OPOWER: Green start up that's beginning to mature. It's a great place for nerds that value work life balance and want to work on software that makes the world a better place. http://opowerjobs.com/engineering SF & DC offices (both in excellent location, btw) Java, Ruby, Scala, Mysql, Javascript, HTML5 H1Bs welcome.

Interesting you mention work life balance. When I interviewed with OPower in fall of '09, I was told engineers put in somewhere around 60 hours/wk...

That's the "starting to mature" part. The hours are not 9 to 5, but much more normal than they had been.

Conshohocken, PA - Monetate We have fun problems at scale - real-time decision making plus web scale data. We have hired people from HN before and are always looking to meet new people.

Do you accept interns without CS degrees? I hope you do-- I've heard a lot of great things about Monetate.

We do - we don't have degree requirements for anyone.

Rally Software (AgileZen Team) - Generalist engineer

This might look familiar, since we posted a similar opening last month. (We actually filled that opening via Hacker News!) This is a new position, similar to the previous one -- we're looking for someone very strong in and passionate about UI/UX work.

Our app is a SaaS project management system that makes it easy for users to visualize their work. While Rally's primary business is enterprise software, AgileZen's customers are primarily small teams and startups.

We started as a two-founder startup in Ohio in 2009 and were acquired by Rally in 2010. We're now a team of five with intentions of expanding to seven by the end of the year. We think and act very much like a startup, report to the CTO, and operate with relative autonomy within the company.

Experience in any development ecosystem (.NET, Java, Ruby, Python) is great, but JavaScript knowledge is a major plus. Our frontend is a whole bunch of JavaScript and CoffeeScript, and we're exploring doing more with Node.JS on the backend. We like people who are good at lots of things, and excellent at a few.

Menlo Park, CA. Looking for Engineer/ technical co-founder.

ShoppTag - shopptag.com

We are: ShoppTag. ShoppTag is a SLOMO (social/local/mobile) commerce platform. We’re doing some very interesting things—technically and businessly. We’re Greg, Umair, Dave. Greg is a successful CEO/ serial entrepreneur (builder of 2-time “Inc 5000” company, etc.) with a clear vision and super leadership skills. Umair is a brilliant Product Manager who’s getting our MVP out the door, so people can actually see what we’re doing. Dave is our web guy. He’s ultra smart too.

We won 1st Place at Lean Startup Boston challenge, in March 2011.

We’re focused on “mobile consumer retail commerce”, because it’s the biggest market anywhere. The opportunity for mobile retail makes us downright giddy. And our technology plans are so exciting, you’ll say, “wow, that’s really cool, can I get involved too?” Yes, and if you join us now, you’ll get a good chunk of equity ownership also.

We have lots of investor interest and we’re currently raising capital (Series A) to build out our platform & team.

You are: A rockstar engineer, co-founder caliber. You see the potential for mobile (ie, it’s not just a phone dummy, it’s the personal sensor for the offline world, capturing all sorts of really valuable data). You’re equally bright, highly motivated, idea-driven. And you know how to get things done. You’re ready to do something big. You want to develop super interesting technology. You want to be part of an A-level team. And you eventually want to make a sh*tload of money.

Big ideas, big technology, big money potential. What more could an engineer ask?

Send Greg an email at: tapperg@gmail.com . Tell us something interesting about yourself.

I think you underestimate the cultural requirement for remote work, which any company not founded by UNIX geeks who grew up on IRC won't have. We're not that company. We've been around for fifteen years, and the doctors, writers, artists and designers who don't like working that way substantially outnumber the Windows desktop-centric and video game console developers, few of whom are likely comfortable with a termina…

Are the positions only available for US citizens/residents? I'm basically what you're after (senior java dev with 10+ years experience), but I'm British.

We do occasionally procure visas. Apply and find out? :)
