Pathgather - NYC - Senior/Lead Frontend Engineer (pathgather.com)

Hello HN! We’re Pathgather, a Techstars NYC 2014 startup looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer, a Javascript expert that can come in and own one of the most engaging interfaces in the enterprise market today.

Our product is an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems - is one employees actually want to use. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all large and fast-growing companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern content on a system built for today’s employee. More than 75% of all companies use a Learning Management System (LMS) in hopes to help with this problem, but their > 60% dissatisfaction rate shows these systems simply don’t work. We’re changing that.

We launched earlier this year and our product is already in use by tens of thousands of employees at some of the world’s most recognizable brands: Qualcomm and HBO, to name a couple (we’re also about to launch within one of the world’s largest companies). We’re a small team, but we’ve got investment capital in the bank, real revenue coming in the door, and are now looking for the right person who is ready to take ownership of our frontend.

What we’re looking for:

* Javascript/Coffeescript expertise

* Strong experience with AngularJS

* Mastery of CSS & HTML

* UX focus

* Design skills a huge bonus

* Ruby/Rails knowledge another bonus, but certainly supplemental

What we can offer:

* A (more than) competitive salary & equity

* Opportunities to contribute to the open source community. Every Friday, you have the opportunity to work on anything open source: you can contribute to existing projects, work on your own, or open source a part of our codebase. We’ve already open sourced our recommendation and prediction engine (https://github.com/Pathgather/predictor) and would love to do more!

* An awesome team to work with, in an awesome location! We work in the Techstars NYC office with several of New York’s most promising startups.

* A chance to have a truly influential role at a company with an ambitious mission: to foster a culture of learning and continual improvement within every workforce through an engaging, rewarding, and collaborative learning platform.

If any of this sounds interesting or if you have some questions, please reach out to me at jamie@pathgather.com. Thanks!

Exa (http://exa.com) Burlington, MA (on 128 outside Boston) | Full-time | H1B welcome

We're a relatively small software company that develops simulation/analysis/design products which are used extensively for product design in a number of industries (e.g. automotive, aerospace, and motorsports to name a few). We have a few open positions in the SW team:

- I manage the preprocessor group here and we're looking to add a developer to help implement the next generation preprocessor (C++ development of a GUI product with 3D graphics using Qt on Windows & Linux). The job description lists a senior role with 5-7 years experience required, but I'd definitely be open to considering a more junior candidate:

http://exa.com/senior-software-engineer---graphical-preproce...

- Another manager here is putting together a team to build a new product to serve as a single high-level entry point that will help users manage the workflow involved with our various engineering software products. At the moment, I believe he's looking at more senior candidates who would be able to play a key role in architecture decisions and help to build the team moving forward.

We have other software positions listed on our website but these are the two that we're recruiting aggressively at the moment.

UI Engineer - Crimson Hexagon - Boston

We use machine learning techniques to make sense of a vast reservoir of social data. As one of the few companies with direct access to the Twitter Firehose as well as the full Facebook and Google+ APIs, we face unique UI problems that you'll help solve with your keen sense of design and attention to detail. You'll be architecting new features and workflows that our customers will use to pull valuable insight out of hundreds of billions of social media posts.

There's no precedent for a lot of what we do. Familiarity with modern JavaScript frameworks is a plus, but not a requisite-- We value your ability to think laterally, collaborate, communicate, and execute above everything. We like people who have a background in freelancing. We also like people who come to programming via nontraditional means.

Top pay, top benefits, located in Boston's Seaport district. We're big enough not to be a monoculture, but small enough not to be a corporate cult.
