Action Verb's Story
Action Verb is a bootstrapped, profitable company founded in 2007. Action Verb offers two main products: BrickFTP, a hosted file sharing service for business, and Vae Platform, a unique web hosting platform with an integrated SaaS CMS system. Our SaaS services have several hundred paying customers and a total userbase of about 7,000 users.
We're a small company (you'll be the 6th person on the team when you join) but we're at an inflection point where we're trying to grow into a more robust team.
Here's where you come in.
We just had our lead engineer for BrickFTP depart the company, so we're looking to bring in a replacement right away.
You'll be responsible for:
- Shaping (with management) the direction of the product -- determining which features to include, what to release when, etc.
- Becoming familiar with customer feedback
- Implementation and testing
- Performance Tuning
- Working with Customer Support to address any technical issues faced by customers
Basically, you'll be in charge of taking BrickFTP to the next level.

We’re built on Rails 3, and use DataMapper, Resque, Haml, Sass, jQuery, Memcached, and Git. We host everything on an internally managed server stack on Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS.

We have Continuous Integration, a full staging environment, and almost 100% test coverage.
