We’re excited to welcome John Williams to the operations team at 37signals this week. John will be joining Joshua and me to make sure our servers and infrastructure are as reliable as possible. John impressed us with a job application similar to the one that Craig submitted and went the extra mile by driving 5 hours to Chicago to meet with us face to face for a couple of hours.
John has past experience doing Rails development and as a systems engineer at Contegix. He’s also a pretty good cyclist, and was part of the National Collegiate Cycling Association Track Championship Team in 2003 and 2006 while at Marian College.
He’s a great addition and we’re thrilled to have him join the team. Welcome, John!

John
on 17 Feb 10It sounds like you guys are “Staffing Up”.
meant in jest
Nicole
on 17 Feb 10Ah, yes – Marian College is a perennial track powerhouse. But watch out! The Rocky Mountain Conference is “training up” to challenge you!
Welcome, John.

on 17 Feb 10I’m looking forward to the new background music for 37signals apps. Tell him I loved him in Star wars!
Eric

Pablo

on 18 Feb 10I noticed that you’ve removed the “37signals is” in the right side bar. There comes a time when a company grows that it grows too big to be able to talk to everyone on a single day. Good luck with all these new and exciting challenges. Congratulations on another great hire. John, welcome and congratulations!

on 18 Feb 10I suppose I’ll never have a chance to work at 37signals because my name doesn’t start with a “J”.
