Were they looking to hire in the SF/SV area only? I enjoy these kinds of projects (though wasn't & am not looking for a FT role), and I know a few others who do — but because we’re not driven by the hype train, we don’t live in the normal ‘tech’ areas.
Further down the article I see they were on the 'peninsula' (not sure where that is) and didn't want to become a remote team. But if they weren't in SF, there must be programmers around who enjoy data work, not buzzword-tech?
