Sentry Data Systems - Offices in Deerfield Beach, FL, Indianapolis, IN, or Austin, TX + REMOTE anywhere else in the US.

Overview: http://www.sentryds.com/company/employment/ - We process medical data for auditing and compliance. We're an essential part of making certain medicare programs work for underserved populations who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford the prescriptions they were given by doctors.

Right now, we're working on our next generation products. The current generation has been wildly successful, and we'll continue to improve them, but we're expanding our offerings and our teams.

We offer a modified version of 20% time for developers and other people in the Technology group to work together to incubate projects that are designed to solve pain points that we know of. Many of these projects, if successful, will become formal projects and some may even be released to open-source. For now, as a company, we hack on these things as a group every Friday.

Specific positions:

Frontend Web Engineer - Influence the visual design of our next-generation products. http://www.sentryds.com/wp-content/uploads/sds_frontend_webe...

QA - Quality Assurance is a huge part of our operations and you'll get to work with some very smart people. http://www.sentryds.com/wp-content/uploads/sds_qualityassura...

Project Management - We've got several new projects in the works, and we've recently added project management to help oversee them. http://www.sentryds.com/wp-content/uploads/sds_project_manag... (This position may not allow remote work.)

Programmer - Our developer focus right now is PHP, Ruby, Javascript, Oracle SQL, and other languages as needed. There's a bunch of different things scattered throughout the environment and a lot of opportunities to influence what directions we take in the future.

There are several other positions that are either administrative, business, or healthcare functions; please click through the overview link above to see them.

Blurb Inc - San Francisco, CA, various positions [H1B] [TN]

The following positions are open as of an email that HR sent out on 2013.08.30: (US) PR Manager (US) Senior Payroll Accountant (US) Senior Financial Analyst (US) Software Engineer: Creation Tools, Desktop Application Developer (US) Sr. Platform Services Engineer (US) Senior Software Engineer: Web Team (US) Operations Associate (US) Technical Support Representative

I can't really speak to all the other positions, but I've been on the Web team for 5 week now and I'm really happy here.

30 second intro: http://blurb.com is on-demand publishing of print media. Say you want a book. They have a variety of tools that you can use to lay out, print, and sell your book. They're a medium sized, stable company with a cool product that people like to use.

As for my experiences: I'm on the web team. We've developed a lot of the front end stuff that users use to interact with the various book layout tools. We're primarily a Ruby/Rail team, though we're taking on more Javascript frontend stuff (primarily backbone, though we're looking into using some ember.js)

Blurb is a nice, stable place to work where you can come in, have a good time working, and go home at a reasonable hour. They strongly value work/life balance, and they don't want to burn you out. I can't speak a ton for what it's like to work here; as I mentioned I only recently started. But they seem to be doing a lot right.

If you're looking for a solid place to work, and don't have the fortitude to handle the ups and downs of an early stage startup (eg. if you like getting paid on time and with money, not stock), drop me a line: therd at blurb dot com

ZipRecruiter (https://www.ziprecruiter.com/) - Santa Monica, CA

We're a bootstrapped startup (~40 full time employees) focused on improving how employers and job seekers find each other using the internet.

We're looking for software engineers (perl and/on python) and devops (linux/AWS/mysql/DynamoDB). We prefer candidates local to the Los Angeles area, but are open to remote work for great candidates, and have a handful of remote workers already (including myself).

We have the culture and perks you'd expect from a VC funded startup, without the burn rate. Our compensation is competitive with large tech companies. We're not big enough (yet) to have much of a bureaucracy, and we're focused on keeping that to a minimum.

If you're interested in learning more, you can contact me (I'm a cofounder - will@ziprecruiter.com) or apply here:

Google - Madison, WI. Sorry, no remote work, but Google does sponsor visas. All levels of experience welcome. We've recently hired an ACM fellow, as well as a new college grad. Of course Google is hiring. So, why I posting this? Every time I tell someone I'm working at Google in Madison, they're shocked that there's an office in Madison, and I often hear people complaining about the lack of interesting technical work…

Wisconsin is home to some other interesting tech companies too. If you're into HPC, Cray has a big presence there. I think that a lot of job hunters make a mistake by only considering the "startup" scene like Silicon Valley, Boston, etc. when they really are looking for interesting tech jobs not necessarily startup work.

UpOut - SoMA San Francisco. No Remote.

Merchant Relations 3 Month Internship

UpOut is a discriminating guide to the best weird parties, underground culture and unique happenings in your city. Our mission is to help make that epic night out, perfect first date or relaxing afternoon happen. We are a small passionate team started by two best friends in their dorm room. We've been through Tandem's incubator and are backed by some of Silicon Valley's best investors.

What You'll Do Since the early days of UpOut, we've worked to help the culture maestros of San Francisco, the event organizers. These awesome people put together the events and activities that define the culture of our beautiful city. As part of the Merchant Relations Team, you'll focus on building strong lasting relationships with local merchants. You will work directly with merchants to help make their events amazing. Although your core competency will be in creating persuasive promotion campaigns, you'll also use our vast event expertise to advise them in their event making decisions. Your core responsibilities will be:

- Advise event organizers. You'll be working one on one with event organizers suggesting better event names, images and putting together promotion plans. - Learn and perform analysis. Use data to build better processes within the Merchant Relations team. You'll be able to affect the tools we build, the process and more. - Research the event business. Read, think and write about the event industry to get insider insights into the business. Of course, you'll also go to a ton of events.

You have great communication skills, attention to detail and boatloads of creativity. You're that friend who plans for everyone else. Previous sales experience is a huge plus. You're hungry to learn more and think that a small (but fast growing) team is the best place to do that.

This is a paid full time 3 month internship (2 weeks training + 10 weeks work). A full time position may be offered at the end of the internship based on performance.
