A partner and I incorporated a small web business (I'm not going to call it a startup), however I plan on de-escalating my role and responsibilities from a co-founder with 50% equity into more of a consultant role in order to continue to maintain the app. I'm hoping there's others with experience with this that can speak to their own and how it affected their business relationship.

I'll be shortly completeing a Rails app to help a friend implement his idea and another for a friend of his. Both are CRUD-focused with social/community orientations (read: sharing economy). I began my IT life desiging and developing static and wordpress sites in Chicago before coming to Portland to work with my friend and implement his idea in Rails. I've greatly enjoyed the experience and am constantly keeping up with new patterns and techniques and am now wondering if I'm at the point to solicit for junior developer positions.

To the working engineers out there, what know-how and qualities are you looking for in your junior developer?

A final note, I plan on sanitizing and posting these projects on Github soon as well, but wonder if that's enough of a resume. I'm also aware this is a frequent question on Hn, but feel there are always peculiarities on the side of the asker and answerer that may be lost in merely researching prior threads (which I've been collecting as well).
