Stealth mobile startup in LOS ANGELES (Santa Monica/Venice, CA) (REMOTE might work)

iOS Developer / CTO

I'm a guy who's last project was funded by Elon Musk and featured on Bloomberg, Good Morning America, Business Insider, and most of the tech press, and I'm now looking for an iOS developer to serve as CTO (and, optionally, co-founder) for my next startup.

You'd be joining me in working together on an awesome opportunity to build something big and have a huge impact. (This is my third startup -- I was on the founding team of Hotline, whose chat software was used by millions of people (even Dave Morin told me he was a "huge" Hotline user) and by companies like Apple; the Toronto Star called it "a major force in the online world" at the time.)

Now, I'm working on a mobile startup launching first on iOS and we're looking for an awesome iOS developer. We're stealth and I can't reveal details publicly because we're required to be under the radar while being considered for launching publicly at a major tech conference in SF attended by 8,000 people, but contact me if you're an iOS developer and I can send you more details, and we can talk!

CONTACT: dcm@davidcmurphy.me (a brief note & link to your online profiles (LinkedIn/GitHub/etc) (or just sending a resume) is fine -- we emphasize speed over makework!)

PS: my thesis in college was literally about companies that treat workers well. I really care about being a great guy to work with, and think this will be a really awesome opportunity. :)

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle) - http://climate.com/careers

The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide real-time pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance to farmers in the United States.

Climate's technical staff numbers around 80, and we're hiring full-time employees and interns across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of decision support tools for growers (see http://goo.gl/e2uu9v). Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:

1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into compelling products.

The scale and interdiscplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very important problems.

Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are here: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=o7B8Wfww&s=hackernews

I write Clojure for a small scientific software engineering team building Climate's agricultural yield models. If you're interested or have any questions, send me an email at bmookerji@climate.com with [dec2013-hn] in the subject heading.

VideoLabs - Paris, France http://www.videolabs.io/ http://videolan.org/

Go developer, C/C++ developer, frontend developer.

We are a team of developers of VLC media player, and we are developing a few media services around VLC and VideoLAN. Most of the projects are not yet public though.

We use Go, Redis, Riak, ElasticSearch in the backend and we are probably going to use Angular (or a similar framework) for the frontend.

We also do some C, Obj-C, Java and C# development for VLC on iOS/Android/WP, and that code is always open sourced.

We would prefer people in Paris for the Go and Frontend developers, but we're open to other options. For the other positions, remote is fine.

Contact me by email: jb@videolan.org

Rentify - London, UK We're on a mission to kill off high street letting agents and all the things they stand for: high fees, tenant rip-offs, and subscale economics. We're backed by world class investors (Balderton Capital) and have a senior leadership team comprised of bright minds from Uber, Eventbrite, NBC/Universal, Apple, and Zopa. This time last year our team was 4 people. Now it's 25. We're aiming to be 50 by…

A word of caution regarding Rentify: I had some email correspondence with their CTO, Buff, last year when they had previously advertised on a "Who is hiring?" thread here, as I was then looking for something new in London.

They asked me to complete a coding exercise, which I spent a Saturday afternoon doing ( https://github.com/jasonl/property_search )and submitted it to them, and then I did not hear back - not so much as a single email reply! - despite repeated follow-ups.

If you're a Rails coder in London, you can definitely do better than a company that treats prospective employees as disdainfully as this.

Union Square, San Francisco, CA. Full-time. Full-stack Engineer, All Levels.

Red Hot Labs (RHL) is looking for full-stack engineers at all levels that want to work on cutting edge business intelligence & machine-learning tools and services for mobile developers.

=Responsibilities=

    - Write both server and client-side code for massively scalable analytics architectures. 
      (We can teach you this!)
    - Actively learn and work with new technologies. There’s a very good chance 
      you’ll pick up experience with a new language / technology stack here!
    - Collaborate closely with our CEO and the rest of our team to develop 
      products and services with a high quality user-experience. 
    - Architect and own big parts of our infrastructure.
=Your skills=

    - REQUIRED: CS degree or significant experience in a low-level language (C, C++). 
         - We're trying to hire smart folks that have a solid CS foundation.
    - REQUIRED: Prior experience working with either Javascript or Ruby.
    - REQUIRED: Ability to pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.
    - PREFERRED: Prior experience developing business intelligence or analytical tools.
=Why Red Hot Labs=

We’re a small 4-person FUNDED startup founded by the guys who made FarmVille and CityVille. We’re building business intelligence tools and services that we think are missing from the mobile ecosystem. This is not our first startup; our last one was acquired by Zynga and led to them being able to IPO using our core-tech and games.

Our company culture is one built on learning and the belief that everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. We want to work with folks that inspire us to learn more and do our best work. We invest in our employees and want to help you grow in both your core skill-set and other areas you may be interested in. We can afford to do this while we’re small.

We originally began building mobile games and realized there was a big hole in mobile business intelligence and in bringing together and understanding all of the data that exists out there. We focus on shipping quickly and constantly (our first product was built in 6 weeks with no pre-existing client-side code), so this is a great place to experience shipping multiple products.

We have since shut down the development of games and are focusing 100% on our tools and service products. We still maintain and run the games and use them as test beds for new ideas.

=Perks=

    - WORKCATIONS! We’re a small company so we do unscalable things such as 
      rent a house for the whole team and spend a week working from a Ski-house Tahoe 
      or in a beach-house in Hawaii. 
    - Early-stage startup equity grants
    - Health/Dental/Vision insurance
=Our stack=

    - Redis, Couchbase, Rails for our backend API.
    - Mostly AWS with a little bit of Heroku for our hosting.
    - AngularJS, jQuery, Underscore for our dashboard and web apps.
    - 3rd party services: Facebook, Mixpanel, Stripe, Mailgun
=Relevant press=
