If you love Ruby and live in San Francisco (or would like to), then this job is for you. Whether you're fresh out of college or a seasoned veteran does not matter that much, as long as you care about writing great Ruby code, and have a desire to work on exciting projects where you get to put a dent in the world.
You'll be joining my personal team of extremely talented engineers who are dedicated to improving our application infrastructure and have fun doing it. This means:
- Refactoring the existing code base, turning existing patterns into libraries
- Publish lots of open source and contribute where we can
- Providing great APIs and tools for our fellow engineers to work with
- Going deep, sorting out performance problems and settling debt
- Build new cool services to help take Zendesk to the next level
We lay the foundation for the features of tomorrow in an application that strives to make the world a better place - at a rate of 4 billion requests a month. Performance and code quality matters.
You're well versed in Ruby and think it could be exciting to join a tight knit team of Ruby specialists (who happen to be great guys as well).
