About us:

This is cutting edge technology in a niche market with major studios signed on to use the software upon completion...

We’re located in Los Angeles but you can be from anywhere in the US. We are a smart and flexible little company trying to create something that hasn't been done before - an overused statement that can truly be applied to this project. The positions are freelance/contract jobs until

Los Angeles: Porn Star Developer

We are an angel funded startup looking for hard working porn star to join our production.

You should have tremenous coding stamina which results in voluminous output. You should be able to go all night for hours on end and not get bored.

You will get very little direction, so it is expected that you know what you're doing - like it's instinctual for you.

We are a small team so you should be prepared to wear a variety of hats such as server repair man, pool cleaner and pizza delivery guy.

You should be good with people. We often begin the day programming by ourselves, but sometimes end up pair programming (or even small groups!) by the end of the day.

We are proponents of testing. If your code fails a test you will be prohibited from doing any new programming (especially with others) until the bug is cleared up.

We are a company of finishers. If we start a project we keep at it until it's done!

We expect a ton of users when we release. This thing is going to explode - we'll be all over HackerNews!

Real talk:

Swagsy is a socially driven marketplace where celebrities share the products they love. http://investors.swagsy.com

This isn't another "I have an idea can you build it for me" Craigslist ad. Our product is built and in private beta. We are launching with some of the biggest celebrities in the world. And we have a pipeline of brands that are ready to ship.

We have A-list advisors, have raised Angel and will close Series A soon.

We are looking for a talented Senior Magento Developer for Swagsy.

The ideal candidate: - loves Magento like it was their first born - is brilliant, fearless, and passionate

Expect talented, motivated, intense, and interesting teammates.

Email mlulic at swagsy. Interns and H1Bs and TNs welcome.

Palo Alto, CA: FT Software Engineers (C++ / Python) - Manager, Front-End, Back-End, Generalists, & Interns!

Will relocate.

E la Carte (www.elacarte.com) is revolutionizing the restaurant industry with our Presto touch-screen tablets, which enable guests to browse appetizing pictures of the entire menu, place orders, split checks, make payments, and play interactive games – all from the comfort of their restaurant seats without having to wait.

We're not just building an ephemeral website or apps - we're building an actual tablet as a platform and amazing software for restaurants across North America! Your grandmother will use this product.

Join our tight-knit team of 35 (~10 Engineers from MIT, Microsoft, and Amazon) in our Palo Alto house and help us scale up this fast-growing company. You'll wear lots of hats, have immense room for professional development and growth, and be able to make a huge impact on our product and organization.

You'll also be given a lot of flexibility but we have a few unalterable rules: be straight-forward, own your work, stay in touch, and get stuff done. We have fun too - dominate other local startups with us in soccer matches, take a break for an impromptu counterstrike battle, or chow down at our monthly BBQ.

Our favorite tools are Python and C++, but our platforms are complex and we learn new technologies daily. Most of our engineers get their hands on a variety of projects, although we could use specialization in the areas of Front-End and Back End. We even have opportunities for Interns and a Manager - just reach out!

You can view complete details on our company and specific openings at www.elacarte.com/about or take our challenge at www.elacarte.com/challenge so we can assess your skills instead of your resume writing abilities.
