Communication services and the Service Providers play an important role on our daily lives. But the fact is most of us hate dealing with our telco service provider. We think that’s crazy and needs to change.

Starting with the retail store touch point, Push Science is empowering front line agents to deliver exceptional customer experience using mobile software tools for sales and customer care. Our patented technologies allow agents to connect with customers and provide service in brand new ways.

We think that dealing with your telco (or any other service provider) should be a pleasure and delight. We’re looking for passionate designers and engineers that can make this possible.

Our technology: Cloud based backend running on Ruby on Rails, Rails 4, Active Model Serializers, Postgres. Frontend Angular JS, Cordova. We develop and maintain a RESTful JSON API that powers our application at multiple touch-points. Developing new systems for real-time asynchronous communication. Writing libraries to integrate with external systems.

We use an agile scrum process with 2-week sprints. Our team of 10 people includes designers, engineers, business development, and a stellar batch of telco advisors. Our office is located on King and Bathurst in the heart of Toronto’s entertainment and fashion district.

About Us: MeetMe is the leading social network for meeting new people in the US with over 1 million DAU. We've been around since 2005 as myYearbook, rebranding in 2012 as MeetMe. We've launched other apps such as Choosy, Charm, and Unsaid in the past few months, and are looking to continue adding more standalone apps in the future.

We use a wide variety of languages, generally using what makes sense. C, PHP, Python, JavaScript and Node.js, and native iOS and Android development are the most common.

MeetMe is a fun place to work. We hold a yearly developer retreat, as well as regular company-wide hackathons. We have a book club, board game club, and we even have a game room. While we aren't a new company in the time scale of the internet, we still know how to have fun. We just get the benefit of not having to kill ourselves working 12 hour days. =) This means you'll enjoy actually going home on time! We have many openings, both technical and non-technical. Here is a list of positions we are usually always looking for.

* Senior Web Developer

* Senior Android Developer

* Software iOS Developer

* Network Engineer

Or you can contact me at jlotito@meetme.com. I'm a developer, so feel free to ask specific developer-type questions

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Here's a testimonial we received last wweek:

==================================

I just want to thank you soooo very much in high school it was very hard for me and I hated studying also even thou my mother told me it would help me I never listened and now I am in college and this website helps me so much with algebra/health and so much more when I start working again I want to give back to you for helping me out in college and becoming a Doctor because you can never say never :)

==================================

Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our free, high-quality educational content. Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.

You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.

We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers.

Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at alpert+HN@khanacademy.org if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.

We believe our technology will fundamentally change how we interact with computers and our environment. We have built the first and only pixel accurate gestural control device, and we are just getting started. Imagine walking into a living room turning the lights down, adjusting the thermostat and searching for your favorite show on your TV with just subtle movements of your finger.

Yourself: Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be hacking on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals. For what we do, Google may not have all the answers to your questions, github may not have any such sample code and Stackoverflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies, but you will be responsible for solving the problem.

Team: ex-(Apple, Facebook, Google, Jawbone, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS) from MIT, Stanford, CMU etc.

Along with incredibly smart engineers we are also looking for a world class Product Manager who can work with the incredibly smart engineers while also being laser sharp focused on execution.
