Web Developer

At Mixlr, we’re currently looking to meet developers.

Mixlr is a platform for broadcasting and listening to live audio. We launched less than a year ago, and have a large and fast-growing user base including some of the world’s top DJs and radio stations. We also have an interesting and scaleable backend architecture which involves not only Ruby but lashings of Java, C and C++, with heavy usage of Redis and MongoDB.

We practice test-driven development, use Puppet to automate our server configuration and live by the mantra of rapid deployment: join us, and you can expect to see your code being put through its paces by thousands of users - within hours (or quite possibly, minutes).

We would love to meet developers with:

deep web development knowledge - most likely involving Ruby on Rails.
a strongly test-driven approach to coding.
a love for learning new skills and technologies, and the enthusiasm to break out of Ruby and try their hand at unfamiliar languages and frameworks.
a driving passion not just for coding, but for audio, music and startups as well.

For the right person(s), we are able to offer:

A competitive, full-time salary - negotiable dependant on experience.
Meaningful stock options.
Offices a stone’s throw from Old Street tube.
The opportunity to take a leading, hands-on role in building an exciting and ambitious music company.
