Bay Area (Burlingame): mid-level engineer. Our product is a highly configurable LAMP web application in the high-volume event management space. It's an end-to-end solution, from registration to check-in to reporting. There are also modules for exhibitor registration, session management, housing, and air travel.

Our technologies include the Zend Framework, Git, Jira, Hudson, and a highly-available MySQL replication solution. We use agile methodologies to support the product in two monthly maintenance releases, tightly paired to a sprint. If you're familiar with "A Successful Git Branching Model", you have a solid idea of how we pair sprints to releases. Our team is distributed between California and Virginia.

Some unusual selling points for our business: * Engineers spend roughly 10% of their total time traveling in support of events using the software. It's a fun opportunity to see new places, learn new things (we do a lot of major technology conferences), and get a lot of cool conference freebies.

* The business is not a startup; it's a small business. You can generally expect to go home on time every day. There is no "sweat equity" -- you get paid a fair market value for your time.

* We are on the federal holiday schedule. This generally allots a few more days off than your usual small business/startup.

* The product is currently fairly stable for the majority of its use cases. You'll have a lot of opportunity to work on enhancements and new features as you become more familiar with how it works.

* While we have a daily scrum meeting, we hold it in IRC. That means you have one less meeting to distract you from what you're doing every day, since you can work in parallel.

Feel free to check out http://www.aetherquest.com/ to learn more about our company. If you're interested in applying or just have any questions, feel free to email me at relwell@ the domain above.

Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles area)

TRUECar.com - TrueCar shows consumers how much people actually paid for a particular new car in their area, then guides them to dealers we've certified. When someone buys from a dealer we've sent them to, we get paid. We already have solid revenues, are well funded and and are growing rapidly. We need lots of technical talent to help us grow.

* JAVA - We are looking for talented Java developers and architects to design and build the technology used to power our production websites, APIs, widgets, and internal tools. This is a chance for you to join a growing company and build something that's going to scale to support millions of users/visitors and provide them with all kinds of data.

* Senior Systems Engineers - Got Linux? Keep our 200+ servers going strong.

* Front End - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. Help build out our main site and our partner sites.

* QA engineers - More software, more bugs. Help us find them.

* Statistician/Data Mining Specialist - We need bright people to help us develop statistical pricing models. SAS/PROC SQL skills are needed.

* Python/Django - Our main site is in Django, which means we need serious talent to help it scale and expand as we continue to grow. Plus, you'll get to work with me.

* We also have some non-technical openings for senior positions in marketing, customer retention, HR, finance and accounting. Email me for details.

My story - moved from Atlanta all the way out to Santa Monica after stopping by the TrueCar booth at PyCon 2011. I started here three month ago and love it. I'm working with a great team that knows how to develop software and for management who seems to "get it" with regards to software developers.

The Python team in an open workspace that has a view of the ocean (http://picplz.com/user/dabent/pic/tpc4v/), and all the Santa Monica offices are blocks from the beach. They have great benefits, including company equity, 100% paid family medical, dental, vision, and a healthy 401k. They also offer gym membership reimbursement ($50 a month), 12 holidays, career training, 3 weeks PTO and have a kitchen stocked with fruit, snacks and such. I've honestly never had a job this good.

If you're interested, send me your resume. My email is in my profile.

San Francisco, CA

SeatMe is hiring! We're a cozy 13 person startup in downtown San Francisco. We're revolutionizing the restaurant industry and we need your help! We're in search of:

  * Web developers (we're a Django/jQuery/Backbone shop)
How often do you get a chance to work at a tech startup where eating out can be written off as a tax-refundable business expense? Well not here, because our CEO would go to jail (and he's never going back to the big house), but we do work in an awesome intersection of technology and fine dining.

We offer a very competitive salary, benefits, moving costs and equity options for all full-time employees.

Apply online - http://www.seatme.com/jobs/
