SalesWise - Atlanta [Midtown] - Fulltime, but interns OK.

Space: Sales is the singularly most important function of any Company. Many new products and platforms have been created to help sales organizations with these changes but sales reps and sales managers lack a compelling, easy to use, interface to organize, visualize, and share data about their prospects and sales performance.

Solution: We are building a sales platform that automatically interfaces and integrates with all backend sales systems and tools (CRM, Email, Calendar, Social, etc). Our initial product radically simplifies how sales reps organize and interact with the prospect/buyers It’s an elegantly-designed product adapted to let them efficiently sell to their prospects without the headaches of CRM entry or spreadsheets.

We’re an Atlanta startup looking for passionate hackers that love building amazing, technically-difficult products that make huge impact on people’s lives. We’re a small team with a strong background: a wildly successful serial entrepreneur that can’t stop and a passionate ex-Googler that lives on the forefront of tech.

You:

- Love the full stack. It’s OK if you don’t have chops in every technology that we’re using, but you should genuinely be eager about learning. Here’s what comprises our stack: AngularJS, Meteor/Node.js, Javascript, Sass, Go (aka Golang), IPython (data science).

- Look forward to building and owning huge parts of the product. You’ll be one of the first technical hires and there are a lot of exciting pieces to work on, lets chat and we can find the right fit for you.

- Love to get going -- have the mentality of a hacker and the quality of a pro.

- Yearn for the high rewards of an early stage startup. Lucky for you, not so much risk as we have a great comp plan lined up for you.

- Want to influence and grow the culture of a young company. The way we see it: We’re building something of immense value, let’s have fun doing it.

- Live in Atlanta, or can make the move.

- Are full-time, part-time or looking for an internship. If you’re a rockstar, we don’t care what your deal is, let’s get you on board!

http://3QAYJ.com looking for 1-2 REMOTE WEB DEV - Full time

- 1) What’s the best thing about your current job?

- 2) What’s the worst thing about your current job?

- 3) What things could you wish for to make your current work better?

These were the questions I asked my team in an email in June 2014. The intention was to use their answers to better understand and prepare a job posting in order to attract similar minded people to our company.

Their response however surprised me:

- "The best thing in my current job is free of implementation ways and time limits..."

- "Flexible work hours (and even days!). Ability to move to another place any time. Good team."

- "The best thing is freedom in ways to resolve the tasks. When I'm choosing tools, libraries or approaches I'm free to pick whatever will be the best for task. And not limited by some company policies as it was on previous jobs..."

- "The working flow standards... Company trusted politic... Team voice... The happy team... Strict and smart team lead..."

- "No hierarchy. Almost :) I feel we work not only for one person but for the company, moving this business forward - that's really inspiring."

Please review full answers here http://3QAYJ.com

In my opinion their answers were better than any job posting I could have done. It inspired me to rethink the whole way we normally post a job. When looking for skilled likeminded people to join our team we shouldn’t make a job post; rather we should make a “company pitch”. Most job posts are dictating who you are and what you should do – a common sentence in a job post often goes like this: “you got a master degree in computer science and like to...” or “you will develop solution concepts by using...”. We don’t believe in such requirements. We don’t think of you as a work unit in a production line. Rather we seek talents and personalities whom we would want to invest in a relationship with. We firmly believe modern companies need to rethink the way in which they attract similar minded people. We must open our door and introduce our values; as this is the first step towards creating a bond. After all we are the team that want you to join us.

With that being said welcome to 3QAYJ.com (www.3QAYJ.com) – our company pitch project to attract you!

Our workflow is managed via

JIRA,CONFLUENCE

and all code submitting is handled through Github, pull request. On a daily basis we communicate via hipchat and each Monday we have a weekly meeting via skype to touch base. One of the outcomes from the 3QAYJ is our team summit. Starting from 2015 we will have a real life team summit meeting some place around the world financed by the company.

We are currently looking at expanding our development team with 1-2 backend developers.

Job description

Here is a list of some of the tools and technologize we currently use:

- Nginx

- git

- Capistrano

- compass (scss)

- coffeescript (a little bit)

We'd appreciate if you have experience with the above or you can study how to use it.

We appreciate if you have:

- skills in Magento development

- skills in web development in general

- skills or at least wants to get skills in mobile applications development (Android/iOS)

Good confirmations of your professionalism could be:

- your github account with contributions to open source projects

- any certificates (Magento MCD/MCDP, ZCE and so on)

What we offer

- Long term full employment

- Flexible working hours

- Remote job - Work from your home

- Influence in all aspect of your work – freedom in ways to resolve tasks

- Respect your opinion/ support your own projects

- Stability and personal relationship

- Fully paid Team summit meeting each year.

Your Application

We hope you wish to join our team. Besides to technical ability we value personality a great deal. For that reason we would love from you to make a personal introduction in which you:

Dallas, TX: Core Engineer, Cloud Application

At Brainspace (http://brainspace.com), our goal is to meaningfully connect the world. We’re building the next generation of web and mobile applications on top of our groundbreaking and patented Brainspace platform, and we're passionate about creating the best possible core technology and user experiences.

We are growing rapidly, and as we do there are plenty of opportunities for engineers to shine. We work in Ruby, Java, and some Clojure, building complex systems with high scalability in the cloud. We're looking for an engineer to work on our core technology and service infrastructure. We are a young, fast-moving start up where everyone has a voice and can make a difference, so you'll play a key role in steering our technical direction as we continue to scale (quickly!).

Some tough things we are taking on:

    * Architecting and building our next generation of web services

    * Scaling up our existing systems to handle growing traffic

    * Identifying and building key new features for our core technology to meet the needs of our growing customer base
Things you’d be doing...

    * Participate in the planning, analysis, design, development and deployment of products, features and enhancements

    * Work as part of the development team to establish and apply the latest in engineering best practices

    * Build high-performance, scalable applications and APIs
You are a great fit if...

    * You want to solve hard problems

    * You think doing analytics in real time at web scale is a fun challenge

    * You want to work someplace where cookie-cutter off-the-shelf solutions aren't good enough.

    * You want to build something great.

    * You are willing to dig into Java, Ruby, NLP, and machine learning. And are not afraid of Elastic Search, Scala, Clojure, or whatever it takes to make great things work at web scale.
BONUS POINTS FOR:

    * Expertise in engineering world-class web applications

    * Experience with the AWS toolkit (EC2, S3, Elastic Beanstalk, etc) or similar

    * Familiarity and experience with modern search architectures

    * Experience in scaling a product from hundreds to thousands of users and beyond via load balancing, auto-scaling server deployment, HTTP accelerator caching, reverse proxies, failover, etc.

    * Experience with worker queues and clustering.

    * Strong understanding of high availability best practices in and out of the cloud * Experience with oAuth and Twitter / Facebook APIs

    * Excellent typing ability in the presence of flying nerf darts and RC helicopters
You’ll help lead our core development through its current, early stages to post-launch scaling. You love to ship code, have a strong sense of ownership, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

We offer:

    * A great company culture. We work hard and play hard!

    * A challenging objective with great opportunity to technically accomplish things you never thought you could

    * Competitive Salary, stock options and a 401k

    * Generous vacation policy
Do you want to come to work every day and creatively solve big market-driven problems? Our team is devoted to the continual pursuit of technical excellence. We will challenge and support you to get the most out of your potential, and expect you to do the same for us.

Sound interesting? Let's talk. Drop me a note - shayne@brainspace.com

REMOTE Senior Ruby Developer Needed!

Hi. We're looking for an awesome Senior Ruby Developer to join our growing team. If you've ever wanted to work for a interesting security startup with great people this is your chance. We're a little different than your average startup so we put together this FAQ.

Q: Ok who are you guys? A: ThreatSim is comprised of some really smart security hackers who were tired of working for large companies. There are people here from Mitre, HP, Fortify, RSA, Verizon Business, Cybertrust, and others. We wanted to do the small company thing and it's worked well for us.

Q: What would I be working on? A: You'd be working on our SaaS service, ThreatSim. It lets our customers send simulated phishing campaigns against themselves. When the user clicks on the simulated phishing link they are immediately shown training. It's an unconventional approach to changing user behavior and it works (hint: we have data).

Essentially we get to think like bad guys and help our customers improve their security. It's an interesting space to say the least. If you ever wanted to learn more about security and cutting-edge attacks, this is the place. We simulate evil AND give our customers data that they can use to protect their organization. You will spend a lot of time thinking "if I was a bad guy I'd..." then have to pivot and think "if I was a security engineer I'd...".

Q: Where is this position located? A: This is a remote position that is open to US residents only located within the US. We understand that not every developer wants to move to SF, NYC, or DC so we let you work wherever you are productive.

Q: What technology to you use? A: ThreatSim is built entirely within Amazon Web Services. Linux, load balancers, auto-scaling, sidekiq, redis, ansible, git, Splunk, HIDS, two-factor auth, disk encryption, and a lot of cool security stuff that you probably aren't used to seeing in a startup.

Q: What skills and qualities are you looking for in a candidate? A: Here's a bullet list:

Ruby on Rails 3.0+ Relational and non-relational databases: MySQL, Redis Background job processors (e.g. Sidekiq) Javascript frameworks (e.g. jQuery, pure JS) Client-side and server side MVC Comfortable with git for version control Continuous integration MS Office (hah right, could you imagine?)

If you are interested, send along a resume to jobs@threatsim.com
