Be sure to mention it if you had a working knowledge of Ruby, Linux or you happen to be an SEO expert as well.<p>This position comes with equity; if we like you, we want you to be personally invested in making our company better.<p>We prefer someone in the bay area because we do our best work face-to-face.<p>To apply please send us a few sentences about yourself and a link to design that you think will impress us enough to want to give you part of our company.
