Blurb (Ruby on Rails SF startup) is hiring
I don’t know if there’s a TON of great Ruby-on-Rails jobs out there, but this looks pretty interesting, I’ve personally used the Blurb service and application and it’s really quite impressive… it’s sort of like the books you can make from within iPhoto, but taken a couple of orders of magnitude more powerful. The finished products aren’t too cheap (well, neither are the iPhoto books), but are quite nice. I don’t have any idea how much RoR there really is to do, seems like a lot of the work is in their client, but hey, someone can contact them and find out
Here’s the posting, cribbed from this post at Valleywag’s jobs section (yeah, I know, it’s a little weird they even have one… what is the catchphrase, “reaching more rumor-loving engineers than Craigslist”?):
