Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area) | on-site | http://connexity.com

Are you interested in learning advertising tech from the inside out? We're looking for an eager software engineer who takes their personal development seriously and seeks to make a huge impact.

You'll be working alongside a tight, driven team right in the heart of the profit center. Our division of Connexity works in online display advertising (aka "banner ads") through RTB, and we run 50 to 100 million impressions each day. Our total transaction volume is between 5 and 10 billion per day, and I'd bet you a burger we've served ads on nearly every site you've ever visited.

We're primarily looking for someone to contribute to our Ruby on Rails app. It's used to administer hundreds of advertising campaigns across hundreds of publisher sites. It's not just boring CRUD. It provides a ton of control and insight to the team that operates our clients' campaigns; it's truly the heart of our display advertising business. The business folks will know you, and you'll find that excellence will stir up a tremendous amount of appreciation for your work.

This role is a great way to learn advertising tech at scale as well as other tools. In addition to Rails work, you'd get hands on experience with Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, R and Scala. Several on the current team started in the Rails app and have moved into other areas of interest (low-latency RTB bidder written in C, sophisticated reporting pipelines or novel optimization algorithms).

Our team is sharp and works well together. We enjoy perks such as daily paid lunch, a 9/80 schedule (to get every other Friday off) and unlimited vacation; the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work (unless you hate temperate coastal weather). If you've got Rails or other relevant web app experience, that's a good start. More importantly, you'll be eager to learn display advertising inside and out. Attitude, ambition and sound judgement trump experience with a specific set of tools.

We're a small team within a medium-sized organization, and we work hard to keep the small-team vibe while availing ourselves of the best bits from the mother ship.

Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a lead engineer on the team) at david.larsen@connexity.com.

Pivotal Labs | NYC and many other locations | Engineers, Designers, Product Manager

Pivotal Labs is a division of Pivotal Inc.

We help clients to become better at development. We are religiously lean and agile -- in practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside.

Our NYC office is growing fast to meet exploding demand for Labs and Cloud Foundry assistance. We are also hiring in all our offices, including new offices: SF, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, London, Dublin, Berlin, Tokyo and Sydney.

We provide visa and relocation assistance. In the NYC office we have about 15 people from overseas, including Australians like me.

At the office we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, good benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong is not mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east coast style is more fun to watch. The beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

Frankly this is the best job I've ever had -- I've learnt more here than anywhere else.

You can apply through our website: http://pivotal.io/careers

But if you email me -- jchester@pivotal.io -- I can take advantage of our generous referral program and answer any private questions you might have.

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
