Canvas Networks (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future. Our stack is Python/Django/MySQL/Redis/a whole-lot-of JS/EC2 and our deploy process is "git push" -- if the tests pass on Jenkins the code is automatically deployed, which happens twenty times a day. We're generalists and looking for the same, so it doesn't matter what specific tools you've used before. If you pick things up quickly, if you're always curious, if you're constantly thinking about the next big problem and solution then we're looking for you.

The job title says "Software Developer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics. If you want to build something you can point at and say "I made that happen" then we're looking for you.

Things we'd like to see:

- Strong development fundamentals

- Web development experience

- Python experience is a plus, but not requisite

- Bonus points for experience with EC2, Redis, Javascript, iOS/Android

- Motivated to build stuff

Free lunch, flexible hours, one of the biggest arcades in Manhattan (3 cabinets!), competitive salary and full benefits (health, dental, vision), take-what-you-want vacation.

Our office is in Union Square, Manhattan. If you don't live in New York City, we'll pay to fix that.

Shoot an email to jobs@canv.as with a resume, a link to your github, webpage, etc. and tell us about something cool you've built.

Location: Palo Alto or Montreal - Full Time. We have two offices.

Cinemagram (http://cinemagr.am) is an application for creating awesome hybrids between photos and videos. We are growing fast and are looking for talented individuals to help us bring this new medium to the masses.

Like everyone else we are looking for talented people, more precisely people that are better than us :) We have many needs and I'm not keen on requiring specific skills, as long as you are bright I want to talk to you. Cinemagram heavily uses openGL, does a lot of video processing and computer vision. The challenges are great. We want to use the phone to its limit and the application in its current state is only the beginning.

Note that we also need help with the back-end. If you have experience scaling a massive site or an app, I want to talk to you too :) We need help on the Android front as well.

We haven't made any technical hires yet. It's a great time to join us. You'll have tremendous impact on the product. The pay will be super competitive along with a generous options package.

Feel free to contact me directly : marc@cinemagr.am, looking forward to talking with you!

Marc, co-founder

NYC (Union Square) - Chicago - SFBay (Mountain View)

Matasano.

Job title: Scary Story Told To Young Software Developers By Their Parents To Get Them To Go To Bed On Time.

We break software. To do it, in the past year, we've filled up Riak clusters with raw HTTP requests, built a large-scale source code cross referencer for 30 languages, wrote and rewrote a debugger core in Ruby, wrote another in Go, built software fuzzer farms with Redis, tested 3 different proprietary trading protocols, broke sandboxing schemes, built tools to attack chipsets, broke numerous cryptosystems, and gave several talks at Black Hat.

Our customers are excellent; they include Github, 37signals, and numerous YC companies.

Our team is even better. What are we looking for? Here's my first interview question: "what is your research project going to be for us?" Does this stuff interest you? We should talk. WE LOVE TALKING TO DEVELOPERS. You don't have to be a "rock star ninja shaolin grandmaster security pro", wear the right jeans, or listen to Animal Collective (please don't listen to Animal Collective). We just want you to be able to learn fast and not get scared when you're faced with wacky systems in languages you've never used and there's a clock ticking.

Downsides: Not building things people want. In fact, building things people fear and loathe. Also, not being able to wear silver, eat garlic, or enter houses without express invitation.

Perks: Infinite free tech books, medical, dental, vision, 401k.

If I were looking for a day job, I wouldn't be looking for a day job any more: they're friendly, happy people who get social license to join the Dark Side, do smart stuff all day, and then go home while it is still light out. - HN:patio11
