Our team is ambitious but we keep things casual around the office. Our platform is built from scratch, and we're here to try new things.

We're currently hiring:

1. Back End Developer: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?cj=opcb1fwx&s=Hacker_News

2. Front End Developer: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?cj=o3me1fwo&s=Hacker_News

3. Flex time, unlimited vacation. Your results are just that.

4. Very generous and comprehensive benefits package.

5. We are a team, and we succeed or fail, as a team.

If you have questions, my name is Jackson and I'm reachable at jackson@streetcontxt.com

Since there's (at the time of this writing) 827 jobs here, I wrote a script you can copy and paste into the web console to search the posts (available here: https://gist.github.com/kristopolous/19260ae54967c2219da8)

There is both OR and AND support here. If you specify your function parameter as an ARRAY then it operates as an AND, otherwise each argument is an OR.

For instance, to see posts that are remote and python OR remote and ruby, you can do

query(['remote','python'],['remote','ruby']);

The return of the function shows how many jobs were shown versus in total. For instance, as of this writing, I get the following result when running the above function:

{ shown: 56, total: 827 }
