Braintree -- Chicago, San Francisco. We'll pay for relocation.

We're hiring software and production engineers of all skill levels.

Braintree makes awesome payments APIs for developers. You've almost certainly used our product; we power payments for companies like GitHub, Uber, Dropbox, Heroku and CloudFlare.

We're not an early-stage startup anymore -- we were acquired by PayPal for $800 million in December 2013. Partnering with PayPal gives us the resources to grow faster than ever, both in the US and internationally. I joined the company about 22 months ago, and we've more than quadrupled our size since then. This place is a rocketship.

Typical projects you might work on:

* Decomposing and scaling a payment gateway that handles $15 billion per year of transactions. Have you ever been on call for an application that makes $29,000 a minute?

* Building SDKs that make payments on mobile devices easy and frictionless, both for developers and consumers.

* Build abstractions that make accepting payments, in all their crazy varieties, easy all over the world -- not just in the US.

You can read more at https://braintreepayments.com/careers or email me at lionel.barrow@getbraintree.com.

Cogo Labs - Cambridge, MA (Kendall Square)

Cogo Labs is an incubator/accelerator behind fast-growing analytics-driven startups. We're growing fast ourselves and hiring for many positions: http://cogolabs.com/careers

Engineering summary:

Databases: Postgres, Impala/Presto, Redshift, MySQL

Languages: Python, Ruby, Go, Lua, Javascript/HTML/CSS

Data science: Python, SQL, R, Hadoop/Mahout

Other: Hadoop, Amazon Web Services, Flask/Django/Sinatra/Rails, Redis, RabbitMQ, Git/Github

We're flexible, so if you're very good at some combination of the above then let's talk.

As an engineer at Cogo, the role I can speak most about, you'll work closely with a team of highly technical analysts who are proficient in both analysis and also prototyping/v1.0 development. You'll spend your time engineering scalable applications and services rather than packaging up reports and delivering status updates to project managers. We don't have the latter. We do have great engineers who succeed with a lot of freedom and independence.

At Cogo Labs you'll get to work with different businesses starting from their inception without the career/financial/personal sanity risks that can come with such ventures. It's a fun place with interesting stuff to work on and minimal barriers/overhead to getting it done.

Feel free to contact me at tfederman@cogolabs.com with any questions or interest.

MindTribe - San Francisco, CA

We make hardware. We’re looking for senior firmware engineers to join the team!

The hard requirements are brief: 5+ years of writing code for embedded systems with experience leading projects. At Mindtribe we code most often in C. In addition to technical work, our senior engineers plan projects, lead teams of engineers, and mentor junior members.

At this point, you can tackle most technical challenges that come your way. The rest you could figure out given enough time. You’re starting to grow into someone who can elevate an entire team – not just by adding engineering horsepower, but by multiplying the abilities of those around you. You could probably get a job anywhere you want. Why Mindtribe?

As a product development consultancy, we get to peek inside a lot of exciting companies. That’s how we know there’s nowhere else we’d rather be.

Nobody sees the kind of variety that we do. Working at Mindtribe is being immersed in a constant stream of projects across different industries using different technologies. You will learn. A lot. About everything. Mindtribers are not just versatile within their own fields – “firmware” engineers work with everything from 8-bit micros to embedded Linux to smartphones – we also have EE’s driving SolidWorks, ME’s developing iOS apps, and FW engineers laying out PCB’s. You’ll iterate through many careers-worth of projects and solutions faster than you thought possible. And you’ll get better at it each time.

Everyone here loves hardware, so much that we’ve been known to spend leisure time on projects that aren’t so different from what we do at work. Or perhaps it’s the other way around. We may code in bits and bytes, but we work in the real world. Our desks are cluttered with dev boards and prototypes. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with teammates, discuss our work throughout each day, and build amazing things together. We’re constantly in front of clients to extract feedback, plot course corrections, and lead the way.

Mindtribe succeeds by putting forward strong teams with sound methods. While we consider ourselves talented engineers, relying on heroic individual efforts to meet impossible deadlines is a painful way to squeak by. Instead, our edge comes from constant introspection about how we do engineering, and we are always looking for ways to improve. Things that are broken here don’t stay that way for long.

We’re a small company. As a result, your contributions will have immediate, visible impacts not just on projects, but also on the success of the entire organization. Although we all swab the decks, everyone also gets to help steer.

Mindtribe is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, convenient to public transit and at the epicenter of a flourishing technology industry. We enjoy working together and place great value in maintaining an awesome company environment. ‘Tribers regularly spend time together outside the office, whether that’s doing happy hour at a local watering hole or enjoying the rocking chairs at the new Exploratorium.

For more information about us, check out our team (http://www.mindtribe.com/team), our portfolio (http://www.mindtribe.com/portfolio), and our method (http://www.mindtribe.com/method).

If this is resonating, we’d love to get to know you! Please drop us a line at nopnjmp@mindtribe.com to tell us how you’ve demonstrated leadership in your career and why you’d be excited to do what we do.

Westlake Robotics - Seattle, WA. - Software Developers

What are we about?

We're a new team trying to use the best tools and techniques to move forward the state of the art in software development while making innovative software services to improve patient health and reduce healthcare costs. We respect each other. We work in small batches. We max out the RAM in our laptops. We drink coffee on Monday mornings and classic cocktails on Friday afternoons. We try to be cutting edge without getting caught up in meaningless buzzwords and flaky vaporware. We use effective methodologies without being dogmatic or cargo-culty.

What are we looking for?

That depends. What do you have to bring? We're staffing up an entirely new team with a flexible and changing set of technologies, so we're not rigid in specific job requirements. We just want talented people who care about making great software in an enjoyable and sustainable way. If that's you, please email westlake.robots@gmail.com or contact me directly. Contact info is in my profile.

Where are we?

Our office is in Seattle. As the team is still forming, we're hesitant to add the extra complexity of working with non-local talent at this time. My hope is that we'll eventually become a geographically dispersed team, but we're limiting our search to local talent right now. I have no idea if we can provide relocation assistance, but if you're thinking of moving out here, let me know.
