Fitbit is hiring full-time software and hardware engineers.

I've been a Principal Software Engineer at Fitbit since November (previously Senior Software Engineer at Google) and Fitbit is an awesome place to work. The company culture is fantastic. The people are great to work with. The Boston office feels like a startup because it's so small and new, yet we're well-funded and secure. Everywhere I go people tell me they love our product or know someone who loves it and talks about it.

If you're really good but none of those positions seems to exactly fit you, apply anyway. New projects are emerging with big data, new products, and other ideas. Feel free to reply with general-interest questions. Personal inquiries can be emailed to me, blewis at the obvious domain.

In Site Engineering, we're using jQuery, underscore, Handlebars, Backbone, Stylus, Buster, Selenium, requirejs, and Highcharts on the front end, with new technologies introduced as needed. We're only using node as part of the build system for now. The back end is tomcat with a lot of Spring and Hibernate in front of mysql.

Some big data projects I'm aware of also use Python. Beyond that, check job listings to know what tools might be used.

Shift is building a new way to buy and sell cars. The founding team includes the co-founder of Taxi Magic; an experienced Google and Dropbox engineer; and a long-time Google Product Manager.

We are looking for engineers who have a strong product sense and are passionate about both technology and user experience. This includes full-stack, front-end, back-end, and mobile engineers. Join our team, come in at the ground level, and shape a product that has great potential to transform a huge market!

Our tech stack is HTML5, iOS, Android, Go, App Engine, and AWS.

Cars are the largest retail vertical in the US – consumers buy almost 50 million new and used cars every year, totaling $1 trillion in value. Yet technology has barely touched the market. Americans buy cars in the same, burdensome ways they did decades ago. Selling a car means either letting the dealer collect a huge margin in a trade-in, or significant hassle selling to a private party. Our goal is to create a delightful experience for every person buying and selling a car, similar to Tesla’s customer service.

Shift is extremely well-funded (with a seed round as large as many A rounds), has strong partnerships with key strategic players across the value chain of the car buying process, and has done dozens of sales in San Francisco. We are lean and hypotheses-driven, led by engineering and design. We work hard together, have fun together, and strive to ensure a healthy and respectful culture.

We're boostrapped and profitable. And focused on photography, art, and artists.

We're hiring in a lot of areas, but I'm focused on DevOps. Tech stack is Ubuntu, Chef, HAProxy, Mongo, Node, Varnish, PHP, and a smattering of other things.

P.S. Studios in sunny Phoenix, AZ is looking for a local full-time, well-rounded web developer to enhance our creative and committed team. Our clients range from local arts and cultural organizations to architects, national educational institutions and retailers. We focus on providing an excellent working experience for our clients and continually pushing the envelope with design on the web.

Your main responsibility will be building web experiences using a variety of front- and back-end technologies. We are primarily a Wordpress shop, so this will include intensive PHP development as well as interaction and UI development and design. Projects will include everything from coding simple HTML emails, to planning, building, and deploying customized publishing platforms and web apps. You will become an integral part of our team, helping craft and execute cutting-edge projects for small and large web efforts, with emphasis on design and performance.

-------- Day-to-day on the Job --------

Since we are a small studio, no two projects are the same and a lot of our success is due to our flexibility.

The ideal candidate will have strong knowledge of PHP, HTML5 and CSS3 and can demonstrate experience building websites from design to launch. Experience with modern web development workflows (preprocessors, MVC principles, modular/OO design patterns) is key. Must understand the development process and have the ability to scope and architect Wordpress and other database-driven sites. Have a deep understanding of SEO principles, web standards and responsive design, and can isolate browser-compatibility bugs back to IE8 when called for. The ability to jump in and successfully troubleshoot an unfamiliar site is a must. Familiarity with version control systems (git) is important, and knowledge of other development languages/platforms (Rails, Flask, etc) and/or database administration is a plus.

This is a full-time in-house position at our Phoenix studio. Salary is commensurate with experience.

-------- Skills & Requirements --------

- Ability to solve complex technical problems and communicate the solution clearly to other non-technical designers and client teams

- Examples of hand-coded, standards-based HTML5, CSS3 and javascript work (doesn't have to be from client work)

- Experience developing custom Wordpress sites or themes, both front-end and back-end, from scratch when necessary

- Experience with modern front-end development tooling: Sass, Bower, Codekit/Grunt/etc, git or other VCS

- Experience with UX development: Responsive design, Semantic markup, mobile optimization

- Understanding of MVC architectures or maintaining/deploying a LAMP stack are a plus

- A strong sense of craftsmanship and pride in your work

-------- About PS Studios --------

Please email me at astockwell@psstudios.com if interested. Examples of finished work along with your inquiry are preferred.
