Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles area) also possibly SF Bay area or other cities, but most jobs are in Santa Monica.

TRUECar - Put simply, TrueCar shows consumers how much people actually paid for a particular new car in their area, then guide them to dealers we've certified. We bring transparency to auto pricing and so far we are getting a solid piece of a huge market.

We're looking for Python/Django developers, front end developers, Java and Ruby talent, Linux engineers, and an "EDW SQL DB Developer," whatever that is. There's a lot to do, so if you're a solid developer, there's a chance we have a spot for you.

I moved from Atlanta all the way out to Santa Monica after stopping by the TrueCar booth at PyCon 2011. I started here a month ago and have absolutely loved it. I'm working with a great team that knows how to develop software and for management who seems to "get it" with regards to software developers.

The Python team in an open workspace that has a view of the ocean (http://picplz.com/user/dabent/pic/tpc4v/), and all the Santa Monica offices are blocks from the beach. They have great benefits, including company equity, 100% paid family medical, dental, vision, and a healthy 401k. They also offer gym membership reimbursement ($50 a month), 12 holidays, career training, 3 weeks PTO and have a kitchen stocked with fruit, snacks and such. I've honestly never had a job this good. We're also making money and recently got some really solid investment (http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/07/car-price-comparison-compan...).

If you're interested, send me your resume. My email is in my profile.



TrueCar's an awesome company, they host the SFRuby meetups every other week.

The people there are some of the most intelligent people I've ever met.

If you get the chance to work there, do it.


Someone downvoted this? Why?


Not sure, but you got my vote. Love your summary of the company mission. Also, I love that beach. :) Best of luck in finding a good teammate.
