Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2014)

Thumbtack is a new way to find and hire local services like DJs, photographers, house cleaners, and contractors. Over 300k small businesses around the country have joined Thumbtack, and we're making real money in the local services marketplace. We're backed by great VCs like Sequoia Capital.

The team is full of down-to-earth, practical, and intelligent people. Everyday for lunch we all sit down to a meal cooked by our in-house chef. On Wednesday nights, we stay late for a hot dinner, some wine, guests, and great conversation. Sometimes we drink beer that we've been brewing in the back closet.

Ping me (chris @) if you want to chat. I'd love to meet for coffee if you're in SF!

IQMI is looking for experienced Ruby on Rails application developers in Vancouver, BC, to assist in bringing to market our next generation of SaaS based products. From desktop to mobile (web and native), you’ll be lending your knowledge to push out some truly great products.

We are an established Vancouver, BC based company that is providing data capture, management, authenticity, traceability and management reporting services to a variety of industries and value chains.

Employing desktop and mobile application channels for our clients and partners, we continually prove out year-over-year that our products, services and solutions provide game-changing transparency from producer to consumer, improve business efficiencies and allow our clients to have a smaller environmental impact.

As a Rails developer you should always be learning, you know and understand web frameworks (Rails primarily) and mobile technology quite well and are specialized in at least one area of the application stack (UI/UX/HTML/CSS, API’s, core, mobile, db, devops, etc). Working with others in a group environment and solving problems with efficient code and the right tools is your thing. Like the rest of us you will end up wearing many hats, supporting each other in areas such as solution design, ops, and customer support. Over time you will have plenty of opportunity to grow into other areas of the organization if you choose.

We are centrally located in Vancouver and, of course, offer a competitive salary.

If working with IQMI interests you, drop Jesse a line at jobs@iqmi.ca with your resume and a brief blurb of what makes you, you and what you would be bringing to the team. Feel free to include any links to projects you’ve worked on in the past or Github code you’ve built or contributed to - we want to see what you’ve done!

Cheers, Jesse VP Technology, IQMI
