FULLTIME or INTERN. Offices in San Francisco, Boston, and Menlo Park.

Delphix (www.delphix.com) is a data virtualization company that does for databases what VMware did for servers - this is a massive market, and we are on track for similar success. The product is unique and provides huge value to our users - in our first year of selling, we have already added 30 large corporate customers, including many of the Fortune 500 (Proctor & Gamble, Staples, Qualcomm, etc.). The engineering team is top notch, which includes inventors and architects of the VMware platform, Oracle RAC, Sun ZFS file system, and DTrace. We believe database virtualization is the next frontier for achieving 100x payback in IT, and Delphix is leading the way.

Delphix engineering sits at the nexus of three core technologies: databases, operating systems, and the cloud. We've taken the best and brightest across the industry and built an engineering culture where anyone with a good idea has a voice and can drive unique projects with the backing of a wealth of knowledge and experience. Whether its developing new abstractions in the filesystem, designing an architecture to inter-operate with a novel database, or developing a new cloud paradigm for structured data, there is no lack of hard problems and opportunities at Delphix.


WANTED (intelligent/creative/passionate problem solvers)


Do you want to work with brilliant people in a culture where creativity and clarity of thinking is encouraged and rewarded? Are you interested in working on the Data, the next big problem in Data Center? Do you thrive on solving difficult technical challenges? Do you take pride in writing beautiful code with a strong attention to detail? Then we are looking for you! Engineers who strive to master their craft; generalists who want to contribute at all levels of the application, from the database to the client and all things in-between. Delphix offers awesome tough technical challenges in the Systems Management, File Systems, Distributed / Cloud Computing, Clustering, Databases, and software excellence.

Because people often ask, these threads do work. I got in touch with http://romotive.com after seeing them post in one, and am currently packing up to move to Las Vegas and go work on robots (!) with a great team of kindred spirits, only a few weeks after I first sent them a letter. Good luck to searchers on both sides in finding your own perfect fit.

I'm somewhat curious as to how much ageism is prevalent in these opportunities. From what I've seen, a large percentage of the staff/lifestyle pics associated with these companies show an endless sea of smiling employees in their late 20s & early 30s. Is there room for devs beyond that age?

NYC: Product Designers, Communication Designers, Frontend Developers, Backend Developers, Infrastructure Engineers, Data Engineers

CODECADEMY has taught millions of people the basics of programming in just one year. We started a year ago in YC and have brought basic programming literacy to people who didn't know the difference between JS and Java. We have a lot more to teach and we're looking for designers and developers to help us get there.

The boring stuff: we're a small team (12 full timers) with opportunities for people to have an outsized impact. We have the privilege of working with great investors (YC, Union Square Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, etc.) but, most importantly, of working with great peers (check them out here: codecademy.com/about). People on our team are Rhodes Scholars, published poets, instigators of international movements, and more.

Join us and help the world learn to code. codecademy.com/jobs or email us at jobs@codecademy.com.

San Francisco/Palo Alto: iOS, Ruby on Rails, Generalists

Email info@orbesquare.com

What we do: Or Be Square -- http://orbesquare.com -- (as in 'be there or be square') is a mobile and web application that helps people discover events and activities they love and plan them with their friends.

Who: we're a small, passionate, fun group of guys that write code everyday, have worked at Bessemer Venture Partners/Microsoft/Amazon, and went to school at Berkeley/Princeton/MIT.

Why now: The beauty of our situation is that you get all the excitement and responsibility of being at an early stage company with huge potential, but you get to avoid much of the associated downside because we've already raised a bunch of money and get to spend lots of time with amazing advisors and investors who have helped make companies like Dropbox, Ticketmaster, Amazon Recommendations, Disney, ShoeDazzle, Playdom, etc., the amazing businesses they are today.

You'll get to be an instrumental part of the company that delivers what we and our supporters believe could, really, be one of the most important products in a person's life in the future.

What we've built:

(1) Sophisticated and scalable service-oriented architecture

(2) A sanitized, curated database of most of the events in the U.S.

(3) A recommendation engine that learns about user interests by crunching data from Spotify, Facebook, etc.

(4) Clever social functionality that neatly folds together Facebook, Twilio and more.

(5) Ticketing feature (with our API partner SeatGeek) that will immediately deliver material revenue when we launch

(6) An alpha front-end that gets slicker everyday

*What we can offer: competitive compensation, meaningful early stage equity stakes, deep technical problems, shiny aluminum toys to hack on, and a lot of fun.

If you're interested please shoot us an email at info@orbesquare.com!
