  
  About Harvest:
  
  
  Harvest is one of the earliest Rails applications designed for businesses. We took a rather boring and painful problem — time tracking — and applied our expertise in design & technology. We're making time tracking enjoyable and effortless.
  
  
  We started as a team of 3 using Rails 0.14. Since then, we've grown to 19 Harvesters, serving thousands of customers from over 150 countries (and yes, we're now on Rails 3). We're a profitable and growing business that is completely self-funded.
  
  
  Learn more about working at Harvest: http://www.getharvest.com/careers
  
  
  Now, About You:
  
  
  You'll be joining a team of 6 awesome developers, working on a popular web application that powers some of coolest businesses out there. Here's a glimpse at Harvest's development process:
  
  
  http://www.getharvest.com/blog/2011/10/how-harvest-is-made-part-two/
  
  
  You should have a strong foundation in computer science, and some experience with Ruby & Rails. You are smart, curious, and eager to learn. We value honesty, responsibility, and humility, and we hope you do too.
  
  
  Sample of Things You Might Work On:
  
  
  • Recreate bugs and unexpected behavior, then fix the problem. Communicate the problem and solution back to our customers.
  • Refactor code to use new technologies and techniques. For example, our report generation and export just went from a tmpfile on disk to streaming output from our Rails daemons.
  • Collaborate with our interaction designers and front-end devs on a better first-time user experience, then make it happen.
  • Explore exciting possibilities for 3rd party APIs — everything from financial tools to support dashboards to Google app integrations.
  • Move a small codebase over to a new technology like Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.3, CoffeeScript, or CouchDB.
  
  
  Job Perks:
  
  
  • Work that is meaningful, challenging and fun.
  • A Mac of your choice + GeekDesk (standing desk) at our beautiful Soho office.
  • Excellent coffee.
  • Good salary.
  • 100% health benefits.
  • And a promise: no political B.S., cubicles, or TPS reports.
