(October 2013)"]]>Neo - http://www.neo.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA. Columbus, OH. New York City, NY. Montevideo, Uruguay. Edinburgh, Scotland.

Looking for software developers in all of the above offices. Product Designers in SF. And a Design Principal in Columbus.

We're always looking for passionate developers. The bulk of our software development is Ruby/Rails and iOS. If this is your bread and butter, great! But even if it isn't, we'd really love to still hear from people who have experience working with other frameworks and have an interest in learning Rails/iOS dev.

The company is full of great people, who are incredibly passionate about our craft. In Scotland, we're super active in the community: helping run the regional Javascript and Ruby conferences, organising and sponsoring local user groups, and encouraging events such as RailsGirls. Our other offices are very active in their local communities too.

We'd love for you to take a look at the job descriptions on our site, and drop us a note if you'd like to find out a bit more!

Thanks.
