Description

Core-Apps is looking for a talented, experienced full-time Ruby developer who has a knack for well-thought out code, strives for ensuring users have a great experience, and wants to bring something fun to our gaming sessions. You’d be working with the other members of our web team to maintain the mobile-optimized web version of our app (for non-iOS and Android devices), creating great, usable admin interfaces, developing tools to help our operations team handle the craziest sets of data you’ve ever seen, and a whole lot more. The nature of our business means that we’re working on projects for many customers at once, so you’d be working on every stage of the development cycle—all with technologies included in people's buzz-word lists.

We’re looking for someone who:
  • Has a great personality. Can you name all the Dr. Who actors? Can you generate a meme faster than a witty comeback? Can you talk about beer, gaming, philosophy, and foreign languages all in the same sentence?
  • Is able to work independently from home (or wherever!) without a micromanaging boss. Dress jammies are only required on Mondays.
  • Can integrate into and communicate with a team of device developers, server developers, project and operations managers, and sales and accounts folks.
  • Can communicate solely via Skype, HipChat, and email to hit the ground running.


  • The ideal candidate should:
  • Be well versed in some combination of Ruby, couchdb, postgresql, redis, and/or Javascript.
  • Have a solid knowledge of current browser technologies, server topologies, and/or a good UI/UX design sense.
  • Have a few (or many) live projects that we can poke around.
  • or Be able to send us some links to repositories of some open-source work.
  • Have the hardware and software to do his/her job, a fast and stable internet connection, and a place where he/she can work uninterrupted.


  • About Core-Apps:
    We began as a startup over four years ago, and have grown leaps and bounds since then (including acquiring another company) to the point where we now dominate our niche market. We produce event apps for conventions and tradeshows of all sizes, including for some of the biggest and best names in just about every industry you can think of.

    Our development team is distributed across the US and Canada, so you can work wherever you please so long as you have a fast and stable internet connection and a place where you can work without interruptions.
