Getable — San Francisco, CA

Getable is a small team (~10 people) working on changing the construction industry by helping contractors order and manage their rental equipment. We focus on producing high quality apps for three separate users: Contractors, Suppliers, and Getable itself. We develop our applications using a modular approach on both the frontend and backend, using a modern, mostly open source JavaScript based stack: CouchDB, Node, Engine.io, Backbone, and responsive design.

Our frontend is based heavily on Atomic Design and Development, using an open source library we built called Atomify. We optimize for developer happiness and eliminate as many barriers to getting things on production as we can: we don't have any build steps, we have a live reloading component development workflow, and we have tests that run as you write your code.

Most of our apps are very frontend heavy, but our backend is all realtime. We share model code between the server and the client to make interacting with our data easy. At the end of the day though, none of that is what makes us get out of bed in the morning. It all comes down to creating great feeling interactions to help our users get their jobs done.

Day to Day:

- Participate in the team's direction and come up with new ideas

- Build modules for both the frontend and backend. We embrace open source and modularized development

- Participate in and contribute to product discussions

Requirements:

- Have a passion for building easy to use apps for underserved users

- Love to write small, well tested components that can be reused in many contexts

- Have experience working on large JS codebases with a team of other highly skilled engineers

- Be able to work on both the frontend and the backend - it's all JS

We provide:

- Meaningful equity

- Better than average health plans

- Backed by industry leading VCs

- Opportunities to grow as a leader or individual contributor

- Fun and smart coworkers

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time positions as software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

  - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
    Recently, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap),
    Angular.js, QT and of course Ruby.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

  - We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
    to lots of cool machines.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

  - If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
    you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

  - A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

  - You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:
