Euclid Inc., Palo Alto, Platform Engineer, Full-time

As a member of the Platform team, you must enjoy big data and everything that comes with it – you need to possess intellectual breadth beyond software, enjoy the creative side of analytics, and have a willingness to work outside your comfort zone.

To successfully handle the traction with our clients and convert it to revenue, we are growing the platform team. We want to re-architect, revise and strengthen the existing platform to digest and circulate the expected amount of data from global sources. Both the analytic and web application component of our product depend on the platform engineers' work. The platform engineer architects data collection from real time sensor technology, scales and creates algorithms to extract revolutionary business insights, and automates this process to power Euclid’s web application.

Euclid is digitizing the real world and leveling the playing field for the brick and mortar retailers by changing how they use data. The platform engineer’s role is to digest and circulate our terabytes of data. Euclid treats platform as an essential and rigorous engineering domain, and invest ample resources to it.

New York, Fulltime, Spreecast Mobile Engineer

We are bringing Spreecast, a live video platform, to mobile and are growing a team of engineers in New York City. We’re looking for generalist engineers to join our mobile team.

We work primarily in iOS and Android and we use a variety of custom video components. We really like full stack engineers and encourage people to learn new skill sets – our best engineers are comfortable with modifying code on our Wowza, FMS, Ruby on Rails, and Java servers. You can try our website at www.spreecast.com to see the experience we are bringing to mobile apps.

We’re most interested in excellent engineers, regardless of which current language/toolset you’re currently using. We believe that excellent engineers can quickly accomplish great things in a language that they don’t already know. So if you’re a longtime C++ engineer that wants to get involved with mobile development, be sure to contact us. Engineers with experience in Android and iOS should definitely apply.

Fun Stuff

Choose your own engineering setup. For instance I’m writing this on a Retina Macbook Pro with two external monitors and 16GB (!?!) of RAM.

We’re expanding our office in NYC to include a full time studio for celebrities to use to create Spreecasts.

Our headquarters are in San Francisco so you’ll get to take trips to the Bay Area.

About Us

We are well funded, have been in beta for 9 months, and have offices in NYC and San Francisco. One of our cofounders, Jeff Fluhr, previously started StubHub and sold it to eBay.

Please contact robert@spreecast.com

Two Sigma (SoHo, NYC) - Full Time, Intern, H1B

Did you know there's a company based in Soho that has enough technology to be considered among the world's Top 250 supercomputing sites? One that imports over 5TB of data every single day, and has alumni from Google, Intel, and Microsoft?

You might think I'm talking about some stealth-mode startup, but I'm talking about where I work: Two Sigma Investments. At our core, we're a technology company applying our talents to the domain of finance. We've created a system that combines artificial intelligence and keen human insight — a system that's constantly improving and advancing.

We're looking for a diverse set of technologists to join our team. Our challenges require mastery of areas such as kernel level development, machine learning, and distributed systems. Our team includes a Unix Lifetime Achievement winner, Putnam medalists, ACM Programming competition finalists, and International Mathematics Olympiad medalists. We are proud of our individual pedigrees, but even prouder of our teamwork.

We tend to hire people with at least a bachelor’s degree in a technical or quantitative field and experience with C or languages that target the JVM, but we are open-minded in our search for critical thinkers who are passionate about technology. We analyze the data-rich domain of finance, but financial experience is not a requirement. We hope to hear from you!

Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets.

We are all engineers, and we design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets.

We are a very small team (I am currently the only employee). We will add one or two engineers to our team in the coming months and are looking for people who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.
