non-hierarchical team. If you can prove your stripes then the skies are
the limit with this company the more they grow, the more your grow! High
performance work environment and stunning package on offer.

I would also like a list of blogs, internet sites and programming books
you read for continual self improvement. If your not a geek and don’t
love ruby, then this job is not for you!

This is an immediate requirement so email [email protected] or call
Shamael Keng on 03 9283 9079 for a confidential discussion. Opportunity
beckons.

Shamael, I am very interested in this company you are representing as
from the job description and skills required they sound like they know
what they are doing when it comes to web development.

I am an experienced web application programmer (8+ years) and have all
the skills they mention aside from being an expert in Ruby. As to my
Ruby experience I have experimented with the language and played with
Ruby on Rails in my own time but have not had the opportunity to build
a large project on it.

Would this company have a position that does not require the applicant
to be an expert immediately?

As to the salary I would be looking for something around the 80k mark.

Cheers,

Nigel
