Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2013)

Rally.org - San Francisco, CA H1B Welcome

Rally.org is an ambitious venture for good. We make sure money flows into the valuable projects that improve our lives. Our platform today helps users connect and fundraise around what matters amplifying their stories to reach more people. We're proud to have raised the largest round ever on AngelList ($8mm) with a great team of investors including Kevin Rose, Mike Maples, and Reid Hoffman.

We're a small team of developers in the heart of SF that work across our rails stack, from optimizing relational database queries to building smooth javascript interactions. We work together closely, iterate quickly, and deploy to production daily. We're proud of our pragmatic culture and push each other through pairing, code reviews and speaking up. We use tools like Rails, Redis, Chef and D3-js.

We work hard and we have fun, too. Bi-monthly team dinners, in-office yoga & pilates, ping-pong breaks, and an unlimited vacation policy.

We're looking for passionate engineers to join the team. You'll be given a ton of responsibility, wear as many different hats as you want, and have a massive impact on both our technology and business.

Get in touch with us at jobs@rally.org.

San Francisco or Seattle areas preferred, remote with discussion. Full-time.

SF - Rails/JS - HALF-TIME with benefits (or FULL-TIME)

I mentioned a couple months ago that we have a few engineers who work half-time-ish (and do their own things the rest of the time) and it got some positive feedback: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5235860

We're looking to hire a couple more engineers who are interested in being part of a team but would prefer to work 24-40 hours per week instead of the usual 50+. If it sounds interesting let me know (ragalie@verbasoftware.com)

About us:

The college textbook market is currently being disrupted. Verba helps college bookstores transform themselves so that they a) understand and embrace the power of the nets, b) become agents of change in the textbook industry instead of agents of reaction and c) continue to make a healthy profit.

About 300 colleges and universities use our applications to acquire low-cost inventory and price textbooks competitively. Then millions of students visit our white-labeled sites to transparently compare the bookstore's offers against online competitors, and around 80% of students choose to buy from their local bookstore.

We're looking for people familiar with Ruby, Rails, MySQL and JS who can help us grow faster. We (thankfully) don't have too many scaling problems on the technical side, but we have a ton of opportunities (product and partner-based) that we could move on much faster with a few more hands on deck, and we're always looking for ways to provide more control to our support team so they can provide top-notch customer service.

The ideal person has strong Rails knowledge, solid testing practices, a good head for architecture and knows enough JS to help out on front-end.

We're also looking for a part-time designer/front-end person! If you have good taste and know HTML/CSS/SCSS inside-out, drop us a line.

And be sure to check out our website (http://www.verbasoftware.com) so you can read all about our current products and hear people say nice things about us. :)
