Looking for strong Perl developers for a company in Hanover, Germany. They're stable, profitable and they've been in business for years. Hanover is a beautiful, bike-friendly, mid-sized town in the north of Germany. The cost of living is low and the quality of life is high. It's a green-friendly town and hosts one of the largest Oktoberfests in the world. While we're listing "desired" skills, keep in mind that the company is happy to be flexible on most of this so long as you can convince them that you can help improve their systems:
- You have a strong Perl, testing, and refactoring background.
You'll be helping them transform legacy systems into modern ones.
- You have experience with AJAX, SOAP, REST and other Web technologies.
- You have good relational database experience, preferably
MySQL (what a surprise!)
- You understand that Object Oriented code is more than just using
Moose or blessing a reference.
- Familiarity with Linux
- You speak English. German's a plus, but not mandatory.
- You don't drool on your t-shirt.
- A competitive salary and strong job security (always profitable,
very low employee turnover)
- Top-notch equipment
- Shared offices to two or three devs -- no open plan
- Offices in downtown
- Flexible and fair working hours
- 30 days vacation!
- Get sent to conferences (if you want)
- An active local Perl Mongers group.
- Lots of asparagus!
- 500k people
- University town
- Greenest city in Germany (forest, lake, parks, rivers)
- Great transportation
- Low rent and low cost of living!

Btw, wish you all the best in your recruiting endeavours!
For the Blue Card, you can change employers as much as you want because it's attached to the employee rather than the employer. Further, depending on the country, after two or three years, you can then legally take work in any other EEA country (except the UK, Ireland and Denmark, all of whom opted out of the Blue Card program). There are some technicalities involved, but those are the basics.
Germany's program is particularly great because you can get a permanent residency permit after only two years if you learn German (to a B2 level, I think), or after three years if you don't speak German. In other words, it's a permanent entry into the EU. I'm an American living in France and I'm married to a French woman, so I don't have to worry, but otherwise, I'd apply for the Blue Card in a heartbeat!
Another scenario - I'm a contractor/freelancer working for some non-EU company, but just want to live some period in EU, without changing a job. (Reasons could be e.g. a better school for children, etc..)
Keep in mind that the German government has been tweaking the Blue Card law, so you probably want to reverify what I've said if you go that route. That being said, I just received a PM on Reddit from someone who moved to Germany after seeing a post I made about the Blue Card and they just got a job offer. They're going to sign and apply for their Blue Card with that contract.
Taste of German humor? :) Kidding aside, Good Luck with your search.
I wonder if I should apply anyway lol. It sounds like a dream job.
We want developers who like to have fun and socialize outside of work, but care about their jobs, too. We're looking for UX designers, front-end and back-end developers.
UX designer: use Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever makes your socks roll up and down and you know how to make Web and/or mobile applications work for customers. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS also needed.
Front-end developer: you can make Web sites do exactly what you want them to do, regardless of the browser or operating system the web site is running on. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS required.
Back-end developers: you know what it takes to power the back-end of large web sites. You understand scalability issues and can explain the difference between an inner and outer join. You know what O(log N) is and why it's important. Your programming language history isn't important because you're good enough to learn a new language if needed.
All positions: not looking for rock stars. Looking for competent technical talent who are willing to move to Europe (unless you're already here). We have many expats working here and we'll even help pay for Dutch lessons, if you want them.
We also like people who understand business because you'll be expected to make many of your own decisions without having to ask permission from management for every little thing that you do. You will have the power to get stuff done, work with a great bunch of people and be able to spend your five weeks of vacation time cruising across Europe and discovering why Amsterdam is such a beautiful city.

It seems to almost be a common denominator that when Dutch companies stop valuing their employees (treat them badly, seeing them as expenses, etc.) they start abusing this tax reduction to recruit cheap foreign labour; often after they've burned their bridges in the small and tightly-knit local tech community.
So ... If you're a foreigner and are considering moving to the Netherlands, be careful with companies where the majority of employees is not native, since there's a good change you won't get to experience the respectful work culture Dutch companies are generally famous for.
If you're already used to a culture with a greater power-distance (e.g. Russia, US, India) it might still not be all that bad for you though and either way it's pretty easy to find good jobs elsewhere once you're in the country.
What is sad though is Ovid-who is a reputable member of the Perl community, still recruits for them despite having worked for Booking and got burnt out for exactly those reasons that the blog talks about.
First, it should be clear that for obvious reasons, I can't identify the company in question. My wife and I are starting a company trying to help people live their dream of living in other countries and that's a very hard thing to do. You (if you're really brian) know that I write http://www.overseas-exile.com/ and I've been writing that for years trying to help people move abroad because I love being an expat. We created this company because now we have a chance to really help people do what I'm so passionate about, but when someone tears down our work it also threatens to take away another chance for people to experience life abroad. The fact that we're doing this with IT companies is almost incidental: it's our background and it's what we know best.
What we don't do is throw CVs at a company without telling the candidate what the location and the company are like because it's important for the candidate to decide for themselves, rather than simply rely on rumors. We get to know the companies we work with so we can make sure that the candidate is happy with the company and the company is happy with the candidate. Everyone we've helped move abroad has thanked us and I don't believe anyone has any illusions that we're promising them a gold-plated Ferrari and a personal masseuse.
Regarding your comments about Booking.com and my reasons for leaving, people have asked and I publicly stated my reasons at http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2011/12/moving-to-paris.htm.... However, I was very cagey about that because much of the reason was intensely personal and nobody's darned business, but since you're attacking me by saying it's a "sad" thing I'm doing, I'll say it now: my wife had just had a baby, was very tired, and wanted to move back to her home country. I love my wife very dearly and I would do anything to help her. So off to France we went. Making a decision to move to another country is very hard and there are always many factors that come into play, but that was the primary reason and I've already told a few people about it privately, but I didn't shout it from the rooftops because it's nobody's business that my wife was tired and wanted to go home. Did I gripe about other issues from time to time? Sure, everyone does. But my primary motivation was my wife and daughter and it worked: my wife is very happy.
There are still plenty of well-known senior Perl developers who are at Booking.com: Yves, Rafael, Ævar, and many others who are known by first name to much of the community. Booking.com isn't a good fit for everyone, and not everyone is good fit for Booking.com -- that describes every business on the planet.
I also see that you linked to that "truth about Booking.com" post. I've never publicly commented on that simply because people have strong feelings about that company and just like vi versus emacs, I saw no point in wading into the debate.
So I'll say this about that post: that was clearly an anonymous disgruntled employee and that should be a warning sign to anyone who read it. Whoever they are, they've never been willing to stand up and take responsibility for their words, though if they're still working there, I could understand why. Their post was a mixture of truths, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. Plus, I felt there was a lot of lying by omission. Note how many Booking employees responded (all but one of whom I know personally). They were honest about the company and generally positive about it. Some people don't understand why so many extremely talented Perl developers are happy to work there, but that alone should give people pause.
By now most people probably know that Booking.com isn't a "modern Perl" shop, but they're not "treating their employees like dogs". They're extremely business-oriented and while I don't always agree with their decisions, the fact that they've managed to become one of the largest internet properties on the planet says something about what they're doing right. And if you work for them and do well, you'll get plenty of advancement opportunities if you want it. And I also know plenty of programmers working for them who have earned fantastic bonuses by producing great results. They pay a fair salary for Amsterdam, bonuses, and if you qualify for the Dutch 30% ruling, you get an extra several hundred euros a month.
TL;DR: They're not for everyone, but the rumor mill is just that: a rumor factory.
As you can imagine, we get a lot of email for these positions, but to the best of my knowledge, we've never missed one before (but obviously, if we did miss a candidate, we wouldn't know, would we?). Now that I've located your initial April 3rd email, we'll get in touch, but obviously if you're not still interested, we understand.
Again, my sincerest apologies.
It seems obvious that he is a disgruntled ex-employee so you should take his statements with a grain of salt, but since I don't see any reason for hellbanning him for that (maybe he got too many flags?,) so I'm reposting them there.
------------
I am not Brian D Foy so stop maligning his name. Brian D Foy doesn't work for Booking and he never has.
Booking tries to keep the big names you mentioned happy so that they don't spill the beans. These names get the best development projects and the big money. One of their job responsibilities as a senior developer is to advertise and say good things about the company. I concur with you that they play this game well. In fact open praise in developer forums about the company is a sure way to land good bonus.
They make tonnes of money but none of that is shared with the developers although they put up with the grunge work of fixing one of the worst Perl code in the industry patched up by people who left in a hurry.
I speak for those who are going to leave their family, friends at home with the hopes that they would be doing good work based on the big names working there only to find that the reality is totally different.
The treatment meted out to the rest of the developers is shameful and you know it and the Perl blog mentions all the pain points.
The expats do not know the local employment laws of Netherlands and Booking.com fully exploits this to the hilt.
And the truth can be found out easily from people who left the company and who currently do not get a direct/indirect monetary benefit of saying good things about the company, and given that you are recruiting for them and get approximately thousand Euro atleast for every successful lead, it disqualifies you.
------------
The Netherlands has employee friendly policies. After three years in a company, employees automatically get an "indefinite" contract. An "indefinite" contract ensures that the employer cannot kick out the employee on a whim unlike in the US.
Good Dutch companies give out indefinite contract to the expats at the beginning of their employment itself but not Booking.com.
Booking.com gives out a 1 year contract to start with and after every 2 years kicks out its developers and gets new ones. So the frequent hiring you see is one of the side-effects of this cheap policy. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big names Curtis "Ovid" Poe mentioned jumps on this mailing list to say - "not me", but the truth is this is their cheap game.
So after two years the delta of ones career capital can be summed up as:
1. experience in copy pasting code and cargo culting which would translate to nothing when you try out for another job.
2. no monetary benefit. Booking has the most underpaid developers in the industry. Those bonuses they promise never come. Given how expensive Amsterdam is, one wouldn't have saved up a penny after two years and if you have a family you might end up in debt.
In short one is ruining his/her best two years without any increase in career capital or monetary standing.
You might certainly say they are not a good fit for everyone, but I think when someone in HN community is looking for a job change, I am sure they are also looking at the other "intangible"/not-so-obvious aspects. Like: does the company treat every employee respectfully? Do they provide the right environment where even the underdog can excel? They can be business minded, but do they understand their core cannot be culturally immoral?
On all counts Booking has fell short to me (just from your justification).
Sad but true.
They were fairly up front about their business-first mentality, and otherwise did make a convincing case for having interesting & challenging work available at all ends of the stack.
Downsides obviously being that pay is low relative to SF, and housing in Amsterdam is not particularly cheap. The city is also not for everyone, more so than most places. However, from a tech POV I don't think I would have been bored. Can't speak to the office culture, but I didn't get any scary vibes.
Looking for a Javascript developer with some Haskell understanding and an interest in doing growth related work with me at a ~10 people startup.

This position is based out of Philadelphia, PA and located conveniently by 30th Street Station. We have a beautiful view of the city line, art museum, and we're part of the heart of the growing Philadelphia technical community. We offer relocation assitance and can even provide temporary company housing.
For anyone that sees this, I also work at 50onRed as the Director of Product and am hiring someone for my team.
As Wellington said, 50onRed operates an ad network that serves billions of requests per day. To support those operations we also build dashboard and campaign management interfaces that are used by 1,000's of advertisers.
One unique thing we have to offer at 50onRed is that the product team is given a lot of freedom to drive the product based on customer needs, feedback, and data we collect on usage and engagement. And it's not just lip service! So, with that being said, the product team houses product managers, community managers, UX engineers, and now we are looking for a front-end developer.
Why is it cool to be on the product team? If you have a strong opinion on something the product should do, you no longer need to worry about your boss in engineering telling you no because it's a PITA due to some backend reasons. Now, the product team will have your back and work on getting any changes implemented to get what you need done.
What will the front-end developer do? You will be an EXPERT in javascript, html, and css. And not building simple jQuery toggles or copy pasting some code from stackoverflow. Our dashboards are moving quickly towards being more "AJAX-y". To help with the amount of JS, we are creating re-usable javascript widgets that can be used across different parts of the app. You should understand the implications of different JS decisions on browser performance, flexibility of how the widget can be used in different scenarious, etc. You can take a mockup from our UX Engineer (that was created after discussions with you, of course) and code it up with ease.
Why 50? Because you want to make decisions that impact 1,000's of customers in your first week. We push code frequently and test how it's used by our customers. We get feedback from our customers instantly. You want to take ownership and drive a product to be better. Do you think we should be a one page web app and use Angular? Great, sell us on it and let's do it. You think Prototype is 100x better than jQuery? Ok, then sell us on that instead. (Might be hard!) But... the point is that we are open to using any technology that is right for the job as long as it is the right business decision. No emotional attachments to code.
Email frank@50onred.com, I'd love to talk to you if you think you'd be a good fit.

Software Developers. You will be expected to write Clojure for the majority of your work, whether that is delivering web services to power our internal tools and external products, or writing code to query our Hadoop cluster through Cascalog.
Client-side Developers. Must have good working knowledge of CoffeeScript and a desire to write rich, visual, responsive applications which present our data to our customers. You will be working on our core products and will have the opportunity to develop and shape our front end capabilities.
Both roles will be working closely with the CTO but will be given the responsibility and flexibility to design and build systems as part of a small, highly focused development team.
In return we offer:
• A competitive basic salary
• 10% of time dedicated to hack-day projects
• An excellent working environment with ample opportunity for progression
• An openness to flexible working
• 30 days holidays per year
• A company commitment to quality technology and external training

At twitch we work with the largest people in the gaming industry. We've rocketed to the top of the gaming industry food chain - all within 2 years of our launch. We're looking for talented engineers that like building the right things in the right way. We are broadly breaking out our positions as follows:
* product engineers
* revenue engineers
* backend engineers
If you're interested in knowing more - follow the link at the top of the post or email me: ossareh at twitch dot tv. Details on the positions are posted as comments to this post.
We spent the first 18 months of our life scaling the heck out of our platform. We were growing at 1m MAU month over month. Now we're growing even faster, but we're better at the scaling side of things so we're able to focus on building out the product. You'll be involved in helping us execute on our product roadmap. We're highly analytics focused and love to kill ideas as much as have them succeed. We're building aspects to our product which will engage users _even more_ than they're currently engaged.
As per above, we're now focused on our product - are large part of that is focusing on bringing in more money. Right now our users subscribe to broadcasters, we take a cut and we pass on the lions share to the broadcaster. Users love this, they like knowing that they're supporting their favourite broadcasters. We're finding new ways to have users support their broadcasters and we need engineers to help with that! If you've integrated various payment providers, integrated ad servers, etc, you're definitely the type of person we want to chat with!

We have an amazing, expressive app built with Ember.js and Rails. It looks nothing like any web application you've worked on before. Get in touch if you don't believe us.
We need an experienced JavaScript developer (or Ruby developer eager to learn Ember) to help us launch To Be in the US. Ideally someone comfortable with JavaScript, Rails and Postgres. Someone to worry about browser paint speeds, and not to worry about old browser support. To optimize CSS transitions and HTTP responses, not to optimize cubicle space. To move our tested, object-oriented codebase forward.
Come work with us, and push the limits of what browsers and the web can be. Email hello@tobe.us with the words “Interested Developer” in the subject and a link to code you are proud of in the body. You can also learn more at: http://tobe.us/developer
This is a full-time salaried position in New York City, with the opportunity for equity and leadership in a young company.
AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets.
We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything. We design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.
No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.
An example of a project that a member of our infrastructure team could work on is a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs that cover everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss. Hardware like this has been on the horizon for a while, but it is just now becoming available to early adopters. Writes to NVDIMMs will be nearly instantaneous and immediately durable. This project will be to develop an NVDIMM-based system that simultaneously functions as a log, an IPC mechanism, and a searchable database for analysis. Making this work will involve a number of pieces: kernel drivers, CPU cache control, lock-free synchronization, a daemon to write everything back to long-term (i.e. less expensive) storage, and more. If this works well, we plan to open-source all the pieces.
For more details go to http://amacapital.net/careers.html
We have a ton of positions open, but I'm looking for one in particular. I'm hoping HN can help me come up with a good title for the position (We've been calling it Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) but the more people we talk to the more it sounds like that isn't quite right). The job is:
1/3 of the time you'll be either the call leader for an outage situation or following up on a previous outage to determine root cause and what can be done to prevent that class of failure in the future.
1/3 of the you'll be working with teams throughout the company evangelizing best practices for reliability, scalability and distributed computing, such as helping them figure out caching strategies or how to use queues more effectively or avoiding global locks.
The last 1/3 of your time will be spent coding (mostly in Python) writing tools that help maintain the reliability of Netflix. Some tools we have written are an intelligent alert routing gateway, and tool to keep track or changes throughout the AWS environment, and simple tools like one that keeps track of EIP assignments or collects tcpdumps to send to Amazon.
So HN, what do you think the title of this role should be? Also, I didn't include the work DevOps in the description because it feels overused, but do you think it should be in there?
Or, "Reliability Ombudsman".
Hah! More like "respectful of the ability of our coworkers"
> Or, "Reliability Ombudsman".
I like this one. Might just use it.
Segment.io is a web analytics API. We let web companies install analytics once, and then send their data anywhere they need it with the flip of a switch.
Our libraries all are all open source, including analytics.js (https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js), server-side languages, iOS and Android... we launched in January and now process over a billion API calls a month for thousands of websites.
Segment.io has four founders. Calvin and Ilya studied CS at MIT, Ian studied Graphic Design at RISD, and Peter studied Aerospace Engineering at MIT.
We're hiring our first employee, and our bar is going to be extremely high. We're looking for a full stack javascript programmer, with experience with node.js and backbone. You almost certainly know another language like Clojure or Python. Your responsibilities would include:
+ Becoming a core maintainer of https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js, which runs on tens of millions of computers every month, growing fast.
+ Building the Segment.io app where users manage their analytics services and data. We use component, d3.js, socket.io, and node.js.

Blue Apron (http://www.blueapron.com) is an NY start-up that delivers everything you need to make fresh meals. We've raised $3M from First Round Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Dave Tisch [1] and have been featured in the New York Times [2].
We've been growing rapidly since our launch last August, are producing revenue and shipping more than 15,000 meals every week. We're looking to add a second developer to our (currently) small core team.
We're seeking a full stack web developer who believes in our mission of changing the way people eat and wants to work closely with our founding team. This person will:
- Solve unique UI, scheduling, and logistics challenges that impact our customers on a daily basis
- Help evaluate, prioritize, design and build new features

The team here is made up of some incredible young computer scientists from the best academic institutions, hedge funds and software houses in the country. We work primarily in Scala and C# on challenging greenfield problems in areas as distinct as distributed systems and procedural generation. The underlying technology is extremely exciting and the hope is that we can do certain things previously considered completely impossible in online experiences. We are also in talks with AAA games talent from well known titles, with the intention of building a game on top of our tech.
As a working environment we offer a few golden principles that you might find very refreshing:
Logic and careful thinking always trump seniority. Code quality matters just as much as productivity and much of the work here is challenging stuff nobody else has done before. Despite working on core tech, we get to build fun things! Working games and prototypes that stretch our platform and give core developers a chance to work with their own APIS. You even get to build cool stuff in the interview :) ( Past candidates have created working train systems, pokemon clones, physical simulations….)
We are still somewhat in stealth mode but are happy to provide more details during the process. If you are not uncomfortable with an exceptionally challenging interview process, keen to work on hard problems in a flat, peer led team, then please email Recruitment@improbableworlds.net.
Also we are currently based in a mansion with a pool…. Happy to relocate good candidates from overseas.
We are a startup which designs eyewear in Brooklyn, NY. We sell affordable frames ($89, frames+lenses). Our bigger business, however, is designing eyewear for fashion brands. We have a number of exciting brands in the pipeline and are growing our team. If you are interested in fashion - and using technology to innovate in that space - then send me a note!
Our team is small, so we wear many hats. Our site is in Python+Flask, with some PHP. On the backend, we've written tools to manage customers' eyewear prescriptions, manage orders and inventory with our lens laboratory, and give our employees great tools for taking care of customers.
We're also looking for UX developers and designers who can understand a brand's aesthetic and create an eyewear website based around that. This will entail everything from a responsive website to, for graphic designers, print collateral that goes in the packages we ship to customers.
I am the first engineering hire, so you'd be an early employee on the team. We want folks who can help out on backend infrastructure tasks and help us grow as we take on new brands.

Arachnys is a London-based, pre-Series A startup that aims to solve the problem of finding relevant, accurate business information in emerging markets. Our product gives even small companies the reach of a global intelligence platform, allowing them to find and understand business data even in challenging environments like the Middle East or Latin America, regardless of language, format or source.
We already have meaningful revenues, selling predominantly to enterprises who need to understand more about their counterparties, customers and distributors globally. Our customers range from vast multinationals to small private intelligence outfits.
We are looking for at least two developers to help us accelerate work on the myriad hard problems that we are solving. Currently we are a team of eight - with four engineers - so you would have a huge opportunity to shape the technological future of the company.
Startup atmosphere, real salary, flexible working hours and quality equipment provided.
We are a Python shop so expertise in that (and, inevitably, JavaScript) is a strong advantage (Django is our framework of choice). We have a number of different application components, including multiple distributed applications, so experience orchestrating large numbers of machines with tools like Chef or even Fabric would help. Above all though we want smart, multitalented people who can think for themselves and take pride in their work.
Willing to consider remote applicants only if they can commit to at least 1-2 days/week in London in a normal week.
To apply: email founders@arachnys.com to introduce yourself and your Github profile (or some other code you've authored or contributed to).
Makers Academy is an intensive, full-time course teaching the basics of web development using Ruby (http://www.makersacademy.com/). Many people believe that it's impossible to learn the basics of web development in just ten weeks but you'd be surprised to know how much a hard-working student can achieve in those 10 weeks :)
We started Makers Academy to do two things: help tech companies hire technical talent and to help people switch careers (being a Ruby dev is awesome!). We are a young VC-backed startup looking to change the way developers are taught.
I'm looking for instructors to help people switch careers into web development. It's a full-time job that involves lots of pairing with less experienced developers. If you make someone really understand how inject() works, it counts as a day well spent :)
We're also looking for guest speakers. If you'd like to share your experience with our students by giving a one-off Ruby-related talk, drop me a line, I'll buy you a lunch.

The Guardian are predominantly a Scala shop but use anything that does the job. We're into that whole agile thing, so expect a minimum of bureaucracy.
My team works on The Guardian's Content Platform, the central infrastructure that enables virtually everything we do here. The Content API holds a datastore of Guardian content from the 90's to the present day and serves about twenty million requests for it every day. It powers large chunks of our desktop site, as well as the entire mobile site, our Android/iPhone/iPad/Kindle apps, our syndication business and a heap of lucrative partnerships. We're also the ones best placed to be looking at non-traditional revenue streams – how do we generate value from our content except through our own ad-support properties?
We have hard problems to solve. We offer a competitive salary. And, it being The Guardian, health insurance and a good pension come as standard.

We're solving the world’s contact information problem. As we like to say, "If you've got an address book, you've got an address book problem." Most people have duplicate contacts, partial records, and out of date records . . . and they're scattered everywhere! It's a mess.
We are looking for super talented developers to join our team. We consider relocation but the final goal is to join our team full time in Denver.

Podaris is a funded startup that will change the way cities are designed. We're creating an online collaborative planning and design platform for next-generation Automated Transit Networks. Think TinkerCAD for future transport systems. Yes, there's a market for this: we've received our first seed investment and will soon receive more. I honestly don't think there's a more exciting use for Javascript on the planet.
I'm looking for a technical co-founder / CTO / lead developer. Job description and more can be found at http://www.podaris.com/
Unfortunately, as a startup, it is difficult for us to accommodate international relocations, so you must be an EU citizen or have a valid UK work permit.
---------
We're looking for a full time developer from our fantastic offices at the Edinburgh Tech Cube (http://www.techcu.be) with spectacular views of Arthur's seat and the Meadows.
Remote work is fine after a "burn-in" period of a few months (we've got engineers happily working from Spain and Brazil at the moment) but we'd like to get to know you in person first!
Detailed job description can be found on our about page (http://www.getadministrate.com/about), look on the lower right.
We're using a combination of technologies:
- Crufty old PHP (being refactored), and newer PHP (Doctrine)
- All new development is being done with: Python, SQL Alchemy, Flask, and AngularJS using the Bootstrap UI framework
We're looking for smart people that get things done using the above techs, and who want to join a small company, have lots of responsibility, and work in a very challenging environment.
------------
If you're debating sending us your CV, we've hired two top devs from these threads in the last 6 months, and we don't mind hiring people who have never completed university or don't look great "on paper".
We're growing really quickly, have a small team, a challenging product that's mission critical for our clients, and we're located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with remote workers across the Central Belt of Scotland (and beyond).
If you're outside the EU, we can look into visa sponsorship in very special cases, but this can be a long and difficult process, particularly for the UK. Sorry. Email me if interested, my name is John: jjp@getadministrate.com
[and yes - you can pay after the person leaves and/or to the foreign bank account...]
And this procedure is a peace of cake for financial organizations/banks, as it seems.
You like food, right? So do we. Chewse make sure great companies become greater... using food! We’re a small team with huge ambitions (recently graduated the 500 Startups program, raised $1M seed round) and we're bringing on our first key engineering hires.
We need someone brave enough to take on huge, meaty product initiatives, but also humble enough to get dirty with the grunt work. If it matters to you, we're using things like Python, Django, AngularJS, CoffeeScript, LESS, Redis, and Heroku.
Salary: $80-120k
Equity: 0.25-1.25%
Perks: Lots of food! (Among other things)

Hey everyone, first post on HN!
We're RocketChicken Interactive, a start-up mobile game company in Vancouver, BC (well, technically our office is just across the road in Burnaby...) and we're working at lightspeed to develop a prototype for a follow up to CodeRunner, an alternate reality iOS game that we built in our spare time and released late in 2011. It got us noticed and got us some funding, so now the chips are down and we have to prove we can do it again!
Our biggest need in the short term is a UX designer with strong graphic design skills to help us shape the look and feel of CodeRunner:2. You will have an amazing amount of influence over the visual style and user experience. We really need someone who can take a project from vision to reality in a short amount of time, and who has a proven track record of working closely with a team in a highly collaborative environment. In the early stages we will need someone who can be on site most of the time. This role will start as a contract with the potential to work into a full-time position. You can find the original job posting here:
http://www.rocketchicken.com/2013/05/23/mobile-game-ui-desig...
In the more medium term, we need to find a server engineer who has a lot of experience with web services and scalable database systems. Ideally you'll be well-versed in both SQL and NoSQL solutions and can help us assess our requirements to identify the best solution. This game is going to rely heavily on a pretty sophisticated server back-end, so you'll be right in the middle of building what we think is going to be the coolest mobile game ever. ;) This is a full-time position:
http://www.rocketchicken.com/2013/04/02/experienced-server-e...

SwiftStack (http://swiftstack.com/jobs/) is hiring software developers at all levels of experience.
Why Join SwiftStack?
You’ll work on a product that touches millions of people’s lives even if they don’t know it. The number of businesses using OpenStack in general and Swift in particular grows and grows, and it includes big names that make products that are used by both your little brother and your grandmother. You’ll work on a product that makes core OpenStack technology accessible to businesses of all kinds.
You’ll get open-source experience in a big way. At SwiftStack, we’re committed to strong participation in the OpenStack ecosystem in general and to contribution to Swift in particular. You’ll be a contributor to one of the most important Open Source projects currently active.
You’ll confront interesting problems every day. Writing a system like Swift and building a software ecosystem to surround it is the road less traveled. We aren’t writing yet another glorified CMS or social app or phone game. Whether it’s figuring out better algorithms for data placement, confronting a firehose of monitoring data, or determining how to integrate most flexibly with customers’ systems, there are always new and unusual problems to solve.
Interested? Send us an email at jobs@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.

We’re a small team of construction engineers, software engineers, and ex-rocket scientists, building intuitive, beautiful tablet apps for construction. We love disrupting an industry that makes up 11% of Global GDP because no one ever cared to do so (for comparison, defense is only 2.5% of global GDP). Our users are project engineers, architects, superintendents, and electricians, and they love our app (because it helps them build real things more efficiently). We're looking for front-end engineers with a passion for making beautiful intuitive products. Our front-end tech is iOS, Android, and backbone.js. You will be our twelfth team member and sixth member of engineering.
We've been around for a year and we're growing fast. Unlike a lot of early stage startups, we measure our growth in revenue, not users, and it's been exponential since the day we launched.

Khitchdee is designing a custom PC from scratch. We're designing an FPGA based circuit that runs the things we value most from our PC. We call this PC the Switch and it's going to replace the Wintel PC and MacBook Air we currently use as our primary PC. We produce music, design gadgets and also like to teach gadget design.

I'm the technical lead at Amobee on our PULSE 3D platform, looking to disrupt the way we consume and create mobile advertising. We're looking for developers on HTML5, WebGL, iOS, and Android to build the next generation of rich media as well as touch-based content creation tools from the ground up.
We believe that ads should actually be fun; as fast, interactive and personalized as the best games and apps. That's why we built the world's first 3D platform for display advertising. Our startup, AdJitsu, was acquired by Amobee almost a year ago. Our team continues to operate like an autonomous startup, with the added benefit of our parent company's resources.
Our PULSE 3D platform combines WebGL (or native OpenGL on iOS) with HTML5 to create a designer-friendly environment for building interactive experiences powered by programmable shaders. You can have a look at some of our ads here: http://amobee.com/3d
As a startup within a startup (we're a team of six people including three engineers with a lot of autonomy), you'll have the chance to own and solve problems such as:
* Build the next generation of realtime rendering and user interaction on mobile * Rethink content creation tools, from the ground up, for multi-touch interfaces * Design immersive, sensor-driven user experiences for clients * Analyze billions of data points from user interaction
We touch everything from SIMD assembly and fragment shaders, to Hadoop and Pig, and almost everything in between. Objective C, C++, HTML 5, Javascript, WebGL, Python, git and more are tools we use every day.
Our client include brands like BMW, Samsung, Autodesk, and Nokia. Our team brings experience from Apple, Cooliris, Dreamworks, Microsoft, Namco Bandai, NVIDIA, Ubisoft, and more. We're backed by the likes of Accel, Sequoia, and Singapore Telecom.
If this whets your appetite, get in touch with me at markw at amobee dot com and let's talk!

Palo Alto, CA – permanent, full-time
We're hiring engineers and designers.
Flipboard is a social magazine service. We're looking for both front-end (mobile, Web) and server people; our client teams are awesome, but we also run very large-scale services (on AWS) to support them, we're very serious about data, and we do a heck of a lot of both client and server-side JS. We've got interesting problems for everyone.
Some of the tools we use, just to give you a flavor: ObjC, Java (both Android and on the server), CoffeeScript, node.js, the Python/Numpy stack, Hadoop, HBase, ElasticSearch, Go...
http://flipboard.com/careers/ - alternatively, feel free to email me and I'll point you at the right people (andrew at the obvious domain).
Server developer
We allow our users to hail traditional taxis with iOS and Android smartphone apps. We're an established player in San Francisco, looking to take our next big growth step.
Total size of the company is roughly 25, engineering department is nine people, core server work is presently two or three. Most server work is in ruby (some rails, some not), with a bit of Node.js. The big challenges in front of us are scaling smoothly and improving the experience of matching drivers and passengers.
I'm a server developer here. You can send me your resumes at mike@flywheel.com, or apply through this page: http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qbm9Vfwl&...
We were in the most recent 500 Startups batch, have a great set of advisors and investors, and were voted one of the top 5 companies by Gigaom, Forbes, and others.
We recently raised seed funding, and are now looking to bring on our first key hires. We’re a team of four (two are remote).
We use Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Javascript, jQuery, and soon iOS. We think that great developers can come from a variety of backgrounds. The main thing is that you’re smart and get stuff done.
Email me at natalie@babyli.st. Let me know what you’re looking for in your next job.
Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider that enables developers, startups, and big companies to focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We were recently named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review (http://www2.technologyreview.com/tr50/2013/). We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, Trulia, and Newsweek.
There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.
Our LA office is our headquarters and our new Palo Alto office is still small, so new hires would have a huge impact on the culture there.

g33ktalk is building an international community of software engineers passionate about open-source technologies and interested in the real-world architectures in use at top startups.
We're a seed stage biz, but are already well past the chicken/egg problem of an early two-sided marketplace. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs, we've previously raised money from top angels and have experience in the startup worlds of SF & NYC.
We are a lab that makes awesome web and mobile software to solve problems in the developing world. Generally by creating better information systems. The point is to improve access to basic needs such as health, education, clean water, electricity.
We are hiring for a Senior Software Engineer and a Front End Engineer, both NYC based. See https://github.com/modilabs/jobs for more; its a University so comes with amazing benefits.
Hiring: FE Engineer & Head of Marketing/Biz-dev
iknow.io is a data-driven knowledge sharing community for curious people. We take raw data about Movies, Music, Sports, Economics, Politics and more and make it possible for regular people to analyze and extract useful information from it. We also enable them to browse, share and discuss the fascinating insights they discover using our tools with one another.
While there are mountains of raw data out there, only scientists and programmers can currently make any real use of it. Our mission is to make that data accessible and useful to everyone. Our team has extensive experience working with large, complex data problems and in building and nurturing online communities.
We are currently a team of 4 people, and are looking to add 2 more talented individuals to the mix soon.
1) FE Engineer: You have a great design sense and some serious engineering skills. You think the famous quote, "there are only two hard things in computer science, cache invalidation and naming things" is spot on. Whenever you're browsing the web, you're constantly noticing things that could be tweaked and improved. You're a pragmatist who's ok with ignoring IE6 users. You've built complex, popular web-based applications before. You want to join an early stage startup where you can quickly prove yourself and become the FE engineering lead.
Our FE Stack includes python (django), javascript (jquery, backbone), html and css. Deep familiarity with all of these is a big plus, but not necessarily required. Experience with mobile app development is also a plus.
2) Head of Marketing & Business Development: You're a natural born deal maker. When you throw a party, too many people show up. You know how to build, execute and analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. Bloggers and reporters know you, and love you. You believe product design and marketing are one and the same. You're ready to join an extremely talented product & engineering team and show them that everything they thought they knew about how to really promote and grow a new site from the ground-up is wrong.
If you fit the bill for either of these positions, and you think what we're working on sounds intriguing, then we'd love to hear from you at jobs@iknow.io. Thanks!
We're looking for a lead software engineer to work on the latest and greatest version of the Twilio API. We're also working on making sure the API can scale to 2015 and beyond, and porting more of our code to use services internally.
Day to day we work with flask-restful (our open-source Flask project), Chef, nginx, uwsgi, and a handful of other tools. Our team is always the one pushing the envelope to try out new, better infrastructure inside the company.
HTTP nerds especially welcome. Contact me - email is in my profile.
We're one of the many, many HFT startups in Chicago; we're looking for C/C++ people who love sockets (TCP/UDP not wrenches). Hardware design skills are a plus. (Verilog/VHDL/OpenCL not hammers)
If you instead feel more comfortable talking about multivariate time series, subspaces, manifolds, volatility surfaces, or just general data analytics, we'd also love talking to you.
Financial industry and/or low latency experience are not musts. Drop me an email if you're interested: green at glt-llc.com

Transcriptic is "Amazon Web Services" for the life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.
We're looking for people for three types of positions: web, EE, and ME.
On the web side, we're looking for a highly talented full-stack web developer. On top of our robotic workcells is a slew of internal services as well as a Rails app that acts as our lab information management system and customer-facing UI. Challenges range from building rich, interactive interfaces for composing protocols to presenting analytical data generated by the lab back to the user. We use d3, Backbone, and some CoffeeScript today, but you'd be free to choose your own tools and libraries.
On the hardware side, you'd be part of a small functional team (2-3 people) working on developing new hardware to solve specific problems. We have in-house rapid prototyping and you'd also work with outsourced manufacture, whether in Sunnyvale or China. Our MCAD is Solidworks-based; most people here use Eagle for electronics but that would be up to you. Include a portfolio of projects you've worked on before; experience in robotics a major plus. If you have HVAC experience, note the separately, too. PhD is a plus but definitely not necessary.
We're a small startup (you'd be #11), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.
A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people.

Academia.edu is a social platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research.
Many people believe that science is too closed, and too slow. We are trying to change that. There are 4 things we are trying to achieve with Academia.edu - ways in which we are trying to re-shape and accelerate science:
- Instant distribution. Right now there is a 12 month time-lag between submitting a paper to a journal, and the paper being published. We need to remove that time-lag and introduce instant distribution of scientific ideas.
- Better peer review. Right now the peer review process takes 12 months to complete, and only surfaces the opinions of two academics - academics who may be biased, uninformed about the subject area, or just in a bad mood when writing the review. 2 people is too small a sample size. We need a faster and more robust peer review system, one that surfaces the opinions of the entire scientific community, across a variety of dimensions, and in real-time.
- Multi-media. Right now, scientists only share papers in PDF form. We need to bring about a science where scientists are incentivized to share data-sets, code, videos, blog posts, and comments on all these media. Right now 50% or more of the world’s scientific output does not get shared, because the system of credibility metrics only rewards one kind of format, the paper. We need to change this.
- Open access. We need to bring about a world where a villager in India has the same access to the world’s scientific output as a professor in Harvard. When you open up access to the world’s scientific literature to the 2.5 billion people who are online right now, magical things can happen.
It's an exciting time for science. Science is transitioning from a 17th century way of sharing ideas, based on the journal system, to a faster system of sharing ideas on the web. Science is a foundational part of global growth: almost every innovation in medicine and technology has its roots in a science paper.
We need talented and passionate engineers to help us accelerate science. We have made a good start: 2.9 million academics have joined Academia.edu, and 13,000 join each day. We're a 12 person, engineering-driven, team based in downtown San Francisco. Technologies we use include Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Varnish, Solr, Memcached, and Mongodb. We have raised $6.7 million from Spark Capital, True Ventures, Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu), and others.
Familiarity with our technologies is a plus, but it's not essential. It's far more important that you are a quick learner who can pick up new technologies quickly. We are looking to hire a range of positions:
* full stack engineers * growth engineer (optimizing our growth and retention channels)
There is more information about the company on our hiring page, at http://academia.edu/hiring. There is more on TechCrunch about our mission here http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/05/the-future-of-peer-review/ (The Future of Peer Review) and here http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/29/the-future-of-science/ (The Future of Science)
We want to hire world class engineers. We want you to join us in building the future of science whether you are based in San Francisco, New York, Delhi, or Beijing. We will handle re-location, including visas, though unfortunately we are not currently hiring remote employees.
If you are interested to learn more, please email Ryan Jordan at ryanj [at] academia.edu
Hi everyone. I've just moved to London from San Francisco (I was previously at Eventbrite) to join a growing startup called Rentify. Over the last month, the ruby community has been an impressive to me, packed with smart ambitious people who are full of enthusiasm. So if anyone is interested in something new, please read on!
About Rentify - We’re a small tight-knit team of 11 that wants to change how rentals are done. The rental industry is old, antiquated, and ready for a push. Rentify wants to be the one stop tool shop for landlords. We think we have the right recipe, and so does Balderton Capital, who invested in us for our Series A.
- We don’t do deadlines, or assign your day to day work to you, or tell you how to get it done, or make your decisions. Read more about it here:http://engineering.rentify.com/post/47385480838/in-engineers...
- We’re all hungry for success.
Responsibilities:
- Lead by example – by writing good code, talking about good code, and then drinking beers with the team about all the good code that was written
- Design and development of new product features and enhancements
- Communicate with non-engineers to define requirements and deliverables
- Know what technologies are out there in case you need to use them
- Periodically teach your co-workers all the great stuff you learned via tech talks, brown bags, blogs, or open source
Requirements:
- You ideally have Ruby on Rails experience.
- You want to work in a startup (a.k.a. a place that works hard and plays hard)
- You feel comforted when you write a good unit test
- You must have a Bachelor’s knowledge level of computer science via education or experience
- You know when to use what kind of data store
- You have to be able to travel to central London every day
Perks:
- Unlimited vacation (seriously no one counts)
- Equity in Rentify
- Food and drinks available in the office 24/7
- Feel free to crush your co-workers on our N64 and pool table. We’re probably going to build a nap room too because I need a snooze once in a while.
- We provide whatever tools you need to succeed like the latest hardware and educational material
- Be a part of a collaborative team that sits in an open environment (read: no politics) who previously worked at companies like Eventbrite, Uber, Universal, and Apple

RoR experience helpful. Passion for dev services. Eager to ride the rocket ship.
work at easypost dot com
Coupa Software - Procurement and Spend Management for business, in the cloud.
Looking for
- Ruby on Rails developers
- JavaScript developers
- front-end developers with or without additional design skills
- iOS developers
Current goals and challenges include building new features, improving our automated testing, and maintaining a solid foundation for the product. Your workload in a given month might include bugs, a feature or two to build by yourself or with a few others, improving our technology stack, or implementing your own ideas to improve the product. We like people who are full stack, and like learning about all areas of the product.
I am a full-stack dev, so I do everything from tuning database queries to Rails to JavaScript to visual design on my features, its pretty damn rewarding and interesting.
Working on the product development team is pretty great. I enjoy working and spending time with everyone on the team, and we have smart people from lots of different backgrounds and locations. We have a neat office space in downtown San Mateo that is open and perfect for a team of programmers (we keep the noise down when we're working). We are two blocks from the San Mateo CalTrain station, we have plenty of room for bikes, and free parking passes if you want to drive.
We have had remote developers for a long time, across the country and world. We also allow for working from home as needed for local people (or wherever else you are productive), and tend to strongly encourage people to go home and rest if they look tired or don't feel well.
We offer good pay, great health / dental / vision insurance, unlimited vacation, extremely flexible hours (pretty much be in by 11am if you are local). We have "field trip" lunches on Wednesdays to get the team together and relax, and other days we might walk to the park or somewhere downtown for lunch.
Please email a quick intro and your resume, website, or github to * brianfarr@gmail.com * if you are interested or have any questions.
If you seem like a good possibility, your resume will be seen by my manager and the team this Monday. If not, I will try my best to point you to someplace you are a good fit, or connect you with recruiters I know. Also, if you are new or looking to move to the SF Bay Area and want to talk to someone who did it last year, from the midwest, send me an email too.
Are you looking to join a giant company? Hoping to turn your day into a dreary routine where your work will be marginalized? Well, you've come to the wrong place.
EasyESI is a 7-person, tech-led startup in downtown Berkeley that's changing how litigation is performed. Trust us: you'll like working with lawyers -- when they're paying you for a change. And they do pay us: we're comfortably cash-flow positive just two years after founding, and growing quickly.
We have many challenging problems, including machine learning, visualization, search, distributed systems, and nifty user interfaces. We're looking for generalists; we'll teach you (or you'll teach yourself) what you need to know.
We're a fun company, with an awesome location in downtown Berkeley, foosball, board games, and more (recent events: Warriors playoff game, ski weekend in Tahoe). We'll offer you a great salary, equity, health care, retirement with company matching, and a generous vacation schedule.
We are looking to fill 3 positions:
Software Engineer: We all wear many hats, contributing to a backend Java codebase that uses minimal XML. We use a lot of modern open source technologies: Lucene, Cassandra, AWS, etc. We have a separate Python codebase for performing offline work. We strive to write all of our code in a modular, reusable style that maximizes code-sharing and minimizes repetition. We schedule weekly time for refactoring so that we avoid the accumulation of technical debt. If you're sharp and you're interested in learning how to write performant code that uses modern academic research and operates on the latest infrastructure, you'll like this role.
Front-End/UI Engineer: Must have a good attention to detail and be able to use and contribute to a large, modular Javascript codebase (built on dojo). Good understanding of HTML/CSS/Javascript is a must, and a good eye for design is a nice bonus. We support only modern browsers (no IE6 headaches), so we have a very rich HTML/Javascript interface that relies on AJAX queries to pull down data and perform much of the work.
Salesperson/Marketer: You'll help manage our current client base, land new customers, and develop our company's marketing strategy and materials. However, since we’re a small, flexible team, you will not be tied down to a particular role. You'll have the opportunity shape product development and design your own projects to help grow our company.
Check out some videos of our product at http://easyesi.com/review.html
We consider all applicants; please apply for the position(s) you're interested in at http://easyesi.com/jobs.shtml.

Junior/middle-weight web developer
Are you an internet-obsessed design-savvy coder? Interested in being part of a friendly, dynamic team in a central Cambridge studio? We want to talk to front or back end developers who are creative, organised and love all things web. Ideally you'll have some or all of the following skills:
Knowledge of writing standards-compliant, high-performing HTML5 and CSS web pages. Experience of working with popular web libraries. We use Django and jQuery, but you can learn these on the job. Good knowledge of at least one programming language. We work primarily in Python and Javascript, but are happy for you to learn these on the job too. An understanding of database programming and design. Familiarity with *nix based operating systems. Awareness of popular web APIs, such as Google Maps, Twitter and Facebook. More important than relevant experience is the drive to learn and expand your skill set. If you've got a commitment to excellence and can demonstrate an aptitude for programming then we want to hear from you. In return you'll receive a competitive salary, full training and your own top of the range laptop (we work predominantly on Macs but we can let the odd Windows machine slip through the net!).
> What you can expect to work on
Expect to work on a wide range of challenging projects. We don't have a cookie cutter approach to the web and push the design and technical envelope on all our work. Recent projects have included: an application that manages, filters and analyses radio spectrum data from a series of nationally-located nodes; a responsive website for a high-end safari and Africa travel company; a large website and online admin system to manage the ever-changing attractions and events for an interactive science centre; and a website/application that tracks, maps and graphs the progress of University spin-out companies. Most of our projects are responsive and we're as committed to the front-end user experience as we are to what's happening under the hood.
> How we work
As a team we listen, learn, plan, design, build, test and deliver together. Whilst different people are responsible for their own part of a project, we all understand the importance of the chain and support each other to get things done. You'll be expected to manage your own workload and you won't ever have a project manager breathing down your neck. Our process is front-loaded with in-depth research and discovery rounds in which both developers and designers participate. This keeps scope creep to a minimum and deadlines and budgets realistic. We don't subscribe to unnecessary bureacracy and keep things streamlined and agile. You'll get to talk to clients too - we all share the successes and the challenges of a project together.
> Learning
The web is constantly evolving so we expect you to as well. Experimentation and learning new skills is part of the fabric at Onespacemedia. Need some books or course materials? No problem. Want to try out some new techniques on a test project? No problem. Something you want to tell the world about a technology or trend? Blog about it on the website. We expect our team members to be passionate and knowledgeable about their field of expertise.
> Lifestyle
Working at Onespacemedia is fun. We do serious work for serious clients but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. Expect plenty of laughter, music, company lunches, trips to the pub and impromptu ping pong battles. Just ten minutes walk from the station and ten minutes walk from the centre of Cambridge, the office is located just of Mill Road, the cultural heart of Cambridge (and probably the closest thing you can get to a London street outside of the capital). We're surrounded by green spaces, pubs, shops and cafés (including the legendary Hot Numbers). We've even got parking spaces. We operate a flexitime scheme too so those of you who are commuting from out of town don't have to spend four hours a day stuck in a traffic jam to and from work.
> How to apply
Please send CV, covering note and links to any websites or applications you have created, or been involved with, to jobs@onespacemedia.com. We are open to enquiries from individuals seeking part-time and full-time work.

Ringio(http://ringio.com) provides internet phone service to small businesses to improve the quality of their phone interactions. We have some great ideas for owning this domain and are looking for a few great software engineers to help take our product to the next level. If you're interested (or know someone who is), read more and email srijak AT ringio.com[1]. If you are interested in Go or node.js you should definitely get in touch.
Major areas of development focus:
- Scaling: We are growing at a rate where our current stack and architecture need
to be rethought. So, there is a lot of interesting work to be done.
- Modern HTML Applications: We’re very excited about JavaScript frameworks that
have grown in popularity (like Angular.js, D3). We’re interested in
using web technologies for our mobile and desktop applications, so if
you’re experienced with (or just interested in) JavaScript,
CoffeeScript, SCSS, WebSockets, or BOSH, there’s a lot of research
and development to be done.
- Voice Technology: All calls using Ringio run through our voice systems to enable
things like on-hold music, call screening, and transfers.
We have a lot of new voice functionality that we’d like to build,
as well as technology we’d like to integrate. This is fairly unique to
our industry and involves some interesting timing, reliability,
concurrency, and state management problems.
- API Development: Integration with CRM systems and reselling partners requires APIs
for large pieces of our platform. We need help expanding our APIs,
making sure they’re usable and secure, and testing that they’re working
correctly.
- Smart software developers
- Familiar with object oriented programming. We use Grails and Java for our major
systems but are moving towards Go, Node.js for our service layer. We don't require
you know any of these languages, but expertise in *a* language is desired.
If you are interested in Go or node.js you should definitely get in touch.
- Familiar with Unix/Linux command-line systems. Logging into a Linux server to count
the number of ERROR lines in a log file grouped by hour wouldn’t be difficult
for you.
- Excited about joining a startup and wearing many hats.
- Authorized to work in the US
- Able to work from our Courthouse Metro office (flexibility to work from home
sometimes, but most time will be at the office)
[1] Email should have your resume attached, have the string "from hackernews" somewhere in the subject line, and tell us why you think Ringio should hire you :)

Red Hot Labs (RHL) is looking for full-stack engineers at all levels that want to work on cutting edge mobile games and services for other mobile developers.
=Responsibilities=
- Write both server and client-side mobile code for iOS and Android apps.
(We can teach you this!)
- Actively learn and work with new technologies. There’s a very good chance
you’ll pick up experience with a new language / technology stack here!
- Collaborate closely with myself and the rest of our team to develop
products and services with a high quality user-experience.
- Architect and own big parts of our infrastructure.
- REQUIRED: CS degree or significant experience in a low-level language (C, C++).
- We're trying to hire smart folks that have a solid CS foundation.
- REQUIRED: Prior experience working with Javascript required.
- REQUIRED: Ability to pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.
- PREFERRED: Prior experience developing either business intelligence or games.
- PREFERRED: Prior mobile experience in either iOS or Android.
We’re a small 6-person FUNDED startup founded by the guys who made FarmVille and CityVille. We’re building mobile games and supporting services that we think are missing from the mobile ecosystem. This is not our first startup; our last one was acquired by Zynga and led to them being able to IPO using our core-tech and games.
Our company culture is one built on learning and the belief that everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. We want to work with folks that inspire us to learn more and do our best work. We invest in our employees and want to help you grow in both your core skill-set and other areas you may be interested in. We can afford to do this while we’re small.
We focus on shipping quickly and constantly (our first game was built in 6 weeks with no pre-existing client-side code), so this is a great place to experience shipping multiple products. Our product development process is a full-team collaborative one based on a healthy balance of metrics and design intuition. We care A LOT about good design and are always striving for putting out products we’re proud of both technically and visually.
Our tech-stack is built on accelerating the ability to ship. We’ve developed a unique client/server architecture that we use for all of our apps that allows us to write new backend connected mobile apps without having to write modify any server code. This backend combined with our unique embedded-JS frontend allows us to deploy fully featured cross-platform apps very quickly. Our first-game was featured on Google Play and was built in about 6 weeks.
=Perks=
- WORKCATIONS! We’re a small company so we do unscalable things such as
rent a house for the whole team and spend a week working from a Ski-house Tahoe

We’re looking for a... Software Developer Intern *Accepting Applications for Summer 2013 (Not interested in coding? There are tons of ways to get involved! Email us: info@learningequality.org and we'll be in touch!)
Where? UC San Diego, La Jolla, California. Remote is fine too!
When? July 1 - September 15, 2013 (flexible)
Who are we? The Foundation for Learning Equality (FLE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating tools for sharing and creating open-licensed educational content for use by anyone around the world, with a focus on reaching those with limited or no internet access.
We are a group of hackers, educators, and aspiring ninjas, that are excited about bridging the divide between those with access to high-quality educational resources, and those without.
What you get to hack on: KA Lite (kalite.learningequality.org) is a lightweight web app for serving core Khan Academy content (videos and exercises) without needing internet connectivity, from a local server (even a Raspberry Pi!). Take it for a test drive, it’s open-source. Check out our wiki for more information.
Technologies we use and skills we would value (but learning on the job is acceptable!): Python! Django JavaScript / HTML5 apps jQuery Backbone.js Video.js HTML / CSS / LESS Android development Hardware / networking / system administration Cryptography / databases / API design
What we plan on building:
This summer, we will be continuing to develop the KA Lite project, to meet the needs of the schools and organizations that are deploying the project around the world, and make it accessible to even more people. Some of the features we’ll be working on are: Including mechanisms for peer-to-peer synchronization of software updates, content, and usage data, so that it can be kept up to date even in no-bandwidth scenarios. Improving the coach reporting tools and adding more gamification. Polishing up an in-progress Android wrapper for KA Lite, so it can be used completely standalone on mobile devices. Adding support for internationalized interfaces and content (dubbed videos and translated exercises). Adding the features that you, the interns, dream up! Bring your ideas to help increase educational access, and improve the user experience for both students and teachers.
We will also be beginning development on a new platform for distributing and hosting other open-licensed educational materials (beyond Khan Academy), as well as allowing teachers to author their own content -- offline -- to use in their classrooms as well as share back with the rest of the world. There will be exciting opportunities to be part of the design and prototyping phases of this new initiative over the summer!
We Offer the Following Benefits:
- You will be hacking on a piece of technology that has the potential to bring high-quality educational resources to literally billions of people who have never before had access. - You’ll be surrounded by a wide variety of development talent, from FLE team members, to professionals on the UC San Diego campus, and our internationally based partners. - You’ll have the chance to make real contributions to an ambitious development road map at a fast-growing startup nonprofit. - The UC San Diego campus is beautiful, the weather is perfect, and it’s only a five-minute walk to one of the world’s most iconic beaches. - A recommendation to our many partners in the tech and education industry.
Expectations - We believe that you’ll get as much out of this as you put in. If you want, you can work 20 hours per week, or you can work 40 (although we do ask for at least 20). - Set realistic goals for yourself and hold yourself accountable for reaching them. - Familiarity with some programming language and the ability and willingness to spend time on your own learning the technologies that we use (Python, Django, JavaScript, etc). - A commitment to providing access to education and promoting open content.
What life will be like: FLE is a pretty diverse group. Members enjoy playing soccer, board games, making marmalade, visiting Mexico (a 30-minute drive), doing Arduino projects, going to local San Diego Meetups, making sandcastles, bodyboarding, eating vegan food, playing various awesome instruments and learning to play new ones. We'll be organizing some fun events over the summer.
