You know what GitHub is, so I'm skipping the intro. We're the Notifications team, we power https://github.com/notifications and we're looking for new colleagues both senior and non-senior. We have some very interesting platform and product challenges we want to tackle this year. We're looking for engineers with a Fullstack mindset but with experience in either Ruby on Rails or Javascript (React).

I don't understand this industry anymore. If I have anything to say about software is that solving the right problems is the main skill in an Engineer. Then, figuring out an algorithm is the hard part of solving any problem, turning it into code is usually never as hard (except for technical nuances) and especially, not how quickly it becomes code. Not sure how someone can value "how fast can you turn algorithm into code" over "understanding/solving the right problem".

Ah damn, sorry, didn't realize the whoishiring.io will pick it up as such. Unfortunately in this thread you see often people asking the same question, but i should have clarified in a reply. Thanks.

I don't know how successful this public effort can be, but I think it's the first time I see a company using a long-form sales letter to find investors. I'd love to read an update from the people behind the company once they're done with their fund-raising and see what the results of doing this were vs. traditional fundraising.
