Menlo Park, CA - FULLTIME, INTERN, H1B welcome

OptumSoft (http://www.optumsoft.com/jobs.html)

Our company is a startup focused on redefining the way distributed applications are developed. We believe existing mechanisms for programming distributed systems are difficult and error-prone. To solve this, we invented a development platform to construct high-performance large-scale applications, and we are building applications using this framework to validate our beliefs.

We already have customers using our software in production environments.

We're looking for engineers with C++ development experience that have an interest in distributed systems and/or compilers.

If you're interested, please email me - nflath@optumsoft.com

Likely, London UK, Full-time. (Clojure, Cascalog, Hadoop)

Likely use "big data" from social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to connect audiences with the things they will love.

We do this by helping brands better understand their customers, both existing and potential, by looking at their online behaviour. We've done this successfully for our own communities (@LDN and Handpicked London on Facebook are examples) but we also sell this expertise to clients who trust us to plan campaigns and analyse, acquire and engage authentic audiences on their behalf.

We analyse billions of data points on our Hadoop and HBase cluster using Cascalog (a Clojure DSL for the Cascading framework) and we've started to use Clojure for other projects too. Other languages we use or have used are Java, Ruby and Erlang in production and, Python and R behind the scenes.

This is a great opportunity to join a successful startup that is scaling quickly (there were 5 of us at the beginning of the year, we're now 12). We are looking for people who are excited by the challenges of working within a startup, who are hungry to learn new tools and ways of working, and who can take the initiative as we grow quickly over the coming months.

* Collaborate with a smart and motivated development team on cutting edge technologies * Manage billions of data points in a distributed system * Enjoy working in a fun and focused startup environment * 10% time devoted to "hackday" projects * Free food in the office, ordered weekly * Conference passes, books from our large and expanding library  * See your efforts enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people daily

You'll be based in our light and airy London office a stone's throw from Old St reporting directly to the CTO. Part-time remote working can be accommodated. Please send applications to henry@likely.co

Klout is hiring in San Francisco, CA: http://klout.com/#/corp/careers

We’re looking for a seasoned infrastructure engineer with Hadoop experience, someone who can both implement elegant solutions to Big Data problems and lead by example. You’ve architected highly-scalable, distributed systems efficiently using open source tools -- and maybe even contributed to some. You’re well versed in the challenges of dealing with petabytes of data on a daily basis and the opportunity to crunch billions of social signals a day excites you.

Problems we’re working on:

-Scalability and Infrastructure: Building infrastructure to collect, store and process hundreds of millions of social interactions per day -Real-time systems: Real-time data infrastructures to process large volumes of data

We're also looking for some seriously-talented operations engineers to help us create cutting edge systems and tools to manage, maintain and monitor all aspects of the Klout production, staging, and development environments. Our environment is an intense combination of modern software and tried and true technologies including and leveraging Hadoop, Hbase, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, MySQL, HAProxy, redis, memcached, Node.js and Scala. We'll challenge your scalability chops with our high volume consumer site traffic coupled with the Big Data challenges of processing over 2.7 billion data signals a day for over 300 million users on multiple petabyte clusters.

First hire at stealth security startup (YC W12) - Mountain View, CA - Part-time or Full-time, starting immediately. Competitive pay / significant equity.

We are building a multi-platform security application and API that solves a relatively common problem for businesses and end-users in the domain of cloud storage and cloud-based sharing. You will be working directly with the founders and must be prepared to take ownership of significant portions of the product. Of course, you will be given the freedom to make decisions on your own.

Our product is multi-platform (currently Windows and Mac + some linux support), and our API can be used both at the client and server. The core application code is in portable C++, and we have front-ends in Cocoa and .Net, with Qt frontends in the works. There is a lot of crypto and experience working with cryptographic libraries is a huge plus.

Requirements:

* Plenty of C++ programming experience, especially systems code. Any platform is okay (Windows / Mac / Linux), as long as you are not biased against working on another platforms if required. * Great object oriented design and API design skills.

Other good-to-have skills:

   * Ruby on Rails 
   * In-browser cryptography (JS crypto, Native Client experience a plus)
   * UI programming -- Qt / Cocoa / .Net
   * iOS / Android experience
   * Desktop application design / testing experience
Of course, we're not looking for someone with all of the above skills, but you must be a fast learner and someone who has fun writing code and working in a startup environment.

iOffice - Houston, TX (Remote OK) We are a successful company with over a thousand large customers. We are looking for passionate developers to add to our small team. Our application covers many different areas from iPhone & Android mobile apps to, visual floor plan management, and map/GIS integration. Our stack consists of HTML/JS/CSS Java/Hibernate backend Actionscript & Adobe AIR PhoneGap Sencha Touch Even if you…

This is where I currently work and It has been an amazing experience. I have grown so much as a developer here because of the culture. Kgray really gives you the freedom to explore new technologies and encourages it. On Fridays you'll often find us debating up and coming trends in programming.

Our team is structured as follows: The owners give Kgray complete control over development, this is why we are allowed to have a hacker friendly culture. The team consists of 5 developers with a variety of backgrounds: some self taught, some with formal training. This is because what matters here is passion, skill, and talent.

So what is cool about the product? Notice in Kgray's post it says "Remote OK". This is because our product is about facility management. The way people of all backgrounds interact with their employers is changing, and is changing in a big way. That is what all of our current development is about. So if you want to be apart of this change, this change that accounts for 40+ hours a week for every working man/woman in the world, give Kgray a shout. I guarantee you will look at your time at iOffice fondly.
