Austin, TX or remote - Stormpulse http://stormpulse.com

We are a profitable, bootstrapped company disrupting the $1 billion weather business with a unique, counter-intuitive product used by 6 million people last year. Our clients include many of the world's largest companies--and the White House bunker. More and more often I can drive down the road, point to a sign or a truck and say 'hey, they use Stormpulse!'. It's fun.

We are designers. We are independent. Our mapping and weather data systems have been written from scratch. We have a vision to take our product far beyond what anyone else has ever seen or imagined in the weather space, which effects every person on the planet.

Our platform is written in Python, JavaScript (jQuery, backbone, bootstrap), nginx, Postgres, PostGIS, Flash, haXe, MySQL on Amazon EC2 + S3.

We are Matt, Brad, Josh, and Bryan. Come create with us: founders@stormpulse.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Bloomberg is a big company; you should know that this gig at BB is the real deal. Andrew and his team get absurdly fun projects working with data at a volume and of an importance very few startups ever get to touch. They're like the Google of money. Also, I worked with Andrew at a startup we did in '00 and would easily put him on my top 5 people I'd want to work with again. If you're debating reaching out about this…

Good place to work, if being a maintenance programmer for a monopoly with a massive enterprise-quality codebase is your thing. It's _very_ different from working at a start-up, but probably one of the better places to work in the finance world.

I can't say it strongly enough, but the ability to be one of the diminishing few with a high ability to understand, debug and fix, large Visual C++ codebases, will likely provide you with a long career.

Not all of it is going to be rewritten in .NET, and every year, more of the C++ guys die or retire, and more people quit for .NET, or something easier.

Maintenance may be a dirty word in some circles, but for me it's more like an endless confusing puzzle, and stream of opportunities to make things better.

I am a MASSIVE weather nerd, and I live in Austin so this excites me, but alas I'm not a developer, I'm just an IT guy.

Good luck with your hunt!
