MapQuest is hiring. We're working on a variety of things besides getting people directions from A to B, and we are trying to do that with a minimum of drama and a maximum of excitement. Our headquarters is in downtown Denver, CO, but we have people working in NYC, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC and even England as well. We're #2 in the maps and directions industry behind Google, and are amidst a pivot out of maps and directions and into travel. We try to combine a startup's level of passion and creativity with bigco backing and an audience of 40M UV's monthly. You can see products we've released recently at http://discover.mapquest.com and http://travelblogs.mapquest.com, and there is more coming soon.

We have open reqs for Javascript developers, Rails developers and Mobile developers (Android, iOS and Windows). While experienced engineers are certainly welcome, we have a strong pairing culture in Denver and have had outstanding success with entry-level engineers over the past six months. If you've got some talent with web development, have a github profile and don't mind booger jokes, we'd love to talk. We have an online coding test at http://www.interviewzen.com/apply/3QPLHn that shouldn't take much more than 10 minutes.

I could post the official reqs here, but essentially, we're looking for people who are smart and comfortable doing a variety of things. We have web-based products written in Scala, Node.js, Rails, Java and even some C out there, and while we don't expect anyone to be fluent in all of them, we look for people who are willing to be flexible and excited at the chance to stretch themselves.

If you're interested, please give me a buzz - my e-mail is in my profile. I'd love to chat.
