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…

CircleCI (https://circleci.com/jobs) - SF or REMOTE fulltime (in the US)

At CircleCI we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and have as flat a structure as we can.

Frontend Engineer - You'll work on improving our customer's experience. Our frontend is a single page javascript app, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. Its a lot of fun to work on, but also needs a lot of work. We have a lot of impressive features that our users need, everything from better visualizations of deployment, to responsive features that work well on mobile, so you'll be a really important part of the team. Experience with Angular would be particularly cool.
