#172Rap Genius (YC S11) - Brooklyn, NY - http://rapgenius.com - Help us build the Wall of History
jobs@rapgenius.com
IF YOU PASS OUR TECHNICAL INTERVIEW AND RECEIVE A JOB OFFER FROM US, WE'LL GIVE YOU $1,000 CASH (even if you don't take the job!) http://news.rapgenius.com/Lemon-introducing-the-rap-genius-g....
We're one of the fastest-growing sites on the internet, we get 25MM unique visitors per month, we've raised $15m from Andreesen Horowitz, and yet our tech team is only seven people. Anyone who joins us is going to have the best of both worlds, you'll work on a product that millions love and use while getting the experience of being a part of a small team and helping define the culture.
WHO WE ARE
We're a tiny, quick-shipping team. Each of us makes product decisions and owns whole features. We're close and we all enjoy spending time together. We’re a small team because we’re picky about who joins us. We have one of the hardest technical interviews in NYC but if you make it, you’re going to be on the best team around. Our house library includes Metaprogramming in Ruby; Godel, Escher, Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid; POODR; and "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?". Loving rap is not a prerequisite for working here, though an appreciation osmoses to everyone after a while.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
We started Rap Genius in 2009 to explain the meaning of rap lyrics, but the big vision goes beyond music and touches all of text – whether it's the Bill of Rights (http://news.rapgenius.com/United-states-congress-the-us-cons...), the Bible (http://news.rapgenius.com/God-10-commandments-lyrics), “The Waste Land” (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Ts-eliot-the-waste-land-lyrics), or the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling (http://news.rapgenius.com/The-supreme-court-of-the-united-st...), it's all on Rap Genius (or Poetry Genius, or News Genius, or... you get the idea). One of our favorite recent examples is Junot Diaz's amazing annotations on an excerpt from his own The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Junot-diaz-the-brief-wondrous-li...).
BENEFITS
* Bomb salary and equity—you won't be taking a pay cut to work here
* We don't count vacation days
* Free meals in the office, free unlimited Seamless, free unlimited Fresh Direct
* Free gym in the building
* We pay your phone bill and when you join we'll upgrade you to the newest iPhone
* Laundry and shower in the office * Free indoor bike parking
* Free health, dental, and vision benefits
* The deluxe computer setup of your choice
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
* Experienced full-stack Rails engineers
* Front-end developers with an eye for design
* iOS devs to help build our upcoming iPhone app
INTERESTED?
Hit us up at jobs@rapgenius.com with:
* Your name and GitHub profile, your Twitter, blog, StackOverflow account, personal website, etc.
* A cool side project you built, library you've released, or some code that's impressive
* Something brief about what you like and dislike about the technologies you've used
* Your résumé
* Apply if you live in NYC or are willing to relocate. Our office is in Williamsburg, and it's awesome.

#174Likeable Local - Portland, Maine - Social Media Tools for Small Businesses http://www.likeablelocal.com/ We at Likeable Local are looking to grow our team and seeking two talented and motivated software engineers.

#175Agave Lab -- Guadalajara Mexico.
We're an early stage product incubator located in sunny Guadalajara, Mexico that was founded by an ex-Bay Area startup exec 4 years ago. We turn out products, about 3-4 per year, based on our own ideas. The ones that go well, we reinvest in. Those that don't, we bury in the yard. We also invest in, mentor, and incubate local startups targeting the Latin American market. We're at the center of the rapidly emerging startup boom in Mexico. Mostly though, we have a lot of fun.
We're giving a few developers the opportunity to rethink their life priorities and get out of Dodge for a while. You're startup is flagging? Sick of the fog? Commute got you down? Just broke up with your partner? Why not pull the rip cord and come work with us for a while?
What do we have to offer? * A vibrant, biggish (pop. 4M), student-oriented city, that's full of hip bars, restaurants, and (really) beautiful, friendly people. * A work environment that is, hands down, the hippest place to work in Mexico. Imagine programming in the hammock - poolside (yes, we have a pool). * Use of the beach house. We have a 3 story beach house with all mod cons, 20 feet from a graceful, immaculate sandy bay in a small fishing village. Also, one of the premier left point surf breaks is 5 minutes away by boat (which we also have). * A chance to learn (or practice your Spanish). * An opportunity to be at ground zero for one of the most vibrant and rapidly expanding startup scenes in the world. * Beef up your resume with experience in navigating the business climate in Mexico and Latin America. * and, finally, ALMOST NO MONEY. Okay, not entirely true - you'll be paid a very tidy wage (by mexican standards) which will allow you to live well here - most things are cheap here. However, if you compare what you'll make here versus what you're making now? It will be a disappointing exercise. Said differently, if money is what you're after - then this is not for you. If you're looking for adventure, fun, and to challenge your self with something new - welcome to your new home!!!
Who are we looking for? It's all listed on the website: http://www.agavelab.com/hiring/ but in summary: HTML/CSS/Javascript kung fu Mobile dev skills (android or iOS) Server dev skills Community managers/growth hacking
Our technology stack is HTML5, CSS3, Java, NodeJS, MongoDB, Play Framework, Scala. But don't worry if you don't know these. As long as you have a very solid command of at least one programming language (Java, C, C++, Python, etc) and are smart as a whip, we can teach you the rest. We expect the same things that any software development shop would: ability to write clean, well-documented code, familiarity with Dev Environments (Xcode, CodeIgniter/Play/Angular/etc.), experience with Agile/Scrum concepts, etc. Culturally we look for self-starters that can thrive with very little guidance and who have a genuine passion of solving complex problems. You should also like beer (or not be afraid to watch others consume large quantities of it), music, the sun, and tacos.) Oh yes, and a sense of humor - you'll want to bring that too. You want to know more? Of course you do. Check out the site: www.agavelab.com or drop us an email. Maybe download/visit a few of our apps and check them out. Or read some of our press: http://pandodaily.com/2013/05/21/how-a-valley-veteran-found-... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/22/world/americas/for-migrant... http://venturebeat.com/2013/09/23/agave-lab-throws-sparks-on... We hope to hear from you soon.
