Good News, We're Hiring!

Headliner.fm is always looking for good people who want to make awesome software.

We're a small team with a big project and we're looking for smart people who get things done to help us build our application, and build it right. To make cool stuff you have to move fast and may occasionally break things. Culture is crucial in any organization, but especially in a small one like ours and thus make decisions based on our culture. We value strong opinions weakly held: Defend your opinion but be ready to change your mind in the face of evidence. We believe in science, evidence, testing and each other. If you're interested in working in an extremely low bureaucracy but high productivity environment, this is the place. We've got a sweet office that overlooks the East River in Dumbo (Brooklyn, NY), a fancy-pants espresso machine, and a really friendly dog, Luca.

Senior Web Developer

Our web app is built with Ruby on Rails with an awesome javascript front end in Extjs/Sencha. We use a continuous deployment server, Github, Linux, Nginx, Redis, Resque, etc. We vastly prefer open source tools and aren't afraid to work on the cutting edge. You must have code you've written that runs and that you can show us. Extra bonus points if it's an open source project. We don't really care what language it was written in (Nevertheless, we will try to not only run it but understand it). Send it over to us with an email briefly explaining who you are, what kind of job you're looking for and your resume if you've got one. Code is the best resume of all.

No Recruiters!

Send us an email, we'd love to hear from you!
