Quintel is looking for an experienced developer in one or more: Ruby, Rails, Javascript (jquery, backbone, coffeescript, etc). You follow the 20%/80% rule, prefer to re-use then to program and seemlessly switch from big picture to implementation details.
We answers questions like: "If everybody switched to electric cars, how many solar plants have to be built?". It is used by governments to evaluate strategies dealing with events like peak oil, diminishing gas reserves and new technologies.
Quintel Intelligence is a charming Dutch (grown up) startup, with a central office in the center of Amsterdam. Our engineering-driven team (91% engineers, PhDs etc) get the work done during office hours, so that we can enjoy our evenings, sometimes together with afterwork-beers. The atmosphere goes from professional consultancy to monkey house in no time. The team is pretty international: Dutch (of course), Italian, Swiss, British.
Our codebase has something for everyone. 30% plain Ruby, 30% Javascript (CoffeeScript/Backbone.js), 30% Rails and 10% other code. We have good code, bad code, tested code, untested code. We have DSLs (for our non-programmers), API, fast EC2 instances for calculations.
Some of our products include: <a href="http://et-model.com" >http://et-model.com</a>, <a href="http://etflex.et-model.com" >http://etflex.et-model.com</a>, <a href="http://energyfuture.nl/energy-mixer" >http://energyfuture.nl/energy-mixer</a> (Dutch)
You are an experienced developer, you think lean and solve problems creatively. You're proactive, fix first, complain later. You live in (ordered by preference): Netherlands, Europe, World.
