Benefitter (http://www.benefitter.com) - San Francisco, CA

(Full Time/Intern/Remote/H1B)

Join the rest of our team in our well funded 1 year old startup. Benefitter helps companies in the US move to a ACA/Obamacare based benefits package. Turns out that for most people this is a win/win situation.

Engineer positions

- Developer: full-stack with a strong analytics/math background. - QA: Someone to build a 100% automated test system. We're not anywhere close to that now.

We're mostly a Rails and Selenium shop, but could care less if you have that experience. We're working on a big and challenging problem and are looking for great people to join our team. No jerks please.

Preferably Melbourne, Australia, or REMOTE. Full-stack developer (emphasis on front end). Culture Amp http://cultureamp.com

We're a Rails shop, with some Java components, but passion and pragmatism trump technology specifics!

We help companies measure intangibles like employee engagement, manager effectiveness or candidate market sentiments. We've got a rockstar client list - Airbnb, Box, Adobe, Etsy, ModCloth, Pinterest, Disqus and Klout to name a few, and we're growing rapidly. We're still a startup though with less than 10 employees looking to add another 3 right now.

Interested? Check out our hiring page and drop us a line: http://www.cultureamp.com/join_us.html

CodeHS: Software Engineer in San Francisco

CodeHS is a site that helps teach computer science to beginners with a focus on working with high schools. We work with students and schools all over the US and all over the world. Make a big impact on a small team in an exciting space.

See more at http://codehs.com/jobs

We are a company with a social mission, and we believe that we can help make computer science more fun and accessible to high school students. If you are a programmer, but also consider yourself a teacher--or if you love coming up with creative ways to explain things--or if you want to work on a meaningful project instead of programming widgets at the widget factory--then send us an email. You can email me at jkeesh@codehs.com

We're a small team of 4 with funding and a business model and soon to be a lot bigger. We have a monthly team hackathon (and recently had one for 150 students and teachers at Facebook http://facebook.com/codehs ), and are always thinking of ways to make working more fun.

See what students and teachers say about CodeHS: http://codehs.com/testimonials

How We Start Teaching:

We start teaching programming with "Karel the Dog," a dog that lives in a grid world and only knows four commands: move, turnLeft, putBall and takeBall. We use karel to teach that computer science is about problem solving. We start in JavaScript, but use a thin teaching library because we believe in teaching concepts over syntax.

Try it out and let us know what you think at codehs.com.

Our site is built in python, django, JavaScript, and we're on ec2.

CodeHS was recently a winner at NBC's Education Nation and has been featured on the Today Show and a number of other places.

Thanks, and happy new year! Jeremy

Union Square, San Francisco, CA. Full-time. Full-stack Engineer, All Levels.

Red Hot Labs (RHL) is looking for full-stack engineers at all levels that want to work on cutting edge business intelligence & machine-learning tools and services for mobile developers.

=Responsibilities=

    - Write both server and client-side code for massively scalable analytics architectures. 
      (We can teach you this!)
    - Actively learn and work with new technologies. There’s a very good chance 
      you’ll pick up experience with a new language / technology stack here!
    - Collaborate closely with our CEO and the rest of our team to develop 
      products and services with a high quality user-experience. 
    - Architect and own big parts of our infrastructure.

=Your skills=

    - REQUIRED: CS degree or significant experience in a low-level language (C, C++). 
         - We're trying to hire smart folks that have a solid CS foundation.
    - REQUIRED: Prior experience working with either Javascript or Ruby.
    - REQUIRED: Ability to pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.
    - PREFERRED: Prior experience developing business intelligence or analytical tools.

=Why Red Hot Labs=

We’re a small 4-person FUNDED startup founded by the guys who made FarmVille and CityVille. We’re building business intelligence tools and services that we think are missing from the mobile ecosystem. This is not our first startup; our last one was acquired by Zynga and led to them being able to IPO using our core-tech and games.

Our company culture is one built on learning and the belief that everyone is a student and everyone is a teacher. We want to work with folks that inspire us to learn more and do our best work. We invest in our employees and want to help you grow in both your core skill-set and other areas you may be interested in. We can afford to do this while we’re small.

We originally began building mobile games and realized there was a big hole in mobile business intelligence and in bringing together and understanding all of the data that exists out there. We focus on shipping quickly and constantly (our first product was built in 6 weeks with no pre-existing client-side code), so this is a great place to experience shipping multiple products.

We have since shut down the development of games and are focusing 100% on our tools and service products. We still maintain and run the games and use them as test beds for new ideas.

=Perks=

    - WORKCATIONS! We’re a small company so we do unscalable things such as 
      rent a house for the whole team and spend a week working from a Ski-house Tahoe 
      or in a beach-house in Hawaii. 
    - Early-stage startup equity grants
    - Health/Dental/Vision insurance

=Our stack=

    - Redis, Couchbase, Rails for our backend API.
    - Mostly AWS with a little bit of Heroku for our hosting.
    - AngularJS, jQuery, Underscore for our dashboard and web apps.
    - 3rd party services: Facebook, Mixpanel, Stripe, Mailgun
