We are a funded startup focused on improving how people fundamentally browse and interact with online services. We combine UX/UI innovation with data algorithms to allow users to accomplish tasks in a more usable, efficient, and social manner.
We work mainly with JS (jquery and node.js) and HTML5. Mobile developers should be familiar with iOS/Android.

Altera is one of the leading designers of FPGA devices in the world. I'm an engineer in the software team, developing mostly embedded design and instrumentation tools for FPGAs. We are looking for software developers experienced or with a strong desire to learn about Computer Architecture, FPGA design, Digital Logic, Embedded Systems, and more, while at the same time developing engineering design tools in high level languages.
To give you an idea of what we do, these are some of the projects that involved me at Altera :
* Designed and implemented a high performance on-chip network that's used
in thousands of routers, base stations, and switches around the world.
* Created a hardware/software instrumentation framework in a mix of Java, C++, C,
and Verilog. This is the foundation for all the debuggers at Altera.
* Modified the GCC toolchain to add support for Altera's processors, like our
NiosII soft processor.
* Implemented a GDB Server from scratch in Java.
* Defined and implemented the pieces of an ARM CoreSight debug subsystem.
* Implemented infrastructure used in a C-to-Gates compiler.
* Spent hours hacking away with the tools and many of the available
development boards.
I've mentioned before that we have a few engineers who work half-time-ish (and do their own things the rest of the time) and it got some positive feedback: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3850480
We're ready to hire a couple more in this vein, so if it sounds interesting let me know!
=========
Advantages for you:
- you get 2-3 extra weekend days for fun and profit
- we provide health insurance and all that jazz
- if some weeks you don't have lots to do and want to work more, and other weeks you have lots to do and want to work less, we can be flexible
- we're profitable and growing! so if you decide "wow I really love Verba and want to spend every waking moment there" we can make that dream come true
Advantages for us:
- you have more time to learn new things, meet new people and generally be a friendlier, happier, more knowledgeable person in our workplace
- we can hire faster with less anxiety (instead of the "gulp i just committed $100k/yr" feeling, we have the "smaller gulp i just committed $50k/yr" feeling :)
- you get to be a part of what we're doing, we get to hear about all the cool stuff you're doing, and that can only lead to good things for both of us
Anyway, I've included our spiel and "what we're looking for" summary below, so shoot me an email if you're interested (ragalie@verbasoftware.com).
========
The college textbook market is currently being disrupted. Verba helps college bookstores transform themselves so that they a) understand and embrace the power of the nets, b) become agents of change in the textbook industry instead of agents of reaction and c) continue to make a healthy profit.
We're a B2B company working with around 225 colleges and universities, and we're looking for people familiar with Ruby, Rails, MySQL and JS who can help us grow faster. We (thankfully) don't have too many scaling problems, but we have a ton of opportunities (product and partner-based) that we could move on much faster with a few more hands on deck.
The ideal person has strong Rails knowledge, solid testing practices, a good head for architecture and knows enough JS to help out on front-end.
Be sure to check out our website (http://www.verbasoftware.com) so you can read all about our current products and hear people say nice things about us.

| Redwood City, CA - UI Engineer |
+--------------------------------+
Like everybody else in the industry, we're finding hiring to be a difficult problem. For those of us on the UI team it's been an extra challenge -- there are lots of people out there who have experience with toolkits like jQuery, Ext, Sencha Touch, and a whole bunch of other ones, some of which we've never heard of. But we're not simply using frameworks, we're pushing them well beyond what they were intended to do. So if you've got relevant framework experience, that's great. But we really need engineers that are good at the basics: JavaScript, DOM, HTML, and CSS. You'll also need to be decent at UI design and user experience. If you're not just good but great at either of these things (or both!), that's awesome, but we also need you to be able to write code. This isn't just a run of the mill web dev job. This is actual, hard core software engineering, it just happens that the stuff we're (the UI team) doing is all running in the browser.
Tidemark is building a hosted business analytics system, which is way more interesting than it might sound. The company is well-funded and we have people with decades of experience in the field.
We've got a bunch of other openings as well (see http://tidemark.net/company/careers)
* Technical Support Engineer
* Director of People Operations
* Operations Engineer
* Graphic Designer - Web Developer Emphasis
* Sr. Technical Writer
* Enterprise Account Executive
* Application Tier Developer
* Computation Engine Developer
Looking for senior Ruby on Rails, JavaScript rich client, or Django developers for our young, privately-funded startup (no plans to take any more $$). We're building technology to help disrupt the small/medium business recevables space. Our software will help mom-and-pops collect money that is owed to them; without us, their options are pretty bleak (try and recover themselves or go to the guy around the corner who will do the proverbial "baseball-bat on kneecaps" ploy).
Requirements are: Super smart, amazing at Ruby on Rails OR JavaScript OR Django. You must be willing to attend and/or present at meetups, conferences, etc. and represent Funding Gates so that other awesome folks want to work here, so you must have great written and verbal communication skills.
Our company is optimized for developer happiness, have unlimited (mandatory) vacation and a Results Only Work Environment (http://www.gorowe.com), and is run by folks that know how to treat developers. See one of my submissions: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3729302
Contact rogish at fundinggates.com with your github, stackoverflow, etc.
Thanks!!
