To:


We're hiring right now - planning to fill these roles in *the next 7 to 10
days.*  We're offering above-market salaries for exceptional technical
people - they can be currently employed or unemployed, doesn't phase us.
Give us all you've got.  See more below, and I'd love to tell you more in
person/over the phone.

Personally, I love the chemistry we're creating, and would love each of you
to be part of the community we're building around it!  (Also, we have a
starry sauna and hot tub in our office. Win.)

Please feel free to forward to friends, colleagues, and trusted networks
immediately - and THANK YOU!
