Highrise (http://appstore.com/highriseyouravatarcommunity) is the leading avatar-based social network on iOS. Every day, over 100,000 people use our application to make friends, keep in touch, decorate avatars and rooms, and chat. We are committed to providing a warm and comforting environment for people from all walks of life in Highrise.

As Lead Backend Developer, you'll be the first non-founder engineer on the backend team. The role is highly independent and will be working closely with our cofounders on all things backend. We have a strong engineering culture with an extremely capable and experienced team. The entire Highrise mobile app was built single handedly by our CTO, with the entire server backend written by our VP Eng. We are looking for an engineer and developer of the same caliber to join our team to take Highrise to the next level.

The role is fast-paced and independent, with a focus on results rather than on direct oversight or management. The role will require learning new tools, languages, algorithms, techniques and much more. Our backend is modern and highly performant. The stack uses Kubernetes, JRuby, Scala, Akka, and MongoDB, so experience with any of these technologies is a plus. To support the next round of growth we plan to migrate the JRuby and Scala codebases to Java, and you will be the lead architect of this new Java backend. In short, this is the perfect role for a self-starting engineer who loves to solve challenging problems in a fast-paced environment.

Indio | San Francisco | ONSITE | Full-time | Lead Frontend Engineer

Indio (http://www.useindio.com) is getting way too many customers and we need some team members to help us handle the bountiful harvest!

We're really looking for a talented lead front-end engineer!

What we're looking for:

- You’re ready to help lead front-end development for our broker product

- You’ve played with all the major JS frameworks and can debate React vs Angular for hours

- You enjoy learning about how customers use what you build just as much as figuring out how to architect it

- You’re interested in joining a seed stage company that’s experiencing rapid growth and needs help keeping it all under control

- You live in the Bay area or want to move here soon

We’re an insure tech startup… but we’re trying a different twist than the standard “repackage an insurance product for millennials with sweet marketing”.

You see.. we really like the veterans. The insurance brokers who have been in this industry for years and are now seeing insure tech flip their world upside down. These brokers know more about insurance than any of us could ever hope…but they need our help!

They’re behind the times and desperately looking for solutions that allow them to compete again!.We’re building the software that can turn any existing insurance broker into a tech savvy company. We’ve helped insurance agencies of all sizes earn their stripes in the insure tech world by giving them powerful platforms they can use to give their clients a better experience.

And just like our customers, we’re veterans too! Our team has prior acquisitions under our belt and we’re hungry for more. We’re YC and 500 Startups alumnus, and have a tech first culture.

We love delighting our customers and know you will too. Come on board and let’s superpower the insurance world!

Janelia Research Campus | Wash DC (Ashburn, VA) | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://goo.gl/ETkrHZ

Janelia (http://www.janelia.org) is looking for two software developers — one concentrating on graphics, the other working mostly on front-end science viz / analysis apps (JS, python). It’s a truly unique environment 15 min north of Dulles. I’d describe it as a Googleplex focused on discovering how the brain works. It's funded by the non-profit Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which has a $18 billion endowment.

Join us in creating a delightful consumer podcast listening experience that is scalable, beautiful and of the highest quality. We want to create something that people love and recommend to their friends. We're looking for someone to join our team working on our Website and APIs. You'll have the opportunity to influence the technical and product decisions at a seed stage company that's rethinking radio. You'll work directly with members of the founding team, and add your own expertise to the conversation. You'll shape the future of podcasts by helping to build an exceptional listening experience for our apps and on the web. We currently have a mix of Rails, AWS Lambda (using Node), Postgres, and ElasticSearch on the backend, and React, CSS, HTML, XML, and some XSLT for good measure on the frontend. Everything our stack does is important, but none of it is precious. We're looking to pick up some serious speed in the coming months.

We're only set up to handle employees in the US right now, but will try to work something out for an exceptional candidate.
