London, UK. Full time lead web application developer.

Podaris is a funded startup that will change the way cities are designed. We're creating an online collaborative planning and design platform for next-generation Automated Transit Networks. Think TinkerCAD for future transport systems. Yes, there's a market for this: we've received our first seed investment and will soon receive more. I honestly don't think there's a more exciting use for Javascript on the planet.

I'm looking for a technical co-founder / CTO / lead developer. Job description and more can be found at http://www.podaris.com/

Unfortunately, as a startup, it is difficult for us to accommodate international relocations, so you must be an EU citizen or have a valid UK work permit.

AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay. AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets. We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything. We design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers wh…

Still haven't decided about REMOTE? I mean, you're looking for those `one or two engineers` for a couple of years now.

We're a small team, and we prefer that everyone be in the same place most of the time.

Interesting. We interviewed a Google SRE and he said that what I described was nothing like the job he was doing. I think one big difference is that at Netflix the SRE doesn't block deployments or roll them back. We leave that up to the teams.

"Neutered SRE", then. ;) Or, "Reliability Ombudsman".

Hah! More like "respectful of the ability of our coworkers"

> Or, "Reliability Ombudsman".

I like this one. Might just use it.

One thing that is interesting with these "always hiring" shops - Do you have a high turnover or do you constantly extend the office space?

It typically means they're always willing to hire, provided the fit is right.

The specific technical answer in our case is: if we have a headcount cap, I don't know what it is.

I can appreciate "respect". Just don't fire the poor SOB when the service goes down because the people he works with ignored his warnings.

Python Engineer - Philadelphia, PA - Relocation Assistance Provided. 50onRed operates a premium ad network and serves over billions of online ad impressions each month.

Front-End Developer - Philadelphia, PA - 50onRed - Relocation Assistance Provided

For anyone that sees this, I also work at 50onRed as the Director of Product and am hiring someone for my team.

As Wellington said, 50onRed operates an ad network that serves billions of requests per day. To support those operations we also build dashboard and campaign management interfaces that are used by 1,000's of advertisers.

One unique thing we have to offer at 50onRed is that the product team is given a lot of freedom to drive the product based on customer needs, feedback, and data we collect on usage and engagement. And it's not just lip service! So, with that being said, the product team houses product managers, community managers, UX engineers, and now we are looking for a front-end developer.

Why is it cool to be on the product team? If you have a strong opinion on something the product should do, you no longer need to worry about your boss in engineering telling you no because it's a PITA due to some backend reasons. Now, the product team will have your back and work on getting any changes implemented to get what you need done.

What will the front-end developer do? You will be an EXPERT in javascript, html, and css. And not building simple jQuery toggles or copy pasting some code from stackoverflow. Our dashboards are moving quickly towards being more "AJAX-y". To help with the amount of JS, we are creating re-usable javascript widgets that can be used across different parts of the app. You should understand the implications of different JS decisions on browser performance, flexibility of how the widget can be used in different scenarious, etc. You can take a mockup from our UX Engineer (that was created after discussions with you, of course) and code it up with ease.

Why 50? Because you want to make decisions that impact 1,000's of customers in your first week. We push code frequently and test how it's used by our customers. We get feedback from our customers instantly. You want to take ownership and drive a product to be better. Do you think we should be a one page web app and use Angular? Great, sell us on it and let's do it. You think Prototype is 100x better than jQuery? Ok, then sell us on that instead. (Might be hard!) But... the point is that we are open to using any technology that is right for the job as long as it is the right business decision. No emotional attachments to code.

Email frank@50onred.com, I'd love to talk to you if you think you'd be a good fit.
