#393We're open to meeting potential INTERNs, but this job requires a full-time on-site (not REMOTE) commitment. We have no experience with H1B, but would be open to it for the right person. Cutting to the chase:
BAGGU (baggu.com) is looking for a well-rounded developer to help us continue to build web-based software tools at our studio in San Francisco.
It may seem out of place on HN since we're not VC funded, and we make physical products — but technology has been a big part of BAGGU since the beginning. Our website, content management and ordering systems are developed internally. There is a constant dialogue between designers and developers. We build things that suit our needs, and solve problems quickly. Product design, graphic design, photography and interactive all happen in-house. We are a small, close-knit team. It’s a fun and collaborative environment.
Our stack is composed of Node.js, Redis and CouchDB on the backend, with Backbone, JQuery and Less (compiled and minified, of course) on the client. Most of our JavaScript is written in CoffeeScript. We use Git and are deployed on Amazon infrastructure. We love building things from scratch, and we’d love to find someone who could lead us toward releasing our tools as open source.
Familiarity with components of our stack is important, but most important is that you are disciplined, self-motivated, and fit well into a collaborative creative environment. We’re happy to take on someone technically adept who can learn quickly. You don’t need a CS degree, but you need to both eagerly solve problems that are thrown at you and lead the development of larger projects.
To give you a feel for it, these are some examples of things you could be working on: - You figure out that ordering system doesn’t seem to be consuming orders via Redis fast enough. Time to get in there and figure out why. - It would be convenient if wholesale customers had a portal they could use to process payment. Lay out a roadmap for making this happen, then impliment. - View rendering on the client is sometimes too slow. Explore some options for server-sided rendering with some quick mock-ups so we can evaluate a timeframe for making it happen.
We are a small business that values a healthy work life balance. There’s plenty to do, but we prefer to get it done at a consistent pace. No weekends and very rare late nights.
Qualified applicants will submit a CV and cover letter that detail their relevant experience and related projects. Get in touch with it@baggu.com

If you're a Web Application Developer who likes to build and ship; values freedom, flexibility, and empowerment; loves working with the best tools; values working alongside supportive people who care about and respect you; gets jazzed by the notion that your work will have an immediate, visible, and significant impact on the health of the business; longs for an opportunity to be a part of an award-winning work environment where friendliness is a core requirement for every role, and everyone is focused on measurable results; and is awesome; then we would like to speak with you about joining our team.
We're looking for Web Application Developers who have 10,000+ hours of PHP, PHP frameworks, and high-performance web applications; a friendly disposition, a love of learning, and an interest in building great products for real customers; and a readiness to immediately begin building cool new stuff from the ground up.
GuildQuality - http://www.guildquality.com - is a profitable, fast-growing SaaS business that helps the very best homebuilders, remodelers, and home improvement contractors in North America deliver an exceptional customer experience. Our clients (we call them "Guildmembers") are small and mid-sized companies, representing a “best of the best” in the residential real estate and construction industry.
Ours is a big market and it’s getting bigger: we're squarely at the intersection of reputation, real estate, and home improvement. We're doing tons of great stuff in this space, and we'd like to have more wonderful people on the team to help us accelerate our pace of innovation.
About our work environment, culture, and benefits: • We have 24 full-time, committed, friendly, and resourceful people on our team. • Most of our team works here in our Midtown Atlanta office, and about 10 people work remotely. • We're profitable and growing rapidly. • We dig things like craftsmanship, design, and data. • We have a Results Oriented Work Environment (ROWE). • We don't monitor sick days or vacation days. When someone needs time off, they take it. • We have very few meetings, but lots of communication. • People work from wherever and whenever they're most productive. • We're open-book. That means everyone has a clear understanding of how the business is performing. • Employment benefits include great health insurance, long term disability insurance, and life insurance. • The company matches SIMPLE IRA contributions, up to 3% of salary. • We have excellent retreats, where we roll up our sleaves and everyone digs into strategizing about the future of the company, and then we throw down and have a great time. • Every single person in the company moves our needle. We have no dead weight getting in the way, no negative attitudes bringing people down, and no bureaucracy dragging on our progress. • Regardless of the job description and requisite skills, we only hire folks who are friendly, committed, and resourceful. No prima donnas, no personal agendas, no politics – just a focus on doing great work. • In September, the Atlanta Business Chronicle rated GuildQuality among the Top 5 Best Places to Work in Atlanta.
Here's a brief talk I gave about how we work at GuildQuality: http://geoffreygraham.com/2013/12/29/empowerment-trust-and-f...
If you think you might be a fit, we would like to speak with you. Email us at careers@guildquality.com, and include whatever details you think convey a good picture of who you are and what you’ve done. Thanks!

#398Help cure cancer by building webapps.
At CTIG, we sequence the DNA of cancer tumors to recommend the right therapy for that tumor's specific DNA mutations. Patients and their oncologists use our analyses to help make decisions about how to treat their cancer. With us, you'd help build the systems that doctors and patients use to access and interpret our results, and work on the systems we use to manage our internal processes.
It's really important that our users (patients and doctors) be able to understand the results we're giving back to them. So we're looking for someone who can translate our analyses into web pages that are clear, simple, and well-designed. That makes front-end experience and an eye for aesthetics important, but you'll be working on the backend as well.
Our current web apps are built using:
* Scala, with the Play framework
* Python, with Django and Flask
* Javascript, with Angular.js and D3
* HTML/CSS/LESS with Bootstrap
* Postgres
It's great if you're familiar with those, but general web dev skill and the ability to pick up new tools and technologies is more important. Our other systems also use R, and we're experimenting with the Julia language, so if you're looking to work with interesting technology then you'll find kindred spirits here.
CTIG is located in Mission Bay in San Francisco, across the street from the UCSF campus here. We're a very interdisciplinary group, with bioinformaticians and computational biologists from UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, and UCSF; biologists from UCSF, and physicians from Harvard Medical School. Some of us have PhDs, some of us have MDs, and some of us are college dropouts; we're not credentialists, but we do have strong backgrounds in our respective fields. It's a small team with 6 programmers, so you'd be a core contributor and you'd help set our technical direction.
We're very serious about cancer, but pretty laid-back otherwise; office discussions range from the nitty-gritty details of molecular biology and machine learning to re-enactments of South Park episodes.
