  Heroku is looking for more DevOps people like me.

  It's a stimulating work environment with a definite
  alternative streak. The hours are flexible and the people are
  really pretty cool.

  They also have good snacks, tea and sandwiches. Coming from
  me, you know that says a lot.

  Please follow up with a resume to:

  Of course, I'm happy to talk with you about positions at
