Backend/Frontend Developers - Mirus Research - Bloomington, IL - onsite.

We're a small, established company that does B2B and Enterprise-level software. We have 10 employees and 4 of us are full-time devs. We work in whatever tools are productive and pleasant to use (historically we've used Python, Node, Clojure on the backend, and we're just figuring out how to make good use of the new-hawtness frontend tools like Knockout/React/etc.). We're not afraid of experimenting with new stuff, but we tend to favor tried and true solutions, so working with Django, Postgres, and JQuery should not make you want to claw your eyes out.

We're looking for both backend and frontend developers who are willing to relocate to a family-friendly college town in the Midwest. We have a wide tolerance for your experience level, PLEASE get in touch if you're interested. (don@mirusresearch.com)

We have a lot of the startup-style environment (chef-prepped lunch once a week, massage therapist once a month, couches, ping-pong, macbooks, trendy office, etc.) without the stress of worrying whether you'll be on the streets in a month. Also, we're not a frat house, so if the keg-in-the-office or brogrammer scenes aren't really your thing, you won't have to worry about that here.

Unfortunately, at the present time we are only able to hire folks who are legally able to work in the US.

Clever (YC S12) is hiring full-stack engineers in San Francisco to hack education

Steve Jobs described education as one of the final frontiers still untouched by modern technology. Clever (https://getclever.com) is building the data platform needed for great software to make its way into the classroom. Just like Stripe has made it simple for developers to build payment processing into their apps, Clever has made it easy for developers to build applications for schools using student data.

We're a small team of highly technical hackers with deep experience in education. Since releasing the Clever APIs in 2012, we've signed up the most innovative education companies as partners and deployed our platform to 1 in every 7 schools in America. Clever is making it easier for 4M students to use technology in the classroom, and that number is growing rapidly.

We have all the usual SF startup perks: a beautiful loft office in SoMa, free lunch, and great benefits. More importantly, you’ll be working around a team of 24 smart, talented people (9 engineers) who are all equally committed to solving this particular problem.

We’re always pushing each other to learn new things, both technical and nontechnical - in the past few weeks we’ve done collaborative tech talks on things like:

-exoplanets

-kitesurfing

-Magic: the Gathering

-Regular Expressions for Regular People

(We also play a lot of bughouse chess.)

We’re looking for full-stack engineers who can hack in Node, Go, and Python (or are willing to learn), but more importantly, we’re looking for people who share our passion for improving education. Come help us change the classroom: https://clever.com/about/jobs
