Squaremouth is looking for a Web Developer to work from our development offices in Fort Wayne, IN. 

The ideal candidate must be able to produce results, embrace constant change, and have fun while doing it!

Our applications are written with Ruby on Rails with plenty of JavaScript sprinkled in. We expect candidates to write Ruby code every day and incorporate dynamic behavior with JavaScript as appropriate. Previous Ruby experience is not a requirement, although we will expect candidates to learn the language and Rails framework. As with any web application, theyll need to build sensible HTML/CSS and integrate with backend databases. 

Squaremouth is a fast paced and exciting company that strongly encourages employee input and ideas. Our team believes in delivering perfection while doing less. We arent afraid to experiment with our work or our business. Our owners get their hands dirty every day and generously share company profits.

With this uniqueness comes the dedication to the Squaremouth way, best described as the constant pursuit of perfection, unfettered attention to detail, incredible customer service and a burning desire to do things better tomorrow.
