We're a funded, early stage start-up creating a revolutionary indoor GPS platform using LED lights. We're looking for an experienced full-stack software engineer to join our team as a senior developer. While the majority of our work is in software, we aren't afraid of blowing stuff up (our most recent addition to the team was a blast shield).

Candidates must have the experience and skills necessary to design and build a product platform from the ground up including server architecture, REST APIs, back office applications, automated testing, deployment procedures, and supporting a stable platform while evolving it.

We're looking for people with the following skills/experience:

-Multiple years creating database-driven web applications

-Strong in Ruby, Rails and front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JS)

-A generalist that can work full stack: from database to front end

-Modern software engineering tools and disciplines such as version control, TDD ,continuous integration, and agile process

-Mature with lots of passion for creating great software

-A great work ethic and the ability to consistently deliver high quality work

-A need to be challenged, wear lots of hats, and create something great

If you're a fan of game changing technology, and not afraid of the occasional explosion, email me at dan@bytelight.com. Also check out our complete list of job postings at http://www.bytelight.com.

Scribd (social publishing, top 100 website, YC '06) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired TWO people from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript

* iOS

* Machine Learning / Data mining kinds of problems

* Back-end problems: scalability, web crawling, analytics

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you.

We're well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a zipline!). We've got flexible hours, a very engineer-driven company culture, and a really terrific team.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

Looking for full-time and INTERN hires (junior year or older). H1B and relocation are no problem.

See more at scribd.com/jobs and feel free to email me directly: jared at scribd.com
