Prior Knowledge (SF), Full Time, Intern

P(K) is a small team in downtown San Francisco pushing the frontiers of probabilistic machine learning to the masses. Our first product is Veritable, a predictive database. We like to think of it as a database for things you don't (yet) know.

We're passionate about discovering the hidden causes behind data, and are currently split pretty evenly between machine learning experts, scalable systems engineers, and people used to working with horribly messy, complex, and sparse data. We're backed by Peter Thiel's grou, Founders Fund, who share our commitment to long-term technical innovation.

One of our interns backed out last-minute (due to issues with his NSF fellowship) so we also have an open slot for the summmer!

http://priorknowledge.com/join-us/ describes a bit more about what we're looking for, and you can always e-mail me (jonas@priorknowledge.com) for more info! Or swing by our offices at the intersection of 3rd and Market to meet the team.

Atlanta, GA - MailChimp (http://mailchimp.com)

Software Engineer

+++++ What we're looking for +++++

* Solid engineers. We don't care about pedigree or what languages or stacks you've worked in, we just want great engineers. In fact, if you don't want to "polish up the ole resume" and want to send code instead, that's great with us (though we'll take a resume in lieu of code).

* Developers who will thrive without explicit supervision or constant guidance.

* Developers located anywhere, but willing to work in Atlanta. We allow for flexible hours and some telecommute options, but you've got to be in the office here in downtown Atlanta on a regular basis. Relocation is an option.

+++++ Why it's great to work here +++++

* While we agree that PHP isn't the world's greatest language (http://blog.mailchimp.com/ewww-you-use-php/), it's our main language and our framework allows us to get a lot done without feeling the pain of PHP.

* We do use other languages also, such as python, C and more - http://blog.mailchimp.com/language-at-mailchimp/

* Our scale is interesting and fun and just keeps growing - http://blog.mailchimp.com/mailchimp-numbers/

* We are allowed to be creative. We're actually required to. Without process, managers, and meetings getting in the way, we get to concentrate on what we love to do without barriers - http://www.fastcocreate.com/1679207/creative-cultures-mailch...

Cambridge, MA or REMOTE. Full-time.

The Ksplice group at Oracle

Does writing Python clones of your favorite childhood computer games sound like a fun weekend project? Would you hack on an old-school graphics demo that fits into a DOS MBR in your free time? Have you ever told a joke whose punch line was a git command? If you answered yes to any of the above, we want to hear from you!

About us

We are a small, tight-knit team of 12 women and men excited to work on technology that most people will tell you is impossible: updating an operating system kernel while it is running. Our product, Ksplice Uptrack, is a subscription service for Linux that provides completely non-disruptive, rebootless kernel updates. (You can read more about the underlying technology at http://www.ksplice.com/paper)

Our open positions

Kernel engineer: Help us bring Ksplice to new Linux distribution releases, build rebootless kernel updates, and improve and scale the infrastructure around distributing them to our users.

Full-stack engineer with strong Python experience: Help us bring the Ksplice Uptrack client to new Linux distribution releases, improve our server infrastructure, and develop and extend our REST API and Django-based web interface.

If this technology excites you, let's talk! Feel free to direct questions to me at jessica.mckellar@oracle.com or to jobs@ksplice.com. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.

New York, NY - Software Engineer - Fulltime

Canvas Networks (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future.

The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job. You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.
