We're a real-time analytics platform focused on providing data to the people on the front line (people who can take immediate action), rather than the analysts in the back office. Our stack is Python (django/tornado), C, MongoDB, and Google Closure for our JavaScript needs. Hiring engineers, designers, support, sales... Pretty much everything.

#52Spiceworks - Full Time
Spiceworks is a fun, fast-paced, fast-growing start-up in Austin TX with experienced entrepreneurial executive management (all.com, Motive Communications, Tivoli) with a successful IPO and acquisition history. Our flagship product has over 2 million users, and we are developing large product features on multiple fronts:
- Cloud Services Integration - Data Analytics - System Management Application (Spiceworks app) - IT Community, the "Facebook of IT"
And this covers the full stack - backend, Rails server programming, and extensive UI work.
We have a multitude of technical and non-technical positions available. I'm not going to re-post every single one here, and instead encourage you to follow this link: http://www.spiceworks.com/jobs/openings/
I am currently looking for a go-getting engineer who is eager to learn and help build out a new platform for our product. You will touch the full stack, and learn everything along the way you don't already know. If you want to work with a top-notch, disciplined team and move fast, definitely apply as a 'Software Developer' and tell them Scott sent you. We are looking for aptitude, so if your Javascript or Rails experience isn't 100% don't let that stop you.

#54Zipmark (http://zipmark.com) is a real time checking payment network. We build mobile and web applications that enable users and businesses to process payments, settle debts, and transfer funds without onerous fees or sequestering funds in stored value accounts ( think Paypal, et al).
We are looking for:
* Full Stack Front-End Engineers: We have a diverse set of problems to solve and accordingly work with many technologies: Javascript, Ruby, JVM, Objective-C, Redis, PostgreSQL, Risk analytics and ML, etc. Currently looking for someone to slot in on to the team with strong front-end skills (Ember application).
* UX/Design: We value designers who can build beautiful applications and can actually do work in this medium. Like a painter or photographer should understand the chemistry of their medium, you should be fluent in the tools of this one. To us that means: HTML5, CSS, JS, Interface Builder, working with templating languages, source control(git), etc.
Interested? Send me a note: jake@zipmark.com

#55With 50% of traffic is now driven by social media, and referrer information increasingly useless with mobile clients and HTTPS, traditional web analytics are no longer working. awe.sm is building full-featured social media conversion tracking and analytics.
Right now and in the medium term, we're providing immediate value to our customers by giving them firm numbers on the ROI of their social media efforts, in terms of dollars, signups, pageviews or any other metric they pick. Our APIs allow app developers to easily integrate social features into their products and easily present the analyzed data back to their own customers, without having to build their own processing clusters and workflows.
Longer term, we want to know what's important on the Internet, and we believe that instrumenting social behaviour is the way to do that.
We're looking for back-end engineers who are interested in learning how to handle large volumes of data for aggregation, geo analysis, and graph analysis, in close to real time. Our stack is mostly PHP and Ruby right now (I know, I know) but we believe in simple parts loosely coupled, and also in picking the right tool for the job, so you genuinely have the power to shape the stack you work on.
We're also looking for front-end developers to continue to build out our GUI, which is a backbone JS app built on top of the same APIs our customers use.

We're 13 people right now. We have a cool new office with awesome views ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) in the heart of the Mission. We have catered lunches, and full health, vision and dental coverage. We use an IRC server for team communication and are agile in the sense that we move quickly and react fast, not in the sense of having attended an overpriced training course.
