PubNub - http://www.pubnub.com/ - San Francisco, CA

In the future, we will all be speaking Bidirectional JSON.

Become the core part of the largest global real-time network -- the network one that is transacting billions of signals. Our mission is to create the fabric that brings us (people of the net) into the next singularity, a point in time at which humans become ineffective. That of course does not mean our society is lost, as in a dystopian view… Rather, think of this opportunity as an effort to achieve a forever-vacation for everyone for the rest of time creating unlimited happiness; and through the power of PubNub we'll convert your typical adventure into to living stardust, where your consciousness will be jettisoned into the infinite cosmos, in an infinite journey of dimensional wonder, and discovery!!!!!

That'd be pretty great as long as we do it in a good way, right? Can you help us achieve this? We need next gen developers who are good at being remarkably insightful into the new future of network paths, BGP routes, TCP packets and Earth Based Topologies and Orchestrations.

Here is our jobs link: http://www.pubnub.com/jobs

We're also keeping an eye on the footprint of data that flows through PubNub, and we have a massively parallel MapReduce system written in Python/PyPy/Gevent/HLL which can process massive amounts of data in a few moments. Yah we use it for big brother type stuff but also for your metering data too so we can bill you.

More onto the future of things to come, we've created essentially the scaffolding which brings us the necessary tooling to create the next singularity. But we still have more to do and we need your help to push us further into future of connectivity. Device-to-device communication is key, and JSON is our language. Also something new is on the way that has been unannounced which kinda annihilates most hindrances for out ultimate goal.

Opower

Energy Efficiency. Help people save money at home. Help utilities save money by generating less expensive energy. Take dirty power generators off the grid.

We do it by sending digestable data and using the right language on reports.

We're looking for all sorts of positions, but I work in engineering. Looking for people interested in building out our infrastructure - there's a portion like building a private AWS, building services and frameworks for other developers, and setting up automation to scale our technical operations.

I'm specifically on the core platform team. Team is currently 2 people serving 50+ other developers. Email me for questions or details.

SpaceX - Los Angeles, CA http://www.spacex.com/careers We seek to accelerate the course of human history by developing the technologies necessary for multi-planetary civilization. We build rockets and spacecraft from the ground up, utilizing much of our own electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft are among the most ambitious engineering systems in…

If you'd like to apply to SpaceX go through another recruiter. I applied through Ryan a while back. He was unprofessional and kept getting mixed up with the schedule. In the end I did 6+ hours of phone interviews and a 4 hour coding test. I sent in my results and was completely ignored. No feedback, no response to my inquiries. Honestly one of the most insulting things that's ever happed to me. Go on Linkedin, SpaceX…

Hi Ninjay,

My apologies for not getting back to you and your candidate experience. This is deeply regrettable and something I would like to apologize for over the phone. Can you please e-mail me when you have a chance? I would like to get more information if possible so I can figure out where I dropped the ball.

Sincerely, Ryan

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for adding remote status. Everybody here is supposed to do that, but few do.

Actually, they should add R-MOTE only if it's true. If everyone puts "r-mote" or "no r-mote" then ctrl-f "r-mote" is useless. Edited to not exacerbate the problem

In my experience, when NO R-MOTE is not mentioned explicitly, it usually means that it is negotiable.
