* Full-stack Ruby Engineer: You should possess equal parts talent and determination. You’re a “maker” and a generalist, stoked to execute product vision. Front-end, back-end, you take big problems and turn them into code.

* Designer/Front-end Dev: This isn't an opportunity to just make things pretty or make pretty things (although we'd like some of that too!). Help us think through ways communities can reach and engage members.

Measur3D is looking for a physical simulation programer. Our team is actively seeking an experienced Physical Simulation Programer to be the first hire for our Fabric Simulation Team. The Programmer will be responsible for implementing a production version of a high performance fabric model described in paper1 (http://graphics.berkeley.edu/papers/Wang-DDE-2011-08/Wang-DD...) & paper2 (http://graphics.berkeley.edu/papers/Narain-AAR-2012-11/Narai...). You will be starting with a 'research code' implementation of the fabric model and be directly working with the people who created the model. The fabric simulation will be implemented in C++ and must be reliable and performant. The candidate will have strong C++ (or C) experience as well as a strong math background. Ideally, the candidate will have experience with physical simulation and graphics algorithms. Because the person who created model is on member of our team, we believe a candiate who loves to code and has a strong math background can be highly successful in this role.

Responsibilities: Implement physics based fabric simulation in C++ Interact with team to design improvements and optimizations to the current model

Required Skills: C++ or C experience and knowledge of object oriented programing - show via previous success in a large project. Strong Math background - at the level of BS in Math, Applied Math, or Physics - must be comfortably implementing algorithms. Strong Linux development experience: git, gdb, ldd, cmake/make, vim/emacs etc. Discipline and determination to resolve complex problems, reformat code, debug, and optimize. Enjoys working with smart people on detailed technical problems.

Desired Skills: Experience with Numerical methods, OpenMP, SSE.

If you have a familiarity with data science, there are many companies looking for people with experience in this field to build out their teams. I went to a meeting of data science professionals recently and they outlined some of what they're looking for, and I made a board on it if you'd like to look at it. http://www.verious.com/board/AKumar/the-hive-a-b-testing-inf...
