Epoxy (http://epoxy.tv) in Venice, CA (Los Angeles; full time ideal, intern, remote and h1b considered)

Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Senior Front-End Engineer and more

http://epoxy.tv/jobs

Epoxy builds exceptional software for online video creators and viewers. Our tools help YouTubers and networks optimize their businesses and deepen the relationship with their audience. Our channel experiences provide viewers with new ways to connect with and experience the content they love.

Epoxy was founded by designers, engineers and entrepreneurs who are passionate about product and solving problems. Our backgrounds include Stanford, Brown, IDEO, Adobe, Mixpanel, Google/YouTube and Team Downey.

There are a number of senior engineering positions we'd like to hire for specifically, but we're absolutely interested in hiring smart people who don't exactly fit any of those particular positions. In general, we look for:

* BS or MS in Computer Science, a related degree from a top-tier program or the equivalent experience and mastery in industry

* Substantial real-world engineering experience with products shipped

* Strong, well articulated opinions on product design and engineering issues along with genuine flexibility and enthusiasm for approaches other than your own

* Preference for fast-moving markets, products, teams and the sometimes-ambiguous and fickle nature of early-stage startups

* High personal value on culture and culture fit in a job

* Deep sense of personal product ownership and long-term interest in developing technical and soft skills

We're building on a thoroughly modern stack including Ruby on Rails, node.js, Backbone.js, MongoDB, and friends.

Sound like something for you? Check out more complete descriptions at http://epoxy.tv/jobs or drop us a line at jobs@epoxy.tv. Thanks!

Edyt (http://edyt.com) is in Alameda CA, an island in the San Francisco Bay. On-site full-time ideal; remote considered for senior devs with particularly relevant skills.

Edyt is a National Science Foundation startup providing browser-based, collaborative authoring/reviewing software for enterprises. We've received a five-year contract (with optional five-year extension) to extend TeamPatent, a patent-specific customization of Edyt, for the European Patent Organization. TeamPatent will be the centerpiece of this influential IT project worth over $100m.

Edyt is currently seeking front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers to contribute and grow with us. We perform complex processing on a JavaScript front-end client and increasingly use Node.js on the back-end so expertise or willingness to become expert in JavaScript is a huge plus. We also use Python and PostgreSQL on Linux infrastructure to support semantics, search, and collaborative document stores.

We offer a collaborative environment with ample opportunities to integrate and extend open source, work with others who live and breathe code, and travel internationally. You MUST be passionate about web software as you’ll need to quickly learn our technologies and become an individual contributor who mentors others. Expect to argue over the merits of various approaches at both technical and product levels.

We’re located in Alameda, a lovely island in the San Francisco Bay. Alameda is great for families, with tremendous walking neighborhoods (Our office has walk score of 98!), and a 20 minute bus ride to downtown San Francisco providing a unique combination of small town atmosphere with metropolitan opportunities.

Edyt holds the potential to be a career-making project with enormous intellectual scope and market potential. Please join us!

Hello! TASER International (www.taser.com) is looking for a few full time software developers to work on our Evidence.com (www.evidence.com) video evidence management solution.

The environment is start-uppy and driven; we want stellar engineers who like getting things done in a friendly, collegiate, low-politics environment. TASER has more equity upside than large companies and none of the "lottery tickets" of early stage start-ups. Familiarity with Amazon web services is a plus. We have offices in Santa Barbara and Phoenix, with an additional office opening in Seattle.

If interested or want more information, please email danny@taser.com. Thank you!

Cielo24, Santa Barbara, California. Office in downtown Santa Barbara.

We build crowd/machine hybrid systems, currently focusing on media captioning solutions and seeing significant penetration and revenue in the online education vertical. You've never heard of us, but you've probably seen our work if you've looked at online education.

We're looking for: Python backend developer(s) (Django/RabbitMQ/Celery/Postgres stack), building both workflow management systems, including operational dashboards and analytics, and backend ASR and machine learning based text recommendation systems.

Web frontend developer(s) for basic HTML5/JQuery/Bootstrap type sites, and custom HTML5 based work tools (for example, a video caption editor).

INTERN: Dev internet with strong enthusiasm for python or web frontend development. Analytics intern who would like to help develop quality metrics, and analyze output quality from various workflows, ASR engines, and other partners.

We have a very small online presence currently, only a minimal retail site at www.oneclicktocaption.com, but are doing significant monthly revenue through direct b2b channels. Revenue is growing as fast as dev can build out scale and capabilities to support it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is common practice in most countries but the US. In fact, you can read it the other way around: why do you think companies are now forced to not ask for pictures in the resumes in the US?

Saying that it's "common practice" does not answer the question of why you care what I look like. If a person can code, they can code, no matter what they look like. The only thing that a photo does is assist in discriminating based on looks, age, disability, and other non-job-related attributes. As far as I know, there's nothing preventing U.S. companies from asking for photos with resumes. It's just not common, pro…

>> Perhaps I'm naive, but I would have thought that start-ups, being as they are overly-concerned with "getting sht done", would be the last to discriminate on irrelevancies.

Exactly! What I was trying to say was: because it's common practice, I don't think they are making a special case* of asking for a picture in the CV. Rather, they are just using what's considered the norm over there.
