Mumbai, India. Only full time positions, on location Looking to hire a) System Developers b) Software Developers c) Frontend Engineers d) Graphic/Web Designers Technologies/languages used: Scala/Python/Cassandra/Tornado/Redis http://www.pagalguy.com/join-us/

I was surprised to see a huge ad on the page and thought it was spammy or high-schoolish.

You might want to remove that ad on the header atleast on the careers and the about us pages on your site. IMHO, it doesn't make a good first impression.

Charlotte VT (13 miles south of Burlington) No remote: EatingWell Media (www.eatingwell.com) but relo package available for the right person.

Two programming positions: one 'junior' one 'mid level'. Our flagship site is Drupal with new tools coming out in Python.

A quickly growing company, still small (~35 people), stock options after a year, good benefits, great atmosphere, dog friendly office, good eats from the kitchen.

Your supervisor is a programmer; we are taking an afterthought of a department and growing it into the main revenue stream. Tons of room for growth, lots of freedom, and your input will be taken seriously.

Strong sys admin skills are not necessary but a huge plus (reverse proxy, managing clusters, etc)

sm1 who follows agile devlopement methodolgy ??

More someone who can run testing in a way which fits well with agile development, rather than simply verifying functionality once development is largely complete. In our case this means working closely with developers, product owners etc. early in the development cycle to ensure that acceptance criteria are fully explored and agreed on, helping the engineering team build automated acceptance tests, which we use to dr…

Sorry if I came off snarky in my question. I def didn't mean it that way.

Your explanation makes some sense, but (IMO) engineering teams should just strive to have developers own the testing process, especially if you except it to be "agile" automated testing of the unit/functional/continuous integration variety. Is testing not something that developers should (collectively) own?

More finely granulated titles/roles = less agile.

Los Angeles, CA - Global Systematic Trading Firm - Permanent/Requires Relocation (onsite only)

Looking for a C++ guy to work with a group of mostly Java developers. Part of the system (mostly low level order routing and data feed management) is built out in C++, so they need a resident expert to be the go to fixer and developer on those parts of the system. This role has a lot of responsibility, if you are into that kind of thing.

Ideally you should have some experience with financial data systems in a trading capacity. Other big things are socket programming and strong knowledge of the network stack. Some core Java is good as well. Very high compensation, and a great location to work.
