I’m really happy to report that my startup company EngineYard.com has been growing at a very rapid pace. We started with 3 people: Lance, Tom and I and now we are up to 9 people total. But this still is not enough! We opened our doors for customers in October of 2006 and we’re a profitable company as of January 2007.
I know a lot of smart folks read my blog here so this is a call to arms. Engine Yard is looking for 2 more employees that know rails and capistrano well. Sysadmin knowledge is also a big plus and knowledge of Linux is a must. You would be working in a very fun company helping us develop our custom internal software and capistrano automation code base. You would also help with customer support and customer code reviews/recommendations. Never a dull day here so you should be comfortable wearing multiple hats and work well under pressure.
This is a full time salaried position with benefits. The cool part is that you can work remotely so you do not have to move to take this job. Our data center and headquarters is in Sacremento but most of our Rails tech people are scattered across the states. In fact it’s a bonus if you live on the east coast or in Europe since the internet never sleeps and we are getting more and more customers from overseas.
You would be working closely with me and my team. You’d get to play with kick ass hardware and work with Rails developers from all over the world to get their apps and deployments all ironed out.
Interested? Shoot me an email with some info on who you are, what your skills are and why you think you would kick ass if we hired you.
Congratulations on profitability after only a few months - that is really something to be proud of! I know first hand that starting up a biz is super hard and turning a profit can be even harder - well done.
Yeah, I'm with Zack, it's great to hear your company is really taking off. I've heard nothing but raving reviews about the support (of which I can say I've been on the receiving end and it really is seriously good) and quality of service. Here's to Engine Yard and a successful future!
All the luck with your bussiness in the future! Would you be interested in a SEO/PPC job?
Customer code reviews? That sounds like hell.
