Expensify-San Francisco, CA-Fulltime, Programmer Extraordinaire Hey there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Expensify and we do "expense reports that don't suck!" (Google "expensify" to read more.) We're getting crushed under an ever-growing pile of super awesome work, and I need one bright soul to help us dig our way out.

> every year we take the company overseas for a month (on your own dime, sorry) and work incredibly hard while having a ton of fun. "On your own dime" sounds terrible. Is it optional?

it's terribly ironic that a company that facilitates reimbursements doesn't reimburse for travel on behalf of the company :P

Counterparty - REMOTE - http://counterparty.io

Counterparty is a freely licensed and open-source platform for peer-to-peer finance that lives on the Bitcoin blockchain. The network has been live since January, and it has seen over 90k transactions since then.[1] Overstock.com recently announced that it would be building the world's first SEC-regulated stock market for cryptosecurities on our platform.[2]

The non-profit Counterparty Foundation is hiring a developer to join a team of two (myself and one other) dedicated to further developing the Counterparty Protocol and software ecosystem (e.g. wallet software, block explorers). Experience with Python is strongly preferred, as much of the work will be with the protocol's reference implementation, counterpartyd.[3]

It goes without saying, this is an unconventional position requiring a great deal of independence, self-direction and creativity.

Koove, Mountain View, CA - CTO - Remote At Koove, we believe communities are the core of the universe. However, the online communities are not really able to achieve that. There has been no disruption since Reddit. If you are passionate about solving this problem and making great communities, lets discuss and see if we have synergies.

AngelList - San Francisco, CA and New York, NY https://angel.co/angellist/jobs/97-engineer

There's nowhere I'd rather work right now than AngelList - our motto in hiring is "Would I start a company with this person?", so all of my coworkers are amazing, skilled people.

Together, we're not just funding 40+ startups per month - we're connecting these startups to a diverse group of investors whom they can reach out to for advice, connections, etc. And for the investors, this is a 10X improvement over any other way to invest (https://t.co/7AmuxYWHe3).

Fundraising is a complex market with multiple sides, so we are looking for great engineers who are excited to tackle this problem and streamline the entire market.

Our other business is matching people to their next startup job. For jobs, we believe in transparency (all jobs have salary and equity ranges disclosed).

This model has led to tremendous growth, but we still have a lot to do. There's room here for any engineer or designer to have a huge impact on the next iteration of AngelList Talent and therefore change the lives of thousands of other engineers and designers.

Apply via AngelList and mention that you saw Mike's message on Hacker News.
