Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research.

It's widely held that science is too closed, and too slow. We are trying to change that. We believe that faster sharing of research will lead to an acceleration in research innovation: faster innovation in medicine, biology, engineering, economics, and other fields. Faster sharing in biology and medicine, for example, could lead to cancer being solved 12 months before it otherwise would have been, which would lead to millions of lives being saved.

Academia.edu has over 1.3 million registered users, and over 3.7 million monthly unique visitors. Both of these metrics tripled in 2011. Over 4,500 papers are added to the platform each day, and over 3,000 academics join each day.

We need talented engineers to come and help us accelerate the world's research. We believe that there is a chance to make a big impact.

We just raised $4.5 million from Spark Capital and True Ventures http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3297812. Some of our angel investors include Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu) and Rupert Pennant-Rea (Chairman of The Economist).

We have a strong engineering culture. We're a 10 person team based in downtown San Francisco. The site is Rails, and other technologies we use include PostgreSQL, Redis, Varnish, Solr, Memcached, Mongodb, Beanstalkd.

Familiarity with our technologies is a plus, but it's not essential. It's far more important that you are a quick learner who can pick up new technologies quickly. There is more information about the company on our hiring page, at http://academia.edu/hiring.

The kinds of things you would be working on include:

★ building new features (a conference feature, a discussion feature for papers)

★ enhancing existing features (News Feed, Profile page, paper upload tools)

★ building back-end infrastructure to scale the site

What we're looking for are:

☀ 2+ years of web development experience

☀ Experience with the full engineering stack

☀ Passion for engineering

All the strategic decisions in the startup are made collaboratively, whether they are about hiring, new feature development, user growth, user retention, funding, or revenue. You can participate in those general startup decisions as much or as little as you want. We have found that our decisions are much better as a result of everyone contributing to them. If you like having an impact, you will enjoy the Academia.edu culture. There is more information here http://academia.edu/hiring.

H1B candidates are very welcome. We will take care of the visa process.

Frontend, Backend, iOS and Android. Mobile apps crash over 1 billion times a day - let's do something about it!

Crashlytics is mobile crash reporting and analysis as a service. If you're interested in the intersection of great UX, scalable systems, the mobile internet, and big data analytics we want to talk to you!

We're an early stage startup looking for truly talented engineers with a passion for clean code and great products. Our team is fast, smart and independent -- with previous startup success.

We're small and growing rapidly, so it's important to us to have a great company culture to support that growth. We offer all of the usual startup perks: snacks in the kitchen, flexible work schedule, top-of-the-line gear (Macbook Air, Thunderbolt display, iPad/Android Tablet), etc. Additionally, we feel strongly that it's the culture created by shared values that really makes Crashlytics a great place to work.

Here's a brief look at a few of the things we value:

We focus on the modern web - We don't support IE6, so you'll never have to worry about it! We love feedback - you’ll be able to connect directly with customers who are using what you’re building and use their input to make the product better. We’re self-directed - We trust you to manage your own schedule, vacation, etc. without complex policies or forms to fill out. We ship - we're huge fans of TDD, build/measure/learn, and are moving towards continuous deployment. We give back - We encourage open source contributions and community participation. We’re hyper technical - Deep understanding and optimization are in our soul - what can your code accomplish in 18ms?

Our recent (tongue-in-cheek) recruitment video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyRxOTJXBII

• This is a company you can be proud to be a part of.

• You’ll be working alongside a small but highly talented multi-disciplinary team.

• Our gorgeous riverside offices in Richmond provide a change from the urban jungle whilst being just 10mins from the tube.

The Role:

Our stack is Linux/Postgres/Python/Django. One day you might be translating visual designs into HTML, the next day you might be working our search and patient matching algorithms. The one certainty we can offer you is that you’ll never be bored.

Ideally we're looking for people to work on our whole stack, but we're also happy to talk to front-end (HTML/CSS/JS) specialists.

If you don't have experience with Python but have worked on something similar (Ruby, PHP etc) then that's fine too!

Where do I apply?

We're happy to consider full or part-time applicants as wells as students looking for internships. You must have the right to work in the UK.

We're starting interviewing candidates from next week, so if you're interested, please get in touch - zeshan at trialreach.com
