appFigures is looking for a full time javascript (AngularJS) developer in New York City.

appFigures is the leading app store analytics and intelligence platform focusing on helping app developers make data-driven decisions instead of flying blind.

My co founder (and brother) and I started the company to make great analytics affordable and accessible to developers of all sizes, from indie to Fortune 500.

We've been around for almost 6 years and are completely self funded, profitable, and growing.

If you like the idea of helping fellow devs and want to make big data easy to visualize and understand appFigures is the place to be.

P.S. - we're also looking for data scientists, back end developers, and sales reps.

Boston, MA - full time, internship, exploring possible remote

Programmer, Developer, Hacker =============================

Smarterer - http://smarterer.com/ A Pluralsight company (http://pluralsight.com/)

Make a difference. Change the world. Do something important.

Be part of a company with an amazing culture: "We are Pluralsight" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT7eHCCwH84

We are looking for creative web programmers, developers and hackers to join our product team. Ideally you are a versatile technologist who loves to build web products, especially (but not exclusively) if you have Python experience. Our stack is primarily Python, SqlAlchemy, Backbone and CoffeeScript.

Skills are changing too quickly and what makes someone effective in a role or job is evolving. New roles appear daily that no (or few) traditional universities have courses for. People are acquiring more and more skills through non-traditional means. Companies are finding it increasingly difficult to close the "skills gap".

How do you show what you know? How do you even know what you know?

Smarterer has created an innovative, machine learning, crowd-sourced testing platform that will disrupt how people think about skills, testing and learning. Don’t let our name fool you, while our system is fun, our unique, patent-pending technology is also deeply rooted in scientific modern testing theory.

Smarterer was recently acquired by Pluralsight and continues to operate as an independent entity in Boston. We're looking to grow aggressively and have the resources and backing of an amazing organization. Together we're building something truly unique, you should be a part of it!

Interested? Contact me at mikepk@smarterer.com

Huh, I thought this was filled.

Open Whisper Systems is working to make private communication simple. Building well designed, free, and open source privacy products is the sole mission of Open Whisper Systems.

Open Whisper Systems is also looking for a lead designer in the Bay Area to shape the look and feel of our entire suite of applications.

We're looking for people with opinions, vision, self-direction, and responsibility. Substantial experience in the domain of iOS development or design is a must, but we are not looking for experience with security or cryptography.

The position is full time in San Francisco. We can help with relocation.

Human API - Redwood City, CA & Vancouver, BC http://humanapi.co/ == What you will build == Human API is the easiest way to integrate health data from anywhere. Users can now securely share their health data with any application or system, regardless of how that data was recorded, processed or stored. As an engineer on our team, you'll tackle the challenges that arise as we build a large-scale system for data processi…

Just tried to go through your application process and I have to say there is a bit too much friction for people that don't have a twitter, facebook, or linkedin account. Even the people that do have such accounts it seems like they have to sign up for angel list account. All of that is unnecessary friction because the only piece of information you need is a pdf or html document as the resume.
