Your working philosophy is great! However, it's very difficult to determine from your web page what types of engineers you're looking for. Can you elaborate on the particular skill set you need, and a little on the primary technologies that a candidate should have in order to be relevant?

  Our approach to engineering is pretty utilitarian: we don't specialize in any specific technologies (though we do build a lot of Rails applications), instead we believe a good engineer will be capable of working on any stack. We look for candidates with solid fundamentals, and exceptional communication: because we're a small company, everyone here takes on a lot of roles, and strong relationships with our clients is absolutely essential to our success. If you're curious, capable, and intent on improving, we'd love to talk to you about what you might have to offer.

    Thank you for the reply! I appreciate the philosophy of hiring generally good people and letting them learn new stacks as needed. However, there's also something to be said for specialization. For example, I work in scientific computing and have never touched Rails. Even though I might be able to learn what you do, I think we'd both probably agree I'm not the right person for it -- so even just those few extra bits of info about Rails make it so much more efficient for both of us.
