THE GUARDIAN | SENIOR/SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS | LONDON | ONSITE | FULL-TIME

Development of digital products is central to the future of the Guardian. We build the products that showcase our diverse and important journalism. We create the tools that the journalists and editors use to write their stories securely, anywhere from London to Syria. We write the APIs and services that allow those stories to be distributed across the globe. We write the products and interfaces that show off and monetise that content to its maximum potential.

We mostly program in Scala and Javascript, but we use the best tool that fits the problem. We have hacks in the wild in all manner of languages. Our infrastructure lives on AWS and our own OpenStack private cloud. We encourage product teams to implement, manage and support their own stack. We do our coding in public. Sadly, the same can be said of our karaoke.

You’re a passionate, intelligent human being who loves technology. You might love the news, or you might want to reinvent it. You like inspiring the people you work with and being inspired by them in return. You have experience of getting stuff done. You are a talented Engineer who is, or will be, an expert in their chosen field and has a strong interest in all software engineering disciplines.

Further information can be found on our Developer Blog: http://developers.theguardian.com/join-the-team.html

FrackOptima | Riverside, CA | Remote OK My email: john.reaver@frackoptima.com About Us FrackOptima is a startup in the petroleum industry that aims to make hydraulic fracturing safer and more efficient through industry-leading simulation software. We are currently a small, 3-person team based in Riverside, CA, but we are already in the middle of a few development contracts with some very large companies, including Sh…

(More info)

We would like to hire someone full-time, but if you are unsure about committing to the company, we would be fine starting off with a short contract period of a few months.

Work Environment

We highly value self-directed individuals who also have a thirst for learning. In fact, we strongly encourage our team to take time to learn new things to do their job more effectively. We understand that trying to force productivity out of people creates unhappy workers and leads to technical debt. We strive to meet deadlines early and often so we can have breathing room to test new ideas or refactor existing ones.

Remote

Remote is OK if you have experience working remotely; we just might want you in Riverside a few times a year. All of our 3 person team lives in Riverside, but we are always happy to accommodate a remote position if it means we can get the best talent. We use version control, continuous integration, and are very comfortable communicating ideas/issues online.

Apply!

If interested, contact me directly at my email: john.reaver@frackoptima.com. Please attach a resume as well.

Code for America | San Francisco | on site

Code for America needs your help building Chime [1], its first commercial product: an open-source [2], git-based Python CMS built specifically to make city websites great. Full job description: http://codeforamerica.org/jobs/chime/

In particular, we're looking for a full-stack or back-end engineer who likes mentoring, so that a) we can ship more of the great features in our backlog, and b) we'll be ready to hire more junior engineers while keeping code quality high.

What are we doing? City websites are a resident's major interface to government. We believe that US city websites could be radically better. (As an example, compare https://gov.uk with your local city website; note how approachable and user-focused the former is.) A big part of the solution is a tool that makes it easy for city employees to do the right thing, making it easy for them to get good, user-friendly changes out quickly. We aim to make the lives of millions of residents better.

How are we doing it? The lowest level is git, which we trust to handle many people working in parallel on large, complicated sets of files. On top of that is Python and Flask for a straightforward, approachable back end code base. We currently use Travis to run our substantial unit test suite, and automatically deploy to AWS via Chef and Docker. We do that all through close collaboration, a cross-functional team, and shared decision-making informed by lots of user research. This all happens in a successful, well-regarded non-profit where you will get to meet lots of interesting people. (Last week at the kitchen snack jars, I ran across Tim O'Reilly.)

If that's appealing, to apply just send me an email at william@codeforamerica.org with the 3 things listed here: http://codeforamerica.org/jobs/chime/

Questions welcome, either here or via email.

Enigma|NYC

Enigma is a past TechCrunch Disrupt NYC Battlefield Startup Winner. We just raised a successful Series B Round and planning to rapidly grow this year. We started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come. Beyond our core Web App (http://enigma.io/publicdata/) we are building revolutionary tools that we hope will make a significant impact in the the enterprise. We are roughly 40 people and moving to a brand new cutting edge space in the Flatiron neighborhood in NYC.

We're hiring for Software Engineers, Data Engineers and more:http://enigma.io/careers/ If interested, feel free to shoot me a message: lee.gutman@enigma.io Also check out our blog for more background :http://blog.enigma.io/
