San Francisco: product generalists and systems generalists. What we do: subscription based social hyperlocal mobile gamified dating discovery engine with loyalty coupons. For the enterprise. Just kidding. We're a stealthy team of technical generalists filling a hole in the universe by building software that enriches the human experience. Everyone on our team codes and contributes on every level, front to back. We've…

This might be a stupid question, but does the product generalist position require you to code? Or is it more on a product manager role?

Hi Andy, all of us are contributing code and product generalists need to be able to build what they design.

Twilio: Senior/Junior Mobile Developers

We're looking for 2-3 mobile developers (probably 2 senior, 1 junior-ish) to help continue building our Twilio Client SDKs for iOS and Android (http://www.twilio.com/client/mobile). Experience with both platforms is a plus, but even if you've only done one, as long as you're interested in dabbling with the other, that's great too.

If you've done more than high-level app development (networking, audio, JNI on Android, or have dug into platform internals), even better.

Drop me an email at (kelnos | twilio - com) or apply at http://www.jobscore.com/jobs/twilio/senior-mobile-engineer/a...

WhiteHat Security: https://www.whitehatsec.com

We help secure the interwebs by telling our customers how their websites are vulnerable. We do automated black box testing of websites, workflow for our internal analysts, source code analysis, integration with popular security products and services, and (of course) UI and API so our customers can actually use the information we provide.

We're looking for smart people who aren't ideologically opposed to perl application development. Also programming language and framework experts. Also QA automation people. And we would like to train some interns to design and build RESTful APIs.

For more information you can poke at our website or email me ( dgc at whitehatsec dot com ).

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.

Downtown Los Angeles, Full Time, software developers and designers.

NationBuilder is a Community Organising System.

All the great positive changes in society have been driven by the millenia-old art of Community Organising. Moses, Martin Luther King Jr and Ghandi were Community Organisers.

The Internet provides the sheer reach to grow new movements faster than before, but the tools have been difficult to integrate and use, or they have been directed towards throwing animated cows rather than bringing people together to solve problems.

NationBuilder seeks to bring the power of community organising to the web for the lowest possible price so that grass-roots leaders can assemble followers in real-time, at scale, to create positive social change at a pace and scale that has never been seen before. Fundamentally, it brings together your web site, social integration, communications, and CRM in one place.

We are already changing US politics, but that is just the beginning. We seek to empower everyone in the world who wants to be a leader to build their community, whether they're a film-maker, a blogger, a grandma, a political dissident, a small business owner, or all of the above.

To do this, we have assembled a world-class team of Ruby on Rails hackers. Everyone is a full-stack developer and committed to the highest possible standards of excellence. Unlike everyone else in this space, we are fundamentally a tech company - not a consultancy, a think-tank, or the tech wing of a political party.

We practice continuous deployment. Committed code can be pushed to production in less than 5 minutes - and that INCLUDES running the full test suite on our CI platform.

We practice promiscuous pairing. You will be working directly with great people who know the product inside and out.

You will be using the latest Retina Macbook Pro or Macbook Air, working in one of the coolest spaces in Downtown LA with access to the best restaurants, arts, culture and weather in the US. The cost of living is low and the lifestyle is great. There is an epic 2-level restaurant/bar on our roof.

We have a real product with thousands of customers, yet our tech team is just 11 people. Anyone who joins today will have a massive influence on the product and market.

Our recent Series A was led by Andreessen Horowitz and Sean Parker, and angel investors include Chris Hughes. Sean Parker and Ben Horowitz are on our board, and our co-founders Jim Gilliam and Jesse Haff built Brave New Films and took on the Iraq War and Walmart while creating an entirely new model of film financing and distribution.

If all this sounds interesting, get in touch. Check out http://nationbuilder.com/jobs and then email jobs@nationbuilder.com.

Thanks,

Dan Walmsley

VP of Engineering, NationBuilder.com
