The Company

HANDLL is an early stage, Denver-based software startup that puts top social media content into channels for web publishers to display on their websites.

This includes writing Rails code, building out the front end, manipulating the database, improving code that exists, fixing bugs, solving problems, learning new systems, and making decisions that will effect the company going forward.

Required Skills

* Proficiency in Ruby on Rails. You should be at least a mid level Rails engineer (6/10 where 10 is superman)
