Topsy Labs is hiring hackers in San Francisco.

We condense nuance from petabytes of fact. Often in milliseconds.

We hack in Python, Perl, C++, Hadoop.

We wrote a distributed RDF store that holds 100B triples, and a search engine from filesystem up that organizes indexes in real-time.

We run Topsy.com, Otter API (otter.topsy.com) and we are building some amazing new products in the intersection of social data and search.

If you do any two of (C++, Perl, Python, Hadoop) really well, write to me at vipul@topsy.com.

Vital stats: 32 people. $30M in funding. 1000+ machine cluster.

cheers, Vipul Ved Prakash Co-founder, CEO Topsy Labs

New York, NY & San Francisco, CA - Foursquare We're hiring Android and Blackberry developers, data analysts and data scientists, software engineers, and software engineer interns. We're changing the way people interact with the world around them, we have troves of data about where people go and what they do, and we build a mobile app that millions love. If you want to come help us build the future of location product…

What do your data analysts/scientists do on a normal basis? I just sent in my applications to both because it sounds like the technical experimenting I loved doing during my graduate school.

Verba, San Francisco, CA

We help college bookstores decide what to sell to students (print? rental? digital?), who to buy them from, and how much to sell their inventory for. Students get their books for less, local bookstores make more money and everyone's happy.

We're hiring a full-time engineer:

  * Most of our stuff is built on Ruby on Rails
  * We do a _lot_ of visualization work, so JS skills are a plus
  * Oodles and oodles of data flow through us, so couchdb/map-reduce/basic 
    statistical knowledge could be leveraged!

San Francisco, CA

Scribd (social publishing, top 100 website, YC '06) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies. We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript

* iOS

* Android

* Machine Learning / Data mining kinds of problems

* Technical recruiting (yes, we're hiring hackers to do this too!)

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you.

We're well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a zipline!). We've got flexible hours, a very flat organizational structure that gives a lot of product ownership to engineers, and a really terrific team.

Feel free to email me directly: jared@scribd.com

Los Angeles or Bay Area or Shanghai preferred, but remote work is a definite possibility. Full-time only. If you're interested in remote work, you must live in the U.S. (U.S. citizen living outside of the U.S. might be okay) Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. Our vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider for startups and developers, so that they can focus…

Do you do H1Bs?
