      <title>PLANET ARGON is seeking fresh talent... could it be you?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;My blog has been fairly quiet lately because our team has been busy helping push a few big client projects out the door. We&amp;#8217;ll be posting announcements about those launches on the &lt;a href="http://blog.planetargon.com"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;PLANET ARGON&lt;/span&gt; Blog&lt;/a&gt; soon, so stay-tuned there!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve been growing the design-side of our team lately, but we&amp;#8217;re also still seeking some more Rails-talent in Portland, OR. If you&amp;#8217;re in Portland or interested in moving here&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, you should introduce yourself to our team. We&amp;#8217;re looking for people to work on-site in Portland, so any remote candidates will be turned away&amp;#8230; we&amp;#8217;re moving into a shiny and new office space in downtown and are looking for another developer to join our Design and Development team.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robbyrussell/1010617614/" title="Photo Sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1283/1010617614_25191cbcab.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="PLANET ARGON goes hiking" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;you&amp;#8217;ll fit in really well if you&amp;#8217;re into outdoor activities&amp;#8230; ;-)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;re seeking mid-level Ruby on Rails developers that can pick things up quickly. Having some experience with RSpec will go along way with us. Ideal candidates would have great communication skills and be able to work in a fast-paced environment that places a &lt;em&gt;huge&lt;/em&gt; emphasis on &lt;a href="http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2007/05/23/hug-your-designer-day-part-2"&gt;collaboration between designers and developers&lt;/a&gt; (let&amp;#8217;s not forget to mention our clients). Bring what you already know and learn the rest with us.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/123/345862990_d60db3c2ae.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;While everyone might have Wii&amp;#8217;s in the office, we&amp;#8217;ve taken it to the next level with Speed Stacking! :-p&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;To apply, send an email to &lt;a href="mailto:af22+8509@c1.catchthebest.com"&gt;af22+8509@c1.catchthebest.com&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Side note: We&amp;#8217;re giving &lt;a href="http://www.catchthebest.com"&gt;Catch the Best&lt;/a&gt; a whirl to review job candidates. If you&amp;#8217;re hiring people, you might consider giving it a try.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p id="fn1"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Everybody is moving to Portland&amp;#8230; ;-)&lt;/p&gt;
