LgDb.com is an awesome company with a bright future and a 
hard-to-pronounce name.
We are building a site to make governmental information much easier to 
find, and
professional tools that make the jobs of lobbyists and others 
dramatically easier.

We are looking for a Ruby developer who produces code that is beautiful 
to look at, and a
dream to run. That's what our small team has produced already, and you 
will be part of
this rock star team.

The last guy we hired had never been a coder before, but he taught 
himself Ruby in his
spare time. That's our kind of candidate. We have a very intricate 
system, and we need
someone who can adapt his/her thinking quickly to our system, and then 
be very
productive very quickly in that environment.

This job is mostly Ruby, but there will be a small bit of Rails work. If 
you don't know the
difference, please don't apply.

This is a full-time position, which can be structured as a traditional 
FTE, or possibly as an
independent contractor depending on what works best for everyone. Either 
way, you're
free to work at home, or in our office in Denver.  At least some of the 
time you will need to
come meet with the team either in our Wash Park office or in another 
office around
Louisville.

Requirements:
Practitioner of agile development
Ruby experience (or a strong background in other OO languages)
Experience in HTML parsing (Hpricot) is a strong plus
Unix proficiency

Please email your resume, and a note. If you have any open source 
projects or code
available online, please include a link to that as well.
