Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2013)

Whitetruffle.com is a game-changing recruiting platform that matches software engineers and UX/designers to great tech jobs and we’re looking for more engineers to join our family to help refine and enchance our proprietary matching algorithm, improve our UI, and lead the development of our mobile app. We have 2500+ companies like Pebble, Asana, Path, Evernote, Optimizely, Delve News, etc. who use Whitetruffle to source talent to build out their teams. The popularity of the platform stems from the fact that candidate contact info remains anonymous until both parties agree to the match, and you're introduced directly to the in-house hiring source (founders, CTOs, HR lead) so it's fast without any spam.

We're scaling quickly and need to keep up with our growth. If you have a passion for disruptive products and like coding, fast releases, cool designs, and being part of an energetic and smart team, you’d be a good match. Our office is based in the SoMA area of San Francisco, California, close to all transportation hubs and freeways.

Work style - “work whenever, wherever”

Workflow: Weekly meeting over IRC every Monday morning. Once a week team lunch brings everyone together to talk about the product, brainstorm new ideas, or share their crazy weekend stories. On Tuesdays we have a 1 hour product meeting over Google Hangout. We're on IRC all the time.

Push Process: Push to master whenever you want, unit tests run automatically and are hooked up to IRC; push to prod whenever you want as long as unit tests pass. QA on your own. It’s OK if you break the site from time to time, we like taking risks and prefer to push code.
