San Francisco, Thumbtack, Software Engineer

Thumbtack is a new way to hire local services, e.g. photographers, tutors, or home contractors. With millions of users and an active consumer base across the US, we're riding the proverbial rocketship with insane month-over-month growth figures. If you want to join a company that has ridiculous growth, opportunity, but also impact on the real world, Thumbtack might be a good choice.

Some things our users are saying: "I owe my business to you", "50% of my business is from Thumbtack", "I can work less and earn more with Thumbtack." We help small businesses build their client-base. And on the flip side of the marketplace, we help consumers find just the right person to do the job with minimal effort on their part.

H1B is great. :-)

We're a human-focused company: we brew beer, eat meals together (cooked by our in-house chef), and otherwise enjoy the usual startup perks in downtown SF. But we maintain a serious perspective about our software, engineering discipline, and experimental rigor.

If you're in SF, I'm happy to meet up for coffee: email chris @.

London, UK. REMOTE partly okay, but some meetings in London required. Part time 3/4 days a week also a possibility.

Wildfish - http://wildfish.com

We're a London based consultancy, working exclusively with Django. Thus far it's just been myself and a collective of freelancers, for some 13 years now, but now I'm looking to put together a permanent team to take things to the next level, maybe starting with you :).

As the first permanent developer besides me (also a Django specialist) you'll get a chance to help shape how we do pretty much everything. Most of the day to day will be working on developing and maintaining new and existing client web apps and sites, but there'll also be time for our own product ideas, as well as open source work and blog posts.

Everything's results focused. As such you'll be free to work from home as much as you want, meeting up occasionally, so long as things get done and the clients are happy.

Some of the things we use, which it would be good for you to know some of:

- Python/Django [Essential]

- HTML/CSS/Javascript [Essential]

- Twitter Bootstrap

- Git / Github

- PostgreSQL

- Ubuntu Linux Server Administration

- TDD, django-webtest

- Jenkins, django-jenkins

- Salt, Linode

I'm imagining I'm looking for someone who has at least 2 years of Django experience, experience in an agency/consultancy environment would be a bonus, but if you can demonstrate that you know your stuff, for example with open source contributions, or code examples, then that's fine too.

You'll be working autonomously a fair bit, so it's important that you're the sort of person who has attention to detail and can read requirements carefully.

Would also be open to considering either part time work, or possibly part equity, please mention when getting in touch if any of these are of interest. Also let me know what sort of money you're looking for. Please mail work@wildfish.com.

Thanks :)

St. Louis, MO - Business & Technology Applications Analyst I (entry level position) - The Genome Institute - 26988

The Genome Institute at Washington University has an opening for a talented software engineer in the Bioinformatics group. The position will work with an experienced group of software engineers to develop software supporting the tracking of laboratory data and analysis processes to support large scale genomic research projects.

The ideal candidate has a talent and love for writing software, is interested in developing that skill, and applying it in a production environment. The candidate will be expected to learn new things on a regular basis, think critically, and collaborate with other developers across groups. The environment is fast-paced and a person who likes to get things done will find a lot of opportunity.

The Genome Institute has been at the forefront of genome research since its inception in 1993 and has been a part of major scientific projects such as the Human Genome, 1000 Genomes and TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) Projects. The Genome Institute is a world-leader in the generation and analysis of genomic sequence data and uses this data to extend biological knowledge of the human genome and provide clinically relevant sequence analysis aimed at understanding human diseases (such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease). In addition, the Institute fosters public understanding of genomic science through various educational and outreach efforts.

The applicant will use these skills to develop software that will: interface with people and/or laboratory equipment, process and analyze large data sets on a compute cluster, and provide intuitive web based interfaces to the specifications of the laboratory managers and technicians.

Proficiency in dynamically typed languages (Perl, Ruby, Python, Lisp, etc.) is a plus, but not required. Understanding of relational databases and SQL will be helpful. Experience with web technologies such as HTML, CSS, Javascript and approaches such as REST and AJAX is an asset. Regular work will be done in GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like development environments.
