Our firm grew out of the knowledge and experience of its founders to become a globally-positioned financial technology firm that remains on the cutting edge of algorithmic trading. We are a privately funded company and do not rely on outside investors or private equity.

Our success is driven by three fundamental ideas:

* Act as a support contact for Jump's Quant users for issues related to the archive access APIs and archive data itself.
If you have any questions at all, please e-mail me! The job description really doesn't do a great job describing the awesome problems you'll be solving or the freedom you'll have to explore solutions.
Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for a DevOps engineer, and front-end and full-stack engineers.
We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.
We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end.
The team is still small (~11 people), so you'll be able to make a large impact. We are well-funded by top-tier VCs and located in the city center of Amsterdam. More on http://jobs.silkapp.com/
We represent baseball players and are widely regarded as the premier single-sport athlete representation firm in the world.
We're seeking an IT guru to manage the various information technology systems at our Newport Beach headquarters.
A love of sports, particularly baseball, is useful, but not strictly required. We take great pride in being the best in the world at what we do, and most of us have played sports at a high level. Regardless, from top to bottom, our personnel believe in doing whatever needs to be done for the team.

"our vacation policy is limitless" I think policies like this would cause more tension and worry than they relieve. Kind of like "pick your salary". Surely different people have different expectations? Do Europeans take 5 weeks a year and Americans take 2? I've never been employed under a policy like this and I'm genuinely curious as to how well you think it's helping morale.
"I'd like to take a week off."
"Well you only have 4 days left, and we need at least one person in the office the day before Christmas, so I could turn this down..."
"But I'm only short by one day!"
(I end up delaying my Christmas vacation by 3 days as a result, and I resent my boss for it)

This doesn't happen at Knewton. If I need time off, and my work is done, I take it.
Hurricane Sandy is actually a perfect example. I've had no power since Monday night in Soho, and today is my first full day online. An unlimited vacation policy means I don't have to take a shorter Christmas break because an act of God swept through and pwnd my neighborhood.
OptumSoft (http://www.optumsoft.com/jobs.html)
Our company is a startup focused on redefining the way distributed applications are developed. We believe existing mechanisms for programming distributed systems are difficult and error-prone. To solve this, we invented a development platform to construct high-performance large-scale applications, and we are building applications using this framework to validate our beliefs.
We already have customers using our software in production environments.
We're looking for engineers with C++ development experience that have an interest in distributed systems and/or compilers.

It stops you from worrying that you've eaten into your vacation time when you take a day here or there for appointments, long weekends, family events, child sickness, etc.
In fits with our general focus on productivity over seat time.

We’re Digital Surgeons, a digital-first creative agency working with well-known progressive brands pushing the bounds of digital marketing and brand experiences.
We have a great, fun, and hard-working culture; we hope you're someone who enjoys working with fun people and making new friends at work.
We have many varying client projects, from short-lived campaigns to long-lasting projects. We'd love to work with someone who wants to work with clients and brand names and push the bounds of consumer experiences.
Sharing over social media is driving an ever-increasing percentage of web traffic. But with mobile clients and HTTPS, traditional web analytics isn't working anymore. We know we can do better, so awe.sm is building full-featured social media conversion tracking and analytics. We tell our customers the value of their social traffic in a metric that's meaningful to them, whether it's page views, signups or dollars of sales. Our APIs allow app developers to integrate social data into their products, without building their own data collection and processing infrastructure.
We're an engineering-driven team building products primarily for other developers, so we're passionate about providing an amazing experience for developers. To help us get there, we're looking for a Developer Experience Lead. By that we mean somebody who will really own that experience: somebody who understands deeply how to get the most out of awe.sm, and has the communication skills to get that information to developers. That will mean representing awe.sm at hackathons and other developer events, and being the primary point of contact for developers building on our platform. We want you to find the pain points before our customers do, and feed that information back to the engineering team, so we can adapt our product to real-world needs. We also want you to do anything else you can think of that will help: building demos, writing client libraries, expanding our documentation, or working one-on-one with clients who have novel problems, to see how we can expand the platform to meet their needs.
We want you to eliminate friction from integrating awe.sm with our customers' systems. You need to be an engineer first, but also a puzzle-solver, a pattern-finder, and a great communicator. There's no role more critical to our growth right now. (We are also hiring back-end and full-stack engineers.)

We're 13 people right now. We have a cool new office with awesome views ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) in the heart of the Mission. We have catered lunches, and full health, vision and dental coverage. We use an IRC server for team communication and are agile in the sense that we move quickly and react fast, not in the sense of having attended an overpriced training course.
We at PopCap's San Francisco, CA office want your BRaiNS...

We are hiring one more full-stack (in-your-face game to behind-the-scenes backend) software engineer for our San Francisco office.
We have a fun, relaxed work environment and a team of incredibly great senior software engineer generalists -- you will learn to work with the full software stack for everything we make. We care a lot about building high quality games and some of the most innovative software in the world to support them.
If you don't yet live in San Francisco, visiting our office should convince you to make the leap. Then we can move you out here.
