This is a home-based, full-commissioned, independent contractor opportunity to sell an up-and-coming web-based software application to small and medium-sized businesses. If you think you could sell something like salesforce.com to the owners and managers of small and medium-sized businesses, this could be a great fit for you.

This web application is a new entrant to its (huge) market with big competitors, so this is a great chance to get in on the ground floor. You'll be the first person to actively sell this application, so your efforts could largely make or break this venture.

You won't get any base or benefits, but you won't be capped in your commission, your percentage will be generous, and you can work where and when you please. Plus, you'll have the option of residuals from sales, as I want customers to continue to pay the monthly subscription fee for a long, long time, and I'm willing to reward you accordingly. :)

Though I'm in the Seattle area, you can be anywhere you like, as long as you're willing to come to the Seattle area for an initial meeting and perhaps occasional meetings.

When applying for this position, please specify your desired percentage. Be aware that the application is sold at prices from $30 - $100 / month, so factor that into your response. There is also an option to sell the application for customers to run on their own servers, for a one-time fee, if you're up to handling that kind of sale as well.

I'm looking for a part-time (10-20 hours/week) Rails developer to be my first hire in my Rails consulting agency / product company. I build excellent web apps for clients and for my own products, and I need some help with the volume of work that I have.

Before you submit your information, you should meet all of these criteria:
- Have some experience with Ruby on Rails
- Have some experience with OS X and/or Linux
- Have a passion for technology and building great stuff

I will consider remote work for excellent (and economical) candidates who are in timezones +- 3 hours of US/Pacific, but I am more interested in hiring someone who can regularly work from my office in Kirkland, WA.

To apply, send me whatever info you think will best convince me of your abilities -- whether that be a resume, a link to your github profile, etc. I'm looking for someone who has an obvious ability to dive in and get to work, even if you don't have a long track record. Also include your salary requirements.
