Hello!
We are a small group of open source enthusiasts, working on an open source Management Information System (MIS) for Micro-Finance Institutions (MFI).
From Wikipedia: Microfinance
Institutionshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfinance_institution *Microfinance is the provision of financial services to low-income clients, including consumers and the self-employed, who traditionally lack access to banking and related services. * In simple words, MFIs provide financial services to poor people such as loans, insurance etc. MFIs are very operation intensive organizations and hence need fool-proof IT solutions. One critical piece of software needed for MFI operations is MIS which is the core of their business. This system takes care of a whole gamut of things for them. This includes banking software which takes care of loans & savings accounts. Apart from this they also need accounting, HR and reporting/BI etc.
This project is called Mostfit http://mostfit.in and it is available under MIT license on github http://github.com/piyushranjan/misfit. It is written in Ruby with Merb as the web framework, Datamapper as the ORM, RSpec for testing and Haml as the html templating language. Mostfit is also made available on a SAAS model to MFIs.
We are looking for two kickass hackers who are either competent in Ruby or are willing to learn the language . We are looking at experience levels of at least 2-3 years in software industry. This person should also be willing to put in considerable efforts to learn the domain problem and should not be averse of working in a start up environment.
Location is Mumbai and salaries would be comparable to market standards
