Do you offer an internship program over the Summer?

No - we don't have any formal internship program, but we've brought interns in occasionally, so feel free to introduce yourself via careers@desmos.com

When we've done that, we're generally looking for people who can contribute as an equal member of the team, and we don't have much in the way of formal support for interns, so we can provide a better experience for final-year internships than for first work experience situations.

SparX is a small engineering team focused on applying online machine learning and predictive modeling to eCommerce (impacting a 24 billion dollar business).

Our stack is 100% Clojure, servicing 50 million users with a 1ms SLA. We apply engineering and data science to difficult problems such as dynamic pricing, shipping estimations, personalized emails, and multi-variate testing. We are always looking for talent in data-science, engineering and dev-ops. Bonus points if you can bridge 2 of these together. We love people with strong fundamentals who can dive deep.

We're a small team, so you will have an opportunity for a high-impact role, targeting over 50 million users. But our best perk is our colleagues: a diverse and extremely talented team of seasoned engineers and data-scientists.

We are located in San Mateo, walking distance from the Cal-Train station.

Real HQ, Junior Controller, REMOTE

Real HQ is the company behind Agent Pronto https://agentpronto.com/. We help home buyers and sellers find awesome real estate agents in their area. We’re four years old and growing quickly.

What We Believe We started this business with inspiration from Seth Godin and 37signals. We keep our fires going with inspiration from Frank Chimero, The National, Louis CK, and Warren Buffett.

We also have some Clubhouse Rulez to help guide us in our work:

-We will be artists. -We will asynchronously overshare. -We will work hard, but we won’t work long. -We will not create emergencies because we know that most often, they are created. -We will make things beautiful and profitable. We will even make beautiful more profitable. -We will speak to customers, partners and co-workers like a friend, not a corporate robot. -We will make ourselves better so we can make the world better. -And we will have a fucking blast doing it.

Work Anywhere We’re looking for people who live in the United States. Once hired, you’ll have the flexibility to work from anywhere. If working from home in your pajamas sounds like fun, give that a shot. Or you might be interested in checking out a coworking space in your area. You can even travel to exotic lands like Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga, or Seattle! Location is irrelevant as long as you do your job and you do it well.

If Real HQ had a home, it would probably be Austin, Texas. But we have folks who live in big cities like Kansas City, Chicago, and Portland and not-so-big cities like Bozeman, Lewis Center, and Erie. Some of us travel while we work. Ryan managed accounts and did yoga in a Berlin coworking space. Kym worked from a castle in San Juan. Peter pushed code from planes, trains, and a 2010 Hyundai Elantra.

Last year, our team got together for a weeklong retreat in the artfully-minded desert town of Marfa, TX. This year, we opted for the Rocky Mountains and headed to Boulder, CO.

Think You’re a Good Fit? Great, because we’re hiring! Available positions are listed below.

Don’t see a role that’s a good fit? Get in touch with us anyway. We’re good at finding a place for smart, passionate people who are excited about what we’re doing and want to help us do it even better.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> every year we take the company overseas for a month (on your own dime, sorry) and work incredibly hard while having a ton of fun. "On your own dime" sounds terrible. Is it optional?

it's terribly ironic that a company that facilitates reimbursements doesn't reimburse for travel on behalf of the company :P

Heh, as mentioned, the trip is optional. And to clarify, we do cover airfare and some lodging -- but people have wildly different preferences when it comes to food and lodging overall (eg, some people prefer to splurge on one and skimp on the other) so we just try to pay well and allow people to make their own decisions as to how to spend it.
