The Ksplice group at Oracle
Does writing Python clones of your favorite childhood computer games sound like a fun weekend project? Would you hack on an old-school graphics demo that fits into a DOS MBR in your free time? Have you ever told a joke whose punch line was a git command? If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
About us
We are a small, tight-knit team of 12 women and men excited to work on technology that most people will tell you is impossible: updating an operating system kernel while it is running. Our product, Ksplice Uptrack, is a subscription service for Linux that provides completely non-disruptive, rebootless kernel updates. (You can read more about the underlying technology at http://www.ksplice.com/paper)
We're looking for a full-stack engineer with strong Python experience: Help us bring the Ksplice Uptrack client to new Linux distribution releases, improve our server infrastructure, and develop and extend our REST API and Django-based web interface.
If this technology excites you, let's talk! Feel free to direct questions to me at jamie.iles@oracle.com or to jobs@ksplice.com. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.
We create tools and services that help optimize the day-to-day of music professionals: labels, artists, etc. We use the latest technologies in order to rapidly iterate and build the best possible product for our users. We are a small company of around 20 creative people and our lean structure allows us to move fast, cut the crap, and ship.
We are not afraid to try new things: our labs team has written audio decoders in JavaScript for MP3, ALAC, FLAC, and AAC, along with a pitch detector. We know the difference between production code and research code. We love open-source and it loves us back.
The ideal candidate has:
* Expertise in Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and related technologies.
* Familiarity with modern tools, such as Git, SCSS, and other.
* Experience with agile methodologies, TDD, sprints and poker planning, daily stand-ups.
* An opinion. We want you to argue about the right way to do things. If something isn’t up to our level of quality, we expect an intervention.
* Excitement about music and desire to work in this area.
Our stack includes:
* Ruby on Rails 3
* Nginx + Passenger
* PostgreSQL
* Full text search

We’re offering you a full-time, permanent position in New York City to create the second product of our music platform (ask us for details).

Freedom Freight
Rails Engineers, iOS Engineer
The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Freedom Freight is here to change that by deploying the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping. Over $30 billion dollars a month is spent trucking freight around the US, without it, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry today still runs on phones and fax machines, but until now, it has. This means hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight capacity goes unfilled every month due to the old-school inefficiencies of the industry. We are changing that.
If you're ready to change the trucking industry, send your resume and GitHub profile to sean@freedomfreightusa.com
Percolate is a very quickly growing SAAS company in NYC. We are building a tool that helps brands create content across social. What makes us unique is that we're the only platform that doesn't already assume a brand knows what to say. To help them figure that out we pull data from across the web and make recommendations on interesting content (whether their own or third-party) that might be interesting at any moment.
We're looking for backend (all levels) and frontend engineers (we run backbone.js alongside our RESTful API) to join the team (the company is 21, product team is currently at 12). On the backend, we're especially interested in folks with good experience working with lots of data and excited to build real-time systems (we run python).
Here's a few reasons why you should come work here: - You are gonna work in SOHO on Broadway - Your chance to work with big data - You come in early: We're only-and-a-half a year old - As we get bigger, you will be able to focus on what you are good at - We are all different and we love it - GPL compliant company - You choose your workstation - You choose your tools - No worries, free your mind: NY salary + medical + dental - No vacation policy - does not mean no vacation ;) - Company invests in you: Fly to PyCon and other conferences - We prefer quality over quantity: Focus on clean code and test coverage - Your voice will be heard
If you're interested email us at jobs@percolate.com. If you have any questions you can email me directly at noah@percolate.com Thanks.
