Job Description: Working together with our EDs and leadership across the organization, MoveOn’s Chief Technology Officer will vision and drive technology to serve MoveOn’s 8 million members. You’ll work closely with your own team of 2-4 developers (to be hired by you), as well as MoveOn.org Civic Action and MoveOn.org Political Action’s terrific, small (25-30 people), and tight-knit staff.

In full transparency, my wife works at MoveOn and I am advising them on this role and some of their future tech plans. I have always been impressed by how they work. The entire team is remote and the wage should be competitive for a manager level position - doing both some coding and some people management. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to me or go directly to the job post here:

I took my first programming class in college. I was originally going to be an english major, and then changed my mind. I went on to earn a major in computer science, have worked in the field for more than 6 years and was the CTO of a successful startup which I sold earlier this year.

I see no reason why anyone should be questioned for wanting to try out a course of study.

Congrats to the Caviar team! My wife broke her leg two months ago and Caviar was a lifesaver to help us avoid the boredom and monotony of pizza and Chinese food every night.

Fastly can easily be setup on top of s3 and we have been super happy with their basic layout and then their advanced features as we needed more (ssl content delivery, selective purging, etc)

This seems like exactly the sort of advice that is great in retrospect once you reach scale but is effectively useless until you hit that point. There are far more important things for a startup to worry about (product market fit, retention, stability) than how to make the tech side of an acquisition easy.

No worries! All of us over at PA were more amused/surprised by the analysis than reading malice into it. Just very strange to have it happen to you!
