We're a platform for crowdfunding and sharing scientific research. Every day one new research project gets funded, and we have a community of ~50,000 scientists and explorers.
We're a small team that's fiercely mission-driven and user focused. We frequently meets with our users to go on dinosaur digs, redwood tree-climbing survey expeditions, ocean dives, and bird banding trips with our users, because our users are scientists.
Internally, our team has this term we call "jelly", it's the special feeling you get when you're interacting with and helping our scientists, and everything kind of comes together into this cosmic bliss. I imagine it's what astronauts feel when they look at Earth from the space station.
Our stack is a mix of rails, react, backbone, postgres, redis, D3, and more. Our engineering approach is focused on automation and scale - building platform tools for the community to support themselves.
The code you write will directly affect a community of scientists making real discoveries, like this article from The Economist yesterday (http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/2169585...). We're making history by helping scientists to sequence the genomes of every single individual of this endangered bird species (there's only ~140 of them).
We're looking for people who care a lot about science!
