Open Positions
Animoto.com is looking for a few solid Ruby devs to join our small team of kick-arse developers. We’re a well-funded startup that has been making a big splash all over the press, from the New York Times to TechCrunch. We’re not looking for code monkeys—we want to find people who care about their code and who want to be challenged and grow in their skills.
Who we are: Here’s our blurb: "Animoto is a video creation platform that automatically produces videos using images and music. Using their patent-pending Artificial Intelligence developed to think like an actual editor & director, the resulting video has the emotional impact of a movie trailer and the visual energy of a music video."
To be honest, that text just doesn’t do us justice. Check out this link to get a better picture of what we do. Or, if you won’t take our word for it, you can read what the press has to say and check out the awards we’ve won, including this year’s Webby Award for Best Services and Applications Website. We’re already cash-flow positive and have just finished raising more money to take it to the next level. We’re looking for some good devs to help us get there.
Who we’re looking for: I’m not going to list 100 technologies you need to know to join our team. Through our hiring process we’ve determined that there are only a few must-haves to pass the bar. You need to demonstrate at least 2 out of the 3 following:
The other soft requirements are that you are a good fit for our team (can you learn from others? can you collaborate well?) and that you demonstrate that you can attack problems creatively and have a flexible mind.
On top of that, here are the technologies that we use that would be helpful for you to know:
Rails, Merb, Capistrano, Git, Linux, HTML/DHTML/CSS/Javascript, Ajax, AWS (S3/EC2/SQS/SDB), RESTful APIs, async processing/messages queues (Starling, DelayedJob, etc), Nginx, Apache + Phusion Passenger, Haproxy, SQL, db optimization.
