Leadify - Jackson, MS (FT, LOCAL ONLY) - http://leadify.net/careers.php

We’re off to a great start, growing profitably at 15% per month with closed deals from HomeAway, Match.com and other large brands. And we recently closed a SEED round so we can beef up our engineering team and grow even faster. As one of our first engineering hires, you’ll build our company and products from the ground up.

Our front-end runs on PHP and JavaScript (heavy jQuery). We’re transitioning our backend from PHP to Ruby. Our knowledge graph runs on Neo4J. Our analytics are stored in MySQL and we use d3.js and HighCharts for reporting. And we have a tendency to code the hard stuff (web scraper and natural language parser) in Perl.

Positions:

We're looking to hire 4+ junior and mid-level software engineers. We prefer generalists who can focus on one of our technologies:

1) Social Messaging * Allow our staff to deploy messages on major social channels * Learn from the results of our messaging using powerful analytics

2) Knowledge Graph * Populate the graph using web scraping and natural language processing * Give users great tools for curating the graph

3) Social Intelligence * Listen to social networks, analyze the data and visualize keywords, trends and leads

Interested? Want to build top shelf tech in the deep south!!? Contact me at harper@leadify.net

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be able and willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for Full-stack, Front-end and DevOps engineers: http://jobs.silkapp.com/ (the profile for the full-stack role will go live a bit later this week.)

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.

IFTTT - http://ifttt.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA

IFTTT is looking for experienced engineers to help build the next generation of its platform. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the core architecture of one of the web’s most innovative and exciting services. You’ll get to work on challenging technical problems alongside a small but driven group of developers, and play a key role in shaping both the product and team culture.

IFTTT’s mission is to help people to create connections between the services and devices they use every day. We’ve built a system that enables users to set up simple “if this, then that”-style recipes, which allow activity from one web service to trigger activity in another. The current system supports over 60 unique services and runs nearly a hundred million recipe-handling tasks per day, and we plan to dramatically expand on our flexibility and scalability. Under the hood, this translates to building a platform that can talk to and move data between virtually any API you can think of, all in realtime and at massive scale.

We’re hoping to find candidates who speak fluently about distributed architectures, databases, and ops, who enjoy rolling up their sleeves and writing code at all levels of the stack, and who have the confidence and depth of knowledge to take ownership of long-term projects. IFTTT currently runs on a polyglot mix of technologies, including EC2, Rails, Node.js, MySQL, Redis, Memcached, and Chef. Experience with these is a big plus, but we’re constantly evolving, and we value creative problem-solving and desire to learn over domain knowledge.

We recently secured a new round of funding, and we work hard to do right by our employees. New hires at IFTTT enjoy competitive salary and equity, full benefits, sane work schedules, and a flexible vacation policy. Much more than that, we offer interesting, deep projects and an amazing team experience. We operate on the philosophy that the best job perk is fantastic teammates, and to this end we’ve assembled a staff of intensely curious, well-rounded, talented people who happen to be great engineers. We’re hoping you can be the next one.
