Inkling is growing. We're a small company which means a fundamentally different work life than trying to survive in a large company. If you are interested in any of the following positions, read below on how to apply.

Inkling is looking for a Rails contractor (1+ months) to work on some interesting projects with our current design/development team. We want people with strong Rails skills and who can write beautiful code, but we also really appreciate people who are good writers (substance over grammar), could communicate well with our clients if asked to do so, and have an eye for good design. We are working with some pretty cool technology over here, which has included building out our REST API, abandoning Subversion for Git, moving to Memcached and Sphinx, etc. and there will be plenty more fun things to work on as we continue to ride on the leading edge of what Rails can do.

Inkling was started in December 2005 through Y Combinator and in our humble opinion our service offering, Inkling Markets, is the best prediction market software service available today. And it has been that way for almost 3 years now, because it's easy to use, runs fast, and remains reliable (full Rails test suite and Selenium to top it off).

We're in Chicago, but you don't have to be. Position also has the possibility to become full time if you're looking for some more stability in your life.

To apply:
Write jobs@inklingmarkets.com with Rails Developer as the subject. Please send along a resume, references, and anything you think would help introduce yourself: where you blog, anything open source you've developed, your favorite beverage, etc.
