Yahoo (Ads & Data) -- Front-End Engineers

Fulltime - Bay Area

Big things are happening here at Yahoo: EmberJS, jQuery, Bootstrap, Underscore, Bower, Grunt, qUnit (yes, at Yahoo)

We want Front-end engineers who are excited about the bleeding edge of web application development.

We've started a big push to change our tech-stack and are making ambitious single page applications. We are just about to launch Yahoo's first EmberJS app Ad Manager Plus. It was announced [1] at Marissa' CES keynote. It's incredibly ambitious, highly visible, full of big data, and directly impacting the success of Yahoo.

You’re awesome because:

  - Someone in your life is jealous because you love JavaScript maybe too much
  - You want to build single page applications with Ember
  - Imperfectly written code keeps you from sleeping at night
  - Canary isn’t a bird to you; it’s a playground of wonderful new toys
  - You could develop back-end stuff, but your keen understanding of user interaction is what sets you apart from the crowd
  - You’re badass when working alone, but unstoppable when working with a team that’s firing on all cylinders
  - You like working with a functional style because forget verbosity
We’re awesome because:

  - We have other UI leaders just like yourself
  - We have the camaraderie of a startup, with all the nice perks of a big company
  - The projects you’ll work on are incredibly ambitious, highly visible, full of big data, and directly impacting the success of Yahoo.
  - We have disowned Internet Explorer’s first 8 children

SwiftStack - http://swiftstack.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA (preferred)

We are making running private cloud storage awesome. Our core product - the SwiftStack Controller - makes it easy to configure, deploy, manage and monitor your own personal Swift[1] cluster. It's a Django app, with a background task and alerting/eventing engine, a 0mq based remote execution agent to control the fleet, and statsd feeding graphite for telemetry.

But our core deliverable is OpenStack Swift. OpenStack is the open-source alternative to AWS, and Swift is Object Storage (think S3). And our team is actively driving new capabilities[2] with the open source community.

Our customers are managing distributed storage systems growing at dozens or hundreds of terabytes a month - we're literally taking on big problems - wanna help? We're primarily a python shop, actively recruiting Sr. Engineers and opinionated UX designers who have experience working with a Django team - but we've got lots of room for experience at all levels, if you're interested check us out:

Citymapper (London, UK) - Help build the world's best transport app!

(Python, iOS/Android, JavaScript, etc)

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but here are some of the things we make:

* Client experiences that people love. We have iOS, Android, and web apps.

* An omnivorous transport data processor. We fuse together loads of data sources (of wildly varying quality) to give people the information they need in a growing number of cities around the world. We use a lot of Python.

* A fast, scalable stable of servers. We have a large user base which relies on us to give them snappy answers every day. We use Saltstack.

* A psychic city brain. We're digging up patterns in urban data to tell people the answers they need to know about their commute before they know the questions.

If you want to help us with these things and other yet-to-be revealed madcap schemes, we want to hear from you!

http://citymapper.com/jobs - or drop me a line at nicholas@citymapper.com if you just want to talk :)

Would you happen to have any info you could share on your internship program? I wasn't able to find any info on it on your site. (What type of internship positions are open, maybe a bit on what you're looking for in interns.)

Your company looks really interesting, and I'm somewhat interested in applying for an internship if you still have positions open.
