We are looking at growing the Mastodon team with two new backend developers. We are starting some ambitious projects and need help!

You need to have a significant experience with Ruby on Rails as this is our framework of choice, but we are also looking for experience in search algorithms, protocol specifications, Rust or Go and project management (this one to assist me in tracking everything we are working on).

If you are interested, please apply using the form provided in the job description.
