Alright, all the job posts you’ve read so far probably talk about the need for good communication skills, team player, internally motivated, reliability, and so on.  Any software company would expect these skills from its developers. We’ve found that what sets exceptional developers apart is their problem-solving skills. How bothered are you when something isn’t coded right, or when you have a bug that is intermittent, difficult to reproduce, and needs to be solved? In other words, when the answer is not on Stack Overflow, how deep is your toolbox for solving problems? If you’re an exceptional problem-solver with strong RoR development experience and solid AWS engineering skills, we’d love to hear from you.
