Evanston, IL

Leapfrog Online is looking for a talented Chicago-area Python engineer to work in our Evanston office. Our Python engineers build and maintain high-traffic web sites using the Django web framework. We offer a great working atmosphere, a strong focus on work-life balance, and tremendous opportunities to learn new skills and technologies. We also have competitive salaries and benefits and close-knit teams who like what they do.

As we principally focus on the web, we look for real-world experience using Python application frameworks (such as Django) to build high-traffic web sites and applications. Experience with other languages is welcome. What are the extras we look for? Experience producing and consuming web services (SOAP, REST, XML-RPC); experience working with message-oriented systems (AMQP or other message, pub-sub and task queues such as Celery); deep knowledge of version control systems (especially Mercurial or Git); an interest in non-RDBMS data stores (CouchDB, MongoDB, Redis); knowing what it really means to develop RESTful applications; and, experience with functional and declarative programming models in addition to object-oriented development.

If you're a bright, self-motivated engineer who enjoys using open source software to solve interesting problems, you’re our kind of programmer, and we’d like to talk to you. You can apply on our site, where you'll also find full job descriptions and information about Leapfrog Online: http://www.leapfrogonline.com/who/careers/

Dallas / Austin / REMOTE / Relocate possible

projekt202

Job Title: Full time consultant - Senior .NET Developer / Architect

projekt202 is a small but growing full-service consulting company that combines deep design expertise, a focus on user experience, and a proven technology focus. We integrate applications, human processes, and secure, scalable technology platforms for emotionally rich and intuitive user solutions.

We are looking for senior level .NET consultants who are interested in collaborating with our design and user experience experts to deliver compelling applications. We have worked for clients you have heard of and on products you probably own. The ideal candidate would conscientiously apply their mastery of .NET to ensure our clients receive applications that are both beautiful and functional inside and out.

Things we like: MVC, LINQ, IoC / DI, Agile, Continuous Integration

Though we're looking for C# / .NET experts, we also do work in other languages (Ruby, Python, Java for Android, ObjectiveC for iOS), so interest or familiarity with any of those is appreciated.

Remote work is a possibility, as is relocation to Dallas or Austin (where are main offices are). Unlike many other consulting companies, we try to work from our offices rather than the client site so we get an opportunity to actually interact with each other. We provide small benefits like snacks and drinks and larger ones like really good health insurance that is mostly company paid. If you are interested, email your resume to join@capturaonline.com (Captura and projekt202 recently merged and we're working on the technology migration)

San Francisco, CA

Academia.edu is a platform for sharing research. Fundamentally we are trying to massively speed up the rate at which research whizzes around the world. For people who have just published a paper, we want that paper instantly to get into the hands of people who are interested in it. It often takes 12-24 months for a paper to get through the journal publication cycle, and to get distributed to the relevant research community. We believe that this is a large inefficiency in the research process, and we believe that there is an opportunity to make a huge impact here. We want to bring the time it takes for a paper to be distributed around a given research community down from 12-24 months down to a matter of hours.

Right now we have over 600,000 academics signed up, with about 2,000 joining each day. Our monthly uniques are over 2 million. We have about 700,000 papers, with about 80,000 new papers being added per month.

Amongst other technologies, we work with Rails, Redis, MongoDB, Beanstalkd, Varnish, Solr, PostgreSQL, Node.js and Memcached.

We're a small team of 7 people in San Francisco, backed by venture capital (Spark Ventures) and angel investors (Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, and Rupert Pennant-Rea, Chairman of the Economist, amongst others). We have a very engineering-focused culture. You can read more about our culture here http://academia.edu/hiring/culture and here http://academia.edu/hiring.

We have a very collaborative culture, where everyone discusses everything going on with the company: engineering, product, revenue, user growth, recruiting. We think that building a successful startup is hard enough that we need to leverage everyone's brain power.

We're very happy to handle the H1B application process for foreign applicants. Interns are also welcome to apply; we have an intern program detailed at http://academia.edu/hiring. For anyone interested to learn more, feel free to email me directly at richard [at] academia.edu
