RoR Power ([http://www.rorpower.com](http://www.rorpower.com)) is a boutique recruiting firm  
specializing in Ruby on Rails opportunities. We have been retained by  
a well-funded startup in San Francisco to find a top-notch RoR  
superstar.

The company is looking to bring web 2.0 usability and agility into the  
enterprise domain. It believes that software for the enterprise  
shouldn’t be boring. It should be elegant and efficient; it should be  
useful, valuable, and fun, and it should be hosted and delivered as a  
service.

This is a tremendous opportunity to make your mark. You will have  
artistic and development freedom to create a brand new service  
offering targeted at business users. Did we also mention the founders  
are willing to give significant equity in the company to the right  
candidate?

Candidates - please email your resume and samples / URLs of past work  
to “jobs (at) rorpower (dot) com”. This is NOT a spam folder that no  
one looks at. Resumes submitted to this address are automatically  
loaded into our db, and we actually have an alert associated with this  
address and it goes right to our cell phones…

Required skills:

- The “midas touch” with Ruby on Rails, AJAX, CSS, JavaScript, JSON,  
HTML, prototype, and [script.aculo.us](http://script.aculo.us).
- Works well with designers and artist types
- Experience with cross-browser issues with DOM and CSS
- Be addicted to Agile product delivery and building products people  
use

Desired skills:

- Grew up with LAMP and Python prior to RoR
- Have a poster of David Heinemeier H. hanging on your wall
- Have Cal Henderson’s Building Scalable Website on your bedside table
