Los Angeles, CA Stealth-mode startup with solid funding. Currently have a team of 8 in the US and 4 in Europe. Looking for solid engineers in the LA area (telecommuting not an option, sorry). Experience building social networks or mobile development a plus (iOS or Android), but really just looking for solid engineers who fit with our small team. We aim to exit stealth by next summer. Email questions to jaaronfarr [at…

We are experienced hardware and software engineers in LA with many products and start-ups under our belts. Let us know if we can be of help. We have no problem signing NDAs.

Palo Alto, CA - Quora http://www.quora.com/jobs We're looking for designers and engineers. - Codebase is mostly Python, JS, and C++ - Real continuous deployment (every git push deploys the new version of the code if all the test pass) - Product w/ traction that is growing quickly - Hard problems to work hard on - Smart people to work with and learn from ( http://www.quora.com/about/team ) jobs@quora.com or e-mail me…

If you don't mind sharing, how do you manage coordinating necessary schema changes with those continuous code deployments? (Yes, I am assuming an RDBM store and not a pure NoSQL store).

For the most part, schema changes can be done without breaking the existing code base (add columns, add tables, etc.) These schema changes can just be run on the databases before the code depending on it is pushed. Much more rarely though, there might be code that depends on a certain schema (the kind that say, alter table might do). In this case we can push out code that is compatible with both versions (at the very worst case, using table descriptions to differentiate between the two), run the schema change, and then eliminate the backwards compatibility.

There's not that much different in terms of operating procedure between continuous code deployment and scheduled code deployments; it's just much faster and less prone to merge errors.

Our new NYC startup jumpkick is seeking Rails developers to work remotely with our team on some outstanding tickets and ongoing efforts to help us get to Beta in coming months.

Must have strong experience in large consumer facing data driven sites, especially those with social components, matching algorithms, recommendation engines, NLP i.e. dating sites, social networks, pandora, linkedin, etc.. We're building something special. It's also in Rails 3.

Ryan@MagnetAgency.net for more info.

I should also point out that Magnet Agency, our next gen recruiting company, has gobs of opportunities all the time for NYC talent in development, product management, sales and marketing and we do alot of exec search. We don't work with BS companies, every client is a killer tech startup or top agency/media brand we'd work at ourselves.

Los Angeles, CA - SpaceX Our team is looking for 2 more developers to help us build SpaceX's enterprise and manufacturing systems. We primarily use C# but experience in OOP languages such as Java or Ruby is just fine. We offer excellent benefits, pre-IPO stock, and free yogurt everyday =) Drop me a line at paulo[at]spacex[dot]com if interested.

Very interesting, but US citizens and permanent residents only.

At Mandalorian (http://www.mandalorian.com/) we have a bunch of positions open at the moment. We're based in Reading, UK but some of the roles are home based with occasional office days. Expect to go through some form of government clearance regardless of the role, and sadly the pen test and anti-malware roles are available to UK nationals only for security reasons:

1. We need a Sales Executive to work with our growing team selling information assurance consultancy services and helping to launch a brand new service in the advanced antimalware space.

2. We need a penetration tester with CHECK, Tigerscheme or CREST certification equivalent to CTL to join our pentest team, with opportunity to cross over into...

3. Anti-malware analyst and investigator. Using advanced network and memory forensics tools and techniques, you'll be reverse engineering malicious and non-malicious code and tracking and eliminating threats from the conventional to potentially state sponsored targeted attacks.

4. Python/Django developer to work on some internal projects relating to security testing and malware.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

From what I can tell, you've melded a backend and frontend dev for the server engineer role. Thanks for your time, but you require a degree, so I'm out.

The title is melded. Your role is whatever your best fit is. We have "server engineers" that do frontend dev almost exclusively, others that do backend dev almost exclusively, and others that do a bit of both. We've hired people without degrees, and we've hired people without 5+ years experience. If you're good, we'll bend the rules.

The clarification is appreciated.
