Sorry about that. Now fixed: http://spreemo.com/careers/senior-rails-developer/

Omniata - http://omniata.com/careers/ - San Francisco, Helsinki - Full Stack Engineer - Full time, visa

Omniata enables the entire digital organization - marketers, product managers and data scientists - to run their business based on data. It creates an integrated view of consumers across devices, providing tools to optimize the user experience in real-time. Omniata integrates analytics, CRM, engagement and A/B testing platforms into a single all encompassing solution.

We are looking for a talented full stack engineer to help us take our service to the next level and change how our customers view their business critical data. As such, we hope you have keen interest in big data, data visualization & building modern web interfaces and REST APIs.

You will work alongside product managers, business analysts, designers and other engineers to spec up and implement the customer facing parts of our service. This will involve writing code for both browser and server, which interfaces with our back end event data store.

As a full stack engineer you will be responsible for creating the front end of Omniata's service that allows our customers to make the most of their data. You’ll need to have the ability to quickly go from a set of wireframes and requirements to a working web app while taking customer needs and changing priorities into account. So, a web agency background would be beneficial for this position.

Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is required. Familiarity with AngularJS is a plus. Experience with any server side web stack such as: Node, Rails as well as any Python or PHP framework is also assumed. No extensive database knowledge is needed, however some experience with configuring servers and DevOps tools would be a bonus.

To apply, drop a one line email with a link to your LinkedIn or GitHub profile to careers-sf@omniata.com

Heh, I also solved it a few months ago and didn't get a response (though I wasn't nearly as snarky as you good sir, hat tip). I agree that they should at least send a response to every participant. Even an automated one with a more fun problem would be nice.

Reaction, Inc - http://www.reactionhousing.com - Austin, TX - Sr Software Engineer (Ruby/Backend)

Reaction needs a senior software engineer to help house people displaced by disaster

At Reaction, we're building a smarter, lighter, more humane shelter for people displaced by disaster: the Exo. It's stackable, modular, and light enough for a small group to carry and requires no tools to assemble — perfect for the immediate aftermath of a disaster, when a secure place to sleep can mean the difference between hope and despair.

The Exo is also stunningly designed and truly smart, with built-in brains and cutting-edge mesh networking hardware and sensors.

Alongside the Exo, we're building a software platform to help organizations manage and monitor Exo villages, and that's where you come in.

We're an informal, friendly, and close-knit team deeply driven by our mission to help people using equal parts design and technology.

-- About the Job --

We're looking for a seasoned engineer who can help us build our backend software platform. You'll work on the Rails API that powers our web & mobile client apps, the databases that power the API, and the mesh networking services that allow our platform to talk to our shelters.

We're committed to continuous deployment and a test-driven development style.

Down the road, you'll help us ensure our mission-critical systems' uptimes have enough 9s, build complex mapping applications using geo data, or find a way to make our platform work even for Exo villages with spotty internet connections. We'll quickly ramp into some interesting and difficult technical problems.

-- About You --

Like us, you love Ruby. You have a solid grasp of the entire web stack: HTTP, RESTful API design, storage systems both relational (Postgres) and not (Redis/Cassandra/etc). Experience with queues and distributed systems a plus.

Although you may spend most of your time on the command-line, you prize thoughtful user experiences and design, and would be excited to work in a design-led organization.

You love asking and answering questions, and go out of your way to explain technical matters so that anyone can understand (and feel empowered for asking).

Most importantly: you're a friendly, effective person who feels deeply drawn to Reaction's core mission of helping people all over the world.
