Brilliant Code Inc. | Co-Founder/CTO | Vancouver, Canada | REMOTE http://saasful.com

What: Saasful.com is a "SaaS as a Service". Our vision is to help individual developers get to the market quickly and become successful.

Why: I used to struggle building & running a SaaS business. I've gained a good insight to what works & what doesn't work. It's a never ending learning process and I want to share that passion and knowledge with people like me.

How: Removing all the pain points around non-product components such as billing, design/content changes. Supporting SaaS founders in anyway we can to make them more money.

Who: I did software development for 4 years and struck out on my own to launch a data harvesting SaaS with paying customers. I've transitioned out of that starting last year and have been pursuing new ideas since then and Saasful was born out of that process.

Where: Vancouver, BC. It'd be great if we could grab coffee in downtown but chatting over skype is fine too, hence REMOTE.

Needs: Somebody to work with me to eventually own the product side and lead the remote development team. More importantly, someone who can also function as a co-founder, an equal partner with a common vision.

Contact: Please let me know your thoughts by emailing hi@saasful and let's figure out next steps together.

Thank you for reading!

Yammer (Microsoft) | Software Engineer | San Francisco, Seattle | VISA https://careers.microsoft.com/yammer

Hiring all roles (mobile, front end, java services, infrastructure) in San Francisco and Seattle.

Yammer's mission has always been to connect people with information to enable better, faster decisions. We believe effective communication involves more than chat rooms (though we use those too!). A big part of the mission I enjoy is that we are sparking cultural changes in our customers; to become transparent workplaces, with fewer silos and greater connections across the org chart from left to right and bottom to top.

Since winning TechCrunch in 2008 our growth has been exponential year over year. Over the last 4 years as a part of the Microsoft Office 365 suite, we've been quietly tying our systems together with the O365 fabric while continuing to improve the experience using our tried-and-true data-driven methods. We know everything we ship has an impact, and precisely how much.

We create with vim, SublimeText, IntelliJ, and GitHub; run on Macs and Ubuntu; write Swift & ObjC, Java (Dropwizard), Python, and Ruby on Rails; manage PostgreSQL, HBase, RabbitMQ, Memcache, HAProxy, ElasticSearch, Kafka, Storm, Kibana, and Vertica clusters at scale; and automate using Puppet, Docker, Mesos, Marathon and Azure across physical data center & cloud environments.

We have two floors in the "Twitter building" at 10th and Market in San Francisco, where we work next to the Outlook Mobile, MileIQ, Volumetrix, and other acquired startup teams. It's a fantastic, open, creative space.

If San Francisco isn't your thing, we have a large sibling team in Seattle (Redmond). We're hiring for all roles in both locations!

Microsoft pays very competitively, invests in employees, and is highly supportive of a diverse and respectful workplace. It's a startup atmosphere with the stability and maturity of a large company, which makes it a perfect balance for me.

If you have questions about a role I'd be happy to talk over email or in person. (I've been at Yammer for 7 years.)

People.ai, Inc. | Sr. Software Engineer | SF | ONSITE | https://people.ai

Y Combinator-Backed People.ai is Hiring Engineers to Help Us Build AI for Better Team Management

People don’t quit their jobs, they quit their managers. Everyone has had a manager that makes them not want to come to work. Everyone has had a manager who regularly forces their team to chase their own tail doing meaningless work.

Why? Because most managers manage their teams blindly. They don't hire, coach and promote based on data. Instead, they make decisions based on their gut, either because they don’t have the data to make better decisions or because they don’t know how to make sense out of it.

Not anymore. At People.ai we’re helping managers make decisions about their team based on data, not intuition.

We’re starting with sales teams because they’re a particularly notorious black box. No manager today can definitively say what makes a “top performer” do better than a “low performer.” People.ai is solving that by making sales transparent and building the world’s first AI for managing sales teams.

We have a 10+ person team and are actively looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us. Our team needs someone with full-stack/backend development experience as well as a deep background in Python, Linux, AWS, REST APIs and machine learning. Salesforce API experience is a plus!

This isn’t just another job. Your input will be incredibly important as we’re currently shifting from to a microservices architecture. You’ll have an opportunity to make a major impact on a number of our microservices and ML/big data infrastructure as we are turning our MVP into a massively scalable product.

We offer a competitive salary with equity, a cool company culture, lunches and free snacks and drinks. At this time we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.

People.ai is located within walking distance of Caltrain in San Francisco.

Join us as we work towards quantifying people management!
