Ruby developer at theScore in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (no remote -- local)

We're a sports company (please, you don't have to like sports to work here)! We provide real-time push alerts, news, and scores to our users. We reached 5.5 million users this quarter (up 33% compared to last year's quarter) and we need more awesome people like you to keep it scaling up! I could go on, but it seems like that would take too much time. Check out the website[0] or contact me through twitter (@Nitrodist).

You would be working on the team that processes and provides data to our mobile and web clients (mostly Android, iOS, and an Ember app).

Our stack is basically this:

* Ruby (some sinatra and non-rails focused projects)

* Rails (a lot of projects)

* Python (one project)

* Angular (one project)

If you understand the importance of caching, have heard of Varnish, have used HAProxy, etc., we want to hear from you! If you've worked in distributed systems before, we want to hear from you!

Working here is pretty awesome... things off the top of my head that are great about this place:

* Personal top-of-the-line Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt display

* Foosball, ping pong, TF2 Fridays, beer, FIFA 14 (PS4) and Mario Kart 8

* Outdoor patio

* Watch sports games (liking sports is not a requirement!)

* We are publicly traded and make money[1]

If you're interested or want more details, hit me up with an email (mark.campbell@thescore.com) or tweet me (@Nitrodist). Also, please don't apply if you are junior, sorry :(
