Planet Labs -- http://planet.com/ -- San Francisco, CA

(Remote work depends on the role -- some are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.)

Planet Labs has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".

I've personally been with the company for over a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).

Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

Zappos Labs - San Francisco, CA - ONSITE

Zappos Labs is looking for a Full-Stack Developer!

What is the job?

We are a small team of smart people looking to solve tough problems and brainstorm new ideas. Our projects focus on the future of Zappos and customer experiences using a combination of new technologies and new approaches to old technologies. As the Zappos Labs team, we have freedom to incubate new ideas with the backing of a large yet passionate-about-culture organization.

Some of our recent projects include researching new lines of business for Zappos, exploring the physical pop-up space, and creating the tools to support self-organization.

What skills do you need?

We are looking for an experienced full stack developer with a focus on front end development. Some of the technologies we use are Ruby on Rails, Javascript frameworks, Node, Mysql, Postgres, and R. We also have a mobile project or two going on at any point in time. Our general approach is language agnostic, choosing the best language for the job.

Being able to design applications from top to bottom, troubleshooting and fixing tough problems, hitting quick deadlines, knowing when to push back on requirements, and mentoring other developers will all be very important parts of this role. Knowing a programming language or two like the back of your hand will also come in very handy.

We are ideally looking for a "T-shaped developer"—someone who has a broad interest and understanding of technology and the web, but also has deep interest in a specialized area. However, being a Labs developer isn’t a full-time programming job. We want someone who has their own big ideas, loves brainstorming sessions, and will participate in user research.

What kind of people do we want?

Our team is always in search of people that are self-starters, visionary thinkers, and people who don’t mind a little bit of ambiguity.

There are many open ended problems that there are no solutions for...yet. Can you brainstorm and come up with innovative solutions to new problems? Are you willing to work closely in a small team and push everyone to be the best that they can be? Do you love learning new things, expanding your knowledge, and iterating quickly? If so, the Zappos Labs team might be for you.

Zappos IP, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and a drug-free workplace
