We are a small (<35 people) yet diverse group, easygoing and passionate about building something really great and useful.
We're located in downtown Mountain View, CA -- one block from a Caltrain bullet stop and one block from over 50 restaurants -- we never suffer for something good to eat! We have company lunch together on Fridays, often with guests from other valley companies and startups, sometimes followed by impromptu frisbee in the park. We're flexible when needs dictate you work from home (although you'll miss out on free dinner!)
Engineers get their own top-of-the-line laptop with 4GB RAM and a docking station, and flat LCD monitor for their desk. Built-in unlimited mobile broadband is a company-sponsored option. Having the right tools is important.
The company is led by an experienced executive and engineering team, and has raised over $17 million in venture capital from investors Benchmark, Shasta Ventures, First Round Capital, and notable angels.
