The development velocity of the (TWO PERSON!) team behind this app is ridiculous. They're constantly pushing updates, and seem to handle all facets of app development with aplomb.
No affiliation, just a happy user!
Lob exists to create APIs that help developers automate things in the offline world. Our first product was our Print and Mail API (programmatically send letters, postcards, checks). Our second is address verification, CASS-certified by the USPS.
I'm Lob's head of engineering. We are building an open, collaborative, experimental, evidence-driven culture because we think the best innovations will come from everywhere in the company—especially from engineers. Read more about our engineering team here: https://lob.com/blog/category/engineering
We're currently looking for:
- experienced software engineers who can lead entire projects
- a frontend engineer who can take ownership of our frontend ecosystem
- engineering managers who are technical, great at hiring, and have a track record of coaching strong problem-solvers
We hate contrived interviews, so our process rewards practical problem solving (based on real problems we've faced) and excellent communication.

Our first API was to programmatically send physical mail. Our second, announced 2 months ago, (https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/31/ycs-continuity-fund-leads...), is CASS-certified address verification. Our long-term goal is to provide the building blocks for developers to automate the offline world through APIs.
I'm the head of engineering at Lob. In between my last job and this one, I spoke to 42 organizations before I found what I was looking for in Lob: an exceptional team at the beginning of its growth phase, and also a company with a track record of being deliberate about its culture and which is intentionally building a good place to work.
We are a small and mighty engineering team with a ton of product and infrastructure problems to solve as we keep pace with rapid growth. So, we're currently looking for experienced software engineers who can take ownership of entire projects. We hate contrived interviews, so our process rewards practical problem solving (based on real problems we've faced) and excellent communication.

The original post is sensationalistic and massively overstates what's currently possible when it comes to micro-targeting.
I think it's easy to underestimate how hard it is to ship something on the scale of vets.gov from the outside.
Source: had early talks with the VA to join this project. I didn't, but came away with a lot of respect for the team working on it.
