Eugene, Oregon - fulltime - noremote - H1B applicants welcome

On Time Systems is a small company that specializes in solving large-scale search and optimization problems. We used to be a research lab at the University of Oregon, but we are now more focused on writing software than writing grant proposals. We're currently looking for software engineers to work on Green Driver (a smartphone app that uses real-time data from traffic signals to help drivers find the fastest route (http://imagreendriver.com)) and ACFP (Advanced Computer Flight Planning), the flight planning system used by the US Air Force for routing cargo planes and tankers worldwide.

Although our core IP is in optimization, bringing these solutions to market requires complex client-server applications with challenging network, user interface, and database components. We have code written in Python, Java, C, C++, Objective-C, and other languages. An ideal candidate will have a strong background in algorithms and will be comfortable writing both high-level and low-level code.

Benefits include: medical and disability insurance, 401Ks with matching, sabbaticals, massages, a game room (ping pong, billiards, DDR, etc.), relocation package, pick your own hardware, your own office with a window, tuition reimbursement (including flight school if you work on our flight planning software), exercise equipment and locker room, and his and hers company bikes.

The work environment is friendly, informal, and intellectual.

Seattle (or San Francisco) - Product/UX Designer

Picture of Health makes tools that help people take care of their loved ones. We are well-funded, self-funded, pre-launch, and small (4 in Seattle, 2 in SF). This is an opportunity to be in the first wave and help define how we do things.

We're looking for a product designer who will own design for our web and device software products. We're building consumer services, and having the right design will be critical to our success. This person needs to make sure our products are simple, usable, and successful at solving problems for people. We're primarily looking for interaction design skills, but visual design ability and/or front-end prototyping ability would of course be a plus.

The current dev team is me plus three former Hashrocketeers in downtown Seattle. Our stack is Rails; our process is story-based, test-driven, and design-respectful. (We'd love to hear from great developers as well if you're interested -- see http://vurl.me/AZHL)

We'd prefer to keep the dev/design team in Seattle for now, but we could bend this rule for an exceptional person who wants to be in SF.

Misc. company facts: My co-founder used to be CEO of Sun Microsystems. We have competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Our Seattle office is in the South Lake Union area. Dogs are welcome. (More facts on request.)

San Francisco, CA Help build the most popular mobile apps for the cruise vacation industry. Before you dismiss this as fluff with no technical challenges check out what we're working on. We are associating tens of thousands of Facebook ids with booked cruises across all cruise lines. Besides the obvious chat features (which will be available with the next updates) we want to let cruisers know who in their social grap…

Don't discount yourself for not being "technical enough". A lot of technical people get caught up in the shiny neat-o technology and forget to build a business.

It sounds like you're profitable and have a business so they're nothing to be embarrassed about.

anywhere - any level of commitment : discopedia

discopedia is applying the massive amounts of rich, human-written, structured data to two huge problems: 1) social search 2) web search

We are still very early stage, pre-funding, and lean and mean! But we are driven by the desire to do something big. Really BIG, with Wikipedia.
