Hi all,

Like many others out there, we are also on the look out for Ruby
developers.

competitive with stock options.

and someone who is keen to learn and apply new skills and techniques.
 
You will have knowledge of, and be at ease working with, Linux/Unix
operating systems. You should be comfortable using the command line and
command line tools (for deployment, etc.) as well as being not being
scared of using unix text editors (like vi/emacs). Knowledge and
experience with more than one language a distinct advantage
(python/ruby/perl/javascript/erlang).

and Rails
Knowledge and experience with:
Version Control (Git) ­ Agile methodology experience (TDD/BDD/XP/Scrum) ­
Testing (Cucumber/Rspec) - Databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) - 24x7 environment
­ Deployment (puppet/capistrano) ­ CI (Hudson/CC/Jenkins)

We're looking for people who are:
- Enthusiastic and passionate about technology development with a ³can do²
attitude
- Have a passion for writing creating and pristine code
- Have Keen problem solving skills, and thinking outside the box to get to
solutions

About us:

We are an online social lending platform where people lend small amounts
to lots of different credit worthy businesses to spread their risk and
businesses borrow from lots of different people to get a better interest
rate. And because this cuts out the banks everyone gets a better deal.
 
We recently secured financing from Index Ventures are expanding
aggressively. Index Ventures isa leading Venture Capital firm having
backed a number of the most successful European start-ups including
Betfair, Skype, MySQL, Lovefilm and Playfish.
 
Techcrunch and The Telegraph recently named Funding Circle as one of the
top 100 start-ups in Europe.


This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a passion for working
with a nascent technology system in its early stages that has the
potential to underpin one of the most disruptive innovations in financial
services ever.


If you want to chat to me personally, I will be at tonight's LRUG meeting.
Red tee-shirt, goatee and moustache and relatively bald (what, there's
more than one developer who looks like me?)
