Planet Labs -- http://planet.com/ -- San Francisco, CA

(Remote work depends on the role -- some are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.)

Planet Labs has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".

I've personally been with the company for over a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).

Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

Boomkat.com | Senior Ruby on Rails Contractor | Manchester, UK | REMOTE and ONSITE | 2 - 6 months

We're an online music retailer selling vinyl, tapes, CDs, downloads and merchandise. We're currently rebuilding our site to use Spree (so Spree experience preferred although not required) and we need an extra developer as soon as possible. You will need to be experienced building systems with complex business logic (there's a surprising amount) and working with integrating third party protocols, APIs and file formats[1].

We test heavily using Rspec and Cucumber. We're using the AWS stack (EB, S3, etc) and whilst knowledge of these would be beneficial it's by no means a requirement. Postgres and CoffeeScript experience would be nice too. Lots of Rails experience is the main thing.

If you're interested, please email bang@boomkat.com for more information or to apply. If applying, please include your CV / Github / links to any projects you're proud of / etc, as well as your availability and your day rate.

Are You a Human | http://areyouahuman.com | REMOTE maybe | Detroit, MI USA

Looking for Data Scientists, Front-End and Back-End Engineers

We’re dedicated to making the digital world better for real humans. Automated programs, called bots, account for 61% of overall internet traffic today — and as the world becomes more digital, this will only increase. Ultimately, bots make it more difficult for real humans to get what they need from the Internet, and more difficult for companies who serve humans to provide high quality content and services cost-effectively. We find and verify humans by analyzing natural user behavior across millions of websites.

All humans interested in joining the team, please visit http://areyouahuman.com/careers to apply.

--------------------------------

I work here as a data scientist, and the central task of verifying humans opens up a fun bag of machine learning and engineering challenges. It's also an amicable, smart group of humans to work with.

Elevate | iOS Engineer | REMOTE or Bay Area, part time (or full time) contractor

Apple's App of the Year in 2014. http://elevateapp.com

I work full-time on Elevate's iOS app. We make brain training games, so most of the company works on cross-platform games. I'm the one responsible for everything on iOS that isn't a game.

We ship improvements to the app and a new game every month. You would take your own tasks and help with code review for each release.

Objective C and some C++ experience is necessary, we also use Swift in some isolated places, and would like to use Swift wherever feasible.

The app is very animation heavy. CoreAnimation experience is useful. Understanding what causes performance issues and how to use Xcode's profiling tools is useful too. We have really talented designers who cry when you build ugly things.

It's a pretty chill gig. We probably need at least half of your time around a deadline, but usually you can spend as much time as you want working on stuff. The well of tasks never runs dry. We have an office, but Slack+Trello means you can work from anywhere.

Send at least your Github username to me: david+hn@elevateapp.com

Links to anything you've done that is on the App Store is way more interesting to me than a resume.
