Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.)

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================
Real-time logistics optimization (EZPass for Ports).

On the left side of the problem, we track every ship on the water so that we can make predictions about the impact of a bunch of things on the rest of the supply chain (this mostly manifests itself in us being able to help companies save a bunch of money on demurrage. One company we're working with, alone, spends 6.5 mil every month on this). On the right side of the problem, we let truckers know when they need to arrive at a port in order to wait in line the least amount of time (so that they spend more time making money and less time waiting). Right smack dab in the middle, we optimize port throughput by scheduling all the right people to do the right thing at the right time.

   ===========================
   ===== How we do it ========
   ===========================
Web/data stack -> Clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails (along with hadoop/EMR)

Mobile -> Currently building iOS app, android in the near term

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

   ===========================
   ====== And the rest =======
   ===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z)!

Looking for help on mobile, frontend, and data science sides! Would be thrilled to find a CTO to grow the tech side of the company with me, but I'm also happy to find engineers who know their shit who just want to build great things.

If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!

Location: San Francisco or Palo Alto, full time

BrightRoll (http://www.brightroll.com) is looking for all kinds of engineers, especially server side hackers to work on composing internal services into public, REST APIs (we take the Fielding dissertation seriously). We value functional programming, distributed systems, fault tolerance and high availability, backed by all kinds of languages and persistence schemes. We are serious about scala, erlang/elixir, ruby, node, and store stuff in SQL, nosql, and sometimes in plain old files.

Our culture is one of uncompromising transparency and GSD (the good kind of GSD, where anything that blocks us from getting stuff done is prioritized). We value risk taking, learning from failure, provide superb compensation and benefits, as well as having a laid back office culture (I personally practice Hammock Driven Development fairly regularly). Feel free to apply via the web site, and let us know hacker news sent you, or contact me directly (phamilton at brightroll dot com). Thanks!

OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent)

At OpenSignal we are using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we are all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first[1] is for wireless signal where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal[2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper[3] showing the potential of this approach.

If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills.
