Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2015)

We’re currently hiring great software developers to join our team in Los Angeles. We will relocate folks, so if you’ve ever wanted to live in LA, this is probably the best opportunity you’ll get. (And if you never considered living in LA we’ll convince you that it’s the greatest city to live in.)

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

I don't have anywhere close to a living income right now, so I'm sick and tired of cultural fit. I didn't get into programming because I liked to spend my time filling out job applications. >:(

Also, last night I was at a meetup about Unconscious Bias, and "cultural fit" perpetuates unjust inequality.
