LAMP Front-End Engineer

We've just announced an opening for a Ruby on Rails/LAMP Front-End Engineer here at VerticalResponse. I'll append a straight cut-and-paste from our jobs page, and add that we're a leading provider of self-service email and direct mail solutions, we just celebrated our nine year anniversary, and our offices are at 2nd and Bryant near South Park in San Francisco.

The "legacy systems" include perl and php, plus a bit of python, so prior experience with those wouldn't hurt. Experience with Cucumber would also be beneficial, though it's not called out in the job description.

Our jobs page is at http://www.verticalresponse.com/about/jobs.html and, if you're interested, you should apply through the "Apply Now" mechanism on the site. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
