Seeking top developers for a global Ruby on Rails team

Assembla is seeking developers and designers for our Ruby on Rails development team. We use an “inspired by open source?? process to work with top developers and designers around the world. We are looking for 10 top Web developers and designers to work on our products and on products for clients who are launching Web 2.0 products. We value talent at least as much as experience; we seek developers in the top 10% of talent and productivity. Candidates will need to be able to work in a Rails development environment, but we do not require a lot of Ruby experience. If you are a top Web developer, can work in the Rails environment, and are ready to work as part of a distributed team, we want to hear more. We offer paid trial jobs to anyone who can install our Rails development system and contribute a very small patch to the development of our Breakout application. The trial will be a job that takes approximately one week of part time work for a skilled developer, and it will be paid at your full rate. You can work on a trial task part-time, while you work on your current job. If the task goes well, we will make you an offer for full-time employment. You will need to provide your own computer, networking, and workspace. When you send your pay requirements, include the cost of that infrastructure in your request. ## Deliverables Please send some specific information to <talent@[login to view URL]> * Your resume * A date when you can work on the trial job, and the number of hours per week you can work. * An hourly, weekly or monthly pay requirement * Please send us a patch or other information indicating that you have set up Ruby on Rails and our Breakout development environment. This is the only qualification that we require before offering a paid trial. You can find instructions for setting up Breakout development at: <[login to view URL]> To download the code from Subversion, you need to register on [login to view URL], which runs Breakout, and login using your [login to view URL] username and password. If you are not applying for the Rails position, but want us to consider you for a java position, send a message indicating your interest. We will have more java jobs available very soon. We use the same paid trial process to qualify a good group of distributed developers. Please respond to <talent@[login to view URL]> with questions ## Platform
