Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles area)

TRUECar.com - TrueCar shows consumers how much people actually paid for a particular new car in their area, then guides them to dealers we've certified. When someone buys from a dealer we've sent them to, we get paid. We already have solid revenues, are well funded and and are growing rapidly. We need lots of technical talent to help us grow.

* JAVA - We are looking for several talented Java developers and architects to design and build the technology used to power our production websites, APIs, widgets, and internal tools. This is a chance for you to join a growing company and build something that's going to scale to support millions of users/visitors and provide them with all kinds of data.

* Front End - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. Help build out our main site and our partner sites.

* Senior .NET Developer - You should have extensive experience building .Net applications using C#. Our user interfaces are web-based, so ASP.NET MVC, JQuery, and CSS are important. We use SQL Server heavily, so you should read, write and debug enterprise-grade SQL. Strength in developing applications using ASP.NET MVC and modern JavaScript frameworks.

* Python/Django - Our main site is in Django, which means we need serious talent to help it scale and expand as we continue to grow. Plus, you'll get to work with me.

* Senior Systems Engineers - Got Linux? Keep our 200+ servers going strong.

* Front End - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. Help build out our main site and our partner sites.

* QA engineers - More software, more bugs. Help us find them.

* We also have some non-technical openings for senior positions in marketing, customer retention, HR, finance and accounting. Email me for details.

My story - moved from Atlanta all the way out to Santa Monica after stopping by the TrueCar booth at PyCon 2011. I started here three month ago and love it. I'm working with a great team that knows how to develop software and for management who seems to "get it" with regards to software developers.

The Python team in an open workspace that has a view of the ocean (http://picplz.com/user/dabent/pic/tpc4v/), and all the Santa Monica offices are blocks from the beach. They have great benefits, including company equity, 100% paid family medical, dental, vision, and a healthy 401k. They also offer gym membership reimbursement ($50 a month), 12 holidays, career training, 3 weeks PTO and have a kitchen stocked with fruit, snacks and such. I've honestly never had a job this good. If you're interested, send me your resume. My email is in my profile.

Toronto, ON. Full time.

G Adventures is a technology-driven adventure travel company in downtown Toronto, and we're looking to expand our software engineering team.

Our current stack is Python/Django. We use Macs, deploy to Ubuntu on Apache/Lighttpd, and love experimenting with technology. For example, we recently rolled out a dynamic booking process built on Backbone.js and async data-refreshing with Celery. We love coffee, roti, beer, and foosball. Oh, and of course adventure travel, for which there are generous perks!

Great location, themed meeting rooms, regular cultural lunches, tons of merch, technical freedom, and a huge amount of company spirit and staff appreciation. We have multiple positions open, and are eagerly waiting for passionate developers to fill our inbox. Send us an email at talentagency@gadventures.com

I don't quite get the joke here. I would think eating out would be a tax-refundable biz expense for you guys. Is it not?

Bay Area or Los Angeles or Shanghai preferred, but remote work is possible for exceptional candidates (must live in the U.S.). Full-time only. H1B is okay. We also have several summer internship opportunities.

Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider, so that developers, startups, and big companies can focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We believe in openness and transparency rather than proprietariness and obfuscation.

We have a terrific team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). In late 2010, we raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers and partners include Facebook, Newsweek, Loopt, and Blekko. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

We currently have about half a dozen job openings, from data engineering to software engineering to system administration. For the software engineering position, you would ideally know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NoSQL, algorithms, infrastructure, and/or Hadoop.

If you're interested in the Bay Area office, it just opened last month, so you'd have a significant influence on the culture there.

You can email me personally at leo -at- factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:

Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow.

Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.
