Open Positions

For more about working with us, see our Overview and Working at NeedFeed pages. We're in the SOMA neighborhood in San Francisco, and these are full-time and in-person jobs. (We may consider full-time contractors.)

Developer

We are looking for a Ruby on Rails developer to add to our small San Francisco-based team.

We take agile development seriously:

• We practice test-driven development (we use Rspec, Jasmine and Capybara).
• We pair program 100% of the time.
• We have a continuous deployment system: every git push gets deployed to production automatically immediately after the tests pass.
• We have weekly retrospectives to look back on the past week and find ways to improve things for the next week.
• We bring people in for usability testing to learn about how real people use our app.
• We run A/B tests constantly to get real data on how features are working.
• We work hard during the day and go home at 6 PM.

We strive for a nice working environment:

• Our open-plan office facilitates easy communication.
• Our custom pairing desks provide a more comfortable pairing arrangement.
• Our office space has large windows, lots of lights, hardwood floors and brick walls.
• We look for people who are easygoing and easy to get along with.

All of our developers have the following responsibilities:

• Add features to our Rails codebase, including front-end and back-end coding since we don't differentiate the two.
• Improve our existing code.
• Participate in planning and product design.
• Help maintain our production systems.
• Learn.
• Teach.

If you are interested, please email jobs@needfeed.com. Principals only please (no recruiters). Please include some indication of work history (Github account, a resume, a link to a resume, a link to your LinkedIn page, your blog, etc.) and a brief note about yourself. Because we pair-program all day, we don't have time to check email until the end of the day so please be patient.
