Kabbage - San Francisco, CA and Atlanta, GA - http://www.kabbage.com

Kabbage has successfully created a new market niche in providing short-term cash advances to small businesses via a completely-automated underwriting system. After linking Kabbage to a marketplace account, accounting system, or business checking account, users can have funds in their PayPal account in minutes. Data science and machine learning approaches underlie the underwriting model and provide a fertile bed for deeper understanding of (and potentially further products targeting) the SMB ecosystem.

Kabbage has received a metric ton of good press and awards from TechCrunch et al, the fintech industry, and the founders have been on Bloomberg TV and Fox News several times. Investors and board members include former Yahoo! CEOs, Square co-founders, UPS, and a veritable who's who in the VC community -- http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/kabbage

Badass .NET jockeys sought in Atlanta, and badass data scientists sought in SF. Familiarity with the entire stack not necessary if the ability to learn it quickly is demonstrated.

Stats:

  - Stack: ASP.NET MVC / REST WebAPI / EF / SQL Server
  - Employees: 80ish
  - Office doors: zero
  - Responsibility, ambition, development pace, salaries: all high
  - Provided hardware: MacBook Pro Retina (or PC equivalent), plus as many Thunderbolt displays as you dare daisy-chain
  - Lunch, snacks, drinks, parking: free!
  - Kegs: 2
  - Patents: 2 (plus four more applications)
  - People who've beat Ghosts n' Goblins on the multicade cabinet: ZERO AAARGH
I am an alumni of the company and therefore do not speak in an official capacity, but I'm happy to answer your questions or give feedback on your resume: rj@rjcantrell.com

More position info: https://www.kabbage.com/company/careers (I would rather you send me your resume, but if you contact them directly, tell them RJ sent you)

Significance Labs - Brooklyn, NY - http://significancelabs.org/

We at Significance Labs believe that technology can help to solve real problems for low income Americans and we are looking for excellent engineers to help us in our mission. Significance Labs is a not-for-profit socially conscious tech incubator in the heart of Brooklyn, focusing on bringing the lean startup methodology to the world of charity.

We are looking for a handful of excellent, experienced full stack engineers who want to do more with their talents: take on a project that really matters, something that leverages the power of technology to help make the world a better place. To that end, we are offering a ten week residency, beginning in June, at our office in downtown Brooklyn, working with some of the best people in the business, experts in the field, academics, designers and technologists to tackle some of the real problems of poverty.

You will be working with our fellows, in small teams, developing an app from scratch, with direct feedback from the very communities we are trying to help. This isn't a hackathon where your code gets left in the dustbin sunday night: we are going to be building projects that will continue to make a real difference long after the summer is over.

What you’ll get

* Co-Working space in downtown Brooklyn

* Expert engineers, entrepreneurs, UI and UX people as mentors

* Local collegiate interns as dedicated as you

* At the end of the cycle, we will do a demo day with VC’s, foundations, government organizations, etc. to help take the product and team to the next level.

* An honorarium to pay your rent and bills.

You are a talented engineer, and could work anywhere: Why join us?

This is an opportunity to build a greenfield project that really matters, something that leverages the power of technology to help make the world a better place. This is your chance to be the CTO of a social enterprise, level up your skills, and work with some of the best people in the business solving some of the most important problems of our time.

This isn’t just another gig, nor is it your friend’s crazy idea about how to disrupt some market... This is about changing the world for the better.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, you can find out more and apply here: http://significancelabs.org/hackers

SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred)

SwiftStack is a storage company building and deploying object storage for our customers (think S3 in your own datacenter). Our product is a management controller that works with OpenStack Swift. Swift gives deployers the ability to create scalable storage pools for modern applications, and SwiftStack provides the management tools for day-to-day operation of the cluster. We charge our customers a recurring license fee for the management software based on how much storage capacity they have deployed.

SwiftStack (the company) is about 2.5 years old. We've got about 30 employees, and we're actively hiring developers. Here's a short list of some things we're currently working on:

    - New features and bugfixes in OpenStack Swift
    - Making clean, responsive UIs to simply communicate information about large storage clusters
    - Using metrics to diagnose errors and proactively fix them for customers

Interested in knowing more? Send us an email at jobs+hn@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.
