Smarkets, London, Software Engineer (Python, Erlang & Mobile), QA and Test Automation Engineer, Operations Engineer

Smarkets is disrupting the global betting industry by offering a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £365 million of bets since launching in 2010. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.

We're building a reliable, low-latency exchange system to facilitate automated traded strategies, as well as a fast, modern web interface. Our team constantly works on significant, challenging software engineering problems; if you're fed up of writing yet another boring CMS, we might be able to help. The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques and REST. We make extensive use of version control, configuration management and automated testing, which allows us to reliably deploy code to production several times a day.

Our team builds on a modern, open-source software stack which includes Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Graphite, Chef and Git.

Binpress - http://www.binpress.com/jobs - Mountain View, CA

We are creating a platform for developers to build profitable businesses from working on their open-source projects.

We are still a small team (5 people), and the next few hires will have major impact on our culture and future.

Our most pressing needs right now:

* Head of growth - We need someone with proven past experience in growing users and revenue through multiple acquisition channels to head our growth efforts at the company.

* Content marketer - We're looking for someone who has a knack for creating great content in all media formats, and a track record for exposing that content to the relevant audience.

Positions are ideally onsite, but we will consider very strong applicants for remote work (at least initially - hopefully we can convince you to relocate later :)

Compensation: 70k - 110k + 0.1-1.0% equity, depending on experience and background (salary would also depend on location).

If you are interested in open-source and believe open-source developers should get paid - get in touch! send us a message indicating what position you are interested in and why you would be a good fit, or apply through the link above.
