DocumentCloud is hiring.

If you'd like to help build an open repository of primary source documents for the top news organizations in the country, and release tons of open-source code while doing it, then we should talk.

Our contract from the Knight Foundation mandates that everything we create is open-source -- so far, we've released CloudCrowd (parallel processing for Ruby), Underscore.js (a functional JS library), and Jammit (heavy-duty asset packaging for Rails).

To be specific, we're looking for a Postgres whiz as well as a JavaScript/Rubyist to help build the Journalist Workspace. New York City is best, but we can be flexible for the right person. If you think you'd be a good fit, drop me a line at jeremy@documentcloud.org.
