San Francisco, CA - Weebly (http://weebly.com/jobs.php)

Front-end Web Engineer HTML5 Mobile Engineer Android Engineer Back-end Web Engineer MySQL DBA Web Designer

We're a bit different than your average startup. We're a small team that loves what we do. We only hire others who love what they do, too.

Even though we're very profitable, we don't hire just for the sake of it; we hire the best people, then trust them: it's the thinking behind our no-limit vacation policy and company credit card for everyone.

We love building things and we focus on being productive, not the amount of time you spend in the office. We hate meetings, so we only have one per week.

We put a lot of effort into making Weebly a fun place to work for people who like getting things done.

Our millions of users love us (check out our blog comments). We have a net promoter score over 80% (higher than Apple's).

Running 2% of all of the websites on the Internet presents some interesting technical challenges. Making a complex task super simple and intuitive is also an ongoing challenge.

Austin, TX [US/Canada/EU remote ok] - WP Engine (http://wpengine.com)

The only managed WordPress platform invested in by Automattic, hosting WordPress for the likes of Foursquare, Asana, Soundcloud and many big name household brands. Security and scalability is what gets us going, along with being part of the WordPress and OS communities.

We're still a small (~7 person), funded startup looking to expand the team due to the tremendus growth we've seen over the past 12 months. We currently have positions for:

PHP Software Engineers

* Bringing the highest level of quality and best-practice to PHP engineering.

* Developing both WordPress-code (some of which will be submitted to the open source project) and internal customer-facing projects.

Linux Server Admins

* We run our own bare-metal hardware because we're so optimized for speed, yet we deploy new servers all the time due to our growth.

* You are confident working with high-availability SOA clusters of memcache, varnish, nginx, apache, mysql, etc.

* You want to automate the shit out of everything - we do too!

You can find out more about what we do, how we do it and why we do it at http://wpengine.com/careers/ - where you can also find out more about our positions.

As you would expect we offer a competitive salary, equity, benefits, and a fun environment to work in.

Reston, VA (west of Washington, DC) - FULL TIME, INTERN, CONTRACTOR (H1B maybe if already in US)

Lucidmedia Networks - http://www.lucidmedia.com

Growing Internet ad network looking primarily for generalist Java developers (experience with SQL and front-end web dev would be great too). The Internet advertising industry is quite complex behind the scenes and somewhat parallels the structure of the financial markets. We are analogous to a high frequency trading firm, buying page views to serve ads on behalf of advertising agencies in real-time on exchanges like that of Google or Yahoo. Our server software runs on Spring, MySQL, Redis, and AWS at a glance. We handle about a billion page impressions a day. Big data, big throughput.

Small yet experienced team, catered lunches _everyday_, your choice of Mac or PC (all devs are Mac now), good benefits. Our office has superhero posters all over the walls.

Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.

We've hired a full-time dev (me) and intern through HN "Who is Hiring" threads. These things do work!

Just to add some clout to this one, I'm doing consulting for WP Engine and @patio11 was here for a week in January. Jason, the CEO, is an amazing person to learn from, as he's already had one successful exit, and he builds a team that's the best of the best. We also have a great office space in downtown Austin and are flexible with remote workers.

Highly recommended that you look at applying here--even if you're from another country. (Especially if you're an awesome sysadmin who knows WordPress and lives in another country--we're actively looking for those right now.)
