Courseload, Inc. (http://courseload.com) is looking for two top-notch, self-driven & disciplined developers to help us deliver first-rate online course experience for our users. We have built an excellent team of front- and back-end developers, and want one more of each to join our team.

The front-end position must have experience with MVC frameworks, especially Backbone + Marionette. I am not BSing when I say we've got one of the most insanely talented devs I've ever known leading the charge on our front end right now, and we're looking for someone who can hit the ground running with the technology and our pace.

We are a Health company http://www.oceaninformatics.com/ whose leaders created the openEHR standard, which is slowly taking over the world as the best way to do Health computing.

We have built the oceanEHR platform based on the openEHR standard, and provide this platform to others to build systems, we also build our own products and systems on this platform.

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

We are looking for full-stack engineers, although positions would lean to front (Html + CSS + AngularJS + Javascript + c# + asp.net MVC + DB tech) and rear (c#, core platform code, web services, integration tasks, xslt, messaging protocols, NHibernate, DB tech) - You'll probably end up learning it all over some period. We just want strong engineers who can learn anything.

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

We are a distributed team, with folks in Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, UK That being said, for these development positions we are aiming for folks in Adelaide (will work from an office) or Brisbane (work from home with occasional face 2 face).

- working remotely is hard, please consider if you have the maturity to work unsupervised, and the ability to work in physical solitude without going crazy.

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

What your working week will look like:

- lots of new software development - some support of existing products and systems, bug fixing, enhancements - few meetings

So, if you are voracious learner, an initiative taking developer, likes hard stuff, cares about what they build, then we would love to hear from you.

Cheers,

Adam Webber

I didn't downvote you, but "sorry, no remote work" is a comical restriction for this field, especially for a large organization like Google.

How the hell do you build hardware remotely?

If you're doing firmware/software people can just mail you devkits, proto boards.

Appington (funded startup) - SF Bay area, remote ok. http://www.appington.com/jobs

We help add voice prompts to mobile apps. This leads to a better user experience, increased retention, and has elements of science (measurement, analysis) as well as art (emotion, copywriting) to it.

Generalists are great as we have everything: on device code (Java/Android, ObjC/iOS), AppEngine for the servers, MongoDB, web (Bootstrap, HTML5, Jinja2, jQuery, Flask on server), and various bits in between all working together.

Glad you asked this, it's something we're constantly pondering. Right now the answer is yes, though we don't do it ruthlessly and our overall philosophy is to show that we truly care about everyone involved. We ask the team member if they feel it's appropriate, rather than forcing it. We've actually not lowered someone's salary in this way yet, though it seems sensible that it would happen. The fact is that the livin…

> with the assumption that location truly is a choice and people have chosen to live somewhere cheaper That's a terrible assumption to make. People often live where they do due to obligation to others (family usually). I would never work for a company that would consider cutting salary because they moved to a lower cost area. I also know several people that have quit a job rather than relocate to a lower cost part of…

To be clear, we are agreeing with each other. I think that is an incorrect assumption, too. We consider each case very carefully, and often don't cut the salary (it has happened more that we didn't cut salary).

That said, it is very easy here in the comments to argue how bad it is to cut the salary when someone moves to a cheaper location. However, the flip-side of the same coin is what about when someone moves to a more expensive location? Should we then say "this is the fixed salary and you choose where to live, and if you move somewhere more expensive that is your choice"? I don't think that is fair. So the other side of the coin of "salary goes down if you move somewhere less expensive" is that we increase salary if you move somewhere more expensive. We've done this for people and it is highly appreciated.

Our overall philosophy is that we want to help people to be wherever in the world they can be happiest and most productive. We encourage traveling and we have set ourselves up as a distributed team based around this value.
