Cambridge, MA - CustomMade (http://www.custommade.com/) INTERN, REMOTE (possibly), H1B (possibly, I'm their first one!)

Full-time django / python dev, likely onsite, possible remote. Also looking for frontend guys who know backbone / jquery et al. Boilerplate here: http://www.custommade.com/careers/

We're a two-sided marketplace that does matchmaking between professional artisans / craftsmen and buyers. You post your dreams, we find someone to make it real. People come up with some crazy ideas like a custom made quidditch set / proposal ring: http://blog.custommade.com/portfolio/a-very-harry-potter-pro...

We're funded by Google Ventures and a ton of others: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/custommade-ventures So paying you well is not an issue.

We're right at the point where all the graphs are hockey-stick shaped and we're breaking our own records every week. Of course, with that comes scaling challenges. But it's all part of the fun.

We have a great team and a great environment that focuses on customers and product development. I get to collaborate with product / UX / support people day to day to build a product that meets a real business need, and makes everyone happy. But when I just need to bang out some code, people leave me alone.

You're a hacker / startup veteran who has pushed code to production innumerable times, and doesn't cringe at the prospect of collaborating with a team of non-techies daily. You know the modern web stack well, and specialize in at least one part of it.

Get in touch with me at mali -at- custommade dotkom

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I must say the entry level training is also fantastic and the internships good fun, whilst (of course) challenging.

Glad to hear you had a good time. For anyone wondering, I think internship app deadline has passed already for this summer -- I'll mention internships as well when the fall season rolls around.

Ah shucks. If you find anything to the contrary, I'd love to hear from you! If not, next summer it shall be.

Working as a software engineer at a non-tech company would be a refreshing change of pace for a lot of people in tech. Could you elaborate a bit more on what exactly an engineer would do on a daily basis and what the size of the team currently is?

San Francisco, CA Lead Engineer (RoR)

Doubleup.com (http://www.doubleup.com)

We're online sports games of skill that allow you to play for money: play short-term fantasy contests, win cash tonight. Suffice it to say that this is a super hot space, so if you like sports and making money, this could be the place for you.

We're built on RoR, founded by highly successful internet marketers (as in, tens of millions of users and hundreds of millions of dollars), and we have a ridiculously nice office in downtown SF with a sky high view of the Bay and all three bridges.

Seed round secured. The original engineering team has built the basic product but is staying on with our incubator, and we now need a tech lead to join DoubleUp for an external funding round and spin off with the core team as a co-founding CTO.

Reach out to russ @ doubleup.com after checking out our site, and let me know where you'd like to fit in.
