Alcorn McBride | Full-Time | Orlando, FL

Hardware/Software Design Engineer

We develop audio, video, lighting, and show control systems for themed entertainment. You'll find our equipment in the world's biggest theme parks, museums, and attractions. We're looking for someone with general knowledge of Digital Video technology and Video Compression. RTOS/Embedded software experience is ideal.

It's amazing to see the things our creative customers do with our equipment, and it's exciting to work on next-generation tools and hardware to enable our customers to create the "next-big-thing". You'll wear a lot of hats(today I'm bouncing between debugging a PC application and working on an FPGA design), but your primary focus will be on our video products. If you'd like to chat about it, my contact info is in my profile.

For more details and to apply, you can check out the job listing on our website: http://alcorn.com/alcorn-mcbride-jobs/

Mountain View, or Remote (full-time)

We're Zapier: we make tools around integrating APIs, and we make them for everyone, not just technical people. We just announced a $1mm+ funding round and are looking for anyone comfortable with the full stack, though specialization is cool as well. No formal requirements, except that you have a history of hacking and getting sh*t done.

We have an increasingly varied tech stack and are using Python, Coffeescript/SASS, Backbone, RabbitMQ, Elastic Search, Redis, Node.js, and much much more. The right tool is the right tool, new tech doesn't scare us.

We have to solve some interesting problems, for example, every API has different rate limit, so how do you schedule jobs that keep us under the limit, both globally and per-user? We also believe in the power of open source, we've released two OS Django apps already, we'd hope you would want to do the same.

Also, customers love us and we're making money.

If you want to chat, just contact us at founders@zapier.com (no recruiters please).

San Francisco | Fullstack Engineer, Backend Engineer and Frontend Developer | Perfect Audience

What We Do: We've built the world's first and easiest Facebook ad retargeting solution, and we have much more ambitious plans. We believe advertising is a critical part of the internet economy, and want to help small business and publishers succeed with solutions that just work.

Who We Are: We're a team of five, split between some of us doing the selling and the rest of us doing the building. We want to bring in more designers and developers to help us keep building new features as fast as we can. Ideally these folks will be ready to dive into anything, pitching in when fires come up. But, they will also own some piece of the product where we need expertise.

Traction: We are increasing our revenue by 25% every week and it's going to do nothing but accelerate with some big clients we have lined up in the coming months.

What we look for in teammates: Smart, really smart Eager to join a growing startup Has a “maker” attitude Good at communicating (ready to discuss features, bugs, architecture, etc.) Language never trumps experience - but if you know Rails, Mongo and Javascript things will go faster Appreciation for puns and movie quotes Experience in advertising is a HUGE plus

Backend Engineer

About the Position: We're looking for someone to be the primary backend person at Perfect Audience. This person will guide us as we think about restructuring our data storage and help us prepare for more data influx and more demanding data analysis and visualization.

What we are looking for: Solid understanding of database paradigms and architecture Ability to look at a series of customer or team needs and help us pull together the right technology, queries and optimizations Ability to cover DBA or Sys Admin needs is awesome

Full Stack Engineer

About the Position: We're a team of full-stack engineers who enjoy database design, application logic, and standards-based frontends. We are always looking for more smart generalists to come join us. This is a chance to work on every facet of a successful web app and grow your engineering skillset.

What we are looking for: Solid software development foundation Ability to architect, develop, and test key infrastructure Understanding of performance and design tradeoffs, without compromising quality Experience scaling up webapps and services for rapid growth is a plus

Front End Designer / Developer

About the position: We regularly get complimented on our design and interface, but we don't want it to just be better than the enterprise tools - we want it to be delightful. We want a skilled individual to come in and own the design and user experience.

What we are looking for: Someone as comfortable editing masks in Photoshop as tweaking CSS in a text editor Innate understanding of, and instinct for, design and user experience Experience seeking input from end users Ability to carry design from ideation and wireframes all the way through solid HTML, CSS and Javascript Experience with enterprise or B2B tools is a plus

Palo Alto, CA - Sherpa

We're building predictive intelligence into your smartphone.

We provide users just the information they need right as they need it and simplify task completion on the iPhone. From telling you 20 minutes before you leave for work that there is a major accident on your typical route, to automatically surfacing key information at the right location -- like your hotel reservation as you approach your hotel -- we simplify your life and help you focus on what's important.

It is really only in the past year that what we are doing has become possible on a large scale. This is because background location is now available and with it we are able to build models of the user and connect key bits of information to the user's current state (think position).

We would love to show and tell you more!

We're looking for great people to join our small startup backed by top VCs.

Specifically:

# UI / UX Designers

Interested in creating beautiful mobile experiences that help people interact with information and complete transactions? Send us examples of your work. We’re looking for someone to own the look and feel -- we know it’s important and need help!

# Backend Software Engineers

The deep technology problem we face is information retrieval and machine learning. The user models we build help us make predictions and determine how and when to present information.

# iOS Engineers

We’re looking for iOS engineers that can build beautiful experiences and effects, and squeeze performance out of the system.

Please email me at wferrell AT getsherpa.com with your resume.

London: Farringdon. On-site only.

Timetric is looking for python/django/javascript/devops engineers to help us build the best data visualization platform available anywhere.

We're a small, motivated team. We've spent a lot of effort getting rid of process, and I've never been in a team which can deploy faster or more frequently.

And we're backed by a solid sales team who know how to get users for our products (and pay the bills!)

We want smart, interesting people with a passion for making usable systems.

There are job descriptions at http://timetric.com/about/jobs/ - or just email us at jobs@timetric.com
