I'm part of a small team that's been working on healthcare.gov for the last few months alongside a bunch of other Google, Facebook, and Y Combinator alums.
We'll always remember what Mikey told us in December, after the site was back up, could handle a non-trivial amount of traffic, and people who wanted health insurance could finally get it:
"1 in 1000 uninsured people die each year. It's not an exaggeration to say that due to the work we're doing here, 5,000-10,000 people will live to see the end of 2014. You should be proud of what you've done, but we should also all be grateful to have this opportunity."
We're all grateful to be here, but there's a hell of a lot more work to be done.
If any of you out there are an amazing software engineer or SRE, and want to help make our government work better, please shoot us an email: brandon@hcgov.us
Right now, we're looking for folks who can move to the Baltimore/DC area for at least 1-3 months -- it's just hard to get stuff done in this environment without being here in-person!
Right now, we've all been pitching in on 1-3 month rotations to the DC/Baltimore area. (If you'd be interested in helping but can't necessarily move to Maryland... stay tuned :) .)
Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility)
We're a small, non-profit tech startup trying to give a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're making a big mobile push and need your help.
Here's a testimonial we received recently:
==================================
Hi! My name is Chelsie and I'm a college student. When I was 19 years old I was kicked out of a great university because I had terrible grades. My disappointed parents cut me off financially so I began working night shifts to support myself. The truth is, I had no desire to go to school because learning had always seemed very distant from reality to me. ... Success in school felt like something you either had or you didn't, and I had been getting Cs since middle school….I stumbled across [your] videos about math. I HATED math. I watched them anyway. I don't know why, but I did. I loved them. I continued watching videos- chemistry, programming, physics. I'm 24 now, and I'm in college pursuing a degree in computer engineering. I have straight As. Sal's videos made me feel like I had the capacity for understanding math and science even though my parents never sent me to space camp and I never won a ribbon at a science fair in elementary school...
==================================
Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who're thankful for free, high-quality educational content.
Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.
And now we're doing a big mobile push. Around 20% of our traffic comes from phones and tablets. We're totally overhauling our iOS app.
If you join us now, you can be a core developer on an app that is guaranteed to have millions of users. We have loads of high-quality educational content just waiting to be shared within a great product. We have partnerships lined up around the block to promote your work. We just need you.
You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more of us normal folk ;) you haven't heard of but who are workin' hard to help education.
Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and be sure to mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at ben+HN@khanacademy.org w/ random questions.
Transcriptic: Full-stack developer (emphasis on frontend)
Menlo Park, CA
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 a highly talented full-stack web developer. On top of our robotic work cells 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.
We're a small startup (you'd be #11), but well funded ($4.1M) 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.
San Francisco, CA | Cancer Therapeutics Innovation Group (CTIG)
Help cure cancer by building webapps.
At CTIG, we sequence the DNA of cancer tumors to recommend the right therapy for that tumor's specific DNA mutations. Patients and their oncologists use our analyses to help make decisions about how to treat their cancer. With us, you'd help build the systems that doctors and patients use to access and interpret our results, and work on the systems we use to manage our internal processes.
It's really important that our users (patients and doctors) be able to understand the results we're giving back to them. So we're looking for someone who can translate our analyses into web pages that are clear, simple, and well-designed. That makes front-end experience and an eye for aesthetics important, but you'll be working on the backend as well.
Our current web apps are built using:
* Scala, with the Play framework
* Python, with Django and Flask
* Javascript, with Angular.js and D3
* HTML/CSS/LESS with Bootstrap
* Postgres
It's great if you're familiar with those, but general web dev skill and the ability to pick up new tools and technologies is more important. Our other systems also use R, and we're experimenting with the Julia language, so if you're looking to work with interesting technology then you'll find kindred spirits here.
CTIG is located in Mission Bay in San Francisco, across the street from the UCSF campus here. We're a very interdisciplinary group, with bioinformaticians and computational biologists from UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, and UCSF; biologists from UCSF, and physicians from Harvard Medical School. Some of us have PhDs, some of us have MDs, and some of us are college dropouts; we're not credentialists, but we do have strong backgrounds in our respective fields. It's a small team with 6 programmers, so you'd be a core contributor and you'd help set our technical direction.
We're very serious about cancer, but pretty laid-back otherwise; office discussions range from the nitty-gritty details of molecular biology and machine learning to re-enactments of South Park episodes.
We're looking for people who are authorized to work in the US, and can work full-time on-site in SF. If you're interested, email me at mskinner@ctig.com, and include "EGFR" (the name of one of our favorite genes) in the subject.
We want everyone in the world to experience the impossible. We want your help building the virtual reality hardware and platform that takes people to beautiful new universes. Oculus is up to over 70 people (primarily engineers), and we are expanding quickly. In addition to a huge variety of positions in Irvine, CA, Oculus is looking for software engineers in Dallas, TX.
A few of the positions that are especially important to us right now are:
* Embedded Systems Engineer - Design, prototype, and program the systems going into future virtual reality products.
* Product Manager, Software - Lead development of core software products, services, and applications.
* Communications Manager - Define the overall voice and messaging for Oculus.
* Computer Vision Engineer - Research and develop algorithms and software for cutting edge 3D vision applications.
Question, asked on HN because others might be interested in the answer as well. Since you did not explicitly mention it in your post and I could not find this on your website either, I was wondering if you only hire locally (i.e. US) or are H1Bs welcome too?
Mozilla Research (Servo) - Remote or any of our global offices
Servo is a new web browser engine. It is designed to be more memory safe (far and away the #1 cause of browser engine security bugs!) through use of the new Rust programming language, and also to take advantage of modern hardware by implementing the Web Platform with support for parallelism and concurrency.
We’re looking for some very senior people to join us and provide technical leadership and mentoring for major areas of this project. In particular, if you have a deep background in either the implementation of layout of the Web, the implementation of the DOM and its integration with JavaScript engines, or with systems programming (particularly in the spaces of graphics, networking, and mobile), we’d love to talk with you.
We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time and summer intern positions as software developers and software designers.
A little bit about us:
- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.
- Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
Recently, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap),
Angular.js, QT and of course Ruby.
- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.
- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.
- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
to lots of cool machines.
A little bit about Grand Rapids:
- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.
- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43
- If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.
- A growing technology and startup community.
A little bit about you:
- You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.
- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.
- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.
- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.
I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:
San Francisco, CA - Zenbox. Software Engineer. [LOCAL | RELOCATE OK]
We're a YC company with a private-beta sales tool that helps small and large companies catch opportunities from slipping through the cracks.
If you've ever run a startup, you know how difficult it can be to stay on top of sales. And you also know how many companies fail because of it. We want to make them succeed.
We also spend time improving our tooling, and tools for other developers.
* We run the SF ClojureScript meetup
* Incredibly modern stack: written entirely in Clojure/ClojureScript/Om/React
* Released the first reference Om app (https://github.com/sgrove/omchaya)
* Given presentations on how we see app development trending http://sgrove.github.io/omchaya/docs/presentation.html (hint: It's about to get much, much better, and referentially-transparent UI's and serializable state play a big part)
* We've vastly improved the source-map capabilities of the ClojureScript compiler
* Reified keywords to the runtime to make ClojureScript a better citizen on the web.
We do all of this for two reasons: 1.) We want to build apps that customers love in the best way possible, and that often means taking the time to explore proper approaches. With the right team and stack, we run circles around others, and 2.) because we want to give back to the communities that have enabled us.
We're looking for an engineer who loves the craft, who cares about building product, and is excited about helping customers.
Interested in working with Reactjs, Om, and functional programming in the client? We're building a team that's able to reduce complexity others balk at into simple, easy to reason about system, so we can continue to move quickly and delight both customers and ourselves.

-- Our warehouse currently runs off an in-house created Ruby server
-- TDD with rspec, capybara, and jasmine tests keeping things stable
-- Datastores - MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Memcached
-- iOS app in the app store - Honest Baby
======================
What will we look for in you?
We want to see someone who will take initiative to support the company's mission of delivering safe, eco-friendly, beautiful and affordable home and family products to all current and future customers. Someone who is known to smile and crack a joke while working on a difficult problem. You take pride in your work, deliver clean, well-tested code and are able to communicate with your teammates about your work and find creative ways to improve code and processes. We like to cross-train everyone to be full-stack engineers, so if you're back-end or front-end, we would also like you to want to learn the other side while working for us.
If this sounds like the type of place you would have a lot of fun working at, contact:
The Honest Technology Team - tech_hiring@honest.com
#1 - We're building a company at Entelo with a mission of changing how companies hire and think about talent acquisition.
#2 – We are helping companies build great teams and have over 100 paying customers including Box, Yelp, Square, ESPN and Groupon
#3 - The team is small so you'll play an integral role in building something meaningful.
#4 - We're doing some very interesting work at the intersection of big data, predictive analytics and HR/recruiting. (Our stack is a mix of Ruby, Scala, MySQL, MongoDB, elasticsearch and a bunch of other goodies.)
#5 - If the notion of "spray and pray" recruiting makes you a little nauseous and you want to do something about it, you should contact us. :)
#6 - We work out of a beautiful office in SOMA, close to Caltrain and AT&T Park; some of our perks include $300 headphone allowance, 100% coverage of employee health care premiums, 1:1 matching for donations to non-profits, and catered lunches.
At CircleCI we're building the next generation of developer automation: amazing Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly, build great things, and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.
We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook and Stripe and GitHub's cultures, and have as flat a structure as we can. We're looking for frontend engineers (JS), designers (must be able to HTML+CSS), and backend engineers (Clojure). Being a mix of those is of course welcome! We lean towards senior experienced engineers, or junior engineers who can display great talent.
We're also looking for engineers for Developer Success and Developer Awareness positions. Since we have an incredibly technical product, and selling directly to developers, the dev-awareness positions (think marketing, but much more dev-oriented: dev evangelism, writing interesting blogs, CRO, analytics, etc - think a patio11-style engineer) require significant development experience. Dev-success positions are a good fit for engineers who like working with people and building relationships with customers.
Hi! We’re Red Hot Labs from San Francisco and we're looking for a FULL-TIME DEV and a FULL-TIME ADMIN/GENERALIST.
We're on a mission to revolutionize how mobile developers harness their data. Our product, still in beta, functions as the central hub for all the services mobile developers already use. By weaving together the data from these disparate services, we gain a comprehensive view of the app and are uniquely positioned to deliver insights and value back to the developer.
This isn't our first trip around the block. Our previous startup was acquired by Zynga and our core technology turned into FarmVille and the rest of Zynga’s most successful games. It was a wild ride and now we’re full steam ahead on a new adventure. We're well backed by folks such as A16Z, Greylock, SVAngel, DCVC, and more.
We're looking for passionate, energetic, highly talented engineers to join our team. By becoming a foundational member of our team you will help shape the direction of our product, company and culture. We’re believe in constantly challenging ourselves to learn new things and would love to teach you what we know and learn from you as well.
We want all engineering members of the team to be full-stack engineers and well-rounded individuals. But, we're especially excited about the following engineering profiles:
==================================
- Senior Product Engineer: You've built products from concept all the way to
maturity. You're as opinionated and influential about product as you are about coding.
You're a master at JS/CSS/HTML and customer facing technologies.
Bonus points if you’re on-top of your front-end frameworks like Angular
(which we use!), Ember, or Meteor.
- Senior Systems Engineer: You've architected and scaled backend systems to
millions of users. You've put out every kind of fire and learned a lot in the
process. You understand the tradeoffs of different data stores, server
architectures, and low-level services.
- Senior Data Engineer: You've built models which extract insights or
predictions from large, living datasets. You can engage with a dataset in an
unfamiliar domain, grasp the dynamics of the system and impress subject area
experts with your result.
- Stupendous Junior Engineer: You don't have years of working experience, but
you have handful of mind-blowing personal or school projects. You were among
the best students at a top tier engineering university. Your TA's and
classmates gush about your code.
OUR STACK:
- Redis, MySQL, Rails for our backend API.
- Mostly AWS with a little bit of Heroku for our hosting.
- AngularJS, jQuery, Underscore, Node.JS with D3 for our dashboard and web apps.
- 3rd party services: Facebook, Mixpanel, Stripe, Mailgun
==================================
In addition, we're hiring for an admin/generalist position. We're looking for someone that doesn't necessarily know how to code (if you're interested in learning we can definitely help you there!), but is passionate about startups and is competent and considerate in any task thrown their way. This role would be to support the rest of the team to help with marketing, sales, general office admin stuff, scheduling interviews, QA, and so on. Basically, all of the "other stuff" in a startup.
Do any of the above profiles sound like you? Send us an email at: jobs@redhotlabs.com
We are building a seamless code delivery platform for embedded devices (like the Raspberry Pi). Think of it as Heroku for the Internet of Things if you must. We've already ported Docker to ARM CPUs and have hit quite a few more Linux, Docker & ARM related milestones internally.
We are a company founded and led by developers and have a strong engineering-led culture. As long as there is progress, we are flexible with regard to location and work hours.
About you
---------
We are looking for Linux talent to work on our cloud services, deployed as Docker containers, but also to work on supporting arbitrary Linux-capable devices. The product is still young so you'll get a chance to have real impact on how the end result looks and feels to our users.
Besides strong Linux skills, familiarity with Docker will help a lot. Much of our codebase (on cloud and device) is in node.js so JavaScript skill is a plus.
The Process
-----------
Send us your CV (a pointer to source code online is a great plus). Those that pass a phone interview will receive a small but paid project as a test. If we like working with you and you like working with us, you'll be offered a full-time job.
Weft - http://weft.io - Boston, MA + San Francisco, CA. INTERN welcome.
===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================
We're Waze for Cargo. Weft tracks shipping containers using low-cost hardware to make sure that shipments get to where they're supposed to be on time and intact, saving billions in lost value due to cargo shrink and disrupted supply chains. We take the info we get from the hardware and figure out where the bottlenecks in the supply chain are, predict whether or not a shipment is going to make it to its destination on time, and dynamically reroute/reschedule shipments so that we can optimize the system as a whole. Really neat stuff.
===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================
Web stack -> clojure (immutant) + titan (really scary graph database on top of cassandra) -- we use middleman + enlive (and a bit of hiccup) for templating
Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)
Hardware -> think cell phone on crack (atmel avr xmega, a bunch of sensors, gps, gsm, etc). Working integrated chip now! Have some pilots running with v1 hw.
===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors!
Looking for help at every point in the system (hardware, firmware, frontend, backend, algorithms, mobile, etc). Mostly focused on the data science aspect of Weft for the next few months.
I should also probably mention that we have a team with a bunch of industry vets!
If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!
(You probably haven't heard of Thumbtack. We've been flying under the Silicon Valley radar for quite some time.)
Thumbtack is a new way to find and hire people to help you get things accomplished: whether a DJ for the party you're throwing this weekend, a contractor to renovate your kitchen, or an SAT tutor to help you prep for exams, or anything else, Thumbtack will help. And on the flip side: if you provide any kind of service, Thumbtack will help you connect with new clients and grow your business. Millions of people are using Thumbtack already.
Our engineering team is currently 10 people. We're looking for software engineer generalists, or specialists in any domain (frontend, backend, mobile, ops, data science). I often describe our team as being academic, deliberate, and compassionate.
Things we like: Python (Pyramid), Postgres, Mongo, R, Pandas, AngularJS.
Our office is in SoMa. Our chef cooks amazing meals for us everyday, we brew a lot of our own beer, we read books together. We play, but mostly we're just excited to be making amazing products for our users and making their lives better.
Come help us transform the local services industry, bring it into the 21st century, and change the lives of millions of people.
AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay.
AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange markets.
We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything, designing and implementing our own trading strategies and infrastructure. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) looking to add one or two engineers focusing on strategy and/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 an infrastructure project is designing and building a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs covering everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss, and such hardware 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.

What we’re looking for: an experienced engineer who can move seamlessly between working with our client side application and helping us build our backend application and API services. If you have an interest in, and skills for, data analysis and visualization, even better!
Current technologies include:
Rails, Node, PostgreSQL, Mongo, Backbone with Marionette, Heroku, AWS, git, d3.js and lots more.
We value TDD and craftsmanship in our code, and good communicators who aren't afraid to bring strong opinions to the table with code to back it up.
We'd love to have you in our New York office, but we know how to have a great remote team & experience -- our lead developer on the consumer products side was remote for two years before coming to New York, our lead for the b2b analytics product is currently remote, and we've had full or part time team members from Philadelphia, California, India, Iraq, and Bulgaria.
We offer a competitive salary and good equity on simple and straightforward terms.
Senior PHP Engineer
We Are Base
Bournemouth, United Kingdom
Full time, in house
A bit about the role
This is a genuine opportunity to work alongside talented people to innovate and build digital services that make a difference to people every day, including an exciting product spin out. Working in an increasingly connected life, the role looks a little something like this:
1st class engineer
You will be used to working as part of an unsilo’d production team, where designers work alongside developers, in agile sprints where they’re useful. Your main skill set is writing PHP but you may have experience with other languages (like JavaScript/Node.js, Go, Objective C or Java) that has influenced how you code. You’ll be familiar with PHP frameworks, such as Symfony, Laravel, Aura & Zend, and building on top of content management systems, such as WordPress. You’ll be comfortable with object orientated design patterns, unit testing, APIs & databases. Every pony at Base is capable of more than one trick. You’ll have an understanding of usability and how that works with functionality
Data hungry
You’ll have a keen interest in datasets, with good skills in filtering the signals from the noise. You’ll have an eye to the future and know that tracking something now will make for way more interesting times later. You’ll be comfortable integrating 3rd party systems through APIs you’ve helped architect.
Open all hours
You’ll have a keen interest in the way openness in technology (and in particular open data) can change things. And you’ll have ideas that mash one set with another, whether you’ve realised them yet or not. Our developers come up with projects for our clients, rarely the other way round.
Solver of riddles
You won’t know the answer to every question that comes your way, but you’ll be someone who knows how to hunt it down. This job isn’t forensic science, but being able to piece the jigsaw back together and crack the nut is your daily bread. Inquisitive by nature you, like us, want to understand what makes things tick to make them better.
Getting shit done
You’ll understand technical debt and be acutely aware that most pieces of code aren’t perfect, but you’ll be good at balancing the need to do something beautifully and the need to do it fast, including both where you can. You’ll regularly use Git, bash scripting and Sass, or similar, because of what they bring to the table.
Commercially aware
You will be able to develop a genuine understanding of our client businesses, allowing you to identify opportunities for and with them. The best developers understand the end goal, not just their role in a project. You’ll be able to think commercially about the client business, as well as deliver work that doesn’t fall over as its user base scales. You’ll be expected to apply innovation to solve challenges, remembering that the best solutions are often beautiful in their simplicity.
Keen eye, tuned ear
An eye for detail and a high standard of output is important to the success of the role. We’ve developed a code standard that gives us a bar to reach for. You’ll play a part in developing and guiding it as we grow. You’ll know that most project budgets don’t allow interface designers to cover every inch of an application, so you’re good at communicating with them and finding ways to smartly join the dots with a minimum of fuss.
Security and speed
You’ll be hot on security too. The one thing that no one sees, until it goes to the wall. Then everyone knows about it. You’ll know how to react when an overseas friend tries to gain access to one of your servers from your years of ethical hacking. Creating applications that are quick is fundamental to the role too. An understanding of devices, connections and optimisation is key to delivering the quality we’re after. But then you already know that.
About We Are Base
We're a digital service design company that builds user-centred digital services for businesses, using data they already have.
We help our clients realise opportunities by transforming their data into something new and valuable. Clients include Timex, Garmin and Nottingham City Transport.
At Base you will be part of a team of makers and doers, working across a variety of projects and clients. We’re agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
We value and support CPD, actively seeking clients with a like-minded desire to push boundaries, providing you with an opportunity to build your experience and skills.
We practice a sustainable pace, recognising that we each have lives and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are rare by design.
We're a well-funded 1.5 year old startup working on the delivery of live video streams from our own cameras around the globe into an iPad app for children. We're currently rolling out our first two installations — in Dubai and in Moscow. And we just grew to ten people.
Both the client part (iOS) and the video processing backend (Python/ffmpeg) are being actively developed in-house. We're currently looking for a Python developer, full-time in London. Our office is at TechHub, in the heart of the Silicon Roundabout, but we'll be moving to the new office in the same area very soon.
The usual job description blurb is at our landing page at http://www.fountain-digital.com. I want to add that it's a great opportunity for a backend developer to get involved in a very serious wide-scale project. We're not in the business of making websites or Facebook apps, our video cloud routinely loads tens of large Amazon EC2 instances — and grows automatically as you add new video streams. We're really doing interesting work here.
If you've never done Python in production, but love distributed systems, programming at scale and are a strong all-rounder — feel free to apply anyway. We love working with smart and hardworking people.
If you want to ask anything about the product, technology, or anything else, drop me a line (I'm the CTO). My email is in the profile.
ClassDojo is used by over 15mm teachers and students to manage behavior in the classroom, using real time feedback and rewards that can also be shared with parents. We're an edtech startup with funding some of the biggest names in the valley (Jeff Clavier, Ron Conway, General Catalyst, Mitch Kapor...), and we're one of the fastest growing education companies of all time. We're the only non-YC company that Paul Graham has ever invested in.
We've built a product that makes a real difference and gets huge engagement with millions of kids, and we're about to take it to the next level, hopefully with you on board. We have a strong team, an extremely comfortable and relaxed environment and great salary + benefits. If you're a strong hacker who wants to use JavaScript to change the world, apply here:
Right now our most important hire is a senior iOS engineer. You will be joining a great iOS team of 2 very talented individuals, and you'll be working on some exciting features that millions of students, teachers and parents love. We think there's someone out there that will love building an amazing iOS product that makes teachers lives easier and improves lifetime outcomes for kids.
If you are a great developer with iOS experience, get in touch below - we think it will be the best move you ever make!

Join the most exciting startup in Stockholm, building something real - something that helps people all over the world grow their own business from their passion.
Tictail is a crazy place. You’ll work with some of the best people you’ve ever met, making incredibly ambitious things, with a ridiculous amount of responsibility. If you’re like us, you’ve probably dreamed of what you could accomplish if you just weren’t held back by your current boss, job, school or whatever else is in your way. Well, Tictail is your chance to shine.
We’re hiring slowly but surely. Because Tictail is nothing without our colleagues and our culture, we might not match your expectations of a normal recruitment process. We will definitely want to figure out if you’re smart and get things done, but more importantly we want to figure out if we click.
Tictail is built primarily with Python and Javascript, but not exclusively. Most importantly we use the right tool for the job and are happy to learn new things.
Right now, we are especially interested if you consider yourself a full stack developer, aspiring devop, an Android specialist or frontend magician. But if you’re smart, get things done and can’t wait to join Tictail, get in touch no matter what!
Please take a moment to reflect on the above, and send us an email if you find yourself imagining what life at Tictail might be like. We’d love to hear from you.
Please email jobs+hn@tictail.com with:
- GitHub profile or equivalent. Please point out some code, project or open source contributions you are particularly proud of!
The AWS team is hiring for technical, sales, and marketing positions at multiple locations around the world; see http://aws.amazon.com/careers/ .
We have a strong need for very senior developers (an SDE III in our system). SDE IIIs often have 10 to 15 years of experience, advanced degrees, a reputation that precedes them (well-known implementations and/or published papers), and the desire to remain hands-on despite hitting the experience level where advancement supposedly requires people management.
Feel free to contact me using the email address in my profile if you have any questions.
Historically we've worked with customers in the Federal space, but we're aggressively moving towards building the next generation of security intelligence for private companies. Rock-solid security is usually not the _biggest_ priority for a startup, so we'd like to change that by making it easier and more accessible.
We're opening an office right across the street from AT&T Park in San Francisco and have a boatload of open positions.
We've got a lot of really smart people on our team. We're also very diverse, with a good mix of male and female hackers from all different cultures. We run our own copies of Github and Hipchat behind the firewall, enjoy the ocassional argument on which editor is best, compete at the ping pong table regularly, and like getting together outside of work to unwind.
Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco/SOMA - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome
Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 40 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.
We've hired SIX full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!
We're looking for people who want to work with:
* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)
* Back-end infrastructure like machine learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!
* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)
* iOS or Android (we're a top 10 eBook app, with a tiny mobile team)
* Internships: junior standing or above. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.
That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.
We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.
We recently launched a service that's being called the "Netflix for books" and are really excited about it. Read more here: http://wrd.cm/1dJquzz
More info is at http://www.scribd.com/jobs, but as a HN user, feel free to apply directly by emailing me at jared at scribd.com.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)
iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.
Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:
* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.
* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping
Santa Monica, CA - Full-Time(Remote possible for right Candidate)
At Spout (http://spout.co) we're building Twilio for finance. We've only been at it a few months and we've already added over 700 banks and bill providers to the platform.
We're enabling developers to build awesome applications with bank and bill provider(Cell phone bills, utility bills, etc) data.
We're still a small team (2 growing to four in the next two weeks), but we're looking for a few more early hires.
If working on hard problems (data extraction is the name of our game) and working with big data (we currently only have hundreds of thousands of rows, but its quite clear it will grow to billions of rows at the least very quickly) are on your to-do list we'd love to chat.
Right now we're looking for Senior engineers and we're not particularly worried about your language of choice, since we're helping devs build integrations in many different languages having our core team be a well rounded bunch of polyglots is important.
Some things you'll be doing on a daily basis.
* Answering support emails and chats - Our customers are engineers and with our engineers answering their questions we can build a much better relationship with them over time as well as drastically improve the product
* Working in our customers codebases to help them integrate Spout quickly and painlessly
* Hacking on our core API and finding more efficient ways to extract data from the providers we support and the new ones we're adding for our customers
* Pushing changes to our API dashboard or sandbox that we're currently building to help give devs more insight into their products so we can help them grow their business.
* Hacking things for productivity around the office, whether its a new webhook integration from github to hipchat, or just something to make us smile when a new customer signs up we believe in working on projects that are fun quick hacks and keep up office Morale as well as make us better at making our customers happy.
In an ideal world you will also be:
* Outgoing - We really need our first core engineers to serve as Customer Support, Developer Evangelist and Full-Stack engineers. We know its asking alot, but if wearing many hats is your idea of a good time, we want to chat - you won't ever lack a sense of responsibility around here!
* Willing to put together teams for hackathons - We'd love it if we could all hack together on the weekends and build cool things with our API or help other devs do it at things like startup weekend etc.
* Be active in the open source community - We think its important to give back to the community, great open source devs have taught us all so much about programming, at Spout we want to contribute back to that community and help nurture the new developers who will eventually be building awesome things on our API.
* Willing to speak at conferences - We want our engineers to make names for themselves and we want to hire the best. We'd love it if you were an authority in your area of expertise or at least wanted to stay on the edge of what you were doing, we're big believers in telling everyone about what we're doing and having them learn from us as we learn from them too.
In addition to these things we're offering meaningful equity and salary and we are working to build a culture of builders who love what they're doing.
Working together as a team is important to us and if you are the type of dev who is regularly looking for the next best thing it may not be a good fit, we want people who want to work with us and we'll err more to the side of eagerness to learn than expertise that is just looking for a higher salary every chance they get.
That said, we're paying well and you shouldn't be taking a pay cut to come here, we generate real revenue already and we're just getting started.
Come be a part of something big, we can't wait to talk to you.
We plan to hire 160 developers and researchers focused on NLP, ML, and cloud services in 2014. We hire mostly in the US - main sites are East Village NYC (checkout our new headquarters http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/watson-hq.h...), Yorktown NY, Boston, Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Austin.
Guess what -- the link to your jobs page triggers a popup blocker under default Chrome settings. The cross-domain URL, most likely. Seriously, this should have been really obvious to whoever set that page up.
But either way -- talk about going out of your way to make it difficult for people to find out why they might want to come work for you.
We run The npm Registry and are the stewards of the open-source npm client and related open-source projects. We want to make Node.js awesome for everybody. You may have heard of us, particularly yesterday, when we broke something important and a lot of people got mad.
We are interested in hiring all sorts of people this year, but our priority right now is a DevOps engineer -- we already have a couple, but we are growing fast and need to improve our reliability, so we need more. (This was already our priority before yesterday, I promise)
We like working on npm because JavaScript is fun, and solving problems that lots of people have -- about how to share code, deploy it, and scale it -- are really rewarding. We are not interested in working long, life-destroying hours. We are interested in working with people who are sane, fun, and friendly. We have a strict no-assholes policy.
We are also accepting applicants for a summer internship. There's more details on both jobs here:
TLDR: remote workers, full-stack, JS, Node, Angular, Express, Mongo, Holacracy, Golang, Redis, Grunt, Bower, LESS, web + mobile

Hey guys... We got a great response on this back in January and now we are expanding.... So here is an updated version now that we are a team of two hiring.
Hey, HN. One of you is perfect for this idea.
We are two serial entrepreneurs currently trapped in the professions of being a freelance contractor. We have relatively stable 40 hour a week projects, and incoming projects as well that I generally can't take due to lack of resources (time, the most precious one)
So here's the idea.
You. Are interesting and have some experience in coding (webapps, mobile, whatever) would be a coding apprentice.
I would give you a guaranteed 20 hour a week gig for now, and flex additional work as it comes in and you are available.
(also now looking for 40 hours)
You would work on entrepreneurial ideas and contracts and get paid for doing so. If something took off the ground we could negotiate revenue/equity, but no matter what you will be getting paid.
Here is what you get.
Money
Freedom and Flexibility (need the day off to deal with a hangover because you are in college and its friday?)
Real World Education
Ability to become a killer coder
and whatever else. we are pretty flexible
Languages?
Python/Ruby Obj-C Javascript(Node)
You name it.
If you can show competency in some language we currently do, then we can work together and you can get paid to learn and become an expert at any other languages as required.
About us, your 'bosses'.
Boss #1 (Portland Office)
Early 30s. Built several large-scale enterprise applications used by Fortune 500 companies. Lead engineering and product for a VC-funded healthcare startup. Last company built infrastructure that stored over 1 billion objects and transferred hundreds thousand objects per day.
Currently living in PDX (Inner SE) and renting a space at a co-working facility. Open to having you work here, or at my house. I prefer day hours, 10-6pm PST, but I am flexible.
Boss #2 (New York Office)
Late 20s. Been in and out of various startups. Started ideas from scratch. Reasonably connected in the 'valley'. No stranger to a term sheet. I have done hiring for a YC company. Been on both the business and engineering side of places.
Currently living in NYC (manhattan) with enough room for you to come clock hours, but you can be remote as well, or both.
I have been travelling a lot because it means that working 9-5 EST is a much more reasonable 12-8 or even sometimes 9pm - 5am.
I like tinkering with OSS and hardware too, obsessed with gadgets.
==============
tl;dr
Long story short, you will get paid to learn how to code in the real world, become an entrepreneur or freelancer (or both) and then hopefully be able to repeat this process.
You'll get hands on attention and code reviews without some PM breathing down your neck. (unless you are working on a project that requires it).
We'll figure out a good hourly rate, and when you are working on a project that is paid, probably double it. And then fall back to the normal rate when we are working on whatever random ideas I want to incubate.
email hn0314@boun.cr with a little bit about yourself, a resume if you have it, and most importantly either a github or code sample.
Knewton builds the tools and infrastructure needed to create continuously adaptive learning applications driven by real-time proficiency estimation, activity recommendations, concept-level analytics, and more.

Hey everyone, hope your weekend is off to a killer start!
February just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 16 person team spread across 12 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $333,000 in February, and we have $520,000 in the bank. The average salary at the company is $98,000 and our total funding to date is $450,000 which we raised in December 2011, for which we gave up 14% of the company. I'm sharing all of this because one of the highest values we have at Buffer is to be fully transparent, and I'd love for you to be part of the incredible journey we've embarked upon.
At 16% month over month revenue growth on average in the last 6 months, we're seeing increasing demand to build out the product further and help our fast-growing customer base with all their social media problems. To achieve this, we'd love your help with some interesting engineering challenges.
Do any of these areas stand out for you? I'd really love to hear from you:
- Reliability Hacker (we're sending 400,000 posts to social networks every day,
our architecture is still not ideal)
- Happiness (Support) Hacker (we have a crazy obsession for customer happiness
and want to build our own tools to go beyond what's normal)
- Android Lead (our Android app has half a million downloads but currently no
full-time developer!)
- iOS Hacker (our favorite people who use Buffer are all crying out for an
iPad app)
- Growth Hacker (our landing page conversion is at 7%, we'd love your help
improving it and many other metrics)
- Frontend Hacker (last month 130,000 people used Buffer, we'd love to improve
our dashboard interface and extensions for them)
Some of the tech we work with: PHP, Python, MongoDB, AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, Elasticache, SQS), Backbone.js, Grunt.js, Android, iOS).
- We're completely open about salary and equity, in fact here is a spreadsheet
of all individual salaries: https://docs.google.com/a/bufferapp.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgrWVeoG5divdE81a2wzcHYxV1pacWE1UjM3V0w0MUE&usp=drive_web#gid=1.
It's most likely you'd fall into a range of $85,000-$120,000 and 0.1%-1%.
- We're a fully distributed remote team, and we come together 3 times a year for
super fun retreats. The last one was in Thailand in December, our next is
Cape Town in April!
- We have a big focus on culture, that's the main thing we think about when someone
joins the team. Here is our slide deck of values: http://www.slideshare.net/Bufferapp/buffer-culture-03
I'll read through emails with our CTO Sunil, I hope yours might be part of that. Send him a quick note at thenexthacker@bufferapp.com. If you'd like you can check out more details about all the areas we need help with at http://jobs.bufferapp.com
I'm excited about the chance to work with you. If you have any questions about our culture, product or journey so far, add a reply to this - I'll be checking throughout the day to get back to you :-)
Hi! right now since it's still the early set of people for the team and we're establishing the culture, we're looking primarily for people who will be fully on board full-time. in the future I think we might reach a point where part-time could start to work. Hope that helps, let me know if I can answer anything else :-)
Hi Michael, we're certainly in need of help in terms of DevOps and Systems Engineering challenges too. Our architecture has a lot of room for improvement and we'd benefit a lot from having someone focus on systems. Let me know if you have any more questions here!
I checked out the jobs page on the site and there doesn't seem to be a listing for internships? Do you guys offer any internships, specifically for college students?
You guys are doing a great job by taking the openness to a new level - love that! Sent an email for your backend position, would love to hear back from you.
Hey Adit, thanks so much for the kind words, it's comments like this that make me excited to get out of bed every day and continue building the company and reflecting on the culture! We're still looking for help with design, would love to hear from you :-)
We've pondered this a lot and have decided this Summer will be a little early for us to be set up for internship positions. I'm hoping we might do it next Summer!
What if the intern acted as though it was full-time? I'm asking because I would be interested in applying for this summer. I know you're not looking, but I think I could really make an impact.
You and Buffer continue to be awesome. If I ever shut down my startup and work for somebody, I'd first apply to you. Is that a good enough compliment? :-)
Yes, absolutely! I am a Brit living in San Francisco and my co-founder is Austrian. We know this process well having been through it personally for both of us and several others in the team.
Our philosophy is that we should all have the opportunity to be in the single place on Earth that makes us the happiest and most productive, and we want to encourage you to find that place and help you be there. We have a fantastic immigration lawyer we work with and 100% success rate obtaining visas.
You sound like an amazing CEO :) I really dig the company culture.
If Buffer isn't hiring for Summer internships, I suppose hiring for a 16-month internship is out of the question?
Wow, thanks so much. I still have a huge amount to learn :-) Luckily there are a lot of great books out there and mentors around who I can learn from in order to try and become the best CEO I can be.
I think there's a chance a 16 month internship could work, be sure to get in touch :-) If you're self-driven and can add to the team and help us move forward, we'd definitely take a look!
As primarily a Python/Javascript shop, we welcome polyglots and believe very strongly in open source. We use the right tool for the job. You should be familiar with at least 2 of the 3 requirements below:
## Application Development
You are comfortable working on very external-facing applications in a distributed services oriented architecture. Must be able to work in an environment where deploying multiple times a day is a norm, but can step back and think about polishing the product. You understand that you must test everything. You live and breathe tests.
## Infrastructure / Systems
You're familiar and comfortable with everything below the application layer. You want to work on performance tuning, database instrumentation, and server architecture. You think, live, and breathe statistics.
## Machine Learning / Data Engineer
You're good with math. Really good. You understand terms like feature extraction, selection, and know what a Euclidean space is. You love linear algebra. People have previously commented about how algorithms are your best friend. You're constantly innovating on how to collect, slice, dice, and analyzing data. You recognize that visualizations are important. You also have a good understanding of how to construct good clean code.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, INTERN/H1B) - http://climate.com/careers
The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide real-time pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance to farmers in the United States.
Climate's technical staff numbers around 80, and we're hiring full-time employees and interns across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of decision support tools for growers. Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:
1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.
2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.
3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product.
The scale and interdiscplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very important problems.
Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are here: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=o7B8Wfww&s=hackernews
