We’ve been longtime fans and supporters of the open source community. Many of our employees, customers, and partners hail from the thriving open source community in the Pacific Northwest. Today we’re excited to announce we’re opening an engineering office in Portland, Oregon. It also happens we’re hiring.
Join Team PDX
So far our Portland team includes Amy Woodward (me!), Brian Ford, Gerlando Piro and James Rucker. We’re also looking forward to Konstantin Haase and Koichi Sasada joining us for the summer. Konstantin is visiting us as an intern from Berlin, Germany. As a student, he is already an accomplished Rubyist and will be speaking this year at RubyConf. Koichi Sasada will be visiting us from Japan while on sabbatical. You may also recognize him as the author of the virtual machine used in Ruby 1.9.
We’re looking to hire a few more devs, so if you’re interested in joining the team, let us know. As always, we love people who are as crazy about open source as we are.
OSCON and Cascadia Ruby Conf
Speaking of open source, this week we have a crew in attendance at some community events in the Pacific Northwest. First, we’re in Portland at OSCON July 25-29, then we’ll head to Seattle for Cascadia Ruby Conf July 29-30.
If you’re at OSCON make sure to check out Wes Beary's fog talk and Charles Nutter’s JVM bytecode presentation. You can also find Brian Ford who can tell you anything you want to know about Rubinius and the first ever #rbxday taking place August 5.
If you’ll also be in Portland or Seattle, let us know. We’d love to meet up for a beer or two! Get in touch with us via Twitter.
At OSCON:

Brian Ford (@brixen)
Charles Nutter (@headius)
Ines Sombra (@randommood)
Amy Woodward (@amywoodward)
At Cascadia Ruby Conf:
Shane Becker (@veganstraightedge)

Onward to Portland
We’re excited to continue to contribute to the vibrant open source community in new ways through our presence in Portland. And personally, I’m also looking forward to sampling all the local coffee, microbrews, and food carts Portland has to offer!

It's summer time, and if you're anything like us, you're looking for some sweet Ruby conferences to put the cherry on top of this already awesome season. We had a great time at Structure and AWS Summit West, but we're getting back to our roots and heading North for two great events. First, our very own Wes Beary will be presenting about fog at OSCON July 27 in Portland, OR. If you'll be there too, be sure to give Wes a shout. If you're able to and track him down, you might be able to snag some fog swag. Then, we're heading up to Cascadia RubyConf July 29-30 in Seattle. The event is going to be radical, and it will be held right on the waterfront in beautiful Seattle --get your tickets to attend, or hop on the sponsor bandwagon before the event sells out. Sales end July 25. We couldn't be prouder of our own Shane Becker and his partner in organization, Ben Bleything, for putting together this awesome event. The slate of speakers includes such luminaries as Jim "Big Tiger" Remsik and Rich Kilmer, and Chad Fowler of Living Social. Finally, we'll also be in Tokyo for JRubyKaigi July 15 and RubyKaigi July 16-18, and then heading to our nation's fine capital for JRuby Conf August 3-5. We're cosponsoring JRubyConf again this year with our partner, EdgeCase Software, and LinkedIn. Keep your eye on @jrubyconf for details as they emerge!more »
