Ruby on Rails Lead Developer for Accelerator in Indianapolis

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 03:43:35 GMT

Pocket Tales is a social reading game aimed at 7-12 year old kids. As a finalist at the SXSW Accelerator we were called the “Foursquare of reading” but really, we’re just using gaming techniques to help kids have more fun and learn critical thinking skills while reading books.

Pocket Tales is a Startl/DreamIt Ventures portfolio company and is participating in this summer’s accelerator program. Because of this, it is a REQUIREMENT that all applicants be available to spend May 7th through August 6th in Philadelphia.

We’re looking for someone who is an experienced Ruby on Rails developer and expert project manager to help us enhance our current alpha product. We subscribe to the philosophy of “build half a product, not a half-assed product” and expect this developer to do the same.

(Please, no design firms, freelancers, or consultants need apply. Individuals seeking full-time positions only.)

WE ARE LOOKING TO MAKE FINAL DECISIONS WITHIN A WEEK. DON'T WAIT. APPLY NOW.
