Oh I checked these guys out once. Very friendly people. I ended up joining another startup but I might apply again here in the future.

I was just at their HQ yesterday - really friendly and open team!

I interviewed with these guys a few years ago. Nice people, good people. I don't have a web background but they gave me a fighting chance anyways.

I wish them the best.

Had the pleasure of meeting the cofounders at a career fair last year; really nice guys. A friend ended up working at WillowTree and enjoyed the experience.

Pumped for these guys. I had a few different interactions with them in very small capacities over the years and they were always humble, genuine and supportive of the different projects/businesses.

Just nice, smart, unpretentious guys.

Congrats.

Spoke to the founder recently chasing a job there, great team and a great attitude. Talented people should reach out!

I was there from the early days, but could not recommend working with this team enough.

Steli believes in continuous self improvement and I feel fortunate enough to consider him as a very close (pun intended) friend.

The team has seen at least one member leave to start a startup and then return years later. This is unheard of at this small of a startup.

Also years ago I convinced the poster (philfreo) to join. :)

Looks like an amazing group of founders. Good luck to all of you guys running your companies.

That's great to hear, Jonathan. I personally know two of the people on that team and they're brilliant programmers but never saw their view from the outside. I'm glad to hear you're getting amazing support from them.

If you're enjoying it a lot and love to program, you should consider applying there too.

I was fortunate enough to spend a couple days with these guys when I was first getting my feet wet a few months back. Although my chops weren't built enough yet for what they needed, I enjoyed doing a little problem solving with them and getting to see my first glimpse of startup life. They were super nice and they really had a passion and dedication for Mashape. It's cool to seen them finally launch.

I've worked with the CTO and some of the folks on their engineering team at a previous gig. Good engineers and good people!

mirsadm | karma 889 | avg karma 2.21 · | 2012-07-17 16:08:56+00:00

I met these guys at work at a startup. Before meeting them I had an overwhelming desire to punch them in the face when I heard they founded SocialCam. In reality they are really nice and congrats on the sale!

Met a couple of the ladies briefly at Startup Weekend TO and they are great. Wishing you all the best!!

-- FWIW: Interviewed here about a year ago - interview process was by far one of the better ones - their community guy Jason was super super kind & their CEO seems to also be a really good human --

I was in Grand Central Tech with the Timescale folks, became friends with both Ajay and Mike. Ajay gave me a lot of good thoughts on building my startup(thanks!), and Mike is..well.. just hyper smart. That is to say, I'm not surprised to read this and for what it's worth: they deserve it, really great humans! :)

Grats to Jeff and Nolan. Appcelerator was once an Atlanta based company and they invited me over to hangout in their office a few times. Very nice guys and a great product; always open to chat startups.

Thanks! We've met their team, and they're a great group.

+1 on Localytics. Interviewed with them a while go. Super nice group of people and interesting product.

Incredible. I know Adam (the founder), and he is a super terrific nice guy. Good for them.

Congrats guys! The Ridejoys are a really friendly, smart, and humble group of people. I'd really recommend working with them if you can, so if you're thinking about applying to their designer or software engineer job openings, definitely do so!
