SEEKING A TOTAL GEEK

Pocketworks, Leeds, UK http://pocketworks.co.uk

Want to work in a small, friendly 5 man team? We're developing our own products with funding. We also create mobile and cloud apps for a select few clients.

We want a total geek who agrees with much of following:

  - I expect to earn £30,000 - £50,000 with my uber skills
  - I experiment with new technologies in my spare time
  - I’m at home writing UI code, middle tier code, db code, libraries
  - I think I'll get along great in a Ruby on Rails team
  - I write iOS or Android apps for kicks
  - I’ve played with Mongo, Couch and other storage tech
  - I want to play with message brokers
  - I love writing HTML, javascript and CSS
  - I’m far more comfortable having my code under unit test
  - I hate waiting for tests to run
  - I like the idea of automated deployment and CI
  - Every project feels like a hackathon
  - I’m avoiding contracting £££ because it’s more important to work with people and make products that make a difference long term
  - I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and helping out on boring jobs if the company needs it
  - Git is easy
  - I’ve been doing this for 7+ years. Still loving it.
  - I enjoy a beer on Fridays and bantering about software
If that sounds awesomeballs, send some stuff to tobin@pocketworks.co.uk

  - Github profile
  - Sample code
  - List of published projects you own (open source or otherwise)
  - Photo and covering letter
