We really are a fitness company, we have our own well equipped gym in the office and offer a gym membership budget for all employees. Everyday we get messages from users sharing the changes they've made in their lives not every company can say the same.

The DailyBurn engineering team offers the chance to work on a wide range of different technologies. Our main web platform is built using Ruby on Rails, but we also work with node.js and golang on our backend systems. We have client applications built for many of the major mobile and TV platforms (using Javascript, Objective-C, Java and more) and you as a part of the team will have the opportunity to get involved in many of these different platforms.

If you are an experienced developer comfortable with web or front end technologies of any kind but especially if you are skilled with JS, Ruby, Rails, Node or Golang we have a place for you here.

Specifically we are looking for:

Front End/Senior Front End developer - JS applications (we work on web, smart tv's, game consoles all with JS)

Android - become our primary Android developer and lead all of the Android efforts for our product

HubSpot - http://www.hubspot.com - Cambridge/Boston, MA

We create software that helps businesses with their online marketing. The company is several hundred employees and nearing a hundred in engineering. Things are organized in small teams and you get to have a big impact. We were also named the #2 place in Massachusetts to work.

On the backend, we use Java (modern Java with DropWizard, Guice, and the like) and Python (Django). We love using JSON to get things done. For storage, there's HBase, Hadoop (for MapReduce jobs), MySQL, ZooKeeper, Redis, and Memcached. We do great monitoring and deploy hundreds of times a day. We use CI and have automated deployment. Don't expect your code to languish in git (we have GitHub Enterprise) for long.

On the front end, we use Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, and jQuery.

We're also looking for iOS and Android engineers.

Work schedule seems flexible (most engineers work 10-6), you get great equipment (like a Retina MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt display), and you get to make a meaningful difference in the product. There's free drinks (including beer), snacks, etc.

It's a great place to be and hope you come join us! We have lots of positions open.

San Francisco, CA Mixpanel (YCS09; http://mixpanel.com) is the most advanced advanced analytics platform ever for web & mobile applications.

Mixpanel is profitable, with thousands of customers and millions in monthly revenue.

ENGINEERING CULTURE

Our engineering culture:

  * We do very thorough, line-by-line code reviews using GitHub pull requests. This keeps our code quality high and helps us learn.
  * We try to have two people work together on every project (collaborating, not pairing). It's more fun and it results in better code.
  * We practice rapid iteration. If it's better than live, we ship. We also build things so they can go live (whitelisted) long before launch day.
  * We write tests for things that are mission-critical, prone to failure, or cause paranoia. Think billing and datastore code, not Django views.
  * We care about learning. Right now we're reading through Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment.
  * We currently have 9 vim users, 2 IntelliJ, and 1 emacs holdout.

ENGINEERING POSITIONS

We have two types of engineering positions available - systems and product. Both of these positions require you to be able to work in San Francisco, CA.

Systems engineers build and scale our infrastructure, and write mostly C, C++, and Python. We are working on a number of new products right now with serious infrastructure challenges and we need more people with great depth to help us solve them. This position requires at least 4 years of experience.

Responsibilities of this role include:

  * Working on our custom datastore (written from the ground up in C)
  * Scaling the data processing pipeline (currently handling > 50K requests per second)
  * Building notification delivery infrastructure (currently sending > 100M emails & push notifications per month)
  * General improvements to performance, reliability, and security
  * Work with the rest of the engineering team to design, build, deploy, and maintain systems

If you're interested in a more full-stack role, check out the Product engineer position: http://boards.greenhouse.io/mixpanel/jobs/7910

The engineering team is still small (12), and there's a lot of interesting stuff to do. Happy to talk details.

If you're interested, drop me a line - tim@mixpanel.com.

Redwood City, CA - INTERN, VISA

No remote, but we do offer relocation and visa sponsorship.

Summary: We’re profitable, very open as a company, and supportive, and we need more engineers. EdTech.

Full description: Course Hero, the leading platform for crowd-sourced educational materials, is looking for a software engineer who can hit the ground running. Our team releases code every day to millions of people, so we're looking for someone who can take on challenges, build new features, and iterate quickly. Each engineer has a role in building Course Hero's architecture and will have the opportunity to touch all parts of the stack. Our projects are big -- terabytes of data and customers around the world -- but our team is small, so you’ll see projects from start to finish, working closely with product managers and designers to ensure successful results.

Our company culture is very open, flat, and transparent. We succeed and learn together. Our office is very comfortable, has a lot of natural light, and great amenities like a gym and walking trails onsite. We’ve tried hard to make this a pleasant and inspiring place to do creative work.

Most importantly, we seek to hire individuals whose personality, integrity and passion for our business make our team better as a whole. We’re growing fast, profitable (yes, it’s true!), and looking for another core team member to push us toward the future.

Our stack is LAMP (PHP/Symfony) + jQuery and AngularJS, but we’re open to people with all kinds of experience. iOS would be a nice bonus.

Acquia is hiring for a variety of DevOps roles - Boston, MA Acquia Cloud is a platform as a service tuned to run some of the largest websites on the planet. Although we're focused on Drupal (essentially the largest open source project in the world) on the cloud team we utilize a variety of languages and operate a polyglot PaaS engineered for enterprise needs. We're one of Amazon's largest customers and run over 8000…

Andrew didn't ask, but I thought I'd just add my 2 cents:

I've been at Acquia for a few years and it's a fun place to be. Running a system on such a large scale is one of the coolest things I've done in my career so far and there is something new and interesting happening every day.

Something that is appealing (at least to me), is that the team is running a very "professional" process. All of the commits are code reviewed and have passing tests, the colleagues are all great and impressively capable engineers. Everybody is excited about adding things like code metrics, good refactorings and helpful tooling (travis ci, ...). Even though it's a somewhat "streamlined" process, there is still enough time to fix those annoying little things (Upgrading the Ruby version we use, restructure our puppet manifests for logical consistency, ...).

It's a great place to learn and work in a team that actually lives the whole DevOps idea.

Andrew (syrneus) is an Engineer and understands the problems that business requirements can have with the current way we're doing things.

Ok, enough now before the marketing department tries to get me to write a blog post ;)
