Hashrocket Chile

As many of you know I moved down to Santiago Chile back in October to start up the Hashrocket Chile office. Since then I have been working primarily with
Leo Soto.

In January, Thais Camilo

came over from Brazil and paired with us for a week, the outcome being that she starts with us here in Chile in the next couple of weeks.

Durran Jordan

of Mongoid/MongoDB fame will be joining us here in the beginning of April. (He is saying goodbye to JAX!)

So WOW, things are going great. A team of 4, I am soooooooo stoked!

But here is the thing.. Hashrocket is doing really well and we are thinking about taking on yet another pair here in Chile! If we find the right people of course…

The details go a little like this:
What we expect of you:

  • Passion
  • Aptitude
  • Desire and ability to learn and adapt
  • Experience in web development, preferrably with Ruby/RoR, but if you have experience, Ruby can be learned.
  • English communication skills. I don’t care if you say “she” when you mean “he” or other small understandable mistakes but we need you to be able to communicate. We pair all day, everyday and the primary language we do that in is English. Us native speaking English folks are learning Spanish too but our clients speak English and our US team speaks English so you need to be able to do so as well.
  • You must live in or move to Santiago Chile.

Things that help:

  • Experience with Agile practices
  • Spanish

What you (hopefully) expect of us:

Top quality, challenging work in a comfortable, healthy environment amoung peers. The ability to grow, learn, and shine. ** See My Top 5 Reasons I love Hashrocket **
We want our people to be happy and enjoy coming to work everyday.

If this sounds like something you are a good fit for please send your resume in English to desi at hashrocket dot com.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at that email or on twitter: @desi.

Just in case you were wondering:

My top 5 reasons I love Hashrocket.

5. In the morning when I wake up I WANT to go to work
4. Our clients are awesome
3. We work with really cool (and usually cutting edge) technologies – Ruby, Rails, Mongo etc
2. The company actively encourages us to be part of and give back to the development community
1. My coworkers are all awesomely smart, beyond kind, and fun people to be around. I seriously <3 them

Well that sucked but oh well

I have neglected my blog for sooooo long and have recently decided I want to start blogging again. Firsts thing first.. upgrade the ridiculously out of date blog software. Ummm yeah that didn’t go so well. I tried for a few hours to update my severely out of date blog and finally decided that there really wasn’t anything that important on my blog that I hadn’t also posted to the DevChix blog and well.. I just trashed the whole thing and started over. So if you are coming here looking for something and you can’t find it now you know why. You should probably search over on DevChix. If it was here before it will be there also.

Anyway so happy blogging to me. :)
