I have an incredible team I’m sure you’ve heard of in New York and looking for another Ruby engineer to join the team.  I'm working with the founder of RapGenius, Tom Lehman, on this opportunity and have multiple openings for mid level to sr/principal/lead developers.  I helped these guys staff 2 Ruby on Rails engineers, both from well-known companies, let me know if you’d be interested in checking them out.

They pinned down $15M from Ben Horowitz and have been getting a ton of attention.  I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

We raised $15M from Andreessen Horowitz to build the Internet Talmud™ (read more here: http://goo.gl/LKNHO).
We want someone to code in Ruby of course.  Specifically, we'd like this person to:

- Be a great developer (in the beginning you'd be doing a lot of coding)

- Make the architectural decisions.  Fairly straightforward, if you need more info let’s chat!

- First-class browsing experience. The thirsty masses (http://goo.gl/G41HS) are BEGGING US FOR IT.

- Ability to contribute and use the site's social features. We want users to add / edit explanations, read their messages and activity streams, chat with other users, etc. ANDDD we're currently working on a whole new model for browsing the site that will be based on the idea of following artists, users, genres, etc, and we want to bring this experience to mobile as well

- Easy UI for artists to explain their own lines. Rap Genius verified accounts are blowing up (http://rapgenius.com/verified-artists), but we'll never TRULY compete with Twitter and Instagram for artist attention and love without a mobile app. Maybe it's the same app as normal consumers have, maybe not, but either way we need functionality for artists to easily write and record text and video explanations, and see their fans upvotes and comments. (Emphasis on EASE OF USE – there's a reason artists don't find Facebook's mobile experience compelling)

- Help us expand to other genres. A complex topic, but suffice it to say that you'll be involved in both the application kids use to dick around and avoid homework AND the application kids use to do their literature close reading assignments

We're looking for someone truly brilliant, and so we're willing to offer a lot:

- BOMB equity
- BOMB salary (what do I mean by "bomb salary"? I feel it's gauche to talk numbers here, so I'll just say this: whatever number you're thinking of... it's more)
- Free health insurance
- Free lunch
- Free gym
- Free phone service
- Any computer(s) you want
