Join a great entrepreneurial project to develop a new product, leveraging the latest web development technologies (Rails 3.2, Git, SaaS, Offeescript, etc.) for the banking industry. HCL is the leader in large bank loan origination systems, this new product will leverage this success into other markets. The technology is a Ruby on Rails stack and is being built with an agile approach. It is early, join this small team and get in on the ground floor. Here are our expectations for the right candidate (but make your case if you are close!):

* Strong and confident in Rails technologies. Should have an opinion about an already opinionated framework. Our team has several strong senior level developers we are looking for someone with real production Rails experience who will be highly influential on the team. This probably means one or more demonstrable production Rails implementations, and more than 5 years of development experience.
* Great front end skills. Much of our current team is strong in back-end skills but front-end, not so much. CSS/SASS, javascript/coffeescript, html skills and the ability to work with a designer (and even do some design) would be great.
* Comfortable working in an agile model. We are planning a kanban/continous delivery approach, does this sound good to you?
* Continuous learner. Probably owns many PragProg books, subscribes to RailsCasts, and PeepCode Has an opinion about what technology trends matter.

This is a great opportunity if you are entrepreneurial minded, stay up on the latest technology (not only Rails) and want a chance to build something with impact using that technology. We hope to build something that will change the way enterprise applications show up.
