RoR Developer To Build Simple Daily Deals Site
DESCRIPTION:
We are looking for a back end developer who can build a fairly straigtforward website over the holiday break. We’d like to start at the end of this week, and have something live the second week of January. We are based in Washington DC, but can work with any one in the US. But please, only US developers apply. The scope is to build a site that allows customers to purchase deals, see their deal history, and share with friends their deals. The site will also allow businesses to see who has purchased their deal, and modify/create proposed deals through the website. This is basically a four page site for grouping daily deals and allowing users to by those deals after receiving an e-mail.
We have a front end designer, and are looking for the right person to do the back end coding. We’ll use the usual suspects for our work .GitHub, Linode or Heroku, S3, Pivotal Tracker, et cetera. We’re paying $1200 for the work, and it should not take more than say 30 hours to do we think it should take probably around 20 hrs. But for we want to do a flat rate of $1200 to start out. It’s reasonable to expect that the $1200 initial budget will evolve into a monthly contract for around the same amount.
So if you are in the US, enjoy Rails development, have an opinion on all these social deal sites out there, and are interested in working to build one, please let us know.
Please send us your contact info, portfolio, and maybe two or three sentences about why you love or hate Groupon and/or Living Social.

Freelancing is my life. It's what I know, it's what I'm good at, and I can't imagine doing anything else. You can call me "Freddie the Freelancer"… because I'd prefer not to use my real name for reasons that I'll tell you about in a moment.
