Virginia Beach, VA. Must relocate.

Looking for an outstanding software engineer. We help people find apartments. We're an Agile development team for the flagship division of a well-established Internet advertising company. We run multiple sites receiving over 3 million unique visitors a month.

Our company is primarily a PHP shop, but we care less about your knowledge of PHP and more about your understanding of object-oriented programming and interpersonal skills. (If you'll invest in us, we'll invest in you.) Also, we maintain a lot of mobile apps and are developing some new applications with Ruby on Rails. We're looking for people who at least have an interest in design patterns, unit testing, test-driven development, and Agile project management.

In addition to just running traditional big websites, projects focus on mobile websites, mobile apps, client-side awesomeness, SMS services, web analytics, reporting, automated testing, highly available systems, user experience, web services, data distribution, email marketing, search engine optimization and various administrative tools.

It's very rare to work more than 40 hours a week here. As a new team member, you'll get a brand-new iMac and a 24" second monitor. You can run whatever OS and IDE you like. Your meetings will be focused on collaboration rather than process. We focus on working software, not comprehensive documentation. We hire motivated individuals so we can give them the tools they need and trust them to get the job done. There are frequent technical training sessions. There are various user groups within the company that meet once a month and lunch is always provided. We also provide tuition reimbursement.

Call Andrew at (757) 739-0397.

MongoDB (10gen) New York City and Redwood City, CA. Looking for software engineers, QA, support engineers, interns, and more: http://www.10gen.com/jobs . Working remotely depends on the job. Working on MongoDB is great: there are tons of interesting programming problems, an awesome community, my coworkers are brilliant, and you get paid to work on open source software.

I'm looking for somewhere to intern at Summer 2011 and I see that you have a posted internship. Do you have any details about internship at 10gen? If you do, I would love to talk to you about it. My e-mail is in my profile.

There are some details in the internship description, feel free to email us or post here if you have any specific questions.

Boston, MA We're looking for a Rails (we use a lot of cool tech, like rails 3 and mongodb) and/or Android (wanna port our app over to scala?) guy to help us out. I'm the CTO of Zazu -- http://getzazu.com --, where we're building the Smartest Damn Alarm Clock (but we're so much more than that). Get in touch with me at marc@getzazu.com We're based out of Boston, but you can work from anywhere.

Lemme rephrase something (comment edit window timed out):

The end goal of Zazu is to build Jarvis from Iron Man. We have delusions of grandeur, but we will not rest until it's done. The current iteration of the product is an Android application that replaces the built-in alarm clock with an alarm clock that we believe to be more intelligent: it pulls whatever information you find important -- like your RSS feeds, your calendar, your email, your twitter stream -- and reads that information to you using a Text-To-Speech engine.

We're working with a few big brands to create a new form of interactive marketing/advertising and we promise that we're only going to be providing relevant information to our users... so y'all won't be blasted with Colon Blow advertisements 1000x a day.

We're going to be leaving the morning space fairly soon, meaning we'll integrate with your calendar to let you know what you need to regarding where you are and where you need to be (both physically and metaphorically). We're trying to transform the moment of alert into a moment of informed decision making. We'll be looking at emails and other areas that involve alerting and decision making, too.

Endgame Systems, Atlanta GA: http://endgames.us and http://www.iptrust.com

With $29 million in a recent Series A round we are rapidly expanding. Endgame Systems is a security software and services company. Our recent http://www.iptrust.com app shows one of our applications.

We are current hiring two types of developers:

* Python: Django, JavaScript, Cassandra, MySQL. We use Python all throughout our stack and in our big NoSQL backend systems.

* Visualization: we have petabytes of security related data, and presenting this in a sharp UI is challenging. We're looking to build with HTML 5, Protovis, Flash, and other related technologies.

Sadly no remote work is available right now, but our midtown Atlanta office is cool.

Please email me at mattculbreth AT gmail.com.
