AllTrails is hiring! We're building Yelp for the outdoors - the best way to discover and share hiking trails and outdoor activities around you. We're helping people rediscover the outdoors and having lots of fun in the process. Camping benefits, anyone?

We just launched our brand new site in partnership with National Geographic (http://alltrails.com/partners/national_geographic) and have the #1 outdoors app in the Apple and Android stores (search for 'Hiking').

Our company was AngelPad incubated, is funded by 500Startups and consists of a strong team from Google / Microsoft / Facebook with previous startup experience. We also have the author of an O'Reilly Android book on the team.

We're looking for exceptional designers / front-end Engineers, back-end Rails engineers, mobile developers (Android and iOS). Cross-functional and full-stack developers are preferred. We're also hiring for a community manager and sales folks.

If your idea of sunlight is more than just sitting in front of a really bright monitor all day, we'd love to hear from you!

- Backend engineers

- Front-end developers

- Business development roles

We're building the next generation of online payment tools, and are partnered with one of the world's largest banks.

GoCardless is built using bleeding edge Ruby and Rails, Postgres 9, Coffeescript and Redis. Experience with any of those technologies is a plus, but certainly not required.

We're looking for a full time Technical Support representative. We're a small tech group with a lot to do so there are opportunities to learn a bit about everything.

Start out doing support, handling releases, updating and maintaining web based software and the infrastructure it's built on.

ASP / MSSQL / HTML / Javascript / CSS / Systems Administration

Full-time preferable; part-time or intern possible.

We’re a startup based in Carlton. We’re working on a web/email app that makes it easier to write documents with other people. It automatically keeps track of what changed and who did the work, without requiring people to modify how they currently do things, whether it be by passing attachments around by email or by sharing documents in dropbox. It’s not launched yet.

Design is really important to us and you’ll be our first dedicated designer. (Right now our team is approximately 4 developers and a business guy.) We’re running into lots of design challenges and need someone to take the lead on these, in addition to designing the overall experience. As an example, this week we are thinking about how to show the changes between two Word documents in a clearer way than the Word compare view (which is horrible!).

We dream of hiring a junior version of Ryan Singer. We want someone who’s quite analytical about the design process. Regarding technical stuff, you need to be able to work in HTML and CSS, have a good understanding of what’s possible to do with Javascript, and know or be willing to learn git.

Get in touch with me (ben@contextualsystems.com) with any questions, or send a CV and link to your portfolio to apply. I’ll put a more detailed job ad up at http://contextualsystems.com/jobs/ soon.

Yes to the first, no on the second.
