Original posting

SidePrize - Atlanta, GA or Remote - Lead Developer http://sideprize.com/ SidePrize sits somewhere between traditional fantasy and daily fantasy sports. You can think of us as a bridge between the two. We partner with fantasy sports platforms and leagues to provide additional game types, real-money contests and payments. We're looking for someone to lead our backend development efforts. The challenge at hand is building a solid integration with our partners using a combination of APIs and scraping. Required: * Experience writing and maintaining web applications, specifically back-end (server-side). * Experience with the Ruby programming language and/or the Ruby on Rails web application framework. * Great writing and communication skills. One or more members is often remote, being able to communicate by writing is of critical importance. * Good requirement-gathering skills. Starting with a problem and working from there to understand how the problem can be solved is a valuable skill. * A strong interest in sports. Preferred: * Experience maintaining the front-end of web applications (HTML/CSS/JavaScript). * A strong interest in fantasy sports and sports statistics. * Experience building fantasy sports or similar applications.
