Flipboard's a social magazine. Millions of people daily use Flipboard to read the world's media. We're best known for our tablet and mobile apps, on both iOS and Android, but as of a little over a week ago, Flipboard magazines are on the Web too:
Alongside all of that, we work with most of the leading publishers out there and we're making serious investments in data. (That's what I work on; I'm the product lead on recommendations.) We're kind of stealthily enormous; when it comes down to it, we're aggregating most of the good content published on the web every day. You like scale? We got scale. Languages; we do Java, Python, C++ and Go for services, Javascript/node.js for Web, ObjC and Java for mobile. We're using AWS heavily, and our backend stack includes MySQL/HBase/Kafka/Storm/ElasticSearch/Hadoop.
And more, so if you don't see you here, email me – andrew@flipboard.com.
On the benefits side: competitive salary, equity, 401k with company contribution, really good medical/dental/vision/life insurance, subsidized commute benefits, we don't track time off, most people work from home around one day a week, we'll get you whatever equipment you want (though I'd be lying if that doesn't usually wind up being a Cinema Display and a retina Mac Book Pro, even if at least one of us runs Ubuntu on it...), and we're getting terrifyingly competitive at ping pong. Also, as a bitter singleton, it sometimes feels like half the company is having kids. We're very family friendly.
tl:dr; go here, if you can do good stuff we want you: http://jobvite.com/m?34QnZgw1 or email andrew@flipboard.com
