 | Founded in 2005, TechCrunch, is a weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies. Based in Silicon Valley, TechCrunch is the most popular technology weblog on the Internet and is ranked #2 on the Technorati 100.
TechCrunch is building a small but intense team of web developers to work on CrunchBase, our online database of startup, investor and entrepreneur information. CrunchBase attempts to structure the world of tech companies; it aggregates funding, acquisitions, products, people, investors, and offices via mashups and user-submitted data. We're all about opening up our data as much as possible; we recently launched an API that's taking off and gives developers easy integration and complete access to CrunchBase. Since its inception, CrunchBase has grown into one of the largest structured wiki deployments on the net (and unofficially one of the top 50 trafficked Rails sites). What's it like working for TechCrunch? TechCrunch is very much a startup. The culture is fast paced and dynamic with a significant amount of exposure to other startups in the technology industry. We throw big events including movie screenings, our annual August Capital party, and TechCrunch50. As for development, we work with Ruby and we work with Rails. We use TextMate, rSpec, Capistrano, Git, GitHub, Lighthouse and we practice 'agile web development'. We eat DRY code for breakfast, write specs in the afternoon, and deploy new stuff at night. Check out our interviews on RubyInside and FiveRuns' TakeFive. We blog at blog.crunchbase.com, and tweet at twitter.com/crunchbase. |
