Epoxy (http://epoxy.tv) in Venice, CA (Los Angeles; full time ideal, intern, remote and h1b considered)

Senior Full-Stack Engineer: Rails, Node.js and more

Dev Ops contractor

http://epoxy.tv/jobs

Epoxy builds exceptional software for online video creators and viewers. Our tools help YouTubers and networks optimize their businesses and deepen the relationship with their audience. Our channel experiences provide viewers with new ways to connect with and experience the content they love.

Epoxy was founded by designers, engineers and entrepreneurs who are passionate about product and solving problems. Our backgrounds include Stanford, Brown, IDEO, Adobe, Mixpanel, Google/YouTube and Team Downey.

There are a number of senior engineering positions we'd like to hire for specifically, but we're absolutely interested in hiring smart people who don't exactly fit any of those particular positions. In general, we look for:

* BS or MS in Computer Science, a related degree from a top-tier program or the equivalent experience and mastery in industry

* Substantial real-world engineering experience with products shipped

* Strong, well articulated opinions on product design and engineering issues along with genuine flexibility and enthusiasm for approaches other than your own

* Preference for fast-moving markets, products, teams and the sometimes-ambiguous and fickle nature of early-stage startups

* High personal value on culture and culture fit in a job

* Deep sense of personal product ownership and long-term interest in developing technical and soft skills

We're building on a thoroughly modern stack including Ruby on Rails, node.js, Backbone.js, MongoDB, and friends. Sound like something for you? Check out more complete descriptions at http://epoxy.tv/jobs or drop us a line at jobs@epoxy.tv. Thanks!

New York, NY - Fulltime

Hiring: FE Engineer & Head of Marketing/Biz-dev

iknow.io is a data-driven knowledge sharing community for curious people.

We take raw data about Movies, Music, Sports, Economics, Politics and more and make it possible for regular people to analyze and extract useful information from it. We also enable them to browse, share and discuss the fascinating insights they discover with one another.

While there are mountains of raw data out there, only scientists and programmers can currently make any real use of it. Our mission is to make that data accessible and useful to everyone.

Our team has extensive experience working with large, complex data problems and in building and nurturing online communities.

We are currently a team of 4 people, and are looking to add 2 more talented individuals to the mix immediately.

1) FE Engineer: You have a great design sense and some serious engineering skills. You think the famous quote, "there are only two hard things in computer science, cache invalidation and naming things" is spot on. Whenever you're browsing the web, you're constantly noticing things that could be tweaked and improved. You're a pragmatist who's ok with ignoring IE6 users. You've built complex, popular web-based applications before. You want to join an early stage startup where you can quickly prove yourself and become the FE engineering lead.

Our FE Stack includes python (django), javascript (jquery, backbone), html and css. Deep familiarity with all of these is a big plus, but not necessarily required. Experience with mobile app development is also a plus.

2) Head of Marketing & Business Development: You're a natural born deal maker. When you throw a party, too many people show up. You know how to build, execute and analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. Bloggers and reporters know you, and love you. You believe product design and marketing are one and the same. You're ready to join an extremely talented product & engineering team and show them that everything they thought they knew about how to really promote and grow a new site from the ground-up is wrong.

If you fit the bill for either of these positions, and you think what we're working on sounds intriguing, then we'd love to hear from you at jobs@iknow.io. Thanks!

Note to employers: this is how a job posting should read. Sufficient detail, makes you want to work for them, scares you into sending your resume, then is soft and sweet with the benefits. And the humor is an added bonus. I read this in the movie narrator voice, "In a world...."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any possibility of the relaxing the US citizen requirement in the future?

I really don't think it's up to them unfortunately. As a non-US student looking to apply for one of their internships, I was burned by that too. The regulation in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_R...

In that article under "Exemptions and Treaties" [1], it says that Canada is exempt. Does that mean Canadians can work at SpaceX?
