You know what's great about writing software? You take something that exists only in your head and you turn it into something real. You create something out of nothing, and when it's thumping and breathing in front of you, you share it with the world. Do you want to share your ideas with the world?

Our company needs people who write code because they think writing code is awesome. We're not like other companies. We're small, we're built and run by programmers, and we're trying to do cool things with software. 

We'll treat you right, we'll pay you right, and we'll help you grow. In exchange, we expect you to put your heart into your work, to write great code, and to be reliable.

• Modern API development: allowing our customers to hook into everything we've got.
• Massive data storage and processing: keeping track of all data flowing through our network, processing it, and learning from it.
• Cool Interfaces: built on top of our own API and using our collected data to present real-time and complicated information to end-users.
• Serious Message Delivery: We send a lot of email. More than you'd imagine. And we're getting very good at understanding how to do it right.

• Implement a modern infrastructure using Ruby, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Linux, RSpec, and a slew of other common open source supporting technologies.
