We're looking for a lead full stack RoR engineer to help take our product to the next level.

Social commerce + community for the biggest spenders in the economy (parents).

Position is flexible--either in Palo Alto or SF.

Our mission and vision

- To empower parents to find and register for awesome programs for their kids year-round and build a community around activities and camps

- To empower small businesses to grow by reaching new customers and mitigating back-office headaches

About the Job

Camperoo is a Ruby on Rails application built on top of Heroku servers. We use github and Pivotal Tracker for project management.

We're seeking a lead engineer to join our team to help set the pace of new feature releases. We optimize for e-commerce as well as for SaaS feature builds. We're selling something that's $500, 6 months in advance, not-returnable, for the most precious things in someone's life (their kids).

It's a small team, so your impact will be huge, both technically and ideologically--as we're disrupting a traditionally off-line space. Health insurance + 401k and the ability to be LEAD ENGINEER! How cool is that?
