Tourbuzz - http://www.tourbuzz.net http://www.tourbuzz.net - Atlanta, GA Tourbuzz is a leader in the real estate photography and listing marketing space, now serving 2M+ unique visitors a month. We're bootstrapped, profitable, growing fast, debt-free, and in a brand new office, all with only 10 people. This is a great opportunity to join a successful product team that's still very early and playing in a huge market. We are looking for full-stack engineers (PHP/Postgres/Angular) to help lead development of major new functionality.

  Thanks! C'mon back to Atlanta and bring like 500+ engineers with you, we really need them -- the ATL tech scene has absolutely blown up over the past few years :)

I'm a little confused by your careers page (mainly since you mentioned PHP specifically, which seems like it would be tied to the Lead Software Developer role) but there's also a Rails Engineer position mentioned so I'm curious about which direction the team is heading (towards more Rails or more PHP?). I'm mainly curious because I'm more of a PHP developer (but interested in doing work in Ruby and Rails too). Also, I'm currently in Georgia Tech's Online Masters in Computer Science program and am kind of curious about the Atlanta area (if you can share a little more about life in the city). Congrats on your current successes so far :-)!

  Our original application was build in PHP about 7 years ago, but we have code in a variety of languages including PHP, Flash, Java, Obj-C/Swift, Ruby, Javascript, among others. Today's software landscape is so complex that you're forced to use multiple languages on an ongoing basis. As we've built out additional services, it makes for a perfect opportunity for us to let our team experiment & improve skills with new languages where appropriate. We are very dedicated to making Tourbuzz a place where our team can learn new things and improve their skills. Sometimes it takes more time, but it makes the day fun and brings additional benefits as new languages and technologies teach you new ways to look at a problem. My experiments with Clojure taught me things that changed the way I approach problems even in PHP!

No H1B possibility? I really like what you're doing.

  Thanks! We haven't really looked into it recently, but I'm not opposed. Reach out to me and we can discuss.
