[LRUG] [JOBS] Rails Developer at The Amazings

[Oto Brglez]

This is a bit bizarre...  

Growth hacker: We don’t know what one of these does either, but every startup has to have one, right?

Why would you want to hire someone if u don't know what they do or if u need them? :)
U sure must have a lot of money...
