Developer
Location: Melbourne,VIC,Australia
About the position
We've got a lot of work to do, and not quite enough developers to do it. Hopefully you can help us out.
We're looking for a few friendly, technically competent developers to augment the Envato development group. We've got a preference for people with commercial Ruby and/or Rails experience, but it's far more important that you're a capable problem solver, who can learn quickly and think on your feet. We can teach you Rails, but we can't teach common sense.
Generally as a developer on one of the Envato teams, you'll work on all kinds of things: big projects, small maintenance tasks, fiddling with servers, getting involved with users on our forums, etc. You'll be part of an egalitarian, fairly autonomous team, be pointed at a problem, and then given enough rope to hang yourself. Or wildly succeed. It's really up to you.
To come work for us, you'll preferably tick all of the boxes below, but if you're missing a few and still feel you're a good match, apply anyway.
Essential Requirements
- Be a nice person
- Communicate well in person and in writing
- Be a curious person committed to continual learning
- Be capable of writing clean, well thought out, and reliable code
Preferred Requirements
- Be a nice person && be funny
- Have commercial Ruby on Rails experience
- Have experience of other high volume/scale web apps
- Have solid TDD/BDD experience (and the ability to mentor juniors in this skill)
- Contribute to Open Source projects
- Past experience in other agile environments
