iOS Engineer - We're looking for an awesome iOS engineer who knows the ins, outs, and annoyances of the iOS platform. We're a venture backed startup (Spark + OATV) that is making reminiscing online fun by taking your digital exhaust (ditial photos, tweets, checkins, etc) and showing you the most interesting things you've done on this day in history.

In an age where we're creating more digital data than ever before, we're trying to take the 90% of stuff that isn't real time and searching for the important signals and making it useful again.

Our stack is mostly Rails with PG (and decommissioning Mongo). As of late, we're adding more and more Go into our stack. As part of the iOS team, you'd be contributing to the iOS efforts on all fronts: making major decisions about how the codebase progresses (libraries, code conventions, etc), major part in hiring, etc. Since we're a small startup, you'd also have a huge amount of input into the product.

We're also looking for junior iOS folks as well!

We've raised $4mm thus far and have got a bunch still in the bank :)

Shoot me and email, I'd love to hear from you! benny@timehop.com (tech cofounder)

Fountain Digital Labs - Python developer - London, UK

We are a funded one year old startup working on children's iPad app with interactive video as a core offering. We want to find a new way for children to learn about the world around them using something that looks like a TV app on the iPad but is way smarter, more interactive and enjoyable.

Our product is currently in pre-alpha stage and is planned for a limited release this Christmas. Of engineers working on the product, one person is responsible for the iPad app, three more are working remotely on the Python-based backend. The backend is an elastic video processing system: ffmpeg-based transcoding, dynamic allocation of EC2 instances, tons of supported video inputs, strong focus on the resulting video quality and crazy scalability, all managed via a custom web panel. We're looking for another backend expert to join our team. If you'll join, you'll be the first permanent engineering hire.

At the moment we're based in Google Campus but will be moving to a new office very soon. Compensation (and equity) is very competitive.

Buzzwords: Python, Bottle, ZeroMQ, boto, MongoDB, Redis.

Interested? Tell us about yourself: mikhanov@fountain-digital.com (my name is Sergey).

Twitch - Software Engineers - San Francisco, CA

2 years ago the idea of watching live video games online was a crazy notion, now it is big business. We've just raised a new round to continue our scale (http://tcrn.ch/1dSbFH4), which will accelerate even more as we're being shipped in both the xbox one and PS4 this Christmas.

We're looking for smart and passionate engineers to help us get there. We're in the process of incrementally rebuilding our architecture to support the near 50 million MAU we have on our site for hours each and every day. We're using Go (we've found some interesting bugs because of our scale) for large chunks of our new infrastructure. We're incredibly API driven - if you understand the concept of data gravity, you're the right kind of person. If you love creating high quality products, you're the right kind of person.

If you want to know more, email me at ossareh@twitch.tv (Director of Engineering, fwiw!)

San Francisco Intrans Ruby Engineers, Android Engineers

The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Intrans is here to change that by deploying the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping.

Over $30 billion dollars a month is spent trucking freight around the US. Without trucks, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry today still runs on phones and fax machines. This means hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight capacity goes unfilled every month due to the old-school inefficiencies of the industry.

We are changing that. We use our location-based technology to automatically match supply and demand.

If you're ready to transform the trucking industry, send your resume and GitHub profile to jobs@intrans.com.

ShowKit - West Hollywood, CA - FULLTIME, REMOTE, H1B

ShowKit (http://showkit.com) is a mobile/software startup run out of Curious Minds, a privately funded incubator in West Hollywood, CA. Curious Minds specializes in highly disruptive mobile and web applications.

We are currently looking for a talented Software Engineer with skills in network programming and SIP/RTP.

To apply: Send your resume and GitHub account to anthony@showkit.com

Qualifications: - Strong C/C++ programming skills - Strong OO & multi-threaded programming skills - Network programming experience - SIP/RTP development experience - Strong debugging skills - Experience dealing with bandwidth and latency issues - Self-Motivated - Good design and analytical skills - Good communication skills - Passion for real-time!

Desired/Other Skills: - Experience with Objective-C - Mac/iOS development (AVFoundation) - Windows development - H264 encoding/decoding - openGL - Knowledge of network security strategies - Android development - Familiar with Xamarin and PhoneGap

Product: ShowKit is a mobile software development kit that turbo charges apps with live communication features in under 30 minutes. Before ShowKit, it would take companies and software engineers months of intensive development to add features like audio/video conferencing, screen sharing, and gesture control to their applications. Our first-to-market gesture control functionality empowers users to tap, swipe, highlight, and fully control another users’ screen remotely while simultaneously connecting the two users via audio/video conference.

Notably, ShowKit is the only framework that includes hardware accelerated video encoding & decoding. This enables 720p at 30fps, the highest quality video conferencing resolution on the market, while using minimal cpu resources and allowing the app to run seamlessly in the background while a call is taking place. Comparable solutions use full cpu resources & only achieve 4-5fps at that resolution, which isn’t feasible for video conferencing.
