Renewable Funding (http://renewfund.com) - Portland, OR

We're looking for full stack web app Ruby devs, a QA engineer, and a front-end designer/developer; all for our Portland office. We're talking to direct-hire candidates and contractors. No remote work, but we will pay to relocate you.

We have a tight tech team of 9 that we're expanding to accommodate new projects. Our work is varied; from public sites (http://energyupgradeca.org) to back-end loan processing systems. We all work on everything and enjoy a flexible but focused work culture that emphasizes collaboration and professional development.

Our mission is to advance climate neutrality, energy independence, and green job creation through the nationwide deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency finance programs. We are venture backed and 5 years old, but we are still very much a small fast-moving startup.

This was worthy of a downvote? Why?

I'm not the one that downvoted you, but here's why: It's as groan-inducingly absurd as "how about you mail me a full stack of strawberry pancakes flaked with gold, just because I asked nicely?" It adds nothing to the conversation but a silly, burdensome request thinly veiled as a lame joke.

Fair enough.

Soon-to-be computer engineer here. If I applied for both software and hardware stuff would I be interviewed by the same people? In that case could I just apply once? Because there are lots of things I'd love to do for you guys.

Apply to either position and mention that you're also interested in the other. A recruiter told me that's the best way to handle applicants interested in multiple positions. I'm in the Boston office where we only do software, so I'm not sure about the interview process if you also do hardware. I would think it would be different interviewers.

Thanks, will do! Right now I'm pretty well interested in working in San Francisco, as Boston would be a huge jump I'm not ready for. The hardware stuff looks cool, but I don't know if I have enough experience for that (as usual). I wonder where people even start off with embedded software, since every job listing I've seen for such a thing requires 5+ years.

The funny thing is the MSP430 is more of a hobbyist's building tool than something I'd expect someone with 5 years to use. As a college student I've used slightly more powerful platforms, but I'd love to work with that. TI even has a nifty watch platform ,that I've been thinking about buying to toy around with.

Anyway, if not for that, there's plenty of mobile stuff I'd love to work on too :D Your company is pretty cool in that regard since you cover both bases, just as I do.

Thanks for coming here to talk about fitbit ^^
