Toronto, ShopLocket

ShopLocket is the fastest way to add ecommerce functionality to any web site, whether that's adding a simple shopping cart or taking preorders and charging later.

At ShopLocket, we're currently spending a lot of time on: - building a product that can live anywhere through the magic of third-party Javascript - turning our simple service into an API that other developers can build on top of - designing a tool that gets out of the way when it has to but be intuitive and pleasant to use when it can't - investing in automated testing so that we can adapt our codebase without (too much) stress and deploy confidently - giving ourselves a quantified view into how both buyers and sellers use our platform

We do our work in Rails, AngularJS, Coffeescript, Sass, deployed on Heroku; however, we're reaching that exciting stage where we're running into some of the limits of what these tools can do well.

We're looking for a VP Engineering, Backend Developer, Front-end Developer.

In exchange for your passion and expertise, we can offer a competitive salary, a great office in downtown Toronto, full benefits, and access to a variety of stimulants and depressants, where legal and appropriate.

Please get in touch: andrew@shoplocket.com

San Francisco

Intrans

Ruby Engineers, Android

The last 50 years has seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Intrans is here to change that by deploying the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping.

Over $30 billion dollars a month is spent trucking freight around the US. Without trucks, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry today still runs on phones and fax machines. This means hundreds of millions of dollars worth of freight capacity goes unfilled every month due to the old-school inefficiencies of the industry. We are changing that. We use our location-based technology to automatically match supply and demand.

If you're ready to transform the trucking industry, send your resume and GitHub profile to jobs@intrans.com.

FujiFilm Medical Systems - Morrisville, NC (sorry, no remote, relocation available)

Help us build a client-side framework for the next generation of medical imaging and medical information applications.

We need JavaScript experts to help us build a responsive (from 4 monitors workstations down to a smart phone) content and application framework. We’re all about high-performance JavaScript. We have a team dedicated to measuring the performance of every build.

Our challenges include:

* completely removing ActiveX from the enterprise medical world.

* Writing our own, faster versions of common JavaScript UI libraries.

* Writing JavaScript that runs on one window, and manipulates the DOM on another. Did you know that, in IE, you can’t invoke a constructor defined on one window from code loaded in another?

* Creating real-time messaging systems between browser windows, desktop apps, and servers across a large geographically distributed facility.

* Sharing the single JavaScript thread in a an N-window NM widget application.

Hitting aggressive cold and warm start times.

We’re still building the first version, a performant MVP, but when we start V2, there will be plenty of new challenges like writing 3D image viewers in NaCL and using WebGL and Canvas to display interactive radiological images.

Send me an email if you are interested: fuji@beechtreetech.com
