San Francisco: product designers and mobile engineers. [So far, every member of our team (who we didn't already know) joined us via Hacker News] Subscription based social hyperlocal mobile gamified dating discovery engine with loyalty coupons. For the enterprise. Just kidding. We're a stealthy team of product generalists, ML engineers, and even a neuroscientist filling a hole in the universe by building software that…

Just a bit of feedback: the part where you get somewhere close to describing what your company actually does[1] is very well buried. And the rest is incredibly vague and sounds very much like the stereotypical startup pitch you parody in your opening sentence. Your pitch has all the points of a stereotypical SF startup: vague platitudes about the future, a list of “top investors,” “building something that matters”, stealth mode, claiming you're not like all the other startups. Frankly, your whole comment is one of the best pieces of satire I've seen on this board.

Not only that, but a service that archives my life sounds like… Facebook timeline.

I realize you guys are stealth, but if you want to attract people by claiming that you're building something that matters, you might want to actually tell us what you're building.

Emergent One - Remote (US) - Full Time

Emergent One automatically generates REST APIs for existing applications and databases. We're a new startup devoted to making APIs better and more prevalent. Although we're a small team, we are growing fast and moving even faster.

We are looking for a Software Engineer that is passionate about developer communities, REST, and of course, building and consuming APIs. The role will be a combination of development on our developer portal solution and our core tech behind generating APIs. You’ll be helping build the API that generates APIs. In fact, that API generated our own private API (so meta!). You'll have a huge impact on the company and customers as a very early member of the organization, and be introduced to a large range of cutting edge API providers.

http://www.emergentone.com/jobs/

===Responsibilities

* Lead development on a robust developer portal solution for APIs we provide

* Contribute to the core solution that generates APIs

* Gain a deep understanding of the Emergent One platform

* Help troubleshoot problems in our customer's API design

* Work closely with customers to design solid RESTful APIs

* Build up a resistance to mildly brain melting meta-ness

===Qualifications

* 3+ years experience as a Software Engineer / Developer

* Experience developing applications built on APIs

* Deep awareness of RESTful API design and HTTP standards

* Strong knowledge of object-oriented design and design patterns

* Experience on a remote team a plus

===About Emergent One

* Ruby on Rack core, js / backbone frontend

* Funded Seed Round, TechStars Cloud Alumni

* Remote organization - work wherever you want!

* Choose your own hours - we're results driven first!

* Regular (friendly) debates and gaming sessions

* Founded by 2 ex-Rackspace developers

Rackspace is hiring. I've been here a year in the Austin office working on new cloud products and I have to say it's the best place I've ever worked. The Rack is very family friendly with great benefits and lots of cool folks.

In my team we're looking for a Java dev or two for the Cloud DNS product, but we have openings for all kinds of stuff building on OpenStack.

Transcriptic: Core Developer

Menlo Park, CA

Transcriptic is the "Amazon Web Services" for life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're looking for highly talented full-stack web developers as well as combined background EE/CS engineers for automation integration and development. Experience reverse engineering USB based protocols is a plus.

We're a very small startup (you'd be #5), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people. The codebase is mostly Ruby and Scala, with some Python.

Chicago IL / Nashville TN | edo Interactive | http://edo.theresumator.com/

  * Software and QA engineers
  * Data warehouse engineers and DBAs
  * Data analysts and data scientists

We're a 75-person funded startup providing an easy way to personalize offers and make them automatically available through credit or debit cards and mobile devices. We work with major national advertisers, and with 140 banks and three of the top six card issuers. TechCrunch called us the anti-Groupon - we take the hassle out of deals. See how it works at http://www.edointeractive.com/video .

From an engineering perspective, we value well-designed, test-driven, service-oriented code. We're looking for people who can act decisively on the challenges they're tackling. Our process is small-a agile; we value both usability and technical design, and technical itches do get scratched here. If you have problem solving skills and an interest in working with rich data, we'd love to hear from you.

We use Java, Grails, and JavaScript; Postgres and Hadoop; DevOps and automated testing.
