ok, but what on earth do you do? Your site is just as details free as your post

Don't bother, they are just yet another resume black hole.

@zerr : We have hired our best engineers here. We try to be diligent about our responses to resumes submitted. You should at least get an automatic "Thank you for Applying" from the jobsite. Please let us know if you didn't.

Anyway looks like we didn't respond to your posting on HN about working from Europe for the July edition of Who is hiring. As a hardware startup we currently would like to be under one roof. Hopefully in the future we can bring on remote employees and will post on HN saying so.

Thanks.

San Francisco/CA, New York/NY, London/UK Remote/Re-location OK, Full-time

Whitetruffle.com is a game-changing recruiting platform that matches software engineers and UX/designers to great tech jobs. We’re looking for more engineers to join our family to help refine and enchance our proprietary matching algorithm, improve our UI, and lead the development of our mobile app. We have 2500+ companies like Pebble, Asana, Path, Evernote, Optimizely, Delve News, etc. who use Whitetruffle to source talent to build out their teams. The popularity of the platform stems from the fact that candidate contact info remains anonymous until both parties agree to the match, and you're introduced directly to the in-house hiring source (founders, CTOs, HR lead) so it's fast without any spam. We're scaling quickly and need to keep up with our growth. If you have a passion for disruptive products and like coding, fast releases, cool designs, and being part of an energetic and smart team, you’d be a good match. Our office is based in the SoMA area of San Francisco, California, close to all transportation hubs and freeways.

Work style - “work whenever, wherever” Workflow: Weekly meeting over IRC every Monday morning. Once a week team lunch brings everyone together to talk about the product, brainstorm new ideas, or share their crazy weekend stories. On Tuesdays we have a 1 hour product meeting over Google Hangout. We're on IRC all the time. Push Process: Push to master whenever you want, unit tests run automatically and are hooked up to IRC; push to prod whenever you want as long as unit tests pass. QA on your own. It’s OK if you break the site from time to time, we like taking risks and prefer to push code.

Job openings: 1. Sr. Software Engineer (Machine Learning, MySQL, Python or Ruby, API experience a plus) 2. Engineering Director/Manager (Management, Python, Ruby, Java, MySQL, API) 3. Seasoned UI Engineer (CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, jQuery, Python or Ruby) 4. Mobile Engineer (iOS, Obj-C, Android, Java)

90% of our engineers were hired using our own product. For all jobs, register (build your profile) at http://www.whitetruffle.com/company/whitetruffle. If you’re a good match, we’ll contact you.

Good to hear actual human response from your company. No, I didn't receive any automatic reply. I emailed to your stdin address.

Anyway, all the best for now, and hope you add REM0TE to your future postings.

CloudfindHQ a start up based in Bath, SouthWest UK

http://cloudfindhq.com/

Looking for Django/Python/Web developers As well as anyone with salesforce and machine learning experience.

---- Currently a small team, just got some major funding and looking to expand.

Doing exciting stuff with natural language processing. To change the way people use the cloud

--- Description from job advert

As a key member of our growing team, you will be critical to the success of our company, working closely with the two founders, who have developed the beta.

Your role will involve technical architecture, software design, development (frontend, web app and data analysis), automated testing, and deployment.

Current Stack: Python, Django, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, Linux and EC2. We develop on Mac with vim/PyCharm, Git, and Linux VMs (and of course you can choose your own IDE).

Product: The backend integrates with REST APIs for cloud storage, applying advanced algorithms to determine relevant tags that make sense to our users. Our UI uses responsive design for HTML5 browsers and we will expand to mobile apps and HTML5-centric desktop apps.

You will be involved in choosing the best available technologies as required, possibly including Redis, Celery, RabbitMQ, WebSockets, Sass/Less, JavaScript frameworks, and CoffeeScript.

We’re also interested in developers with experience of the Salesforce Force.com platform, including Apex/Visualforce as well as off-platform integration via REST/SOAP APIs. We don’t require Python experience if you fit this profile, as long as you are keen to learn Python.

One unique aspect of this role is the option to move into advanced algorithm development, working with specialist developers and our mathematician/CEO. Our incremental analysis backend uses algorithms such as natural language processing, machine learning, etc to improve our auto-tagging performance, while also staying CPU and I/O efficient so that new files are indexed ASAP. (However, we are also interested in pure web app developers!)

This is a chance to create a world-changing web app with cutting edge technologies, without moving to Silicon Valley.

RED TETTEMER O'CONNELL + PARTNERS

Brooklyn / NYC / Philadelphia / LA

RTO+P is a full-service ad shop based in Philadelphia. Last month, we won Ad Age's "Small Agency of the Year (11-75 Employees)" award. We serve clients like Under Armour, NBC Universal, Planet Fitness and more. From a tech standpoint: we focus on the speed and quality of our work, and embrace bleeding-edge techniques and philosophies wherever we can.

We're looking for: Tech Lead, Lead/senior Rails engineer, Senior front-end developer, and more. We're approaching hiring with a "smart people first, skills second" mindset, so get at us. Agency experience is not required.

Philly people: Welcome to your new favorite place to be. The office in Philly is rad beyond description - built into the former penthouse apartment of John Wanamaker, directly next to Philly's City Hall, and loaded with more quirk and haberdash than you'll likely ever be able to fully observe. This is the beating heart of our agency. We've got an impressively sized (and growing) tech team and we're working on creating and building the best god-damned websites, apps, and experiments the world's ever seen. Seeking all positions.

Brooklyn/NYC people: This summer we opened a tech-focused outpost in DUMBO, Brooklyn. We're still building the BK team and are seeking developers, product people, and tech-centric designers. A small amount of travel can be expected, mainly to Philadelphia every few weeks (costs fully covered).

LA people: We just opened a killer office in Venice. We're looking to fill this office out as a mini-agency within the agency, capable of both full autonomy and working as part of the larger agency machine. Seeking all positions.

Please contact me at interactivejobs@redtettemer.com - attach your resume (required) and anything else to impress (code samples, portfolio, side project link, etc.).
