Go international. We're adapting what made us successful in the…

CircleCI (https://circleci.com/jobs) - SF or REMOTE fulltime (in the US) At CircleCI we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue (and funding!). Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation. We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook. SF-local employees have catered lunch every day.

- Frontend Engineer: You'll work on improving the page responsiveness, adding new features and improving the out-of-the-box experience and UX. Our frontend is a single page javascript app, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. We have a lot of interesting design and data-visualization problems that need to be solved, as well as A/B testing, landing page creation and funnel optimization.

- Backend Engineer: Our entire server is written in Clojure. We're looking for candidates with experience in any "weird" language: Clojure, Scheme, CL, Haskell, OCaml, Erlang, Brainfuck, C. Experience w/ Linux & DevOps is also a plus.

Khitchdee (http://www.khitchdee.com) Allahabad, India.

We're building Inck, an app to help first time programmer students think. Inck teaches them a new approach to thinking and communication that incorporates rhythm into the process. Through the same interface, Inck also provides mechanisms for them to engage in Generative Programming to build one of a menu of useful programs. Students choose what to build based on their own requirements for a software agent to help make their PCs more productive. The first prototype of Inck will be released on Jan 14th, 2014 to students at a local high tech institute.

Inck is written in C for the (old) Windows platform. Your work, to start with, will mostly involve programming. Over time, as you internalize the product idea, you will become more involved with product definition and the productization process (higher level stuff).

We pay you a market rate salary and upon successful completion of a six month probation process, we give you 1% equity in the company. We work a 36 hour, six hours a day, six day work week. Our work environment is intense and challenges you to grow. Allahabad is a laid back town with an academic tilt. This position provides you an opportunity to learn a lot of good engineering while at the same time share in the success of a new company. You will be working with a founder, CEO with over 20 years of experience in the industry and excellent academic and professional credentials.

To apply, go through our website, then send me an email at rohit@khitchdee.com. We're very selective in our hiring and haven't hired anyone yet.

We’re looking for a solid full-stack javascript engineer who loves Settlers of Catan, remote development, and can tell the difference between an IPA and a Lager.

Are you concerned at all that your job posting may be unnecessarily gendered? I understand that lots of people enjoy board games and beer, but in America they have a lot of strong associations with male-only culture.

If you would've clicked through and seen that one of the co-founders was female, maybe we could've avoided this comment.
