Harvard Center for International Development - Onsite in Cambridge, MA (next to Boston)

https://github.com/cid-harvard/job-descriptions

* UX/UI Developer (VISA) * Web and Data Developers (VISA) * Web Development INTERNS

What we do:

We take real world government data and research, and turn them into interactive data viz tools. The Atlas of Economic Complexity is our current online tool that lets you interactively visualize a country’s trade and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. There are also other National Atlas projects launching soon, one for Colombia and one for Mexico.

Our stack:

We use python, django, mysql (hopefully postgres soon), elasticsearch, ansible for the back end. For the frontend, it's ember / d3 on big national projects, jquery/d3 on atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ and WebGL with Three.js on some 3d projects that we’ve launched such as globe.cid.harvard.edu/ Everything we do is open source: https://github.com/cid-harvard

Demo of the current atlas:

An example of how the atlas is useful take this story here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/21/world/europe/h...

Last year the EU placed sanctions on sales of oil equipment, but not on oil imports. Why could this be? Almost 70% of russia's exports are petrol products: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/all...

And Russia exports the overwhelming majority of its petroleum products to Europe:

http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho...

The big blue chunk is europe, meaning a sanction would really hurt Russia. However, when you look at who else the EU could buy from, the situation is grim: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/net_export/sho...

There’s practically no one who’s a real political ally that Europe could depend on, save for Norway. It’s interesting how it’s practically impossible to buy oil from a country that’s relatively stable and doing well on the HDI front.

It’s worse if you consider the cost of transporting it, and how close Russia is:

http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/map/net_export/show/all...

Which probably explains why EU hasn't placed sanctions on oil imports from Russia.

LiquidTalent | ONSITE in NYC

LiquidTalent allows you to click a button and request a phone call with hiring companies (both contract and full-time).

Hirers need to respond within 15 minutes or else the request expries, and you'll know what they decide in that time.

We're looking for a senior Rails dev to help us build out more powerful search and discovery features on our platform. You'd be working with the engineer lead (Rails dev), 1 other junior Rails dev, 1 senior Angular dev, and 1 Swift dev.

We're a super early startup with seed funding. It's an amazing time to join, as you'll have a lot of autonomy, and you'll have a good amount of control over the direction of the product. Every week is a completely different experience.

If any of this sounds interesting, contact me at ken {at} liquidtalent {dot} com

London, United Kingdom | ONSITE | Osper - https://osper.com

We provide a real prepaid debit card for young people aged 8-18 so they can make their own decisions with money: in shops, online, at cash machines, and abroad. Over 10,000 families have already signed up to the service and we will be growing enormously this year.

But we not only help young people buy dolls and save for bicycles - we are building an awesome technology team that eliminates legacy code, keeps the bug rate tiny, and stays small and joyful. We are doing this by adopting techniques like pair programming, test-driven development, and continuous deployment. You can read more about our plan to be awesome on our tech blog http://tech.osper.io. We want to meet and work with smart technical folks of all sorts - from server-side devs to sysadmins, mobile coders to testers, security analysts to data crunchers. Our tech stack is mostly python and postgresql on the backend and Cordova for the smartphone app.

We're also looking to fill quite a few non-engineering roles at the moment: https://osper.com/jobs/

We are willing to arrange relocation to London for the right candidates.

I'm a backend developer at Osper and it's awesome. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
