We're looking for a badass Rails developer who can grow into a CTO-ish role.

Fleetio is improving the way companies manage vehicle-based operations and our customers love us for it. We're a fast-growing, bootstrapped & profitable SaaS company with hundreds of paying customers around the world.

Your primary responsibility in the short term (next 6 - 12ish months) will be to deliver on the product roadmap. You'll develop new features, enhance existing ones and squash bugs. You'll balance timely delivery of customer-facing improvements with solid architecture decisions and code organization, minimizing technical debt.

Down the road, you'll have the opportunity to be responsible for growing and leading the engineering team, defining how software gets built at Fleetio, and building upon the foundation being put in place today.

You in a nutshell:

  - You have deep knowledge of Ruby, Rails and other Web technologies.

  - You understand the balance between scrappiness and long-term code maintainability.

  - You feel compelled to make things look beautiful and work flawlessly.

  - You are organized, and take pride in abstracting and refactoring.

  - You are creative, ambitious and you get things done.

  - You are a great writer, a strong conversationalist and an even better listener.
It would be great if you also:
  - Know a thing or two about cars and engines

  - Have used a variety of frameworks (server side, browser side, or for desktop software)

  - Have a technical background: a degree in CS, EE, math, physics, etc.

I signed up for a marathon right before founding a startup last summer. Having a training plan and something to train for was great because it forced me to stop working and exercise on a routine basis. The running itself was great stress relief, gave me "big picture" think time and actually made me more productive when I worked.
