Nearly three months ago we put out a call for PHP developers with Code Igniter experience to help continue the mission of Flaggpole. As a result we engaged with two developers in the Des Moines, Iowa area, one of which has been able to assist with moving our project forward.
Making the move from PHP to Rails
What we couldn’t have foreseen was that in bringing on a new developer we would actually completely review our entire code base and reevaluate the platform we had been building on. With the keen insight of Eric Junker, a PHP developer at Dice.com by day, the Flaggpole team pulled the plug on our PHP-based application and has been hard at work rewriting everything for Ruby on Rails. What we’ve ended up with is a snappier application that has a great future ahead of it.
The future of our application is what brings us to this post. While our team has been heads down on this new version of Flaggpole for the past several months, we’ve still got a long way to go. That’s where you (or someone you know) comes in.
Calling all Rails developers!
If you are a developer with Rails (or another dynamic language) experience that is looking for a challenge and a chance to be part of something exciting, we’d like to talk to you. We would love to add another developer (or two!) to our growing team in an effort to speed up the development process and get our application out to our users quicker.
If this sort of thing sounds interesting to you, please review the “official” requirements below and send an email to aaron@flaggpole.com.
