Bungalow is rethinking the residential real estate market by providing renters with a more convenient, flexible, and communal living solution. The goal of Bungalow is to take the daily hassle out of leasing and keeping house — and give our members back more time to do the things they're passionate about. We give our residents a private bedroom in a beautifully furnished home, match them with other great roommates, and include utilities, wifi, and bi-weekly cleaning in their rent. Finally, we make sure to engage our members with monthly member only events giving them a launching pad into a new city or simply helping them meet more great people in their hometown.
Based in San Francisco with engineering based in Kitchener Ontario. We ♥ open source and we are hiring!

The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers. The majority of the PSF's work is focused on empowering and supporting people within the Python community. The PSF has active grant programs that support sprints, conferences, meet ups, user groups, and Python development efforts all over the world. In addition, the PSF underwrites and runs PyCon US, the primary Python community conference. Being part of the PSF means being part of the Python community. Recently we changed the PSF to an open membership organization, so that everyone who uses and supports Python can join. To learn more, visit https://www.python.org/psf/membership.
