Hey people,
You know
http://shuffler.fm, right?
We are a small young startup that has offices on the hartje of
Amsterdam and we are trying to put a dent in the universe. hahaha Just
kidding.
But seriously, we are growing and looking for a frontend developer to
join the team.
I think what we do is pretty interesting not just technically but also
because we listen to awesome music the whole day, talk to music
bloggers from all around the world, go to music hack days
http://blog.shuffler.fm/post/20002430480/shuffler-fm-at-music-hack-day-amsterdam-last,
http://www.bright.nl/scoren-van-music-hack-day-amsterdam-40-hacks and
other fun stuff.
But hey, you are on this list for the codez, right?
So let me explain you on which metal shuffler runs.
So our app has 2 big parts:
One python backend that does all the web scrapping. It's a series of
beanstalk tubes and python workers that talk to many different APIs to
get the most information out of the non structured music blogs and the
music they post.
We scrape around 4000 blogs and we have medium term plans to scrape
20000 artists websites. So there is some scaling fun happening over
there.
The web frontend runs on Rails 3.2.2 and ruby 1.9.3p0. We love rails
but we are like shiny new stuff so we are switching the html rendering
from the server to the client. So on next release we'll be using
backbone.js, eco templates and moar and moar coffeescript.
We want someone that
* can code from wireframe to full app
* likes simple and semantically relevant html
* loves simple and smart scss,
* codes smart and small coffeescript
* can participate on the wireframing of new features with our
designer
* understands the basics of a rails/backbone.js/ember.js app and is
TOTALLY willing to learn more
You should listen to these people
