Rinse ( http://www.rinse.com ) - San Francisco, CA (REMOTE a possibility if you live in a major US city)

Rinse is a very early-stage startup (we are only 6 people currently) looking to bring technology to the dry-cleaning industry. The industry is ripe for innovation! We're building mobile apps, tackling scheduling and dispatch problems, and scaling a service at over 10% week-on-week growth for over 6 months now! I know 'app for laundry' is a tech cliché right now, but we're definitely encountering real demand. The problem is real, and we're solving it.

The team is very strong, with an HBS grad who grew up in a dry-cleaning family heading cleaning operations, a Stanford GSB grad with direct consumer startup experience heading customer acquisition, and a former Army Ranger managing our driver corps. I'm Stanford CS/EE, have built a few teams at various startups, and am just starting to build the technology and team to support this (very viable) business. The tech stack is Heroku / Python / Django / Celery / Phonegap / JQuery / Backbone / Twilio currently, but obviously there is plenty of opportunity to influence technology decisions early on, and plenty of opportunity to learn new technologies as well. We expect the next couple of hires to own entire new efforts, and have their hands in wide-ranging parts of our entire business.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Developer to develop interactivity for our customers and tools for our staff. We're doing things like route scheduling and planning, e-commerce funnel optimization, and analytics gathering for data-driven decision making.

We're also looking for a Director of Marketing. Rinse is a quintessential B2C business, with plenty of opportunities for online advertising, offline collateral, partnerships, and 'growth hacking.' We're building a scalable business model and the technology to support it, now help us scale the business. Please see a job description at http://bit.ly/1dLJigo - The sky's the limit!

Finally, if anyone in San Francisco is looking to make a few extra dollars part-time, Rinse is hiring part-time Associates to help us deliver clothes. We pay $25 per hour for a handful of hours per week. Perhaps it would be a way for some of you bootstrapping startups to earn a little extra cash? To apply to the Driver / Associate position, fill out this web form: https://docs.google.com/a/rinse.com/forms/d/1kWZYu1kg1r8kxdD....

Hacker News has definitely been our most successful recruiting channel. Thank you! Feel free to contact me at sam@rinse.com with questions, comments, or applications.

Monetate - Conshohocken, PA (Philly suburbs) - No remote, but we will relocate. Monetate helps digital marketers make their content more relevant. We turn data into action on our clients' sites by doing real-time data analysis and DOM manipulation to put the right experience in front of their users. We’re looking for engineers who want to do highly visible work on great brands and solve tough problems with great coworkers. What we're looking for:

* Problem solvers who like to code - we take things apart, figure out how they work, then build software to solve our users' problems.

* People who like to ship - we're focused on building and shipping great products - if you like to see your work in production quickly you'll see it here. We ship often (every two weeks), and iterate.

* People who like hard challenges - we have great problems across our products - huge data sets, UX, 3rd party Javascript, high volume / low latency APIs - we have no shortage of fun problems to work on.

About us:

* Founded in 2008

* Respect - it's our core value. We have a great team and we work well together. Our vacation policy is the same as Netflix (we don't have one). Our technical project teams are self-organizing and have full authority over (as well as responsibility for) the problems they work on.

* Open source - Google Closure, Python, AngularJS, Pandas, Redis, Hadoop, Mahout, Solr, Selenium - we're open source across our stack

* Funded by First Round Capital and OpenView

We've hired great people from HN before, and we're looking for people not positions. We have people who have joined the team with no background in our primary languages and people from non-traditional backgrounds.

New York

Junior/Senior developers at DaisyBill

We're looking for 1-2 developers who are experienced with Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript. We don't have a designer, so having an eye towards good UX/UI is a plus.

We're also looking for someone at the CTO level.

DaisyBill is located at 34 W 15th Street in Manhattan. We're a SaaS vendor serving the workers' compensation e-billing market.

Workers' comp is a vastly underserved part of the medical e-billing trade which has been a struggle for all parties involved: the injured worker, the practice that treats the injured worker, and the insurance companies that handle the claims/bills. Electronic billing aims to make the situation better.

DaisyBill manages the entire billing process, both generating and sending the bill electronically and managing the responses about the status of the bill, including when it was paid and how much. As a result of using DaisyBill, practices are paid more quickly and accurately than when they submit bills via paper/snail mail. We're talking 15 days instead of 60, 90, or more, if at all. This makes practices more likely to take on injured workers as patients, an obvious benefit for all parties.

You can read more about our service offering at www.daisybill.com.

The stack we currently run is Rails 3 on Heroku.

We use Git for source control and use Macs for development. We develop in an agile manner in the style of ThoughtWorks and Pivotal Labs, using Pivotal Tracker. We like our code to have tests, and as such we have an extensive suite covering the Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript code on the site.

Please send all inquiries to jobs@daisybill.com.

NYC or REMOTE http://TanookiLabs.com/iOS

iOS developers needed at our fast-growing Rails & iOS consultancy. We need full-time people, as well as part-time freelancers who want to build their own projects while working with us.

Why we're different:

- We focus on entrepreneurs and products, and are picky about our clients. Our goal is to learn from everyone we work with.

- We reject that idea that a shop needs to be a mill. We work 35hrs/week. A common refrain is "why are you still here? go home!"

- We're developers ourselves. We founded this thing because we love building.

- We believe that we win when our employees win, and codify that in great pay and serious profit sharing. When someone tries to steal you away to work on their new idea, I want you to smile and say "I can't, my gig's too sweet"

email us at contact AT tanookilabs.com if you'd like to chat!
