HN Jobs

http://mailgun.com (SOMA, San Francisco) About us: - We're not "yet-another-email sender": we are busy working on "what's next for email". - We love Linux, server clusters, big data, distributed everything, task queues and network protocols. - Our favorite GUI is ssh/bash, preferably served grey on black. - We use Python, Flask, Fabric, Chef, MongoDB, Riak, Redis, Nginx and logic. - We have a hot key for everything. - We don't serve ads to eyeballs and we're not in the cloud. - We are 50/50 on vi/emacs and everyone is anxious to get to know you better. :) - We don't know what our code/test ratio is. - We've built a lot of great tech and we need your help to open source it. - Some of us have never dragged or dropped anything.

You've played with most and learned a few. - You want to learn from us and you have something to teach. - You enjoy writing and want to get better at it. - You've spoken publicly, it was scary at first.
