San Mateo (San Francisco Bay Area), California

Coupa Software - Procurement and Spend Management for business, in the cloud.

Looking for...

    - Ruby on Rails developers 
    - iOS developers
    - integrations engineer (connecting enterprise financial systems)
    - UX & visual designers
Our product is built on Rails, and helps businesses save money, and helps all of their people who do purchasing and expenses to have much more efficient and enjoyable jobs. Our customers love our product, because we work extremely hard on to improve and protect the user experience, design, and overall coherence of the product.

Current goals and challenges include building new features, improving our automated testing, and maintaining a solid foundation for the product. Your workload in a given month might include bugs, a feature or three to build by yourself or with a few others, improving our technology stack, or implementing your own ideas to improve the product. We like people who are full stack, and like learning about all areas of the product.

I am a full-stack dev, so I do everything from tuning database queries to Rails to JavaScript to visual design on my features, its pretty damn rewarding and interesting.

Working on the product development team is pretty great. I enjoy working and spending time with everyone on the team, and we have smart people from lots of different backgrounds and locations. We have a neat office space in downtown San Mateo that is open and perfect for a team of programmers (we keep the noise down when we're working). We are two blocks from the San Mateo CalTrain station, we have plenty of room for bikes, and free parking passes if you want to drive.

We have had remote developers for a long time, across the country and world. We also allow for working from home as needed for local people (or wherever else you are productive), and we strongly encourage people to go home and rest if they look tired or don't feel well.

We offer good pay, great health / dental / vision insurance, unlimited vacation, extremely flexible hours (pretty much be in by 11am if you are local). We have "field trip" lunches on Wednesdays to get the team together and relax, and other days we might walk to the park or somewhere downtown for lunch.

Please email a quick intro and your resume, website, or github to * brianfarr@gmail.com * if you are interested or have any questions.

If you seem like a good possibility, your resume will be seen by my manager and the team early this week. If not, I will try my best to point you to someplace you are a good fit, or connect you with recruiters I know. Also, if you are new or looking to move to the SF Bay Area and want to talk to someone who did it last year, from the midwest, send me an email too.

(P.S. - We have already hired one Rails engineer from an HN Who's Hiring post).

San Francisco, CA - Zenbox. Software Engineer. [LOCAL]

We're a YC company wrangling SaaS to work together (as they should), starting by bringing the biggest apps our customers use right into Gmail.

We work with dozens of API's to show our users profiles of their customers without having to jump out of the email flow - imagine having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzqRSlgqkw available when helping customers.

Thousands of people use it every day for hours on end, and are happy to pay for it to make sure they can continue using it. But there's still so much polish and improvement possible.

Looking for an engineer who loves the craft, who cares about building product, and is excited about helping customers.

We also explore some pretty awesome ways to escape from getting crushed under the heel of complexity, and we're all excited to start toying around with ideas like http://clojure.com/blog/2013/06/28/clojure-core-async-channe... for the frontend.

This is both UI and backend work.

Languages: Clojure, Clojurescript, Ruby, Javascript.

MediaMath -- Cambridge MA and NYC NY. Fulltime. H1B. We're looking for software engineers, especially with systems experience. We're also looking for a UI dev and a QA team lead. http://www.mediamath.com/careers/postings/ We're working on lots of big data challenges in the online advertising space. MediaMath bought out Akamai's ADS division a few months ago and most of the Cambridge office consists of those folks. I'…

Cool! I'm somewhat involved in some projects to make llvm backed DSL design in Haskell super easy, with my own use case being analytical computation. Would love to hear more about how you're using llvm.

We're working on a system called Trecul [1]. If you're coming from Haskell, I'm sorry to say I doubt it would be to your liking. Right now we're spending most of our time migrating off Akamai infrastructure but pretty soon that will be done and we can give Trecul some love.

The code is open source but we've got almost no docs. We'll have to fix that eventually.
