UpGuard are looking for all types of engineers to work on front and back end technology stacks to build our our next generation configuration & resilience platform. We're looking for smart, driven engineers that have a vision and the ability to build it.
We create enterprise software but operate in a more startup like environment with free lunches, casual work place, equity and a fully stocked beer fridge.
We've recently raised our series B, and are still at a great size where any new employee has a real impact on the product. Own your own projects from start to finish. Have a better idea of how to implement a feature? You're free to build it.
Everyone knows everyone here, culture is a big priority and we look after our staff.
Wow, really amazed with your app!! My catalog is 500Mo and was analysed super fast! Love the filters too and the ability to restrict the period (it would be even nicer if we could move some sliders to analyse a specific period). Anyway, this is totally amazing! ;-)

Now this is really, completely OT, but since you seem to be an expert with Lightroom catalogs, I wonder if you would know the answer to the following problem.
I had been using Lightroom 3 for a very long time, with newer cameras the RAWs of which it couldn't read, so I converted the RAW files to DNG using the Adobe utility. This was fine but used double disk space.
Now I finally upgraded Lightroom; I still have the original RAW files and was wondering if I could somehow replace the pointers to the DNGs with the original RAWs in the .lrcat catalog file; would that work, or completely break everything? (The point being, to get rid of the DNG files on disk).
Read the FAQ about how it works. It has a password. Also, this is totally free with no accounts or upgrades needed whereas noteshred is not. Also, you own noteshred so a disclaimer would have probably been prudent :P
This is just a weekend project though, so no worries either way.
My side project is gaining users slowly everyday.
It's called noteshred and it allows to you send people self shredding, encrypted notes with unique URLs, https://www.noteshred.com. I'm curious to know how you guys transitioned from a free tool to something that generated income.
I can't imagine advertisements wouldn't bring in much revenue, so how did you go about introducing a paid model?
I say yes, but I also use both Sublime and RubyMine.
I use Sublime when im mostly working on front end code, but i'll use RubyMine when im working on backend mainly because I get to use object inspectors, break points and step by step debugging.
Of course, if im just working on the front end of my web app, then I prefer Sublime as it has a much lighter footprint.
If you've ever coded in C# and used Visual Studio, then RubyMine will feel more comfortable when you really need to dig deep and debug something.
It's cheap enough, just get it, one day you'll be up to your elbows in spaghetti code and it will save you heaps of time, then you'll be happy you had it.
I do the same (I also use TextWrangler because of its awesome file search/replace features). Sublime is certainly a better editor and feels more lightweight, but the debugging tools in RubyMine are absolutely invaluable.
Can we have a price drop of the "Small" dyno then? I can pay for both a Cloud66 account and a Digital Ocean 1GB box for less than a single Heroku dyno. Im on the edge of switching, but I do really like Heroku and would prefer not to.
