Aclima is an early-stage company based in San Francisco that designs and deploys distributed, large-scale sensor networks to empower people with actionable environmental quality data. Our end-to-end solutions collect, process and analyze real-time streaming data from thousands of sensors, enabling a level of environmental awareness that has never been possible before. We believe our technologies can redefine the way we imagine and manage our buildings, communities, and cities, helping us improve our collective well-being. We are looking for passionate engineers to help build and scale our platform. We have no required list of skills or years of experience. Instead, we’re looking for engineers who are smart and get things done. Python experience will come in handy, though, as well as experience with large-scale distributed system development. Our engineering culture values rapid iteration, continuous improvement, and as much automation as is sensible. We work in a relaxed, purpose-driven atmosphere with flexible hours and competitive perks.

Our stack includes: Python 2.7, Git, MariaDB, Cassandra, Nginx, NSQ, Redis, Ansible

If you’re up for the challenge, contact us: jobs@aclima.io

Company: TheLadders (http://www.theladders.com)

Location: New York, NY

Postion: Full-time on-site software engineer

TheLadders' mission is to match people with the jobs that are right for them. In order to do that we need a strong engineering team.

Currently we are looking for a software engineer to join our Platform Engineering Team. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining the software and systems that power our websites, mobile applications, and marketing.

A few things about us:

* We try to use the right tool for the right job; maybe a shell script, maybe multiple Storm topologies communicating via RabbitMQ and reading data from internal web services. And while we have found some tools that work, we're always willing to incorporate new ones if they give us a new way of tackling a problem.

* We know that engineering is all about understanding tradeoffs, not applying the same solution over and over again to every problem.

* Sometimes we get to work with fun new tools (Scala, Clojure, Storm, Elastic Search), sometimes we work with old standards (Java, Python, Bash). Sometimes we write cool new code, sometimes we are on call dealing with a production issue.

* We think pushing code into production is only the beginning of our job. We are responsible for what we put out in the world, including monitoring and maintainence.

A few things about you:

* You're an engineer, but you know how to think like an operations person.

* You cut your teeth in open source software, and know how to find documents, read the source, ask for help, and report a bug.

* You're excited about glamorous work, but you're willing to sometimes do shit work, because in the end somebody has do it.

If this sounds interesting and you think you'd be a good match, or if you're interested in learning the skills to become a good match, please get in touch with Andrew Turley (aturley@theladders.com).

Wit.AI (YC W14) (https://wit.ai/jobs) - fulltime, Palo Alto

We are building the AI platform that helps 3000+ developers create apps that understand human language [1].

We’d like to hear from you if:

- You are a full-stack software engineer: you know how to build entire projects/features from Web UI to core ML algorithms

- You are curious: you can’t resist the urge to solve hard problems, learn new domains, try new things, and you don’t take “that’s impossible” for an answer

- You have done many mistakes (we know you won’t make them again)

Experience in NLP/Speech/Machine Learning is not required (and actually we also like when you don’t have any: curiosity > knowledge). Being ready to learn/do whatever it takes to succeed, from Clojure to Javascript to supporting users to C to assembling furniture, is expected though.

Check out https://wit.ai/jobs for details

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk [1] is looking for Javascript/TypeScript Engineers. We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with information that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end [2]. Silk is well-funded by top-tier VCs (NEA and Atomico) and we're located in the city center of Amsterdam.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) On-site in Piscataway, NJ or remote for extremely strong candidates

Multiple exciting roles are available for technical innovators who can drive product design and then make their vision come to fruition.

You would be working within a team dedicated experimentation and research and development. Some of our ideas stick, others do not. You should be comfortable working in an environment where priorities rapidly change - and you must be able to manage yourself.

Interested individuals should email innovation@ieee.org and include the type of work you most enjoy doing, areas of technology that you'd want to get involved with if you had the chance, how much time you have per week to dedicate to this work, and your hourly rate.

I am placing a premium right now on front-end designer/developer hybrids. You know who you are...
