Disqus - San Francisco, CA

Disqus is building the largest conversation platform on the internet. Our embedded comment service sees more than 6bn pageviews monthly, but we're working on more than just comments (check out http://allthingsd.com/20121130/the-future-of-disqus-aims-at-...).

Our core technologies include javascript with backbone.js, python / django, cassandra, and postgres - though we're always experimenting with new stuff.

We're a small engineering team, and we need your help to grow. Here are some of our open positions:

* Full-stack Web Engineer. Build the future of disqus.com, focusing on: user features, the moderator dashboard, real-time analytics, and payments for new signups and advertising.

* Software Engineer - Infrastructure. Use Python to scale and improve our core architecture, hack on our constantly evolving API, and increase our system reliability.

* Core JavaScript Engineer. Work on our widely distributed embedded commenting platform / Backbone.js application (reaching millions of users daily).

* Operations Engineer. Help improve uptime and speed up our response times in our backend infrastructure. We're on dedicated hardware running postgres, cassandra, redis, and memcache. Lots of freedom and exposure to all aspects of our stack here.

* Automations Engineer. Automate all the things, specifically our testing, packaging, deployments. Work on building new tools to speed up development and improve code quality.

We've got a strong culture of open source (https://github.com/disqus/) and passionate voices in the community (e.g. https://github.com/dcramer/ & https://github.com/benvinegar/).

If you're interested in joining us (even if you have a passion that doesn't match up with the postings above), drop me a line: mike@disqus.com

Geizhals in Vienna, Austria is looking for senior and lead web/full-stack developers (INTERN).

We currently use mostly Perl (mod_perl, PSGI/Plack and Mojolicious), PostgreSQL, Redis, Apache, Gearman, as well as JavaScript, C, Java/JSP, PHP for minor projects, but as an experienced lead developer you would build/expand a team based on sound technology decisions yourself.

We're a small (hc: 53), privately-owned and profitable company running one of the oldest and most popular price comparison websites in the German speaking area (built in 1997, incorporated in 2000) and several smaller sites, looking to build a strong, experienced development team to bolster our efforts for current and future projects.

German is not strictly required, but helpful. English is mandatory. Strong team skills and a hands-on mentality are absolutely required. You must have experience building large, complex, high-performance websites, implementing A/B-testing and working with medium-sized, mixed (not only dev) teams.

If you want to make a difference and enjoy one of the highest living standards in the world, let us know at: jobs@geizhals.at

Salaries for these positions will typically be in the range of €56K-80K/y.

CHICAGO - COYOTE - We went from 0 to a billion in revenue in 6 years.. So we're pretty much hiring in every type of position you can think of to keep up with growth. Come join us. http://www.coyote.com/careers/

I recently applied for National Account Manager. I never received an automated response stating my application went through. I use vpenajr@gmail.com as my email address. I checked the status, it says, "submitted." It was strange not to get the automatic response email.

Burlingame, CA (next to the San Francisco airport)

Collaborative Drug Discovery (CDD - https://www.collaborativedrug.com) is the first real SaaS informatics platform. Every day, scientists around the world use CDD to manage, analyze and collaborate around their data. This type of collaboration is crucial to research on under-funded diseases like Tuberculosis and Malaria and strategic for many players in the industry. Our long list of customers includes academic labs, biotechs, pharmas, government agencies and worldwide foundations like the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation.

We think the world has seen too many ugly scientific applications. We care about usability and details. Our team ships code quickly and iteratively. We think design and community management are as important as great technology.

We believe a few great people can make a big difference. We strive to embody our name and empower every CDD employee to do their best work. This means working collaboratively, and giving every person ownership and responsibilities.

++Senior Software Engineer++

As an engineer, you will have a huge impact on how we design, build and deliver our application. You should be a generalist and enjoy working across the software stack. Our current technologies include Ruby (Rails), MySQL, Javascript, Java, and Solr.

We look for engineers who love finding efficient, thoughtful, and highly useable solutions to a variety of technical and product challenges. You should strive to write efficient, maintainable code and you should enjoy fast iterations.

Sample projects include:

* Designing a flexible model and flow that allow scientists to invite collaborators and selectively share data with them.

* Building and maintaining an API for third party developers and integrations.

* Developing interactive graphical representations for the analysis of chemical and biologic data.

* Optimizing import, export and computation of large data sets.

To apply, please contact work@collaborativedrug.com with your resume, cover letter, and links to things you’ve built.
