Hi! We’re Red Hot Labs from San Francisco and we're looking for a FULL-TIME DEV and a FULL-TIME ADMIN/GENERALIST.

We're on a mission to revolutionize how mobile developers harness their data. Our product, still in beta, functions as the central hub for all the services mobile developers already use. By weaving together the data from these disparate services, we gain a comprehensive view of the app and are uniquely positioned to deliver insights and value back to the developer.

This isn't our first trip around the block. Our previous startup was acquired by Zynga and our core technology turned into FarmVille and the rest of Zynga’s most successful games. It was a wild ride and now we’re full steam ahead on a new adventure. We're well backed by folks such as A16Z, Greylock, SVAngel, DCVC, and more.

We're looking for passionate, energetic, highly talented engineers to join our team. By becoming a foundational member of our team you will help shape the direction of our product, company and culture. We’re believe in constantly challenging ourselves to learn new things and would love to teach you what we know and learn from you as well.

We want all engineering members of the team to be full-stack engineers and well-rounded individuals. But, we're especially excited about the following engineering profiles:

==================================

  - Senior Product Engineer: You've built products from  concept all the way to 
  maturity.  You're as opinionated and influential about product as you are about coding.  
  You're a master at JS/CSS/HTML and customer facing technologies. 
  Bonus points if you’re on-top of your front-end frameworks like Angular 
  (which we use!), Ember, or Meteor.

  - Senior Systems Engineer: You've architected and scaled backend systems to 
  millions of users.  You've put out every kind of fire and learned a lot in the 
  process. You understand the tradeoffs of different data stores, server 
  architectures, and low-level services. 

  - Senior Data Engineer: You've built models which extract insights or 
  predictions from large, living datasets.  You can engage with a dataset in an 
  unfamiliar domain, grasp the dynamics of the system and impress subject area 
  experts with your result.  

  - Stupendous Junior Engineer: You don't have years of working experience, but 
  you have handful of mind-blowing personal or school projects.  You were among 
  the best students at a top tier engineering university. Your TA's and 
  classmates gush about your code.

OUR STACK:

  - Redis, MySQL, Rails for our backend API.
  - Mostly AWS with a little bit of Heroku for our hosting.
  - AngularJS, jQuery, Underscore, Node.JS with D3 for our dashboard and web apps.
  - 3rd party services: Facebook, Mixpanel, Stripe, Mailgun
==================================

In addition, we're hiring for an admin/generalist position. We're looking for someone that doesn't necessarily know how to code (if you're interested in learning we can definitely help you there!), but is passionate about startups and is competent and considerate in any task thrown their way. This role would be to support the rest of the team to help with marketing, sales, general office admin stuff, scheduling interviews, QA, and so on. Basically, all of the "other stuff" in a startup.

Do any of the above profiles sound like you? Send us an email at: jobs@redhotlabs.com

Auto123 - Montreal, Canada - 3 full time backend developers

== Who we are ==

We're a team of 10 professional but still fun developers building a new car dealership web platform that's going to power the web sites of our hundreds of clients across Canada.

We're working closely with a product team (marketing, design) and a production team (HTML programmers).

== Why it's interesting? ==

- Build a high-performance responsive web framework that is heavily customizable;

- Connect to 10 legacy DBs and render a page under 50 ms;

- Build a platform, work on API usability and interact with users to improve it;

- Work on the automated deployment and monitoring of hundreds of web sites and web applications each week;

- Improve products based on real UX studies.

If your pupils dilated at least once while reading, it would be interesting for both of us to work together :-)

== How we do it ==

- The devop team uses puppet, Fabric, nginx, and uWSGI.

- The backend team uses Django, celery, PostgreSQL, redis, memcached.

- The frontend team uses SASS, Compass, Backbone.js, and a heavily modified version of Twitter Bootstrap.

We love code reviews, daily standup meetings, campfire, contributing to open source, and paying for education (code school anyone?).

We hate long meetings, code without test, and incurring technical debt.

== Perks ==

- A table tennis table and some nerf guns (if that's your thing).

- Research and Development (we have a research grant with McGill University)

- A big office with wooden floors, brick and stone walls, located in the Old Montreal.

- Boring but important stuff like health insurance!

If you are interested, contact me at bdagenais@auto123.com with your resume and optionally, your github profile. Bonus points for bribes like github stars on our industrial repositories (https://github.com/auto123/).

Regalii - New York - YC Summer 2013 - http://www.regalii.com

We're searching for a full stack ROR developer to join our small team backed by top investors. We're looking to pay market rates and share equity for the right person.

We're particularly looking for somebody who would get enthused by challenge of brining remittances into the 21st century. These days, 90% of international money transfers still involve somebody walking to a western union like institution and sending cash. We think this process can be way easier for both the sender and the receiver.

If this sounds intriguing, please watch our techcrunch disrupt video (http://techcrunch.com/video/startup-battlefield-sf-2013-fina...) and drop me a line to say hello (naysawn) - naysawn@regalii.com

Xamarin (http://xamarin.com/) - San Francisco, full time, relocation available

At Xamarin, we believe that great, native mobile user experiences have the power to transform customer relationships and employee productivity. Unlike other cross-platform mobile frameworks that deliver lowest common denominator experiences through UI abstraction libraries, we make 100% of the iOS and Android APIs available through our native bindings. Xamarin developers deliver high performance, fully native experiences and also share on average 75% of their source code across platforms.

Xamarin is the only platform with complete API coverage and deep code-sharing capabilities across iOS, Android and Windows apps, for a total of 2.6 billion devices you can reach in C#.

We have a number of positions available (http://xamarin.com/jobs), but I'm looking for Customer Success Engineers (http://xamarin.com/jobs/oHTMXfw3) to join our team.

Basically, you will become our customers' trusted advisor – providing technical expertise, on-boarding project guidance, and implementation assistance.

It's a great opportunity if you already have the technical chops, but want to explore a different aspect of the business.

Shoot me an email at valentin@xamarin.com if you have questions or would like to apply.

Qubit - London (+ New York web devs)

Qubit has just had our 4th birthday, and we're looking to really grow our engineering team (somewhat) internationally, as we expand out into new markers!

There's a bunch of jobs listed here: http://www.qubitproducts.com/jobs, but to summarise, we are hiring on the front-end from UX architects to both new and experienced full-stacky-JS engineers and in our infrastructure teams for DevOps folk.

It's a really fun environment - not just because of the perks of working in the middle of Soho with our own newly remodelled (and fully stocked) kitchen - but we've put together an inspirational team across the board that is building building a personalisation platform which is really resonating with some of the biggest brands in the world and we have huge plans about where we are going to take it!

It's a really exciting time, and I hope some of you will join us! There's tonnes of big technical and "soft" problems that we're tackling, so drop us a line at careers+hackernews@qubitproducts.com, tell us a bit about yourself and we'd love to have a chat about how you can help us solve them.
