At Zeta, we are hiring full-time web application engineers and designers to help build next-generation social web applications, written on top of Ruby on Rails. Creativity, intelligence and ability to learn are highly valued.

If any of the following match your experience, we’d love to hear from you:

  • Ruby on Rails
  • MVC application frameworks (working with them and extending them)
  • Flash
  • Web application UI design
  • AJAX web browser client technologies, ie. – Javascript, CSS, DOM+XHTML
    • Right mix of static CSS designs, with advanced Javascript for user interactivity
    • Experience with libraries such as Prototype
  • Web Services
    • REST, HTTP, XML, microformats, Web API’s
  • Distributed/Clustered (web) application development
  • Languages (in order of importance): Ruby, Javascript, PHP, Java, C/C++
  • PostgreSQL, MySQL
  • Lucene, Ferret
  • *nix and Open Source development platforms
  • Gentoo Linux, memcached, Linux Virtual Server (ipvs), etc.

Familiarity with functional fields of research such as:

  • Human-Computer UI design, usability and accessibility
  • Social networks, Collaborative filtering, Reputation/Recommendation systems
  • Information organization – wiki, folksonomy, tagging
  • Information Retrieval – latent semantic indexing in document, topic clustering
  • Bayesian statistics in text classification
  • Data Mining

We consider it equally important that you share a passion for:

  • Creative yet scalable solutions in making things work
  • Cool and useful web applications, AJAXy et. al. like Google Maps
  • Being workaholics (without being a brain-dead zombie)
  • and most importantly, a vision for the future of the Web and what’s possible.

Positions are full-time, salaried and with comprehensive benefits. We are looking for developers in all levels of the stack, from browser frontends/Views (UI), Controllers, to Models/backends. We are flex-time and flex-location, but ability to meet in Vancouver is required. Great time to move to the best place to live in the world if you haven’t already.

Note (July 11, 2007)

We currently are looking for UI developers specifically, skilled in the art of standards-based cross-browser programming. Experience in building sophisticated yet easy to use web application interfaces using Javascript and CSS is required. Experience with Ruby on Rails is a big plus.

Note

Engineers skilled in Perl and PHP is also a plus.
