Generally speaking, I’m a software developer, but more than that I’m a startup guy – a tech generalist. My work has run the gamut from running my own startup, managing developers and designers, doing product development, biz dev, and marketing, developing large distributed enterprisey Java things, developing complex and distributed Rails applications from front to back, and drifting into the land of design and user experience. Things that I really like: macs, git, vim, great interaction design, marketing, customer service, and behavioral economics.

I also love music, play guitar in a band, and take lots of photos. I am the CTO at reverb.com which is the best place to buy and sell music gear online.

http://reverb.com - a musician's marketplace.

It's cool because we're putting the care into hand curating our listings so that we have really cool collections (you can check em out here: http://reverb.com/handpicked-collections).

It's also cool because we're experimenting with machine learning (poking at prediction.io currently) to see if we can give people more of what they want. And we're building Ruby services and we have an iPhone app. And all this with only two developer, a UX designer and an intern. And it's cool because we're actually making money. And, we're hiring ;)

We're rocking the world with a marketplace for musicians! Buy & sell vintage and used guitars, effects, drums, etc. Launched in early 2013, we're funded, are generating real revenue, and growing aggressively.

We're working with Rails 3.2, Ruby 1.9/2.0 and domain driven and service oriented architecture. We're looking for Senior Rubyists and iOS developers. Competitive salary, stock options, insurance, flexible vacation, and a discount on music gear are all part of the package.

Developers with full stack knowledge or specialized knowledge are both welcome to apply. We want people who are product focused and self motivated. This is a tiny team and a chance to make a huge impact.

p.s. You get to work out of a world class music shop surrounded by rare and vintage gear.
