About the job

We are looking for a developer that:

likes to think out of the box and invent new solutions
is always looking to improve an existing code base
has a bit of OCD for code quality
prefers to re-use then to program
can switch from big picture to implementation details
can switch between working independently and together in a team
works (or wants to learn how to) test driven, or 'documentation driven'

Code base

Our codebase has something for everyone. 30% hardcore Ruby, 30% Javascript, (backbone.js, CoffeeScript, Meteor.js etc) 30% Rails and 10% other code. We have DSLs (for our non-programmers), API, fast EC2 instances for calculations.

Things we did before:

Git as a database
Open source projects, such as our graph library.
Custom graph query language to extract data from the model
Massive processing within a rails request (think thousands of ruby objects calculating energy flows)
Visualizations with D3.
...much more!

Location

You live in (ordered by preference): Netherlands, Europe, World. You are ready to move to Amsterdam and work from our offices in the center of Amsterdam.
