ënimai - www.enimai.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, no remote work.

ënimai develops hardware and software that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with computers. ënimai believes technology should be magic. We are looking for extraordinary programmers. Programmers who, true to the spirit, can work with any programming language to solve the problem at hand. Generalists who can become specialists in any field. Experts in fields where we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Algorithms, computer vision, machine learning, math, robotics, ad-hoc wireless & Bluetooth, mobile (iOS/Android) and very low power embedded systems. The team has previously built very successful products at Apple, Amazon/Lab126, Google, HP Labs, NASA, OLPC, etc.

You will be challenged and pushed to your limit. You may have to rewrite your favourite C++ library to work in a system with 8KB RAM or scale it to massively parallel machines. You will be responsible for every bit of memory you allocate and every CPU cycle you burn.

You will be rewarded with better than industry pay and equity. However, the biggest reward will not have dollar figures attached to it. It is the feeling you get doing what you do best and making an impact in this world.

Great resource! I wish I had known about this previously. Can you clarify what is meant by "Top 5 Requested Jobs"?

Those are the unexpired jobs (posted within the last 60 days) that have been clicked the most frequently. I could probably tighten up that wording a bit. :)

Google - Madison, WI. Sorry, no remote work, but Google does sponsor visas. All levels of experience welcome. We've recently hired an ACM fellow, as well as a new college grad. Of course Google is hiring. So, why I posting this? Every time I tell someone I'm working at Google in Madison, they're shocked that there's an office in Madison, and I often hear people complaining about the lack of interesting technical work…

Just had a recruiter from Google contact me. They do pretty often, once a year. I usually tell them I am not interested. This time the guy mentioned they have some interesting work. So I said ok, I'll talk to him. Set up a time. Waiting for the call. Get an email that he can't make it. Ok, reschedule. Set a new time. Get confirmation he would call. No call, no email not anything. I am thinking WTF. I wasn't even the…

Similar experience. Took 4-6 weeks to get a reply to my application email (I'd actually forgotten about it). 4-6 weeks after that (and a few emails from me chasing it up) Google were able to schedule a phone interview. Interviewer was really friendly, and I was pretty excited. Got an email shortly after saying "great that went well, can we fly you to (nearest Google office)". Replied sure - I'm free anytime. 4 weeks later (and a few emails from me chasing it up) and I find out the recruiter has gone on holiday. Another 4 or so weeks later (and more emails from me chasing it up) and I'm told they are having trouble finding someone to interview me for the in-person. Another 2 weeks later I'm finally told the position was filled, but as a promising candidate I should consider applying for other positions.

The idea of working at Google is interesting, but I don't really have the months to invest in the interview process.

UW-Madison produces a ton of computer engineering talent. Cray, Intel and Nvidia all recruit heavily here. Sadly outside the Google office there aren't many local options for grads so they end up in Texas or California, even when they often want to stay in Madison. I've always thought you guys were genius for having an office in town.
