We're looking for a developer to help us continue to build the high level (Ruby-side) features of the Background Burner (https://burner.bonanza.com).
Spoiler alert: you don't need an established history of image processing to be effective in this role. What you lack in "image processing experience," you can potentially compensate for with "determination to learn."
This software has already been used to process more than 10 million images, but we're only getting started. Some of what we're cooking up for it:
* Improve the speed & accuracy of the front-end editing tool
* Increase accuracy of background identification for pictures of humans
* Work with CEO to build an image matching system to accompany the Background Burner

Bonanza.com in Seattle is looking for a full stack Ruby on Rails developers to continually improve the user interface, performance, feel, and other aspects of the site to make our customers happier, save time, and have more fun buying and selling on Bonanza.com.
You’ll be working in the full stack, from the mysql database up to jQuery and HTML/CSS. You should be comfortable receiving sometimes-vague bug reports, and having the doggedness to track down repro steps and make an appropriate fix. You should have the empathy to see problems from our customers’ perspectives and keep their needs in mind while building solutions. An innate sense of good UX design would be super helpful in this position.
Because we’re a small and close-knit team, attitude is a critical element in our selection process. The ideal candidate will be able to speak both "geek" and "human," and will approach problems with a "can-do" attitude.
Bonanza is a fast-growing (averaged 50-100% yearly growth over 5 years) and already-profitable company. It's fun to work for a winner.
In addition to a competitive salary and the typical bennies, we offer strange and wonderful perks like working from home every Wednesday, "Freedom February" (when we move the office to a tropical locale for the month) and on-site massage.
