We have a lot of interesting challenges--if you want to deal with tons of data and pretty high traffic this is a pretty great place to be.
We're primarily Ruby/Rails. A new project features HAML, SASS, and well-factored javascript. We use Scala for some heavy lifting. We use MySQL, Memcached, Tokyo Cabinet, and are evaluating Cassandra for our backend. It's a challenging place to work.
I wonder if PG should implement a feature for a regularly scheduled article for this question. The alternative is for one of the expanding membership of this site to randomly decide there hasn't been a discussion of this topic "in some time" and post this and get some quick points (not saying that this is happening here, now, but I can see the potential for abuse)
If that's you, email me at luke at eventbrite. Awesome, profitable, growing, Sequoia-backed company.
I'm posting this on behalf of my wife, but I'm sure there's some other people on this site that would be interested working for a startup, but aren't necessarily programmers or designers.
So, anyone hiring in non-tech positions? Ad inventory management, sales, project management, content administration... any of those jobs needed to actually run a site.
(Submitted this a few days ago, but it fits under this topic better than by itself.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Have you looked at http://thecrucible.org/ ? Perhaps they could put you in touch with someone.
Yeah, I did. They're more about teaching than putting artisans in touch with potential customers. There's nowhere on the site I could see to get in touch with community members. Kind of funny, since they proffer themselves as a community organization.
Webs.com, right outside Washington DC (Silver Spring, MD). Looking for a front-end developer (HTML/CSS/JS) - email me if you're interested: ryan@webs.com
Working at Webs, for me, was a life changing experience. They took a chance on me when I was young & inexperienced and really launched my career. It's a gem in the DC/MD/VA area. Great work environment, smart people, and an awesome place to work.
The man speaks the truth, people. ;)
Salesforce.com - Looking for a disillusioned web developer that just spent a year or two bootstrapping own startup but now wants to save some money, get some health insurance, and live in San Francisco. Build cool demos with me and then one day...go back to the startup world. You are 70% backend, 30% frontend. We'll pay you a lot.
We're looking for a good Flex engineer. We're an early startup and it would be our second technical hire.
