thisCLICKS - Saint Paul, MN (FULL TIME)

thisCLICKS is a B2B mobile and web startup that has reinvented the employee punch clock and staff schedule with our two products: When I Work and WageBase.

Our addressable market is huge. Sixty percent of all workers work hourly jobs, including over 75 million Americans. And we already have international customers.

Our 3,000 customers today have over 200,000 employees. We're expecting to triple our customer base this year. We have already exceeded $1 million in annual revenue and we didn't hire any sales staff to do it. We're growing at over ten percent per month.

After raising $4 million in our series A fundraising round, we have four immediate on-site openings:

  DevOps Engineer
  Lead Business Analyst / Data Hacker
  Android Engineer
  iOS Engineer

  - Do you have experience working on solid mobile or web apps?
  - Do you take the time upfront to architect maintainable solutions?
  - Do you balance your work and life, but also spend time growing your skills?
  - Are you ready to upset the human resources industry?
  - Do you rock an ironic ZZ Top beard?
  (Quite unnecessary, but you would totally get along with our designer.)

CodeHS: Software Engineer in San Francisco

CodeHS is a site that helps teach computer science to beginners with a focus on working with high schools. We work with students and schools all over the US and all over the world. Make a big impact on a small team in an exciting space.

See more at http://codehs.com/jobs

We are a company with a social mission, and we believe that we can help make computer science more fun and accessible to high school students. If you are a programmer, but also consider yourself a teacher--or if you love coming up with creative ways to explain things--or if you want to work on a meaningful project instead of programming widgets at the widget factory--then send us an email. You can email me at zach@codehs.com

We're a small team of 6 with funding and a business model and soon to be a lot bigger. We have a monthly team hackathon (and recently had one for 150 students and teachers at Facebook http://facebook.com/codehs ), and are always thinking of ways to make working more fun.

See what students and teachers say about CodeHS: http://codehs.com/testimonials

How We Start Teaching:

We start teaching programming with "Karel the Dog," a dog that lives in a grid world and only knows four commands: move, turnLeft, putBall and takeBall. We use karel to teach that computer science is about problem solving. We start in JavaScript, but use a thin teaching library because we believe in teaching concepts over syntax.

Try it out and let us know what you think at codehs.com.

Our site is built in python, django, JavaScript, and we're on ec2.

CodeHS was recently a winner at NBC's Education Nation and has been featured on the Today Show and a number of other places.

Thanks! Zach

As an engineer at Game Closure, you will work with these technologies to build core features of our product. You will work with the best engineers in the world -- we have top talent in every part of our stack, from server architecture to browser optimization to Android internals -- on the hardest problems in mobile and social gaming.
