Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)

NationBuilder is an online Community Organizing System built by a world-class team dedicated to empowering a new generation of leaders and creators with the tools they need to create a new world. If you're seeking to build something truly important - a genre-defining new product that is already changing people’s lives. Check out what we build: http://nationbuilder.com/mission

Software Engineer (ONSITE): As a developer you’ll help us architect, build and maintain our main codebase as well as ancillary services. You’ll recommend and implement system-wide improvements, new technologies, and contribute to our technological direction. http://nationbuilder.com/software_developer

Database Engineer (ONSITE): Come join our LA team to take ownership of our database systems, with a strong focus on our core PostgreSQL databases, and take our databases to a new level of scalability and performance. http://nationbuilder.com/database_engineer

Systems Engineer: Our operations engineering team needs a systems engineer who loves to code (think DevOps). You can work on a small enough team to allow strong ownership, but not so small you'll be on call all the time. http://nationbuilder.com/systems_engineer

Our tech stack is primarily Ruby on Rails along with some Ruby and Golang services utilizing PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Managed by Puppet.

We will relocate folks, so if you ever considered living in LA we’ll convince you that it’s the greatest city to live in.

We've got a ton of job openings; mostly in the Node.js space, but also for .Net engineers, Devops, front-end engineers, DBAs, non-node JS devs. Pretty much everyone.

I joined 4 or 5 months back and am very happy here. SF Office has a great nerdy culture; lots of tech talks, hosted meetups, engineer-friendly policies (sane WFH, good vacation, 20% policy, 'boyscouting' (fixing code unrelated to what you're working on) is encouraged). I very much enjoy working here, and I think most engineers would too.
