Intrans

Ruby Engineers, Android

The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Intrans is here to change that by deploying the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping.

Over $30 billion dollars a month is spent trucking freight around the US. Without trucks, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry today still runs on phones and fax machines. This means hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight capacity goes unfilled every month due to the old-school inefficiencies of the industry.

We are changing that. We use our location-based technology to automatically match supply and demand.

If you're ready to transform the trucking industry, send your resume and GitHub profile to jobs@intrans.com.

Our technology stack includes Android applications (Java) a rich Coffeescript and AngularJS front end and a service oriented architecture using the Play framework (Java / Scala).

We're growing fast and we're looking for developers with an eye for elegance and simplicity, who appreciate good software design and who want to get involved in solving lots of challenging problems. If you're interested, send me an email: jbarker@amplify.com or take a look at our careers page: http://amplify.com/careers

New Relic - Portland OR/Seattle WA/San Francisco CA (http://newrelic.com/jobs)

We make the best application performance monitoring solution, and deliver the only serious SaaS APM. >40K users can't be wrong. It gives deep visibility in production apps running on Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, and .NET (with more on the way) -- AND provides an open platform with which you can integrate customized plugins to monitor your entire stack (newrelic.com/platform) .

Making it easy for our users, however, is hard work for us. Our answer is to hire top notch people, give them whatever they need, and turn them loose to solve tough problems.

We're looking for a number of technical positions (check out the Jobs page), including engineers with skills in Ruby, Node, Python, C, PHP, .NET (to name a few). H1-Bs and relos welcome.

We also take our company culture seriously -- Best Place to Work and all that, of course. But we also provide an unusual and exciting development environment, one where managers are working to enable developers, not the other way around.

Simple Energy

Djagno Engineers, DevOps Engineers.

Simple Energy uses social game mechanics to change how people save energy and how utilities engage customers. They make saving energy “social, fun and simple.”

By engaging people on the platforms they already use, including email, Facebook, web, and mobile applications, and making energy usage data into a simple scoring system that allows people to compete with their friends and neighbors online, Simple Energy motivates people to become interested in their own energy use and take action to reduce consumption. The system is based on leading behavioral economics and game mechanics research by scientific advisor Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality. Results from a recent pilot program show that the platform can produce an average energy savings of 20% with up to 50% in savings for top performers.
