SEEKING A TOTAL GEEK Pocketworks, Leeds, UK http://pocketworks.co.uk Want to work in a small, friendly 5 man team? We're developing our own products with funding. We also create mobile and cloud apps for a select few clients. We want a total geek who agrees with much of following: - I expect to earn £30,000 - £50,000 with my uber skills - I experiment with new technologies in my spare time - I’m at home writing UI code, middle tier code, db code, libraries - I think I'll get along great in a Ruby on Rails team - I write iOS or Android apps for kicks - I’ve played with Mongo, Couch and other storage tech - I want to play with message brokers - I love writing HTML, javascript and CSS - I’m far more comfortable having my code under unit test - I hate waiting for tests to run - I like the idea of automated deployment and CI - Every project feels like a hackathon - I’m avoiding contracting £££ because it’s more important to work with people and make products that make a difference long term - I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and helping out on boring jobs if the company needs it - Git is easy - I’ve been doing this for 7+ years. Still loving it. - I enjoy a beer on Fridays and bantering about software If that sounds awesomeballs, send some stuff to tobin@pocketworks.co.uk - Github profile - Sample code - List of published projects you own (open source or otherwise) - Photo and covering letter
