Javascript Developer | UtilityAPI.com | Oakland, CA | daniel@utilityapi.com | Solar job

==Description==

We are a white-label SaaS that is used by solar and energy efficiency companies to collect their customer's utility bill and usage data automatically. You will be in charge of writing tools, scripts, and libraries that collect utility data from utilities. Often these utility data formats are complex and unique to each utility (pdf bills, xml data, csv data, etc.), so you will need to be very clever in collecting and parsing a huge variety of formats. Also, these scripts can break unexpectedly when utilities change their interfaces, so being able to update them quickly is important. You will be working in our office at the SfunCube in downtown Oakland. Our current codebase is well organized, documented, and tested.

==Experience Required==

No years of experience, education, or certification requirements, but you do need to be able to convince me that you know and have experience with:

* Javascript (not JQuery, vanilla javascript)

* Regular Expressions (we use them heavily)

* Python (basic knowledge)

* PGP (basic usage)

* Other (side projects, hackathons, hobbies, stuff you do for fun)

==Compensation==

$100k-$120k depending on experience.

==How To Apply==

Email me a cover letter and a PGP-encrypted pdf resume. Please include links to your github, bitbucket, or personal side project website (for reference, mine is daylightpirates.org).

==For Solar Skeptics==

In the last few years, the solar industry reached "grid parity", which means that the unsubsidized installed cost is now cheaper than buying power from the grid. That's why this industry is the fastest growing industry in the country. This isn't some subsidy-dependent industry anymore. We work hard and we make real money (while conveniently also saving the planet).

HubSpot - Cambridge/Boston, MA

http://hubs.ly/y0zbwS0

HubSpot is a great place to work with a great culture of getting things done and delighting our customers. HubSpot loves investing in Engineering as a way to build a world-class product.

On the front-end, we use technologies like CoffeeScript and React to create a wonderful experience for our users interacting with the system.

On the back-end, we use technologies like HBase, Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, ZooKeeper, and Dropwizard. If you haven't looked at Dropwizard, it's actually a really nice way to develop web services in Java: you can annotate paths like you would do in Python and Flask and just return a Java object that will be serialised into JSON for you by Jackson.

Engineering is organised into small teams (usually around 3 people) where you can have a big impact on the product. We deploy hundreds of times per day and use GitHub Enterprise for SCM, Jenkins to build, and an internally developed open-source system built on top of Mesos called Singularity to deploy app instance containers. Your changes won't be languishing in git waiting for a major release. Because deploys are so painless, we're able to deploy small changes.

If Google's catch-phrase is "Don't be evil" ours is "use good judgement". Check out our Culture Code for more information: http://www.culturecode.com. Also take a look at our 2014 Year in Review if you're interested: http://hubs.ly/y0zbyd0.

Work schedules are flexible, though most engineers get in around 10am. You get to make a meaningful difference in a product with loads of paying customers and a ton of traffic. Best of all, you get to work with loads of smart and fun people. That's the best thing about HubSpot: the people are great people that you can rely on, learn from, and have a great time getting things done with.

Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies in Houston, TX is looking for Flight Controllers to support human spaceflight operations at NASA Johnson Space Center. See the official job posting here [1]. This posting is looking for people to support various International Space Station disciplines, however I personally am within the Extravehicular Activity group. I am not directly involved with hiring at all; I'm purely interested in getting more people with software development experience into my group.

About my job: I work at the NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL)[2] and Mission Control Center (MCC)[3]. People in our group are in charge of Extravehicular Activities (spacewalks)[4], such as the one going on right now[5]. This group plans on-orbit activities, trains astronauts to perform spacewalks (at the NBL and other facilities), and assists astronauts with execution of missions from MCC. This is one of the coolest jobs on the planet. In addition to working on projects that you get to see played out in space, you get to do things like SCUBA and work in the spacesuit in the NBL.

While not officially part of the job posting, having a background in software would be awesome; there are huge portions of our jobs begging to be automated. For example, I've long wanted to improve EVA procedure building [6].
