Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (April 2011)

Just seeing a job ad that mentions CoffeeScript is fascinating. It's really a fun tool to work with.

Portland Oregon - AboutUs.org

We're looking for an Agile Software Developer and DevOps Engineer.

AboutUs Inc. is based in Portland, Oregon. Our website, AboutUs.org, was launched in 2006 and is now one of the most visited places on the Internet. Our team handles big data like no one else, yet there are just 12 of us working behind the scenes. You might be surprised to learn that we don’t work 80-hour weeks. And you may wonder, “How do they keep such a massive ship afloat without drowning themselves in stress and sweat?” Answering, “Because this place is awesome” would be too ambiguous, so here's a summary:

    Highly selective hiring
    An open, relaxed office atmosphere
    Emphasis on collaboration
    More windows than walls
    Ping pong
    Beer
    Laughs and more laughs
    Yoga

If you want your work to be challenging and your days at the office to be enjoyable, AboutUs is the place for you. Thanks for considering us!
