Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2017)

Nextdoor (http://nextdoor.com/) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

I'm one of the co-founders and Chief Architect at Nextdoor. Our mission is to use the power of technology to create stronger and safer neighborhoods all around the world. Over 80% of the neighborhoods in the US are using our platform to communicate about the issues most important to them, and we've just started expanding internationally as well in the Netherlands, UK, and Germany. Founded in 2010, we're backed by Benchmark Capital, Greylock Partners, Google Ventures, and Tiger Global among others, and have raised over $210M in venture capital to-date.

We are hiring across the board, and growing quickly. A list of our open job reqs can be found here at http://nextdoor.com/jobs. In particular, we're always looking for great full-stack generalists who are comfortable working in an agile, fast-paced environment. Our stack is primarily Python and Go, running on AWS, with client apps built in Obj-C/Swift (iOS), Java (Android), and JavaScript/ReactJS (Web).

Our office is in San Francisco (mid-Market) close to Civic Center BART. If you're looking for a relatively small startup (we're still fewer than 200 people total, with ~70 in engineering) with an opportunity to have global impact, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@nextdoor.com.
