Overall:
If you are contemplating the position and not sure what to do please consider the following: We are a young and dynamic company making waves in the industry. We move quickly and have no intentions of slowing down. We are not just looking for someone that wants a "gig." We want someone that gets into their code, takes pride in what they do and is distraught by sloppy code. Do you take pride in building in writing extendable, stable, scalable code? Do you code because you want to not because you have to? You have come to the right place.
NO RECRUITERS OR COMPANIES MAY RESPOND! We want real applicants. We will let the world know via social media and blogging about companies and recruiters that respond without regard to our request and that can't follow directions.
Apply: REAL APPLICANTS ONLY! Resumes & Cover Letters are nice, but we are more interested in work that you have done. Send your stuff to rsherman [at] brand-yourself [dot] com. Please don't waste my time with a generic email that does not touch on my points above.
