Udacity (http://udacity.com/jobs) - Mountain View, CA Openings: Full-Stack Engineer, Backend Engineer, Front-End Engineer, Lead Designer, Product Designer

I recently saw an interactive map of the US[1]. Each state had its most common profession listed over the period of 1978-2014. For 2014, you'll see that truck driving is by far and away and the most common profession. No real surprise there. However, if you look closely, you'll see that in Utah, Virginia, Washington and Colorado that software developer has become that states most common profession. How amazing! I am convinced that within the next 2-8 years, we'll start to see a gargantuan shift where tech skills are in such demand (even more so than now) that Software Developers become the most commonplace profession across the US and world. Udacity will be powering the education behind all of that.

If you're world-class in what you do, please get in touch at oliver@udacity.com.

VuWall Technology - Montreal, Quebec, Canada - http://www.vuwall.com

We're looking for an experienced Linux Sysadmin / DevOps specialist with an interest to learn and grow with a small ~10 person team.

We create video wall management software and are heading toward a continuous delivery model that we need your help achieving. We have ~25 computers in house, some powering 2x2 and 3x3 video walls of up to 138 inches (with a PS3 hooked up too!). We need to set up several test environments as our software will run on both Windows and Linux. We'll also need some mundane things like file shares as we want to give our current Windows Server 2012 the boot.

We haven't made any of the big decisions yet as we're waiting for someone with more experience to come and join the team. So that means we'll be working together to figure out whether to use Chef, Vagrant, Docker, Salt, Puppet, or something else. We're extremely open to new technologies and get to work with what are essentially giant toys.

We've done projects in the past for NASA, FIFA, US Army, nuclear power plants, electric companies, and departments of transportation. Our software has been installed in over 30 countries and now we're looking to take the next step forward which we can't do without a bit more organization / streamlining. That's where you come in.

Iterable (https://www.iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA

Come join Iterable. We are bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer Internet companies like Twitter/Facebook build internally to other e-businesses. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century. Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

  - Scale our messaging API 
  - Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces 
  - Write software to build machine learned user models 
  - Make data visualizations for our email and user data 
  - Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

  - We are all very focused on self improvement 
  - Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want)
  - We are chill and empathetic people 
  - The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

  - Scala
  - ElasticSearch
  - Postgres
  - Redis
  - AngularJS
  - Play Framework
  - RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our office at 5th and Market in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me: girish at iterable.com
