We’re hiring a software engineer! Audiosocket is a tech company with deep roots in the music industry, and it shows. We spend our time tackling challenging technical, legal, and social issues for our clients and artists. We are:

A startup: We work hard, play hard, and spend our time passionately pursing our goals.
Agile: We’re not religious, but we work in a reactive, iterative style.
Fanboys: We live on Mac laptops. We’ll get you one too.
Rubyists: Ruby 1.9.2 is our tool of choice.
In the cloud: Our infrastructure runs on S3, CloudFront, EC2, and Heroku.
We’re building our tech team in beautiful New Orleans, Louisiana, and we’re looking for a full-time, salaried, local candidate (if you’d be interested in moving down here, we can talk too). We’re a small company, so you’ll be working directly with the CTO (@jbarnette). We’d love you to be:

Passionate about good design, whether it’s infrastructure, code, or user interface.
A generalist. Nothing is “somebody else’s problem.”
Involved in open source. An active GitHub account is a huge plus.
Comfortable with Ruby, HTML5/CSS/JavaScript, TDD, and Git.
Aggressive and opinionated. Find problems, dive in.
Experience with automated system management (like Chef), Solr/Lucene, node.js, audio transcoding and metadata, or Amazon’s AWS technology stack is a plus.

We like CS degrees, but we’re more interested in finding someone who’s energetic, smart, and gets things done. If you think you’d be a good fit (or if you know someone), drop a line to tech@audiosocket.com with “JOB” in the subject.
