Stratasan (stratasan.com) - Nashville, Tennessee

Python Developer

Prior experience with other web-stack languages is fine (Ruby/Rails, PHP, Perl, etc), as long as you're willing to learn Python. Remote is an option for the right candidates, but we have a strong preference for someone local or willing to relocate.

We're a small startup in the healthcare sector. We take data from public and private sources and allow healthcare companies (hospital systems, non-profits, etc) to look at markets from multiple angles. Our biggest competitor is Thomson Rueters. More information on our full job post on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/1827430

Currently our team consists of two developers (and an intern), with 20+ years of programming experience between us. We are lazy developers, so we like to do things correctly the first time around (this means unit tests, readable code, etc.) so we can go home and be with our families. Rockstars, ninjas, and studs need not apply. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email us. We would prefer a mid- to senior-level developer, but if you're a junior and looking for mentorship in the trade, we still want to talk to you.

You can email jobs@stratasan.com, or email me directly at brian@ (same domain).

Mashape (http://mashape.com) - San Francisco

Java/Play/Scala Engineer

We're building the App Store of APIs.

Mashape provides a world-class marketplace to manage, distribute and consume any kind of API in the world, both cloud and internal, both existing or just born, targeting every developer, company or organization committed into the Internet.

We're a small, passionate team. We think we're revolutionizing the way data and services are distributed and consumed and we’re backed by top tier VCs in the world such NEA, Index Ventures, Charles River Ventures and Ignition Partners; as well as outstanding angels such Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) and Eric Schmidt’s (Google President) Innovation Endeavors.

You can email me or hackers@mashape.com

More info: http://blog.mashape.com/become-a-mashaper-were-looking-for-a...

We have one of the biggest stack for a small startup in Silicon Valley - Including: Java, Play framework, Ruby, Python, Obj-C, PHP, Erlang, node.js, Javascript, Memcached MongoDB, SimpleDB and DynamoDB, HTML5/CSS3 with LESS, Git, Maven, Linux/CentOS. Soon we'll add Scala and .NET and C#. As we scale we're going to use Hadoop, Lucene/Sphinx, Redis and a bunch of other amazing technologies. Tech challenges? Well, all the API calls pass through a proxy, the Mashape proxy, so scaling this shit to billion of calls/month while keeping a latency under 100ms or storing and analyzing the huge of amount of data that pass through it every second won't be easy.

I have a plea for those posting: Please tell me what you do so I know if that's something I'm interested in.

Example (not personal, you were just the top post right now): "Etsy.com is hiring all kinds of positions from engineering to design to marketing. Come join an awesome team..." I have no idea what you do or why that should interest me.

As opposed to: "Lot18 (http://www.lot18.com) is revolutionizing the way people buy wine and epicurean products online." Thank you, now I know whether I should continue reading based on whether that's something that interests me.
