Job Description
Action Verb is looking to hire a full-time Lead Ruby/Rails Developer to join our team as the second senior engineer focusing full time on our product BrickFTP (http://brickftp.com) as well as Rails development responsibilities on our other products (both existing and in development).

[NO RECRUITERS, NO PHONE CALLS, PLEASE.]
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 over 1,000 paying customers and a total userbase of about 15,000 users.
We're a small company (you'll be the 7th 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 are experiencing rapid growth in our BrickFTP product and are looking to move to two full time engineers on the project rather than one. Additionally, you'll be backed by two rock solid dev/ops folks, a product manager, excellent customer support, and a killer CEO (that's me) that ties it all together.
You'll be responsible for:
- Shaping (collaboratively with the team) 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 a key part 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 use Mac OS and vim for development, but you’re free to use whatever you’d like. We run Linux (Ubuntu) on our servers.
We have Continuous Integration, a full staging environment, and almost 100% test coverage.
