New York, NY or Remote - Full-stack engineers, Cocoa engineers, and DevOps
We're scaling up LayerVault and are hiring engineers. We bill ourselves as simple version control for designers. Designers are living in the dark ages and we're here to help. You'll be one of the first ten employees. We are six at the moment.
We also run the shamelessly inspired Designer News site.
If you're interested, shoot me an email and we'll take it from there: kelly@layervault.com
g33ktalk is building an international community of software engineers passionate about open-source technologies and interested in the real-world architectures in use at top startups.
We're a seed stage biz, but are already well past the chicken/egg problem of an early two-sided marketplace. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs, we've previously raised money from top angels and have experience in the startup worlds of SF & NYC.
Hanover, Germany. Work Permit/Blue Card and Relocation Assistance Provided. Looking for strong Perl developers for a company in Hanover, Germany. They're stable, profitable and they've been in business for years. Hanover is a beautiful, bike-friendly, mid-sized town in the north of Germany. The cost of living is low and the quality of life is high. It's a green-friendly town and hosts one of the largest Oktoberfests…
How similar is Blue card to Green card? How easy it is to change employers in EU (But I guess, that would depend on particular country, Germany in this case). Btw, wish you all the best in your recruiting endeavours!
For the Blue Card, you can change employers as much as you want because it's attached to the employee rather than the employer. Further, depending on the country, after two or three years, you can then legally take work in any other EEA country (except the UK, Ireland and Denmark, all of whom opted out of the Blue Card program). There are some technicalities involved, but those are the basics.
Germany's program is particularly great because you can get a permanent residency permit after only two years if you learn German (to a B2 level, I think), or after three years if you don't speak German. In other words, it's a permanent entry into the EU. I'm an American living in France and I'm married to a French woman, so I don't have to worry, but otherwise, I'd apply for the Blue Card in a heartbeat!

We’re looking for a... Software Developer Intern *Accepting Applications for Summer 2013 (Not interested in coding? There are tons of ways to get involved! Email us: info@learningequality.org and we'll be in touch!)
Where? UC San Diego, La Jolla, California. Remote is fine too!
When? July 1 - September 15, 2013 (flexible)
Who are we? The Foundation for Learning Equality (FLE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating tools for sharing and creating open-licensed educational content for use by anyone around the world, with a focus on reaching those with limited or no internet access.
We are a group of hackers, educators, and aspiring ninjas, that are excited about bridging the divide between those with access to high-quality educational resources, and those without.
What you get to hack on: KA Lite (kalite.learningequality.org) is a lightweight web app for serving core Khan Academy content (videos and exercises) without needing internet connectivity, from a local server (even a Raspberry Pi!). Take it for a test drive, it’s open-source. Check out our wiki for more information.
Technologies we use and skills we would value (but learning on the job is acceptable!): Python! Django JavaScript / HTML5 apps jQuery Backbone.js Video.js HTML / CSS / LESS Android development Hardware / networking / system administration Cryptography / databases / API design
What we plan on building:
This summer, we will be continuing to develop the KA Lite project, to meet the needs of the schools and organizations that are deploying the project around the world, and make it accessible to even more people. Some of the features we’ll be working on are: Including mechanisms for peer-to-peer synchronization of software updates, content, and usage data, so that it can be kept up to date even in no-bandwidth scenarios. Improving the coach reporting tools and adding more gamification. Polishing up an in-progress Android wrapper for KA Lite, so it can be used completely standalone on mobile devices. Adding support for internationalized interfaces and content (dubbed videos and translated exercises). Adding the features that you, the interns, dream up! Bring your ideas to help increase educational access, and improve the user experience for both students and teachers.
We will also be beginning development on a new platform for distributing and hosting other open-licensed educational materials (beyond Khan Academy), as well as allowing teachers to author their own content -- offline -- to use in their classrooms as well as share back with the rest of the world. There will be exciting opportunities to be part of the design and prototyping phases of this new initiative over the summer!
We Offer the Following Benefits:
- You will be hacking on a piece of technology that has the potential to bring high-quality educational resources to literally billions of people who have never before had access. - You’ll be surrounded by a wide variety of development talent, from FLE team members, to professionals on the UC San Diego campus, and our internationally based partners. - You’ll have the chance to make real contributions to an ambitious development road map at a fast-growing startup nonprofit. - The UC San Diego campus is beautiful, the weather is perfect, and it’s only a five-minute walk to one of the world’s most iconic beaches. - A recommendation to our many partners in the tech and education industry.
Expectations - We believe that you’ll get as much out of this as you put in. If you want, you can work 20 hours per week, or you can work 40 (although we do ask for at least 20). - Set realistic goals for yourself and hold yourself accountable for reaching them. - Familiarity with some programming language and the ability and willingness to spend time on your own learning the technologies that we use (Python, Django, JavaScript, etc). - A commitment to providing access to education and promoting open content.
What life will be like: FLE is a pretty diverse group. Members enjoy playing soccer, board games, making marmalade, visiting Mexico (a 30-minute drive), doing Arduino projects, going to local San Diego Meetups, making sandcastles, bodyboarding, eating vegan food, playing various awesome instruments and learning to play new ones. We'll be organizing some fun events over the summer.
Application Process
Step 1. Fill out our Google form: https://docs.google.com/a/learningequality.org/forms/d/1THHI.... No need to send a resume or transcripts.
Step 2. After reviewing your application, we’ll send you an email to set up a Google Hangout or Skype session with one of our current team members.

Clojure + Hadoop + Ubuntu + Rails + CoffeeScript
Founded in 2011, Likely is already at the forefront of social media data collection and analysis having helped companies such as Coca-Cola and the British Government develop highly engaging, relevant presences online.
We analyse billions of social interactions – such as follows, shares and comments – to better understand how people cluster around things they are passionate about. By looking at brands as a collection of “passion points”, we have found that it is significantly easier to discover the people that are most likely to engage with a brand’s content and understand what content will resonate most with them.
We're looking for:
Software Developers. You will be expected to write Clojure for the majority of your work, whether that is delivering web services to power our internal tools and external products, or writing code to query our Hadoop cluster through Cascalog.
Client-side Developers. Must have good working knowledge of CoffeeScript and a desire to write rich, visual, responsive applications which present our data to our customers. You will be working on our core products and will have the opportunity to develop and shape our front end capabilities.
Both roles will be working closely with the CTO but will be given the responsibility and flexibility to design and build systems as part of a small, highly focused development team.
In return we offer:
• A competitive basic salary
• 10% of time dedicated to hack-day projects
• An excellent working environment with ample opportunity for progression
• An openness to flexible working
• 30 days holidays per year
• A company commitment to quality technology and external training
