Famo.us

Fulltime in SoMa, San Francisco, CA. No remote.

We're building the equivalent of Cocoa/CocoaTouch/Android SDK for web applications, while also exploring and enabling new concepts in interface design (e.g. stuff like Clear todo app, Yahoo iOS Weather app). Everything we build is HTML5 and Javascript based.

If you are a software developer with a passion for building operating systems, high performance graphics, application frameworks and software engineering tools come join us, because we're working on something big getting attention from some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley (although we can't yet say who).

We're series A funded and have plenty of runway and we've got many options on the table that we're beginning to mine so we can extend that runway indefinitely, while we build out our core product(s). We're at 10 people and growing.

Experience with functional programming and especially functional reactive programming is a huge plus. Our main language right now is in JavaScript, because that is what runs in the browser. However, we're still very small and use of only JavaScript isn't set in stone.

DictateIT - London (North), UK - Fulltime

We're the UK's largest provider of digital dictation services to the NHS, having processed over 120 million lines of dictated letters and patient notes in the last year over more than two dozen hospitals and NHS Trusts using the platform we've built that covers everything from dictation caption through to voice recognition and outsourced transcription and then to digital signing and distribution. As we go forward we're using our platform as a way to give hospitals better tools to manage their patient information and records and help the NHS work more efficiently, as well as seeing what other services we can build using our large corpus of medical documents as a starting point.

I'm building a small but dedicated team of developers who are excited about what we're trying to do and interested in taking on new challenges while trying to bring innovation and disruption to health care in the UK. We're profitable and at the point where our growth is rapidly accelerating - we've winning tenders left, right and centre and all of our current clients are adding more users and departments to our current deployments.

Our current platform is front to back C# - WCF, ASP.NET MVC, WinForms and WPF, with SQLServer on the backend.

I'm looking for solid C# and ASP.Net developers from Junior to Senior level, though having specific C# experience is secondary to being willing to learn quickly and being passionate about technology as long as you've got other languages you're strong in.

Having experience in DB design and query tuning would be of special interest as we're dealing with high volumes of patient information and 100Gb+ datasets on some of our sites and we want to keep our system running as fast as possible!

We're looking to hire several developers, offering between £25k-£50k depending on skill set and experience. If you're interested or you've got any questions, drop me an e-mail at tech.recruitment@dictate.it and I'll do my best to answer anything you ask!

Any possibility of the relaxing the US citizen requirement in the future?

I really don't think it's up to them unfortunately. As a non-US student looking to apply for one of their internships, I was burned by that too. The regulation in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_R...

Buffer ( http://bufferapp.com ) - Anywhere in the world (we're a distributed team of 11 people across the US, UK, Hong Kong and Sydney). I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We have over 650,000 users and are on a $1.3m+ annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead, as we are looking to pass a million users in 2013. We are expecting even faster growth in the coming mont…

What about profitability, do you mind sharing either gross or net margins ?

Profitability doesn't matter when you're growing. If they have 11 employees they are presumably spending every penny coming in to grow their business, which is what you would want. The payout will come later.

Anyway, it seems a great company.
