Do you have what it takes to spearhead new product initiatives and
uphold Mixbook’s virtues of writing the most beautiful, modular,
concise RoR code possible? RoR is the glue that holds together the
entire user experience, from intial signup through creation and
ultimately checkout.
Role:

Author of RubyAMF) to develop elegant solutions to tough programming
problems.
Design and implement Mixbooks core feature set through full product
lifecycle.
Make mission critical architecture decisions.
Own Mixbook product architecture from front to back.
Work with the CTO and CEO to brainstorm, design and develop customer
features.
Qualifications:
Passion for building a great consumer product that everyone will
love and use.
Strong experience with Ruby on Rails.

syntax highlighting.
Knowledge or interest in EC2, S3, and new server technologies.
Extremely hard working. You should be ready to make Mixbook a
priority in your life.
Thrive on working with A-players. You’d rather get fragged by a n00b
than work with B-players.

And theyll tell us that!
2 - 20 years of programming experience. Hardcore Coders of any
experience level should apply.
Bachelors in Computer Science, Engineering, or any difficult
technical major required.
About Mixbook:
Mixbook is a profitable, venture-backed startup founded by a team of
Berkeley engineers to improve the way people share, preserve, and
print their photos through the internet. Currently, Mixbooks platform
gives users the most powerful and intuitive way to create custom photo
books, cards and calendars, and people love us - see
Google.
Backed by the same guys who funded other hot startups such as Pandora
and Zynga, our revenues have grown by over 700% per year over the past
2 years, making us one of the fastest-growing companies in the Silicon
Valley. We have millions of happy users, but only a handful of
engineers, and were looking for more Chuck-Norris-joke-worthy
developers to work with and build cool consumer facing applications.
