Ciao a tutti,

vado un secondo OT perchÃ¨, per quanto strano possa sembrare, stiamo  
avendo notevoli difficoltÃ a rintracciare gente che voglia giocare con  
RoR in una startup milanese (la mia) 😉

Ho pensato di disturbarvi un secondo per vedere se tra questo maraqsma  
di sciamannati che Ã¨ la lista (ed in cui mi trovo perfettamente a mio  
agio) c’Ã¨ qualcuno a cui potrebbe interessare di lavorare a Milano o che  
conosce persone interessate.

Il profilo che ricerchiamo Ã¨ una persona skillata nella programmazione  
con un buon background… La descrizione segue e se avete ulteriori  
domande non esitate a richiedere e/o mailare 🙂

Grazie mille e scusate il “rumore di fondo”.

M.

 CODE POET RoR

```

* * *

We are in need of someone who coud recite “Getting Real” by 37Signals  
and dreams about working in such a team and Environment.  
Someone who handles skillfully RoR, Mongrel, capistrano and wants to  
create a 2M impressions per day website.  
Someone who commits on Git at the same rate he/she wash his/her hands,  
who wants to work in couple with the graphic designer to create  
intuitive, simple, consistent applications: namely, smart applications  
for stupid users, the fist one of them being the CEO 🙂  
Somone who wants to do something that will make most people “Wow” by  
using it and something that will leave a wide trail of success in every  
resume. We want innovation in the code as well: easy, powerfull, zen  
programming is a need, not a hype.  
He/she will work on a new social network and augmented reality project,  
doing things he/she will unlikely find elsewhere. Really.  
He/she will engage with systems, play with Tb of data on Amazon’s S3,  
with a few million hits daily, with a pain-in-the-ass CEO who can code  
and is convinced to be a skilled programmer. With a few billion records  
schedules in his database. Used for queries, of course… in realtime.  
HE/she should have fun, like we do, and get pissed by searching the  
damned solution demanded by the situation. We need an enthisast,  
otherwise he/she couldn’t be of the crew.

We don’t need a CODE MONKEY, we need a CODE POET.

We’re in need of:

- user experience / interaction design prowess
- javascript coding experience (ideally with extjs, jquery or other  
fashionable frameworks)
- rails, php, or python experience (whatever works, with not-so-slight  
preference for RoR)
- basic SQL skills (can write queries with joins)

…the kind of person whoâ€™d be a 1-person engineering department for a  
2-person web2.0 startup.

If you think you can fit, please notify us 🙂 [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

un OT ben accetto 🙂  
strano che non vi siano sviluppatori RoR disponibili nella zona di  
Milano…
