ToutApp: Lead Ruby/Rails + Javascript Position at Young Funded SF/SOMA Startup

Location: San Francisco, CA
URL: http://www.toutapp.com

About The Role

Join the ToutApp team as the first lead engineer. You'll be working side-by-side with our Happiness Officers (that deliver happiness to our Customers) and our Founder who has both a technical and business background and has built the majority of Tout's service. As ToutApp's lead engineer, you'll be taking the reigns on our full technology stack that spans from our core Rails application to our Javascript-powered front-end, our iPhone app, our Resque-powered background workers and perhaps even our .NET powered Outlook integrations (it all depends on how willing you are to get your hands dirty).

The ideal person for this role is someone that is looking for an adventure with a get-it-done-always-be-hustling attitude. In this role, you shouldn't be afraid to try new programming languages, or new tools, but you should always have an eye toward shipping product, delighting customers, and be able to make the right tradeoffs necessary to achieve that goal.

Technologies We Use

• Ruby on Rails
• Backbone.js
• Spine.js
• Redis/Resque
• Memcached
• .NET (for our Windows clients)
• Objective/C (for our iPhone app and Mac Mail extension)

About ToutApp

Here at ToutApp, we’re working every day to make email smarter and better for people in Sales, Business Development and PR. Email happens to be the #1 communication tool in the world, the #1 business workflow tool in the world, and yet no one has bothered to make it work better for you -- or the 200+ million business professionals that are stuck in their Inboxes all day and scrambling to make enough time to do their actual jobs.

We've been in business for over a year, have customers that love us, investors (including Esther Dyson, Dave McClure, Eric Ries, and others) that support and guide us and revenues that validate our position in the market.

You'll be working in our offices at SOMA with our small team. You can learn more about our company on the About ToutApp page along with a video from TK (the Founder) outlining the vision for the company.
