Bonanza's core values drive our culture and growth:
Who succeeds in a culture like this? People who want to build things that have never been done before. People who get excited about empowering others. People who are comfortable with -- nay, thrive on -- rapid, constant change.
We believe a key to our longevity is pace. While some tech companies measure "employee success" by how much work can get squeezed into a 12 hour day, we've found our productivity is maximized when living a fulfilling life doesn't get short shrift.
Here's a sampling of the perks of working at Bonanza:
Since the dawn of software development, the ongoing struggle of Lead Developers and CTOs has been to time-efficiently understand what their team is working on, and somehow differentiate between the output of their most productive developers and the rest. It has long been assumed that the problem is just too hard -- coding & commit styles vary tremendously between individual Developers, and attempting to build a tool that can understand what's happening in the code would require teaching an algorithm to "think" like an experienced Developer.
And yet, that is the tool we've built. Now we need you to join us and take this tool to the next level.
Is this an important enough problem? Here's what a top result from Google (from Dev9) has to say about it:

Our premise is that worker productivity is today stuck at a local maxima. Our team is uniquely equipped to break through this false ceiling. The weapon of choice is to be used daily, across platforms, infusing GSD into both personal and professional life. It is at once straightforward and richly detailed. We're calling it Amplenote.
Why would we believe that something as seemingly simple (and "solved") as note taking holds the key to unlocking a new echelon of productivity? Think about the most productive person you know. Chances are this person juggles numerous disparate tasks, with more responsibilities shoveled their way every day. In spite of tens (or hundreds) of todo items, they somehow still manage to strike a balance between working on what is most urgent and most important on any given day.
At the heart of what we're building is the idea that "note taking" and "todo lists"...
