Academia.edu, San Francisco, CA Academia.edu is trying to improve the way that scientific publishing works. Here is the current way it works. A scientist does some experiments and writes up a paper. He sends it to a journal who sends it out to two or three peer reviewers. They peer review it, which means writing a page of comments on it, and recommending either accepting or rejecting it. Usually you get a few journal…

Note to people applying: I wouldn't hold your breath for a response. in 2013, Academia.edu came to my school and agreed to an on campus interview, and never actually contacted me for the time of the interview (cancelled my classes all day too :/). I also emailed Ben, who posted at a previous "Who is Hiring" thread with no response.

  KickBack Rewards Systems

  http://careers.kickbacksystems.com
I'm a senior manager at KRS. We're a bootstrapped and profitable start-up. We're building a nation-wide coalition loyalty program and already have thousands of clients and thousands of locations on the program. Our clients include a half-dozen Fortune 50 companies - one that is an anchor partner in our coalition loyalty program. As the Director of Software Development I need some help! You will be joining a medium sized team of 11 developers. If you are interested in any of these positions my contact information is under my profile.

Data Scientist

We are looking for a world-class data scientist to get in to the minds of our customers. Your job will be to analyze our "large" data-sets, identify patterns, determine consumer sentiment and provide them with incredible offer. Looking for someone with extensive programming and modeling experience using the Hadoop ecosystem. At KickBack you will research and implement new scalable learning algorithms and data mining techniques including sequential data models, variable discretization, feature extraction, selection, and construction. Machine learning a plus. We're looking for an expert someone we would consider a "game changer" and are paying accordingly.

Back-end Developer

We're looking for a pro that can create scalable back-ends. Message queues, concurrency and fault tolerance should be second-nature to you.

Front-end Developer

We're looking for an expert in Angular whom can pair with our aforementioned world-class back-end developer. Heck, if you aren't an angular pro, anyone with amazing front-end skills will do, you can pick-up our framework or suggest a better one as you work in to the role. UX skills a plus. Like any start-up, we're big on usability.

Mobile Developer

We're looking for two mobile developers. We have a specific vision for our mobile platform and have already moved past html5 interfaces to native applications to improve performance.

DevOps

(Multiple positions) We're looking for a Hadoop cluster administrator and an overall DevOps engineer proficient in Chef, Celery, Message Queues, Networking, BGP AnyCast, etc. We'll always train the right candidate so junior developers and candidates fresh out of a university are welcome to apply. Thanks!

Cupertino ---> Commit code your first week as an Android developer

* Remote-collaboration is an extremely important part of our culture. Most of the dev team is remote.

* H1B candidates are ok

* Interns welcome!

We are the team behind Mokriya Craigslist. Time, Wall Street Journal, Mashable, Xconomy, and a slew of tech bloggers raved about it. Check it out. http://craigslist.mokriya.com/

We are a team of engineers, UX designers, and thinkers. We have worked for some of the hottest tech startups in Silicon Valley, including Path, MixPanel, Threadflip, SimpleGeo, SideCar, etc.

Google has us on a list of “best mobile development teams in the country” so we get calls from them too.

About You

You love to build. When you’re not at your job, you’re probably tinkering on some contraption in the basement or figuring out how to take apart . You get a thrill from figuring out a clever way to solve a problem. And you really take pride in knowing the ins and outs of Android. You should be familiar with the libraries so that you know the best ways to do things without re-inventing the wheel.

About How We Work

Every developer on the team is remote, so we just get stuff done, from wherever, and chat via HipChat/GitHub to communicate. That, and the occasional G+ Hangout, is all we’ve found to be necessary.

Send a note to careers@mokriya.com (I'll see it, I'm Adam. Sunil & Pranil, the technical co-founders, will see it also). Say hi, tell us a bit about yourself. We'll be most excited if you tell us about recent projects you've built, and technical details that you learned, or that interested you.
