Twitter. San Francisco and a few other places.

According to many people I work with, Twitter is the best place they've ever worked. The perks are great, the challenges exceptional, and the culture inspiring.

A lot of people think Splunk must be a terrible place to work at because they think it is an "enterprise" company. But the truth is, we have great jobs for a lot of people. Want to work on awesome visualizations for gigabytes and terabytes of data daily? We got it. Want to work on building a development platform for an extremely powerful data analysis tool? We got it. Want to help make the core server that powers our extremely fast indexing and performance better? We got it.

Whether it's UI, core systems engineering, dev platform or anything in between, we likely have something for you. I personally work on the development platform in the Seattle office, but I'm happy to answer questions about anything. Feel free to shoot me an email (in my profile), or comment here.

Some specific areas where we're looking to hire: Frontend engineer - Splunk is doing some awesome frontend development, so if you're interested in the intersection of presenting big data in a human-usable manner, this is a great position. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=okO3VfwQ Sys Admin: we recently launched Storm, our Splunk in the Cloud offering. We're looking for a sysadmin to help us manage that undertaking. This is a product that just launched, so you could have a big impact here. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=ou6XVfwc Sr Developer for Hadoop: Splunk is doing more and more work with Hadoop, and it's a completely new offering for the company and product. We're looking to add more people to the team who are excited about the space and want to improve the Hadoop landscape. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=o792VfwX

Pinterest is hiring engineers and product designers in Palo Alto, CA. (http://pinterest.com/about/careers/)

We are a very small team with a lot of interesting and creative challenges ahead of us! Pinterest already does billions of pageviews, has terabytes of interesting data to analyze, and is growing at 50% each month.

There are fascinating problems ahead of us, including search and recommendation algorithms, a developer api, internationalization, and a monetization platform will make using Pinterest better, not worse.

We care about creating a great place for people to do their very best work. We look for folks who are creative, humble, talented, and hard-working.

Ashburn, VA/Heidelberg, Germany

Scientific Software Developer

http://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/Jobs/

Ilastik (http://ilastik.org) is a collaborative open-source project with the aim of providing a scalable image analysis platform for the neurosciences and beyond. Current ilastik development seeks to bring the power of interactive machine learning to very large data sets.

Janelia Farm (http://www.janelia.org), one of the premier centers for biomedical research worldwide, is funding a Scientific Software Developer (Janelia Farm Research Campus, Ashburn, VA with visits to Heidelberg University, Germany) to reach that goal quickly. Tasks include the refinement of the architecture, the integration with existing tools and the design of a graphical user interface for handling of very large microscopic data sets using image analysis and machine learning algorithms. The software developer will also support proof-of-principle studies on pioneering applications from the neurosciences, and liaise between experts at Janelia Farm and ilastik core developers at the University of Heidelberg.

The position requires a strong background in C++, experience in software engineering applied to large projects, and the skills to integrate existing algorithms and functionality into a unifying biomedical processing framework. Experience with python, Qt, numpy, scipy and scientific parallel programming is a plus. Good communication skills are essential to make for good cooperation both with local experts and with other programmers working remotely. Salary is commensurate with prior experience and will be highly competitive for extremely well-matched candidates.

The principal work place is on the beautiful campus of Janelia Farm, with regular visits to Heidelberg. The successful candidate will be in a position to help shape a project that is becoming an enabling technology in one of the most interesting fields conceivable: the deciphering of the inner workings of the brain.
