swivel wants a senior rails developer

Swivel is a tool for social data analysis and business intelligence. We’re pioneering an industry and are looking for a developer to join us in the adventure.

About Swivel

• We invented an industry. http://bit.ly/swivel-launch
• We do meaningful work. http://bit.ly/swivel-oecd and http://bit.ly/swivel-world-forum
• We’re agile. (Sometimes with remote scrum.) We do good work.
• We’re a tight bunch, so we have a lot of fun together. (human pyramid, brewery tour, poker night!)
• We offer medical, dental, vision, 401(k), commuter checks, equity, etc.
• We have a fully stocked kitchen, amazing 12th floor views, solid art on the walls, fun start-up environment.

Who we’re looking for

• You rock the basics (linux or osx, ruby+rails or some other scripting web framework, sql, html, css, javascript).
• You grok the web. You get HTTP status codes, know how to avoid XSS, have built and worked with web APIs, speak fluent REST.
• You have a few interesting side projects because you’re intellectually adventurous. Also, you think they’re fun.
• You thrive on solving supermassive problems with smart people. Our space is still nascent; there is no shortage of interesting work to do.
• You know that there’s more to life than sharing online videos of funny cats or poking friends on social network sites. You want to do something that really matters.

Full time in downtown SF, CA. No contractors, no telecommuters.
