performance work environment and stunning package on offer.

My client is looking for a individual who can demonstrate a passion and  
motivation for programming to join this close knit team and bring

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
