Slant - San Francisco, CA - FULL TIME - Who we are: Slant tells people what they should buy. Our vision is to own the consumer experience for discovering products and deciding which one to purchase.

We’re currently a small team of three: two experienced developers and a “non-technical” founder whose last job was building satellites for NASA. A major revision to the current product is in the works, but you can see a live version here: www.slant.co. Some info on our investors/advisors: https://angel.co/slant

- Our tech Backbone-based front-end, with improvements to allow it to run on both client- and server- side, and as both a single- and multi- page app. RESTful backend written in functional Coffeescript on Node.js, with a temporal postgres database that allows for rewinding to a previous state. The codebase is written in Coffeescript, Jade, and Stylus. Entertaining git history. Gratuitous use of Monads.

- What we're looking for We're a multidisciplinary team, so we'd love to hear from full-stack/frontend/backend engineers as well as designers familiar with html/css. We're optimizing more for hiring someone talented, rather than for a specific role. If you’re interested in learning more, email me at stuart@slant.co

Pirate3D (Singapore) − Part time, REMOTE. Web back-end & front-end. Later VISA sponsorship to Singapore possible.

Our main product is the Buccaneer, a 3D printer designed to be affordable, sleek and user-friendly. The printer comes with native smartphone and PC apps to control the printer, and with access to Treasure Island (http://treasure.is/), our webstore for 3D models. The focus is on providing a one-click printing experience, where users can expect any object on the store to print well without changing any setting. The challenge is to get Treasure Island to provide printers with the optimal printing settings for each object.

You will join our team over on GitHub, Slack and Google Hangout, and will be given the responsibility of leading the development of the Treasure Island project. The web stack is AWS, Lavarel, MySQL, Ember.JS. You will also be expected to help the team with integrating the store within our native apps.

You are not expected to excel in every part of the stack, as we will accept up to 3 part-timers on the project, and each can specialize according to their strengths.
