New York, NY or remote. Intern developer or Junior developer.

Beagle is like Craigslist, but just for college students. We are creating a simple, secure network for students to post and run tasks and errands in their community. getbeagle.com

This is a chance to work on something that will be used by thousands of students, and to be one of the first ten team members.

All software engineers will be working on one or two of our main projects:

#API: Our API is the core that powers everything else. It’s written in Clojure. You’ll be the one actually implementing all the features and exposing them in a developer-friendly way. This is a fun challenge for anyone interested in software design and architecture. We use MongoDB on the backend so it’s best if you are at least somewhat familiar with it.

#iOS app: We have a hybrid iOS app, which lets us have a native experience while staying agile, with quick iterations and frictionless deployment. You’ll mostly be working with the Python web app, but will also have to work with the native iOS shell occasionally, too. You’ll have to work closely with the API, as all new features are be added there first.

#Website: Our public-facing website is a simple Node.js app. You’ll be working closely with the API to mirror certain features from the iOS app to the website. Familiarity with MongoDB is preferable.

Additionally we have some other projects planned like a new administrative interface to the API, and a dashboard that reports key stats we can track.

Mountain View (we just moved onto the same street as YC)

BloomReach (http://www.bloomreach.com) is a small, fast-growing startup that is tackling one of the Internet’s most fundamental problems: helping leading online businesses get their highest quality, most relevant content found by their consumers, when and where they want it. We're delivering a 95% uplift in non-branded organic search traffic for brands like Neiman-Marcus, William Sonoma, Buy.com and others.

Here's a Quora post why one of our engineers chose to work at BloomReach: http://www.quora.com/Stormy-Shippy/Posts/There-is-this-littl...

Vienna, Virginia

Come work for WordReference.com, the top website for translation dictionaries. I have a position open that I think would be a great fit for a reader of Hacker News. It is for a coder with business sense who will be in charge of nearly all technical aspects of running one of the largest websites in the DC area.

This position would be great experience for a person interested in someday launching their own online business. You would work on nearly all technical aspects of running a large website, and work with me in launching new features. While we need to work closely together, you can work from home much of the time. (I highly prefer somebody who lives in the Washington, DC area.) We’ve been around 12 years so we aren't exactly a startup anymore. While there are no stock options, one advantage is that we have sane working hours.

Requirements: - Ability to code and an interest in creating and running excellent websites. - Not religiously opposed to working mostly with C#, JavaScript and MySQL. - An interest in or knowledge of foreign languages is a plus. - Serious web development experience is a plus.

If this sounds like something that you would be interested in, write me through jobs@[our domain name] and I (the founder) will be in touch.

Khan Academy - Mountain View - (full-time and intern, designers and devs) Our mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly. Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 600M total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework ( http://github.com/khan/khan-exercises ), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) ha…

Currently, I'm locked into a teaching contract for the next 2 college semesters. When my contract is up, I am definitely going to be checking out Khan for New Grad openings. Since I have ~9 months before I start sending out my resume, what types of things are you going to be looking for? I'd like to spend these 9 months preparing and hopefully surpassing your expectations.

Thanks.

Redwood City, CA - UI Engineer

Tidemark Systems (http://www.tidemark.net, note ".net") is hiring.

Like everybody else in the industry, we're finding hiring to be a difficult problem. For those of us on the UI team it's been an extra challenge -- there are lots of people out there who have experience with toolkits like jQuery, Ext, Sencha Touch, and a whole bunch of other ones, some of which we've never heard of. But we're not simply using frameworks, we're pushing them well beyond what they were intended to do. So if you've got relevant framework experience, that's great. But we really need engineers that are good at the basics: JavaScript, DOM, HTML, and CSS. You'll also need to be decent at UI design and user experience. If you're not just good but great at either of these things (or both!), that's awesome, but we also need you to be able to write code. This isn't just a run of the mill web dev job. This is actual, hard core software engineering, it just happens that the stuff we're (the UI team) doing is all running in the browser.

Tidemark is building a hosted business analytics system, which is way more interesting than it might sound. The company is well-funded and we have people with decades of experience in the field.

We've got a bunch of other openings as well (see http://tidemark.net/company/careers)

    * Technical Support Engineer
    * Director of People Operations
    * Operations Engineer
    * Graphic Designer - Web Developer Emphasis
    * Sr. Technical Writer
    * Enterprise Account Executive
    * Application Tier Developer
    * Computation Engine Developer
If any of these positions sound interesting, my email is on my profile page.

NYC - Novus Partners: backend and frontend engineers

We work in Scala on the back end but don't mind training people up if they lack Scala experience. Our interviews are tough but the people we work with are just incredible. You don't have to be the next gift to mankind, just be comfortable in what you know and what you don't. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't hack on the side here.

Front end is written in jQuery and D3 with the signature open source project of nvd3 (novus.github.com/nvd3/) Take a look. Also, we don't support IE. Image that? Life is good.

(Edit) Oh yeah, great health care and no co-pays.

Notting Hill, London, England.

Our web application is at the heart of our busy e-commerce business; every day it serves millions of product images and handles thousands of purchases - but we can and do update the live site with new code anytime we want without missing a beat. Our systems are written on the LAMP stack and we are migrating to Symfony 2 as our MVC framework. Developers choose the tools that work best for them - for instance, we have a mix of Linux, Windows, and Mac workstations in the team. We are adopting and adapting agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not. We expect developers to be generalising specialists, ready at the drop of a hat to refine an algorithm, write a tricky integration test, tune a SQL query, or discuss feature nuances with a product manager. Our team is growing fast and we'd like to hear (at careers@secretsales.com) from any of you who'd like to join us; we're hiring for all technical roles including front- and back-end devs, sysadmin, and IT admin.

Established in London in July 2007, Secretsales.com is one of the UK's leading private shopping clubs, offering limited-time online sales with current name-brand goods at deep discounts. Brands include fashion, beauty, homewares and lifestyle categories, many familiar from the high street. The company has about 65 employees and a substantial annual turnover. The firm is growing quickly after a recent investment round.
