[JOB] Post Zombie Apocalypse @Inspire9

[Nathan S]

Let’s agree on one thing; the zombie apocalypse is coming. Be it a Romero zombie uprising, fast rage virus zombie or undead 28 Days later outbreak, eventually at some point there will be zombies.

At Inspire9, we’ve accepted this fact as true. Vampires are so clearly last year.

But even with our steadfast dedication to the cause and our staunch ability to survive ourselves, we must concede that some of our kin will be lost to the all-consuming horde. Are you really as prepared as you could be? Are you REALLY safe?

Inspire9 is making preparations for World War Z and we think you’ll be interested. Why slum it in duct-taped shed with a machete when you can spend your time sheltered in a kick-ass converted warehouse with like-minded (and adequately-skilled) people, a pool table and appropriate supply of snacks?

We are building an impressive defensive position and looking to fill our sanctuary with the best of the best. The survivors.

After many difficult choices, it is clear that this haven must be filled with Ruby Developers.  And seeing we specialise in building apps for startups and new ventures, they have to be passionate about building for the post-revolution.

But don’t think just because you know the words to Ruby Tuesday and you own a flamethrower that you immediately qualify. We have standards.

To ensure your survival and warrant yourself suitable for defending and eventually propagating the human race, you’ll also need:

• 4+ years Ruby/Rails and 6+ dev experience
• Be comfortable working in an extremely open plan office
• Mad skillz with a pool cue (both peace time and apocalypse-ready)
• Open source/community contributions are serious advantages
• Heavily into TDD / BDD / ZDD (Zombie-driven)
• Full stack PROgrammer
• Extremely autonomously working style (solo zombie slaying)
• Experience pairing with other anti-apocalypse amigos
• Can produce beautiful frontends while talking sassy css & sipping coffee-script
• The flesh-hungry undead leave one thing behind: Backbone(js)
• Keen on NodeJS because it has a future beyond Doomsday
• Savvy with dev-ops - babs, nix, etc
• New population propagation means databases. Think Postgres / Mongo
• Knows the difference between single malt and single origin

This future sanctuary and last stand of humanity is based in Richmond, just across from the train station. Our slightly-neglected website (circa 2009) www.inspire9.com.

Send your CV, Github username and cover letter to hello+...@inspire9.com with the subject line “brains”.

This is definitely one of the more entertaining job posts around. More
originality than the usual Rockstar ones =).

Congrats =)
