New York, NY - Software Engineer - Fulltime

Canvas (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future.

The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer".

Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job.

You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.

Washington, DC - Fulltime - US House of Representatives http://house.gov/content/jobs/vacancyDetails.php?PositionID=...

The job posting is a little ambiguous; we really just need a smart developer that integrates well with the team. We have a ton of small projects going on in a variety of technology stacks so its hard coming up with a concise job position.

While I admit the company is pretty much the opposite of a startup, the job is very rewarding and there is a huge potential to create value with your work. I'm a developer there; message me if you have any questions.

Denver, CO - Director of Mobile Product - Mapquest

Mapquest is hiring for a variety of roles, but the primary one is a Mobile Czar to handle product direction and development for our mobile products.

We're in the last stages of bringing in a new product team that's focusing more on the ? of "What do we do with the fact that we know where millions of people are trying to go every month?" We're working on a new product (Mapquest Vibe - beta launched at SxSW) and you'd be a major player in the direction that the mobile version took. You'll be talking with users to get impressions on UX, writing press releases, and actually doing development work on the app. It's an exciting opportunity to work on a brand name and try to steer it in a new direction.

Let me know if you're interested at the e-mail in my profile and I'll be in touch!
