#42Affine Systems is a venture-backed startup looking for a Python programmer in San Francisco.
Our core technology is a suite of computer vision algorithms (e.g., face recognition) for analyzing video that we have developed over the past few years. We use our vision platform to ingest and scan videos from sites like Youtube and Metacafe that are available for advertising and sell data about the video contents to advertisers who use it to build and optimize their online video campaigns.
We are working with the major ad agencies and with several top brands. The reception to our service has been very enthusiastic because online video advertising is exploding and yet there are few tools available for advertisers to target their campaigns or even know what sorts of videos they are running against. This is especially a pain point for major brands because they are generally very sensitive about what sorts of content show up next to their ad.
We are looking for an engineer to take leadership on the (primarily Python) platform built around our (primarily C++) vision code. The platform runs on Debian Linux and other open source software and is responsible for:
* Ingesting videos and metadata from publishers
* Interfacing with the vision code to process the videos and receive the results
* Storing results in MySQL (or other data stores as appropriate)
* Distributing and coordinating the above on Amazon EC2
* Maintaining our API used by clients to query for video data
* Interacting with APIs of third-party partners as needed
This platform is the backbone of our company, so we are hoping to find someone dedicated to building solid code who can make solid technical decisions.
If this sounds exciting to you, please email me at bobby@affinesystems.com
Thanks.

#43C/C++/Java/Erlang/Haskell/Python Devs - Chicago, USA We're looking for smart people to help at an established high frequency trading shop. We have a few positions open, from latency critical stuff that must be done in C/C++/Haskell, to 'offline' data crunching which is more Java/Python/Erlang/etc. Plus a bunch of other stuff in everything in between. Frankly, our code is probably faster and deals with 'bigger' data t…
Are you sure that there is no misunderstanding - critical stuff in Haskell and other stuff in Erlang? Not a reverse pair? ^_^

Whether or not that's a joke I laughed out loud.

Yah, we're working on it. More inventory will definitely be key. We'll be doing some marketing starting next week to get the word out about the $500 incentive we'll pay people for listing their apartments. In the meantime, if you let me know what you're looking for I'd be happy to keep an eye out and let you know first thing when something matching gets posted.

#50Software Engineer @ Foursquare - New York, USA
We have a list of project ideas a mile long, and not enough engineers to get them done. Join us and help out! There are all sorts of things you could help us with. If you like working deep in the stack, you could help us scale our architecture to deal with our rapidly growing (30% a month) user base. If you're more passionate about things a bit closer to the surface, we're making huge improvements to the usability, look and feel of the website. If you're a little bit of both, help us bring our feature ideas (and your own!) off the whiteboard and into reality. We push new versions of the website and API multiple times a week, so it won't take long to get your work out in front of our millions of users.
Our ideal candidate will be comfortable in a fluid start-up environment and will bring an energetic, fun and creative approach to their work. You have experience building real products in the real world from the ground up. Your teammates see you as a programming rock star, and go to you with their toughest problems. You're comfortable jumping in the deep end, learning new skills on a bleeding edge platform (Scala, Lift, and MongoDB), and pushing out tons of high quality work fast.
This job will be based in our brand-new headquarters in the East Village of New York City. We offer a competitive compensation package including equity options for all employees.
