Original posting

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/ --------------------------------------- We are a small team of software craftsmen (10 of us right now) passionate about making people's lives better through software. A little bit about us: - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we're more concerned with using the right tool for the job. In the past two months, I've worked with Objective-C, Javascript (Backbone+PhoneGap), and a little bit of Java and C#. - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives, activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are rare by design. - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs. - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, 401(k) + match, quarterly profit sharing, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks. A little bit about Grand Rapids: - 2.5 hours from Chicago, 2.5 hours from Detroit, and less than an hour to the beach. - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA. Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43 - Affordable housing. If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC, you can afford a house here (or a much nicer rental). I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment drastically lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View. - A growing economy driven by technology, healthcare, and a growing list of startups. The energy here around the growth in technology and the support for entrepreneurs is infectious. A little bit about you: - You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it. - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required. - You believe software is written for humans, not computers. - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.
