Prometheus Research, New Haven, CT ; https://prometheusresearch.com

* Sr. Dev Ops Engineer (New Haven, Chicago, or U.S. Remote) *

Prometheus is building out our hosting infrastructure for customized OSS RexDB deployments. You'll be joining two competent systems folk, and a delightful product manager. We use reStructuredText and Sphinx for documentation, Python for scripting, Ansible for automation, and, soon Docker for application releases. We're also moving from Apache to nginx with the help of customized lua scripts.

We're really interested in someone who has broad technical knowledge yet groks networks and security. To collaborate remotely with our staff and clients, you need to be an accomplished writer with solid task management skills. We're a custom development shop, with clients of varied technical skill levels; since our system group is often the primary contact for technical issues, you'll have to fearlessly tackle all sorts of challenges... both technical and political.

Unfortunately, since access to Protected Health Information is required, we're only hiring in the U.S. for this position.

* Sr. Application Developer (New Haven, or Worldwide Remote) *

Our clients have all sorts of medical informatics challenges. Prometheus is also looking for someone to help build out our open source RexDB software (http://rexdb.org) and deliver customized applications using it.

The backend is written in Python using PostgreSQL, and we're busy updating our client code to use Facebook's React toolkit. We're especially looking for someone who loves analytics, and wishes to improve HTSQL (http://htsql.org) with data processing and graphing features. For more information, you could browse the code base at http://bitbucket.org/rexdb/ and https://github.com/prometheusresearch

Of course, it's great if you could join our core team in New Haven, CT. Since most of our company is remote, you will need to work independently, and, love to write succinct analysis and usage documentation.

Thanks in advance for dropping us a note at hn-201407@prometheusresearch.com - Clark

Devops - Chicago, Illinois - GetSet

We're an EdTech Startup that's building an engagement platform that hopes to improve retention rates in post-secondary, non-traditional learners. Basically, if you're an adult and you want to improve your life through education, we're here to try to help you succeed. We've been around since October 2012 and have a team of nine people.

Our Product team consists of a VP of Product, three programmers, and a User Experience person. The remaining team members are a Community Manager, a Relationship Manager, our CEO, and our VP of Sales.

* AWS

* Linux admin, shell scripting, etc.

* Some configuration management tool (Docker, Chef, Puppet, etc.)

* Server config/management (nginx, haproxy, openssl, etc.)

* Tuning JVM and/or ruby apps (ideally, both)

* Networking, TCP/IP tuning, etc.

* Deployment (continuous, or something close to it)

* Some working knowledge of one or more programming languages (ideally, one we use - JavaScript, Clojure, Ruby)

* Automation of lots of the above

* Experience working closely and frequently with programmers, as you'll be sitting in the bullpen with us

* Interest in writing production code while at the same time not seeing Devops as just a stepping stone to full-time production coder

* Plays well with others

* Experience transitioning away from Heroku

We're a small, cool-headed team who like our relatively well-defined roles. Culture fit is extremely important for us at our current size so "plays well with others" is probably the most important bullet point.

For Goodness Sake, LLC (Local preferred, Remote considered)

Seeking: Front End Developer & Full Stack Engineer

Technologies: Angular, Foundation, Spring MVC, on AWS

We're an early stage funded startup in stealth mode and we're building an experiential mobile web app to help break through the stigma, shame and misconceptions around sex. It’s what The Joy of Sex could have been if it had today's leading edge tech behind it. No generation thinks they’re repressed – it’s only in hindsight that we see how taboos in previous generations were keeping individuals and couples from living fully. We feel it’s our duty to future generations to move the conversation forward, even if doing so ruffles some feathers.
