Codecademy - http://www.codecademy.com/jobs - Flatiron District, NYC

We're hiring for several positions in both engineering and design.

I started interning as an engineer here this summer and ended up taking a year of personal leave from school to go full-time for a while. It's a fun product to work on that gets a lot of usage, and a fun team to work with. I've also watched the engineering culture in the team really develop in my short stay. All the engineers are happy here.

Things around here are starting to move really quickly - we're working hard on new products and ramping up our hiring. It's an exciting place to be right now, I'm very happy I decided to stick around for a while.

You can email me at artur@codecademy.com if you have any questions.

Inkling Markets - Software Engineer - Chicago, IL

ABOUT US

Inkling (http://inklingmarkets.com) is changing how decision-making works inside companies and government agencies using crowdsourced forecasting tools like prediction markets, opinion polls, and crowdfunding.

We’ve helped Ford and GM develop ideas for the future of American-made cars. We enable the US Government to plan for the future by forecasting world events. We’re even trying to prevent the Zombie Apocalypse - seriously, ask us about it.

We are a small, but profitable and growing YC company. We have thrived based on demand from our clients and haven’t had to take outside investment.

THE JOB

We’ve got a lot going on here at Inkling. We’re adding a ton of exciting new features to our flagship platform that our clients are going to love. We are expanding our mobile capabilities - which means continuing to improve our iOS app, developing an Android app, and making our HTML/CSS more mobile friendly.

We’re looking for a well-rounded developer to join our team and help us grow. You’ll have the opportunity to work in many areas - with different technologies, on different products, and for multiple clients.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Above all else, we’re looking for smart people who have a passion for what they do and are excited about learning new things. Specifically, you’ll need:

* Real-world experience building non-trivial web applications

* Value teamwork and collaboration - we’re a small team and work very collaboratively

* You have opinions about UI/UX design

* You know your way around a Unix shell

Bonuses:

* Rails experience. If you haven’t used Rails, you’ll need a willingness and capability to learn fast

* You have experience interacting with clients

* Mobile (iOS or Android)

COMPENSATION

* A competitive base salary

* Revenue sharing

* Healthcare stipend if needed

* Training, tutorial, and books budget

* Attend a conference of your choice annually on us

* New laptop of your choice

* An opportunity to be a crucial member of the team. You’ll play a part in steering the direction of our products. You won’t be a cog in a wheel.

HOW TO APPLY

Send an email to jobs@inklingmarkets.com with whatever you think best represents you: your github repo, a blog you write, a resume, a portfolio, code samples, etc.
