Description
Company confidential, eh? Don't worry, the company matters less than the team we're building. While the company behind our (currently) primary app is located in Rhode Island with actual employees, we -- the product dev team -- are made up of independents who have been bonded together since 2006 by a dedication to making great things. (This is among several ads posted here, so you may have read this brilliant paragraph before.)
That primary app I mentioned? Ours is currently "just" a web app that began its life during the earliest days of Ruby on Rails, but we want to build mobile and tablet apps that, like the web app, are purpose-built to leverage their respective computing platforms. But, despite being experienced users of mobile and tablet apps, our diminutive dev team is inexperienced in their development. Help us.
We now have what is often an unwilling, unskilled population of users who would rather be doing something else than using an app of any kind. Our objective is to make it easy for them to do the right thing -- to give them what they need to know, when they need to know it, so that they can make the best decisions while taking the best actions. (Yes, while our current focus is this app and its market, we hope to build a team that can thrive together and tackle other apps and services.)
Instead of numbing your brain with a list of "required" and "nice-to-have" technical skills and experience, what's most important to us is that you have both the skill and the will to be a part of a team that's committed to making truly usable and effective products.
Next, it's up to you to take action by contacting us. Share boring-but-important things like your availability and billing rate, but also share how you like to work, what you've worked on -- including running apps and/or repos on github, for example -- and with whom (or at least in what sorts of team environments).
