HN Jobs

Software Engineer - New York, USA Patch.com is looking for both front- and back-end engineers. I'm one of the back-end devs there, and my job is so awesome that I'm posting this of my own volition. We're a rails shop that's really proud of our engineering team. Some of the things we built are: * Sunspot - outoftime.github.com/sunspot - The most popular Ruby interface to Solr/Lucene for full-text search * Template Streaming - github.com/oggy/template_streaming - Progressive Rendering for rails (which may become part of core eventually) * HTML Namespacing - github.com/adamh/html_namespacing - This is some craziness the likes of which I can't explain in a text area * Record Filter - aub.github.com/record_filter - It's like Arel++ for rails 2.3 Patch is a hyperlocal news site, but we're different because we have physical editors that live in the same town, covering it daily. We recently had (2 weeks ago) a media blitz where we opened our 100th town. Since then we've hit 130, so we're growing _very_ quickly. We're owned by Aol but we have our own place in SoHo, which means great lunch options! Telecommuting isn't an option, sorry. Send me a message! tomc{at}patch
