Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hey, I'm interested in learning more about your work and the team. Just curious if this is your website - http://navahq.com/

Very interesting! Their website has a funny placeholder YouTube video and nothing more. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed a legitimate jobs email address? Couldn't find anything about them on LinkedIn or anywhere else and the article doesn't mention this company, so it'd be nice to verify since it sounds like a pretty interesting team to join.

Hi Stephen, I'm the OP. As you noticed, our website is in the process of going up, but isn't quite there yet :) We'll be on Linkedin etc once the site is up.

If you're interested in learning more, happy to chat - shoot me an email at rohan@navahq.com!

(Mostly Stanford, Google, YCombinator folks) We've learned a ton, and see an opportunity to create software that radically improves how our government serves its people - we've started our company, Nava, to chase that vision. In the last 6 months, we've launched 2 major projects: - App 2.0, the new insuran…

San Francisco, CA (SOMA) - Generalists & Android Engineers www.braintreepayments.com - kyle.barbato@braintreepayments.com

We’re polygots. We write most of our software in Ruby but don’t confine ourselves to using a single programming language. We use the best tool for whatever task is at hand. We pair program. We like object oriented programming. We test, obsessively. When we say we’re an agile software development environment, we mean it. We’re pragmatic, not dogmatic, and we value our people.

Take a look at some of our blog posts to see some of the problems we face:
