We build tools for today's most effective mobile campaigns. Have a favourite nonprofit, organizing or advocacy group? They probably use us. We connect these groups to the people they need to make a difference.
We write Ruby, and use Rails, MySQL, Redis, Resque, and Puppet.
We receive and reply to millions of messages a month.
We're looking for all kinds of engineers to help maintain and grow our platform. We're looking to add Ember, Hadoop and an NLP engine to our stack. We release often and we're looking for someone to influence what those releases are.
I've been here 7 years and feel awed by the people I help and work with.
I moved to the US in 2006. When I was opening an account with WaMu the teller was very excited about the "online" bill pay service they had just launched. I became very confused when he was demonstrating it, because there was no field for the recipient's account number or sort code. I was even more confused when he setup a payment to me. It turned out that the system just printed out a paper check and mailed it.
