London, UK - Lead Mobile Dev (permanent)

State (http://state.it) is building a global opinion network - a massive-scale new social web startup. We've got a great team coming together in London, we didn't launch yet so you get to be in at the beginning, and we've got some fantastic technical challenges up ahead.

We're looking for a strong lead developer to build our mobile apps and eventually our mobile team - starting with iOS and moving onto Android as well. More info at http://jobs.state.it. Send us your published apps to demonstrate your experience.

Remote work not OK - we gain a lot from sitting together.

Could you please inform me if John Lakos's and/or Alisdair Meredith's teams are hiring and how to find these job postings?

We're all under the infrastructure umbrella.. I checked and there are no specific postings on the web for John's team, but that doesn't mean he won't interview qualified candidates. E-mail me your resume/info and I'll give it to him.

Social TV / Mobile Gaming Startup in New York, NY, San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA is looking for Software Engineers (Java, Python/PHP, Scala, node.js, C/C++ for Audio Engineering), Web Engineers (Native JavaScript, Ruby on Rails), Mobile Engineers (iOS, iPhone, iPad and Android), Linux System Engineers (Amazon EC2 experience preferred), and Quality Engineers. Full-Time Employees preferred but consultants are okay too. Onsite work is preferred but we're flexible.

So, I work for Function(x), a technology driven media company that just launched its first product dubbed Viggle at the end of January 2012. Viggle is the first of its kind rewards/loyalty program for watching TV (I know what you're thinking, someone hadn't done that yet? Apparently not).

Viggle allows individuals with smartphones (we've launched an iOS app, an Android app is in the works) to check into your favorite TV shows and get great, REAL rewards such as movie tickets, music, gift cards and much, much more; all just for watching the TV shows you love.

As you probably know by now, we're hiring across the board and tackling some pretty interested engineering challenges.

Think real-time audio ingestion ("audio thumbprint" technology), real-time traffic spikes in users as they check-in to their favorite tv-shows, mobile networking issues, etc.

You may also have the chance to work on the "next" Function(x) product too. We can't give away that secret sauce just yet.

Here's a link to the Viggle app - http://viggle.com/

Here's a link to our corporate website (we're are still in start-up mode even thought we're publicly traded) - http://www.functionxinc.com/

And here's some press that we've been getting (shameless self promotion isn't bad if it's the last thing you mention, right?) - http://www.functionxinc.com/press/

If you're interested, check out all our job descriptions here - http://hire.jobvite.com/j/?bj=omXZVfwX&s=Hacker_News

Or you can reach out to me at leifrecruiter "at" functionxinc "dot" com

Or at the following two phone numbers: +1-646-619-1327 or +1-516-220-0197

Thanks,

Leif Blomquist

Madison, WI, USA - Linux Operator (fulltime, no remote)

I'm leaving my awesome job in the University of Wisconsin Department of Physics at the end of this month and I want you to take over.

Our group operates a large (>=1PB disk, >=2500 cores) analysis facility that physicists from Wisconsin and around the world use to search for the Higgs boson (we're part of the CMS collaboration at the LHC). We work with peers at universities across the US and Europe to provide dozens of PB and millions of hours of computing each day. We write programs, share our code, optimize systems, distribute computing and occasionally rack hardware.

We like Python, Perl, Mercurial, shell tricks, SSH, Jabber, Ganglia, Apache and Nginx, Varnish and Squid, Scientific Linux (it's like Centos), APIS, (more) metrics, (fewer) alerts, CFEngine, Hadoop, Condor, KVM and libvirt, AFS and FUSE. We're reflexively open:

    http://hg.hep.wisc.edu/
    http://ganglia.hep.wisc.edu/ganglia
You don't need to have worked with many or any of the above, but you're excited about learning (or teaching us why your way works better). You're familiar with running a Linux system and wonder what breaks when you run hundreds of them. Repetitive tasks irritate you; open-ended problems pique your interest. You look forward to learning from colleagues with deep knowledge of C and systems programming; distributed computing; statistics and data analysis; and Indian food. You've been looking for a job where you're free to choose the right tech for the problem at hand and you itch to justify the choice empirically. Most of all, you're curious.

The position hasn't yet been officially listed, but I'd love to talk to you. Please feel free to email me at wcmaier@hep.wisc.edu or grab me on IRC (lt_kije on freenode). If you're a student, we'll take you on as a student hourly until you graduate. Otherwise, the university only likes to hire people with a BS/BA.
