Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2014)

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time positions as software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

  - We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
    opportunity to learn. In the past year, I've worked with Objective-C (and Swift),
    Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap), Angular.js, QT Node.js, and of course Ruby.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

  - We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
    to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

  - Low cost of living. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

  - A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

  - You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile technologies.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:

With over $470 million in funding from some of the most prominent venture capitalists, our record revenue growth and impressive margins have landed us a valuation of over $3 billion.

Our products are faster than legacy storage, much simpler to manage and much more environmentally friendly, consuming only 10% of the power and rack space of the traditional refrigerator-size, disk-based atrocities.

Now my personal comments :)

Emphasis on C or C++ is a good thing; the core software is written in C++ and we do a lot of linux kernel work. This is the most sophisticated product I've ever worked on; we have a combination of cutting edge software design, truly awesome features to get the most out of our flash, and a dedication to data integrity that cannot be matched.
