True Sparrow Systems: Join us - Senior ROR Developer

Senior Ruby On Rails Developer (Pune, India)

Who we're looking for:

We want someone very comfortable with Ruby On Rails, but at the same time someone who isn't afraid to treat Javascript as a real language. Someone who will apply creative design and engineering rigor to front-end programming.

What you would be working on:

You will be working on Fab.com. Co-founded by True Sparrow, Fab.com features daily design inspirations and sales at up to 70% off retail. Fab.com investors include among others, Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures, The Washington Post Company, First Round Capital and SV Angel.

You should have:

Strong experience with Ruby On Rails.
Experience designing scalable, fault-tolerant databases.
Experience programming in object-oriented JavaScript.
As a guideline, we expect you have experience working on JavaScript/HTML/CSS ("AJAX") web applications.
A feel for good design -- both in terms of engineering and user experience.
Very strong practical knowledge of relevant W3C standards (XHTML, DOM, CSS).
Demonstrated expert-level knowledge in overcoming cross-browser compatibility problems in JavaScript and CSS.
Understanding of semantic coding and why it's important.
Tolerance for the overhead of rapidly iterating toward greater usability. Insistence on complete/frozen specifications just won't work here.

And some nice-to-haves:

Experience with memcached
Working knowledge of JQuery and Prototype
Handy with RegEx
Working knowledge of Opensocial or Facebook API
