Santa Monica, CA | Riot Games

Riot Games makes League of Legends, one of the most popular games in the world. We need your help engineering our software delivery pipeline that delivers game content every 2 weeks on a massive scale across the globe.

You should work at Riot because:

* The problems we solve are not only interesting, they are done so at scales many companies never see.

* We use excellent, up-to-date technologies. We're using Ruby, Chef, Rails, and Erlang to manage our software delivery.

* We have a strong focus on automated test coverage and best practices, including doing BDD with Cucumber.

* We're exploding! Last July we announced that we have 15 million registered League of Legends players. Four months later, we announced that we reached 32 million registered players. Imagine how many we have now!

* We have a startup culture. We recently came out of startup mode and have had no trouble at all maintaining the best parts of startup culture. Maintaining culture is a huge focus at Riot.

* We are encouraged to play video games at work every day!

Interested? Great! You can find the official job posting here http://goo.gl/XIgQ9

Please send your cover letter and resume directly to the email in my profile so we know you applied from the awesomeness that is HN. Also, feel free to email me if you have any questions about working at Riot or in the games industry as a whole. We look forward to hearing from you!

Yammer is hiring engineers in SF and London, and a bunch of other non-engineering positions in London/NYC/AUS/elsewhere. Full jobs listing at https://www.yammer.com/jobs Yammer is basically a social network for the enterprise, but Yammer isn't just where you talk about work, it's increasingly where you do work. Large corporations are really inefficient and hierarchical and Dilbert-y, and we build software that treats…

To give you an example of the sort of stuff we do behind the scenes at Yammer, here's what my team has shipped: * a realtime message delivery service which handles hundreds of thousands of concurrent clients * an activity stream data store serving just shy of a billion requests a day * a distributed database serving well over a billion requests a day over tens of terabytes of data with ~10ms response times at the 99t…

... and besides interesting and challenging work you get to work with developers like codahale!

San Francisco, CA Pivotal Labs - FULLTIME, REMOTE, H1B. We're one of the best agile development consultancies around. We're looking for sharp, empathetic software developers, mainly working on web (Rails, JS) and mobile (iPhone, Android) projects. Past clients include Groupon, Twitter, Google, Gowalla. We also build Pivotal Tracker, an agile project management tool. You don't have to be an expert in Rails or the mobile frameworks to get a job here - as long as you are pleasant to work with and willing to learn, that's good enough. Since we pair every day, you'll pick up what you need to know very quickly. After just a month at Pivotal I felt I had improved leaps and bounds as a developer and learnt a tremendous amount about Rails that I didn't know before. Give me a ping - thomas@pivotallabs.com.

San Jose, CA - Milo.com, part of eBay

Milo's goal is to list every product on every shelf in every store. We have a noble goal of trying to help shoppers find products in store. Surprisingly, the vast majority of people still do most of their shopping in stores and we help them shop wisely. How? We show you the different pricing options and the distances to stores so you can decide if it is cost- and time-effective to go shop at a local store or use other options. In my opinion, we complement eBay shopping pretty well.

I joined this team as a data engineer a few months back and really enjoy the work environment. We still retain the startup culture (read more on the website) and also get the benefits of the larger company (eBay), which includes technical expertise and operational support.

We are currently looking for data engineers (and quite a few other positions as well). I work on the data team and we get to do a variety of interesting and technically challenging projects. You get to learn how the different pieces of the puzzle fit together and interact with different teams. I have the joy of working with some really smart people. I can honestly say, I look forward to going to work every day after having worked from home for the past couple of years at my previous job.

But, I have to warn you, once you get a taste of Milo, you may not want to go anywhere else...

Oh... and we mainly use Python and we are going to Pycon as well. Check out the website for more: http://milo.com/jobs

PS. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.
