San Mateo (Bay Area), California - REMOTE, H1B

Coupa Software - Procurement and Spend Management for business, in the cloud.

Looking for

    - Ruby on Rails developers 
    - JavaScript developers
    - front-end developers with or without additional design skills
    - iOS developers
Our product is built on Rails, and helps businesses save money, and all of their people who do purchasing and expenses to have much more efficient and enjoyable jobs. Our customers love our product, because we work extremely hard on to improve and protect the user experience, design, and overall coherence of the product.

Current goals and challenges include building new features, improving our automated testing, and maintaining a solid foundation for the product. Your workload in a given month might include bugs, a feature or two to build by yourself or with a few others, improving our technology stack, or implementing your own ideas to improve the product. We like people who are full stack, and like learning about all areas of the product.

I am a full-stack dev, so I do everything from tuning database queries to Rails to JavaScript to visual design on my features, its pretty damn rewarding and interesting.

Working on the product development team is pretty great. I enjoy working and spending time with everyone on the team, and we have smart people from lots of different backgrounds and locations. We have a neat office space in downtown San Mateo that is open and perfect for a team of programmers (we keep the noise down when we're working). We are two blocks from the San Mateo CalTrain station, we have plenty of room for bikes, and free parking passes if you want to drive.

We have had remote developers for a long time, across the country and world. We also allow for working from home as needed for local people (or wherever else you are productive), and tend to strongly encourage people to go home and rest if they look tired or don't feel well.

We offer good pay, great health / dental / vision insurance, unlimited vacation, extremely flexible hours (pretty much be in by 11am if you are local). We have "field trip" lunches on Wednesdays to get the team together and relax, and other days we might walk to the park or somewhere downtown for lunch.

Please email a quick intro and your resume, website, or github to * brianfarr@gmail.com * if you are interested or have any questions.

If you seem like a good possibility, your resume will be seen by my manager and the team this Monday. If not, I will try my best to point you to someplace you are a good fit, or connect you with recruiters I know. Also, if you are new or looking to move to the SF Bay Area and want to talk to someone who did it last year, from the midwest, send me an email too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for the kind words :) For the Blue Card, you can change employers as much as you want because it's attached to the employee rather than the employer. Further, depending on the country, after two or three years, you can then legally take work in any other EEA country (except the UK, Ireland and Denmark, all of whom opted out of the Blue Card program). There are some technicalities involved, but those are the ba…

Interesting. I guess Blue Card is not for freelancers, right? i.e. to just directly apply on my own. Another scenario - I'm a contractor/freelancer working for some non-EU company, but just want to live some period in EU, without changing a job. (Reasons could be e.g. a better school for children, etc..)

It's not for freelancers, no. You can go to Germany and stay up there for up to six months while looking for work, but to get a Blue Card, you have to have a contract with an annual salary attached to it. Your Blue Card is good for the length of the contract plus three months. However, as mentioned, if you stay long enough, you can apply for permanent German residency.

Keep in mind that the German government has been tweaking the Blue Card law, so you probably want to reverify what I've said if you go that route. That being said, I just received a PM on Reddit from someone who moved to Germany after seeing a post I made about the Blue Card and they just got a job offer. They're going to sign and apply for their Blue Card with that contract.

Famo.us

Fulltime in SoMa, San Francisco, CA. No remote.

We're building the equivalent of Cocoa/CocoaTouch/Android SDK for web applications, while also exploring and enabling new concepts in interface design (e.g. stuff like Clear todo app, Yahoo iOS Weather app). Everything we build is HTML5 and Javascript based.

If you are a software developer with a passion for building operating systems, high performance graphics, application frameworks and software engineering tools come join us, because we're working on something big getting attention from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley (although we can't yet say who).

We're series A funded and have plenty of runway and we've got many options on the table that we're beginning to mine so we can extend that runway indefinitely, while we build out our core product(s). We're at 10 people and growing.

Experience with functional programming and especially functional reactive programming is a huge plus. Our main language right now is in JavaScript, because that is what runs in the browser. However, we're still very small and use of only JavaScript isn't set in stone.

To apply email tyler@famo.us
