San Francisco/CA, New York/NY, London/UK Remote/Re-location OK, Full-time

Whitetruffle.com is a game-changing recruiting platform that matches software engineers and UX/designers to great tech jobs. We’re looking for more engineers to join our family to help refine and enchance our proprietary matching algorithm, improve our UI, and lead the development of our mobile app. We have 2500+ companies like Pebble, Asana, Path, Evernote, Optimizely, Delve News, etc. who use Whitetruffle to source talent to build out their teams. The popularity of the platform stems from the fact that candidate contact info remains anonymous until both parties agree to the match, and you're introduced directly to the in-house hiring source (founders, CTOs, HR lead) so it's fast without any spam. We're scaling quickly and need to keep up with our growth. If you have a passion for disruptive products and like coding, fast releases, cool designs, and being part of an energetic and smart team, you’d be a good match. Our office is based in the SoMA area of San Francisco, California, close to all transportation hubs and freeways.

Work style - “work whenever, wherever” Workflow: Weekly meeting over IRC every Monday morning. Once a week team lunch brings everyone together to talk about the product, brainstorm new ideas, or share their crazy weekend stories. On Tuesdays we have a 1 hour product meeting over Google Hangout. We're on IRC all the time. Push Process: Push to master whenever you want, unit tests run automatically and are hooked up to IRC; push to prod whenever you want as long as unit tests pass. QA on your own. It’s OK if you break the site from time to time, we like taking risks and prefer to push code.

Job openings: 1. Sr. Software Engineer (Machine Learning, MySQL, Python or Ruby, API experience a plus) 2. Engineering Director/Manager (Management, Python, Ruby, Java, MySQL, API) 3. Seasoned UI Engineer (CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, jQuery, Python or Ruby) 4. Mobile Engineer (iOS, Obj-C, Android, Java)

90% of our engineers were hired using our own product. For all jobs, register (build your profile) at http://www.whitetruffle.com/company/whitetruffle. If you’re a good match, we’ll contact you.

My friend used Crashpad to find a nice roomie and place in downtown SF, he loves it as he was able to expand his network immediately (http://www.gocrashpad.com/). You should first figure out where your job will be as commute options vary like bus, train, cycling or car. For jobs try Whitetruffle (www.whitetruffle.com), lots of iOS dev jobs in SF/Bay and NY. It directly introduces you to the hiring source if you are a match for the job. Good luck!

This seems like a good option as it's just cards and we have some already. LOL on the rule part, it does sometimes get too confusing. Thanks a lot for the recommendation we are going to try it tonight with our own team.

Thanks so much! Since we can't buy all the games, I am going to compile a list of these great games to give to our guests. It's a rich resource they'll definitely appreciate!

Wow this is super duper helpful! Thanks so much. We are hoping to host a 3 hour session, and then invite anyone back on a weekly basis if they'd like to play again. I think we can have a few tables set up so a few sets of games (maybe 4-5) are ideal. Each can have 4-5 players. We'll definitely try coolstuffinc.com and miniaturemarket.com, free shipping is great as I need to buy several :-)

I've actually moved twice and the company shouldered the cost (once from NY to LA, then LA to SF). Some startups and most big companies will relocate, and will also adjust your salary to meet the market value of the area you move to. Also, geographies that don't have as many devs will tend to be open to relocation (Denver, Austin, Seattle, etc.) The startup I work at (whitetruffle) just moved our full time NY developer to SF. He has been remote for about a year now with us working from home, and wanted to be in SF with the rest of the team. A lot of companies who are also hiring using whitetruffle (as it is a recruiting platform) have marked their jobs as "relocate OK" or "remote OK" and our candidates have moved from LA to SF, DC to SF, UK to LA, UK to NY, etc. It's great to be able to work face to face sometimes, so I hope you can find something you like soon like I did!

Thanks Steve, these are wonderful points. I agree about the style and like the way you mention the conversation style interview. In a company I used to work for, we'd make sure to invite the candidate to team lunch too to feel out the group chemistry, and instead of using conference rooms, when we had time, we'd take them to a nearby coffee joint next door to give it a more casual feel. I'd personally prefer a non-Q&A oriented method and feel coding challenges can only uncover so much. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for sharing, that's a really good point. Regardless of the size of the company and the basic screening on skill/team fit/culture, we've been recently talking about sharing some of our work process to see if the candidate is a fit in that aspect too. Other programmer recommendation is definitely key.
