New York, NY (we'll cover relo except no H1B) - http://fundinggates.com/jobs

We're a well-funded (angel, strategic - not VC), pre-revenue (just starting development, please help me! :D) company in NYC hiring awesome Rails and JS (Ember is nice, but not necessary) developers.

We believe strongly in quiet work environments, work whenever, wherever you want (http://www.gorowe.com), the best tools money can buy (unlimited computer/desk budget), 20% time to do whatever you want (but you must share it with the team), hiring smart people and getting out of their way, and generally making the best software company in the world.

We're hiring for engineers #1, 2, 3 - so at this time our core team should be either in NYC, or relocatable (we'll cover it!). As we grow the core team we'll be more flexible and able to take the culture hit a remote person brings, but not at this time, sorry!

I hope to hear from you. rogish [at] fundinggates dot com

Etsy is hiring in New York City - http://www.etsy.com/careers

I've been here for three weeks and I love it so far. I pushed code to production on my first day, and since then I've pushed probably 10 times. I have never been more surrounded with competent, smart, fun people.

Durham, NC | Northern VA - Bronto software is hiring. http://bronto.com/company/careers

I left this great company a few weeks ago to pursue an opportunity at Etsy, but I'll be the first to say that it's an awesome place to work and would recommend it to anyone who wants to work with good developers. It's an email marketing company currently building out a platform that includes email, social (facebook, twitter) and SMS marketing as well.

San Francisco, fulltime systems/ops and engineering, Causes - http://www.causes.com/joinus

At Causes, use your programming powers to help nonprofits effect change on the world! Ruby on Rails + jQuery stack, 12-ish person engineering team, the usual startup perks (catering, snacks, soda, etc), gym membership reimbursement, etc. Ways we're trying to make ourselves better engineers:

- deliberate practice with our tools. If you are a vim user, we have the programmer who wrote Command-T on staff and he's a great person to learn from - every changeset gets pushed to Gerrit where it waits to get a +1 from our build suite (that runs in 3 minutes) and a +1 from a human reviewer

- last month I said we were hoping to finish our Rails 3.0.11 upgrade soon. I'm happy to announce that not only have we landed on 3.2.3, but we needed some upstream patches to get our site working -- so we're on bleeding edge Rails. We're the largest site I know of on Rails 3.2. Come get your SASS on!

- everyone is encouraged to take one hour from their day to learn about something they wouldn't otherwise

- every story is scoped so that it can be completed in less than a day. We don't branch, we just work on top of master. We've found that the closer we stay to master, the less needless work we create for ourselves

Causes is a great place to better yourself and better the world. We're particularly looking for a systems/ops/network engineer to help wrangle our colo. Apply through the site or adam@causes.com if interested!

Spurfly - Palo Alto, CA or Arlington, VA - Python/Coffeescript Developer - LOCAL or REMOTE (full-time preferred)

    • Full-stack Developer, and

    • Front-end (UI/UX) Developer for desktop web and/or mobile web

Help us scale and meet demand for real-time location-aware planning. Our focus is on groups and events ("spur of the moment, on the fly"). We think we have something unique to offer the world and are launching a native iOS app in a few weeks and expanding to web and mobile web next.

The founders are straight shooters who value clear communication and getting stuff done. We're obssessed with creating a product that fills what we see as a major hole in social networking software -- helping people more efficiently connect in real-life with close networks so they can spend more of their time building and enriching real relationships.

Technologies:

    • frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

    • backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres

We need some knowledge/experience optimizing and scaling some or all of the above technologies to handle growth, and building real-time single-page architecture sites or mobile web.

Immediate front-end needs include design and development of our desktop web and mobile web versions and giving thoughtful consideration to iPhone workflows as we get feedback from users.

Full-stack devs are needed to help optimize and expand our API, re-assess our real-time web architecture, add background processing for actions triggered by the API calls, optimize queries, and support what's going to potentially be a wild ride as we do launch events over the next few months.
