English Description:

Are you looking for a fast growing startup with a small team where you'll be given as much responsibility as you can handle? Do you want to be revered by millions of adoring fans? Do you want to be involved in everything --- brainstorming, requirements, design, coding, scaling, deployment, and operations?

Check out Shop It To Me, a small (under 10 employees), hot, profitable startup in the online shopping space. We're looking for 1-2 smart developers to help us build our next-generation shopping personalization engine.

We're growing exponentially, have been described by Sarah Lacy at Business Week as the "Twitter of Shopping Applications", and in just the last few weeks have been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America and The New York Times. We are growing so fast, we now need a couple key developers to help us!

You'll be working in a fun environment near South Park in SF with an all-star team which includes graduates from Harvard and Berkeley and with backgrounds from Tell Me, Microsoft and Gap Inc... Your work will be appreciated by millions of adoring users.

Requirements:

• Super-smart
• Experience programming in Ruby.
• Experience with web development (HTTP, HTML, CSS, AJAX, Javascript).
• Uber-Productive - can you contribute from day one and continue to grow into more and more responsibility?
• Passion for building a hugely successful company, not just cool technology.

Bonus Points:

• Knowledge of Linux, Rails, multithreaded programming, parsing, SMTP and related protocols (SPF, DomainKeys/DKIM, etc), SQL, Sphinx search, JRuby, Capistrano, Apache, Nginx.

Perks:

Medical, dental, vision, stock options in a rapidly growing profitable startup, fresh fruit, awesome location (South Park), ability to work with small super-smart team, intellectual challenges, hidden puzzles on website, millions of adoring (mostly female) fans.

To Apply:

1) Figure out what this Ruby code outputs

you=%W(SMART RUBY RAILS DEV LOOKIN FOR FUN TEAM COOL PROJECTS MILLIONS OF AVID FANS CHANGE THE WORLD );

puts answer

2) Put the answer at the top of your cover letter and submit your cover letter and resume by pressing the button below.  For bonus points, submit even more creative Ruby code that gives the same answer. (You can do that after you submit your application...).
