Experienced Web Developer at eYeka. Paris, France

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:56:37 +0000

About us

eYeka leverages the world’s creativity to enable organizations and people to create a

better future together.

We nurture a community of 200,000 creative consumers from 94 countries that helps

companies generate fresh creative ideas, unlock innovation opportunities and drive

consumer engagement at a global level, in a matter of weeks and within a

confidential, IP protected environment.

eYeka serves more than 40 of the top 100 brands such as P&G, Kraft, Coca-Cola,

Unilever, Danone, Hyundai and Microsoft and is present in France, Singapore, China

and the UK.

About the job

We are looking for a highly skilled Rails developer to strengthen our technology team

in Paris (located near the Champs- ?lys?es). We’re on the verge of building a new

service-oriented architecture using Ruby, Sinatra, Rspec and MongoDB.

These new services will support our current RoR applications to make it more

scalable and easier to maintain going forward.

Why join us?

We’re agile. That means test-driven development with tools like RSpec and

Selenium. It means pair-programming, refactoring, and state-of-the-art

continuous integration, build, and deployment infrastructure.

We’re good, and always improving. We have daily stand-up meetings and

regular retrospectives. We figure out what we’re doing wrong, so we can fix it,

and what we’re doing right, so we can make it even better. Working here

means you get better at what you already do well, every day.

We’re passionate. It means we’ve got a real culture. You will be joining a

small team that is eager to share their knowledge and learn from others. We

try and rotate developers between projects. With us, you may work on five,

six, or even more projects in a single year.

Why you?

This job is clearly not for everyone. You are ready to write applications intended for

several audiences: creative consumers (B2C), Chief Marketing Officers (B2B), the

rest of us at eYeka (back-office).

We would like you to be smart and very articulate with:

- 3-year experience with Ruby and Ruby frameworks (RoR, Sinatra);

- Server-side technology stack (MySQL, MongoDB, Apache, Phusion

Passenger, Amazon Cloud Services);

- Client-side technology: HTML5 (HAML), CSS (SASS), JS (JQuery required,

Prototype recommended).

Most importantly, we would like you to love:

- Elegant code, simple to understand and powerful;

- Writing tests and watching them go green;

- Sharing and discussing with your peers;

- Speaking English and French at work (or at least have a willingness to learn!)

In one word if you love what you do, you’ll do what you love with us!
