Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles Area), also Austin, TX
TRUECar - Put simply, we bring transparency to auto pricing and so far we are getting a solid piece of a huge market. We just hired someone from an HN Who's Hiring post here last month and he's loving it so far.
* Java - Build our core framework. We're looking for architects who can solve hard scaling and big-data problems and developers who are smart and get things done.
* Python - Build our websites using Python with Django and Flask.
* Front-End engineers - HTML/CSS/JavaScrpt/jQuery.
* QA Engineers - Find the bugs I create.
* Database Developers - We store a lot of data on car sales, etc, and need people that can handle large scale date with a high volume of traffic.
* Non-Technical - We're also looking for account managers (in Santa Monica), area sales managers (in various cities). Contact me for details.
As I mentioned, we just hired an excellent front-end developer from the "Who's Hiring" thread last month. He's loving it here as am I. I found TrueCar at PyCon 2011 - come visit us at PyCon 2012!
The Python team in an open workspace that has a view of the ocean (http://picplz.com/user/dabent/pic/tpc4v/), and all the Santa Monica offices are blocks from the beach. They have great benefits, including company equity, 100% paid family medical, dental, vision, and a healthy 401k. They also offer gym membership reimbursement ($50 a month), 12 holidays, career training, 3 weeks PTO and have a kitchen stocked with fruit, snacks and such.
