Your working philosophy is great! However, it's very difficult to determine from your web page what types of engineers you're looking for. Can you elaborate on the particular skill set you need, and a little on the primary technologies that a candidate should have in order to be relevant?

Looks like there's a list here: http://apsis.io/apsis/blog/2015/05/04/were-hiring/

Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA -- ONSITE ****************** === What we do === ****************** We're building skynet (except we're focusing 100% on logistics, less so on the murder part) -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and pretty much everything else that moves in the supply chain (all the way down to the container/pallet level) so we can make predictions about what's goi…

Not my field but the stuff you're working on sounds awesome.

Nava | Washington DC* | Experienced full-stack developers/devops/product manager/operations | On-site - Full-time

We're a small team of engineers and designers from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix Healthcare.gov. It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time. The login system we rebuilt is about two orders of magnitude more reliable and two orders of magnitude less expensive; for example, it’s about $70M less per year to operate.

People die because the Veteran's Administration is months behind in processing claims. The Social Security Administration pays benefits to millions of deceased Americans. $80 billion is spent every year on federal IT contracting, and 96% of projects are deemed failures. [0] That’s not because there’s some conspiracy or because government is inherently incapable of doing it right. These are complicated legacy systems and processes, and there are very few people with modern tech industry experience who are aware of these problems and willing to help fix them. You can help change that.

Our team is about fifteen people (Stanford, Google, Khan Academy, Dropbox, YC alums) in DC and SF, and we plan to grow significantly in 2016.

We’re looking for: * experienced full-stack engineers * experienced devops engineers * a product manager with a technical background * a hyper-resourceful operations person

We have a social mission (we incorporated as a public benefit corporation), but we pay market compensation (above market, for DC) and equity (above market).

If you'd like to build software and infrastructure that radically improves how our government serves people, we’d love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

Learn more about us: http://navahq.com Job descriptions: http://jobs.lever.co/nava

*Not in DC / able to relocate, but intrigued and in SF? Talk to us!

Learning Equality - https://learningequality.org/ - San Diego, CA -- Onsite | Full-time

Who we are

========

We’re a small nonprofit committed to bringing the online education revolution to the 60% of the world without Internet. We started 3 years ago with KA Lite (https://learningequality.org/ka-lite/), an offline-installable platform bundling Khan Academy content and our own student tracking tools in an easy to install bundle. KA Lite has already reached over 2.1 million learners in 160+ countries.

We’re now starting to work on our next-gen offline ed-tech platform, Kolibri (https://learningequality.org/kolibri/), which aims to incorporate not only a wider set of content from partners, with alignment to local standards, but also allow anyone to create their own videos and exercises to meet the needs of their local context.

Positions

======

Full-stack Web Developer -- You will need to have some experience doing full-stack web development -- the specific stack we use is Javascript, Backbone.js, jQuery, HTML, CSS/LESS , Python and Django. We’re designing Kolibri as a small core app with the majority of user-facing features implemented as plugins. As an initial project, you’ll be working on creating a plugin that ports one of KA Lite’s features into Kolibri.

Executive Assistant/Office Manager -- You will have two roles - As “Executive Assistant”, you will be responsible for supporting core team members with communications, planning, drafting, and research. As “Office Manager”, you’ll be responsible for making sure the office runs smoothly, including handling mail, ordering supplies, organizing events and so forth. This is a combined role, with the exact job title and focus areas negotiable based on skills and interests.

Benefits

======

- Salary at the same levels as other core team members

- Retirement plan with matching employer contributions

- Health care + dental insurance

- Flexible and generous vacation policy

- Working in sunny San Diego

Toronto, Semi-Remote | JS Developer: Code for a cause!

---

We're proud of our universal health care, but our system faces difficult challenges. Hospital staff use "enterprise"-quality software that is hostile to its users. Doctors often struggle with the software's interfaces, and are unable to access the information that they need in a timely manner. Quality of care suffers.

Konode is bringing the fluidity and simplicity of modern web apps into the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) space, with a dedicated focus on bridging the gap between qualitative & quantitative observations. We depend on using the latest and greatest web-dev tools, and a short feedback loop with real professionals to make this possible.

We're ready to welcome a new code ninja with a genuine interest in developing meaningful software to help take this project to the next level.

Short-list of great perks to joining our team:

- Flexible schedule; shared office space at CSI Spadina

- A small and dedicated team (100% programmers)

- Happy, helpful team atmosphere. Good people and constructive workflow

- Real-world testing & feedback with network of health professionals

Sound good? On the technical side, our project runs on the NW.js platform and we use React for UI.

We are looking for a developer with significant experience in the following:

- Javascript / Coffeescript

- ReactJS, AsyncJS, NodeJS, ImmutableJS

- Testing and Usability

- Open-Source Projects

- Version Control (we use Github)

Team members must be able to meet downtown Toronto periodically.

Ready to apply? Please email your resume and portfolio to: drdave2063@gmail.com
