Hi there,

We’re looking to add an experienced Ruby/Rails developer to our team  
here at SideReel in San Francisco. [SideReel.com](http://SideReel.com) is a fast-growing web  
site with millions of users that aims to be the center of the online  
TV world. We are a small established start-up located on the top floor  
of an old brick office building south of Market Street in San  
Francisco. We offer competitive salaries, great vacation time,  
significant equity and paid benefits. SideReel is a great place to  
work!

About the job:  
We are looking for an experienced Ruby on Rails software engineer to  
help build a community-based site focused on helping people find great  
entertainment online. We are a small, relatively experienced team that  
is passionate about learning and dedicated to continuous improvement.  
Joining now means that you’ll have tremendous influence over the  
technology, features, the direction of the product, and the culture of  
the company.

Process-wise, we use a test-driven approach to engineering including  
some elements of Extreme Programming. We’re focused on rapid product  
iterations, frequent prototyping, and a fanatical belief in user  
feedback. We test early and often. We’re very interested in how we can  
improve how we do what we do.

The ideal candidate is a Ruby/Rails expert who:

- Has shipped multiple high-traffic Rails sites
- Has published or maintained a Ruby Gem or Rails Plugin

You should be skilled in many of following areas:

- jQuery + Rails
- Memcache
- Java/J2EE
- Rspec
- CSS
- Cucumber/Integration testing

You must be at least this tall to ride:

- Have shipped a Ruby (with or without Rails) web project
- Have significant javascript expertise
- Love working with and in teams
- Be excited about Agile software development

Please respond with at least 2 of the 4 following pieces of  
information:

- What previous projects are you particularly proud of?
- What interests you about working for an early start-up?
- What are your favorite agile development practices, and how have  
they helped you?
- What excites you about software development in general?
