Portland is calling... (you)

We’re not looking for rock stars or ninjas at Planet Argon. ;-)

We’re looking for individuals that share our core values.

  • COLLABORATION – We believe that an open dialogue between all members of a group helps to produce more reasoned and intelligent decisions.
  • ENTHUSIASM – We recognize the unique power of people who are passionate about their craft. We believe that fun is an essential ingredient in a collaborative and vibrant company culture. We think happy people make better software.
  • COMMUNITY – We are part of many communities. Our neighborhoods, our cities, our workplace, and our professional communities. We give back to our communities by implementing socially responsible business practices and sharing our knowledge and tools with our peers.
  • VERSATILITY – We believe that it is important for our team to be open and flexible, as well as the work that we do. This allows us to adapt to change and encourage innovation.
  • EXECUTION – We value action and when people make things happen. It is important that we follow through on our commitments, plans, and ideas.

..maybe you’re a .NET/Java/PHP/Python developer (who secretly plays with Ruby on Rails at night/weekends). We’re looking for an intermediate-level Rails developer to join our team. Ideal candidates would be in the Portland, Oregon area or willing to relocate.

PLANET ARGON

If you’re interested, take a moment and introduce yourself.

Have my dream job! 3

CDBaby.com is hiring top-notch rails developers!

If I wasn’t so attached to working with my awesome team at PLANET ARGON... ;-)

You’ll get to work with the best technologies… PostgreSQL and Ruby on Rails!

If you recall, I conducted an interview with Derek Sivers and Jeremy Kemper on my O’Reilly author blog. You can read it here.

Don’t forget, we’re also hiring.

Join the Argon Team 1

We’re going to be opening the doors this summer and hiring a few more people to join our happy team of Rails developers, consultants, and deployment experts.

Interested? Great… send us a plain text resumé and a thoughtful cover letter to jobs@planetargon.com.

The catch? You need to be in Portland… or interested in moving to Portland in the very near future. We’re still a bootstrapped company so we can’t entirely afford to help you move to Portland… but there is a lot of work to be done here. :-)

If you’re at RailsConf… catch me by the EOD Sunday and introduce yourself.
