New York, NY (aka NYC) Profitably: http://profitably.com VP of Data: http://jobsco.re/vL9OP0

Profitably is web-based planning and analysis software for startups and small businesses because Excel can be a real nightmare and you’ve got work to do.

On the backend we are running Postgres for persistent storage, MongoDB for document-based storage and ETL staging, and redis for key-value stores and queueing. All of our calculations live in ruby at the moment, but we need to be smarter about building an elegant/sane data processing world.

The appeal of this role is the opportunity to build something users really need that draws from the best aspects of traditional business intelligence, big data, NoSQL, real time analytics, and statistics. Profitably is building the future of BI with a respectful nod to what’s come before, and you will be the tip of the spear.

ThousandEyes (www.thousandeyes.com), San Francisco, Sequoia backed

INTERN, FULL-TIME, H1B, GREENCARD

ThousandEyes is an early-stage startup in the application performance management (APM) space backed by Sequoia Capital and with offices in San Francisco.

The commoditization of the Internet is changing not only the way the applications are delivered, but also the way applications are architected, with the increasing use of cloud services, SaaS and virtualization. This trend results in loss of control and visibility causing existing solutions to be inadequate and presents new challenges in application performance management for organizations.

At ThousandEyes, we believe that one does not have to sacrifice visibility and control when adopting distributed architectures and cloud services. To this end we are building a novel platform that truly understands the infrastructure layer underneath complex distributed applications as well as the end to end application delivery. Our core technology is a combination of active probing by exploiting protocols to extract critical data as well as passive techniques such as capturing traffic to infer network and application metrics. We are a team of radical thinkers and hackers and our core principle is to out innovate our competitors. We are actively looking for like minded people who enjoy hacking protocols and are passionate about disrupting the performance management space through our next generation platform.

Open positions: * Frontend Software Engineer * Java Software Engineer (Full Stack) * C/C++ Systems Software Engineer

Full details at http://www.thousandeyes.com/company/careers

To apply please send your cv to jobs@thousandeyes.com together with a paragraph explaining what you can bring to ThousandEyes and a code sample if possible.

I've been an engineer at ClickTime for the past 4 years. I am hard-pressed to condense all the reasons I love coming to work every day in just a few sentences, but here goes. With only a few engineers, we've managed to create one of the most beautiful, durable, time tracking interfaces out there, and we've done it in a way that we're proud of.

And I get to work with an extremely talented, passionate group of people.
