Ticket Evolution

Location: New York City, New York; Postion: Ruby/JavaScript Engineers; Email: rsosinski@ticketevolution.com

Ticket Evolution builds software and services that handles the real-time execution, clearing and settlement of event ticket trades. If you ever purchased a ticket to a sports game online or called a broker for seats to a concert, chances are our system was used somewhere in between.

We use Ruby on Rails, JavaScript with BackBone and Knockout, and PostgreSQL day-to-day; and are looking for engineers who are comfortable getting out of their comfort-zone.

If you are intersted in learning more, email me directly at rsosinski@ticketevolution.com

SeatGeek -- New York, NY -- Full Time We're a search engine for tickets and live events. Think "Kayak for sports/music/theater tickets."

⇒ Web Engineer -- We're looking for someone who loves building web apps. Everything else (professional experience, where in the stack you fit, the languages you've used) is up for debate. Details here: http://seatgeek.com/jobs/web_engineer/

⇒ Android Developer -- Looking for someone eager to build the Andorid app to accompany an already-successful iOS app. Details here: http://seatgeek.com/jobs/android_developer/

⇒ Designer who also codes a bit -- Don't have a job post (just started looking yesterday). Looking for someone to do lots of visual design work across web and mobile on SeatGeeks site/apps. You'd be responsible for implementing much of your work as well in frontend code. Drop me a line at jack [at sign] seatgeek [d] com.

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US
  
  - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
    In the past few months, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside 
    PhoneGap), Angular.js, Ruby (of course) and a little bit of Java and C#.
  
  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.
  
  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
  
  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit 
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.
A little bit about Grand Rapids:

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.
  
  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA. 
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43
  
  - If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
    you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.
  
  - A growing technology and startup community.
A little bit about you:

  - You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.
  
  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.
  
  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.
  
  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.
If you're interested, send me your resume/CV and a little bit about why you’re interested:

Quovo, FinTech start-up -- NYC, intern/part-time/full-time developer.

We (https://www.quovo.com) are a well-funded financial technology start-up based in New York City. We're a small, fun team dedicated to revolutionizing the investment management industry.

You should have some degree of full-stack experience, but the majority of our application work is front-end-ish, focusing on JavaScript -- in particular jQuery, D3, and Angular.js. Bootstrap and LESS experience is also nice.

Have an eye for design? We care a lot about UI/UX, so artistic types with coding experience are welcome to apply as well.

All levels of experience are welcome to apply, but we'd prefer a more junior level coder who wants to learn and grow with us. We have a very flat organization, which means you'll be working directly with the CTO and founding team.

Please send a detailed resume, with links to past work/code snippets if possible, to info@quovo.com.
