The Social Gaming Company / London / Full-time / Python / Team Leader

This is a great opportunity to work with a team that are using interesting technology to work on interesting problems. The main pre-requisite is a song grasp of Python. The more background you have in data mining the better. There's an expectation that you'll already have worked with a lot of different technologies just because it's the sort of thing that interests you. It's a great chance to put your stamp on a product and solve technical issues in the way that you think is best.

I've been working with them on a part time basis for a couple of years now. They're growing and unfortunately I'm unable to meet their needs (due to other obligations). They need someone to come in and take ownership of the product and help them build a development team around it.

They're great people to work with; passionate, reasonable and realistic. They understand the challenges of software and working with data - especially other people's.

More information about the role is provided on their site [0]. You could either contact them directly, or if you'd prefer to hear more details from me, you can contact me through the information in my profile.

Web Developer: http://www.nutonian.com/company/careers/web-dev/

Lets just get this straight, we are modern browser zealots. That's why we only support IE8+ (and yes, we actually mean that). No more clearfixes and negative margins here! Nutonian is looking for talented web developers help build our cutting edge application using modern iterations of front end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, without modernizr!). Our application is changing how people interact with and understand their data, and we need brilliant developers to help us realize this vision. We use the following technology stack: PureCSS, Snap.svg, backbone, handlebars, gruntjs, nodejs, casperjs and phantom.

Front End Developer: http://www.nutonian.com/company/careers/front-end-dev/

We are looking for engineers to architect and build the core application logic of our flagship application which allows our customers interact with their data in ways they can only dream of today. We strive daily to create beautiful code using modern software development methods, and you should too. We are a group of intelligent and motivated people at an early stage company pushing people's understanding of what an application delivered via a web browser can be. Our current technology stack includes jquery, backbone, underscore, handlebars, nodejs, gruntjs, casper, phantomjs, C/C++, and a smattering of QT.

Feel free to send along resume's and questions to nick@nutonian.com

FULLTIME - Software Engineers in San Francisco, CA Rentlytics, Inc - http://rentlytics.com

Apartment Investors are overwhelmed by their data, and the giants are focused on big-data solutions, but reality says otherwise. Most investment funds have a small data problem, they cannot make sense of 100's of megabytes of data. That is why off-the-shelf business intelligence solutions misses the problem completely. We're developing the solution our customers have been clamoring for.

Join our team of 5 people, and come make a big difference in an industry of dinosaurs. Our existing customers are all very happy, and we have a ton more waiting for their rollout of the software. We use Python/Django/Postgres on the backend and CoffeeScript with Backbone.Marionette on the frontend. Our team is based in SF, but we're happy to relocate you.

Get in touch: phil@rentlytics.com

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were recently named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience .

If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

You can email me personally at jake@factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:

Auto123 - Montreal, Canada - 2 Backend and 1 Frontend Developers

== Who we are ==

We're a team of 10 highly-trained but still fun developers building a new car dealership web platform that's going to power the web sites of our hundreds of clients across Canada.

We're working closely with a product team (marketing, design) and a production team (HTML programmers).

== Why it's interesting? ==

- Build a high-performance responsive web framework that is heavily customizable

- Connect to 10 legacy DBs and render a page under 50 ms

- Build a platform, work on API usability and interact with users to improve it

- Work on the automated deployment and monitoring of hundreds of web sites and web applications each week

If your pupils dilated at least once while reading, it would be interesting for both of us to work together :-)

== How we do it ==

- The infra team uses puppet, Fabric, nginx, and uWSGI.

- The backend team uses Django, celery, PostgreSQL, redis, memcached.

- The frontend team uses SASS, Compass, Backbone.js, and a heavily modified version of Twitter Bootstrap.

We love code reviews, daily standup meetings, campfire, contributing to open source, and paying for education (code school anyone?).

We hate long meetings, code without test, vendors selling things we did not build yet.

== Perks ==

- A ping pong table and some nerf guns (if that's your thing).

- Research and Development (we have a research grant with McGill University)

- A big office with wooden floors, brick and stone walls, located in the Old Montreal.

- Boring but important stuff like health insurance!

If you are interested, contact me at bdagenais@auto123.com with your resume and optionally, your github profile. Bonus points for bribes like github stars on my personal (https://github.com/bartdag/) or industrial repositories (https://github.com/auto123/).
