Quirky.com - Full Time - NYC

Quirky is a social product development company where people from all around the world submit invention ideas to our website. With the help of our passionate community, we select the best ideas each week to develop together and try to bring them to market. If an idea actually makes it, then everyone who helped along the way gets a piece of the pie. You can find our products at retailers such as Target and Bed Bath & Beyond.

Quirky is a rails shop, and we work with lots of fun technologies like AWS, mongo, iOS and heroku to name a few. We're a small team that works on lots of big, fun and interesting problems. We just moved into a brand new, fully custom office space in Chelsea (might be the coolest office you'll find in NYC). Oh and we also had a reality show on the Sundance Channel last year.

We're looking to hire rockstar rails and front end developers. More details here: http://quirky.theresumator.com/apply/

If interested, shoot me an email greg at quirky dot com. Relocation is available for well qualified candidates (I moved from SF to NYC to work here!)

Chattanooga, TN

Small interactive shop that focuses on both client projects and our own products.

Looking for front-end & back-end developers. Python and Ruby are our primary server-side languages for current & upcoming work. We have a heavy amount of development work that comes from SF-area clients (most recent clients include Teak (www.teakdigital.com) and Snapfish (just finished building photosuite.snapfish.com)).

Our products include markup.io, showoff.io, and nextroomapp.com (an iOS app & web-based service), though they've suffered an unfortunate amount of neglect this past year. We're trying to build up a good team to both change that and work on some new products, too.

Looking for both freelancers and girls/guys who want to be part of a creative team long-term.

Chicago, IL - Braintree

FULL TIME or INTERN Engineers

Braintree helps businesses process credit card payments by providing a merchant account, payment gateway, recurring billing and credit card storage. We're unlike others in the industry; we think and do things differently.

We mostly work with Ruby/Rails, but consider ourselves polyglots. Our team is talented, our practices are collaborative (pairing, agile), we work on challenging problems (high availability, quality of service, scaling, security), and our devs have 10% time to work on whatever they want. Developers use and love our product. Although we mostly work with Ruby, we also work with Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, .NET, Perl, and Objective-C

More about our people, practices, and software: http://www.braintreepayments.com/devblog

I have a plea for those posting: Please tell me what you do so I know if that's something I'm interested in.

It's a filtering mechanisim. If you aren't familiar with Etsy, then you probably aren't the person they're looking for. Much like with reddit, we posted the jobs on the blog because we wanted people familiar with the site.

With all due respect, I'm not sure there's a correlation between being familiar with and being the kind of person said startup is looking for. It's your prerogative, of course, but that sort of filtering doesn't seem very optimal to me. Shouldn't you want to inform people of the awesome and important work you're doing?

Reading, UK, Intern (Paid)

Shirlaws business coaching is looking for a paid intern (possibly recent graduate or sandwich course student) to add (more) fun to our UK team. Suited to a business / marketing individual with initative who wants to learn more about business in the real world, and take responsibility for activities like social media, events, etc.

Our team of coaches (including me) apply pretty nifty business frameworks to help entrepreneurs grow their business (whatever that means for them).

We want to learn from you. And you'll also be able to take our coach development training program, and see our business material first hand. We'll work with you to design the specific six or 12 month (ish) program to suit your needs. Could be excellent grounding if you consider yourself entrepreneurial but aren't quite sure how to get started.

See www.shirlawscoaching.co.uk for more details about our business, or email me (see my profile) with any questions or to learn more about the role.
