Love the fast-paced and creative environment of a start-up, but could
do with a little less stress and chaos? FreshBooks has been around for
more than five years now and has a fanatical fan base of over a million
people who use our groundbreaking web application. We need
fresh-thinking, disciplined developers who know their way around tools
like jQuery, SQLALchemy and RabbitMQ but also know their
enterprise-level design. In return, we supply a stable, creative
environment(want a Mac? got Ubuntu? No problem!) with a competitive
compensation package, and the sort of collaboration that comes out of
just wanting to get things done, not from the latest IEEE-mandated
"best practice".

You will:
Join our development team in designing and developing our popular
online application and the tools we use to run our business behind the
scenes — you should be able to figure out what that entails. You’ll
learn hands-on about our industry and our customers, and you’ll be
figuring out how to make them happy, and then going ahead and doing it.

We need you to have:

• 3 years’ experience building online applications

• 2-3 years experience with object-oriented development in dynamic languages like Python or Ruby

• Serious SQL chops and experience with an ORM
• Communication skills like whoa (you better be able to talk to
customers on the phone (yes, we talk to our customers on the phone))

• Demonstrated fanatical attention to detail

• No desire to waste our time because you don't actually have some of the qualities described above

We hope you have:

• Experience deploying and maintaining web server technology

• Familiarity with source control systems

• Some experience with event-driven or functional programming

• Experience with “Agile” development methodologies (whatever “Agile” means)

How to apply
Without solid, inventive development, FreshBooks can’t keep leading
the industry. If you’ve got a healthy skepticism towards buzzwords
(like, uh, “Web 2.0” and “Agile”) and big promises of how much fun
you’re going to have, but still dream of working on what can
legitimately be called The Next Big Thing, pull your resume or your
LinkedIn Profile together and contact us at careers@freshbooks.com. If
you want to prove you’re really paying attention, include a verse of
ottava rima with your application and you’re guaranteed to have your
application reviewed by our Software Development Manager.
