About Harvest
Harvest is one of the earliest Rails applications designed for businesses. We started as a team of 3, using Rails 0.14.1 (yes, we're now on Rails 3.2). Though we are expanding our team, we remain a small and focused company. Harvest is self-funded, profitable and has become an integral tool for tens of thousands of customers in over 150 countries. We write on Harvest's engineering blog.
About You
You have written a lot of Ruby and Rails code. Teammates look at your code for examples of idiomatic and readable Ruby. You have written quite a bit of JavaScript and even a little CoffeeScript. You write clearly about technical subjects. No matter the language, grammar and style are important to you.
About Us
We will work together in small, nimble teams. Harvest has been distributed from day one and you will feel like part of the Harvest family no matter where you live. Everyone has a voice and the power to make decisions that impact our customers and our teammates.
