We're looking for backend developers. Right now we're focused on ruby and python, but looking to get into other languages (see this speakerdeck[0] for all the technologies we work with, given by one of our devops guys).

Currently we have 4.8 million users -- about 50% more than we had last year at this time. We send over a billion push messages a year... lots of cool things going on here, in other words!

If you like sports, this place is great. Not a big deal if you don't, though.

Lots of perks:

* foosball (we have a league and it's serious)

* ping pong

* PS4 (FIFA and NBA2K are popular)

* Wii (Mario Kart Double Dash is the go-to game)

* various computer games (CS:GO, TF2)

* outdoor deck with bbq

* free snacks

* free drinks

* espresso/coffee machine

* top-of-the-line macbook pro with cinema display

Any other questions? Contact me (below) or reply to this and I'll try to fill you in on more details.
