SF/Sunnyvale,CA: Enyo JS Framework Engineer at HP/Palm

I'm the tech lead on the Enyo framework team (http://www.enyojs.com). We're just about to push our 2.0 version out of beta, and we need to staff up to deal with a lot of new work.

Enyo came out of work on the mobile tablet UI of the HP TouchPad, but has been rewritten to be a cross-platform mobile & desktop front-end framework, providing a OOP model for building app components and hooking them all together, all released under the Apache 2.0 license.

We're working on our Ares web-based editor for Enyo development, as well as expanding Enyo to better work with popular MVC frameworks and building our the UI widget set to include data-bound controls and better data visualization.

You'd get a chance to build the tools and code that will power lots of applications, both internally at HP and with lots of independent devs who came up through the webOS world and now are moving to support all the devices out there.

Check us out at http://enyojs.com/#jobs.

NationBuilder - Full Time - Los Angeles (Downtown), CA

Ruby on Rails Engineer - http://dev.nationbuilder.com/jobs

(Ruby, Rails, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Backbone.js, TDD, H1B)

NationBuilder is looking for web developers to join our team building the world's first online Community Organising System in downtown LA.

We are committed to excellence in engineering - we practice TDD/BDD, pairing, continuous integration/deployment and Scrum-style agile development. One of our favourite things to do is delete code. We're weird like that.

We move fast. Any developer can commit and have their code in production in under 20 minutes, including the test suite running. No bureaucracy, no branch-merging with code reviews, no scheduled downtime. Build a feature and get it into thousands of people's hands in under an hour.

We have a fun, creative, open culture that encourages free expression and diversity. You won't find brogrammers here, just great people doing their best work.

We're well-funded (Andreessen-Horowitz, Sean Parker, Chris Hughes and others) and we're looking to change the world.

Just a year after beta, we're already shaking up politics, the non-profit/advocacy sector, and enabling filmmakers and musicians to liberate themselves from old models of marketing and distribution.

This journey is just beginning, and an exciting road lies ahead. If you're interested in joining us, we'd love to talk to you.

Cheers,

Dan Walmsley VP of Engineering, NationBuilder

Neo (www.MyNeoLoan.com) - Palo Alto, CA - Full Time - Ruby on Rails Developer

Neo provides affordable car loans to consumers new to credit, such as youth and recent immigrants, by assessing their credit risk based on real-time financial and social data as these individuals have not yet built up a credit score. (Yes, it is about time somebody tried this, and we have the chops to do so)

We are a team of three, with high profile advisors. We have seed funding from a top VC. Our beta product is ready. We are gearing up to launch our pilot loan program in coming days.

We are looking for a serious hacker to join our core team and help us execute our pilot loan program. This is an opportunity to get involved in a cutting edge consumer risk analytics project that aims to disrupt the US credit system. Plus, consumers are our customers, so the project also involves working on all the cool tools consumers expect these days (web, mobile, social, etc). As a very early member of our team, you will have direct input into many of the decisions that will affect the future of our company

Drop me a note at navin@MyNeoLoan.com if you are interested.

New York / London - Bloomberg http://www.openbloomberg.com/jobs http://www.bloomberg.com/ux There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We do a huge variety of things and we like to run our teams with a startup results-driven feel. We are primary consumers of billions of incoming piece…

Bloomberg is a big company; you should know that this gig at BB is the real deal. Andrew and his team get absurdly fun projects working with data at a volume and of an importance very few startups ever get to touch. They're like the Google of money. Also, I worked with Andrew at a startup we did in '00 and would easily put him on my top 5 people I'd want to work with again. If you're debating reaching out about this…

Good place to work, if being a maintenance programmer for a monopoly with a massive enterprise-quality codebase is your thing. It's _very_ different from working at a start-up, but probably one of the better places to work in the finance world.

San Francisco, CA - Blurb

Blurb lets people tell their stories - currently through print-on-demand books, but increasingly through other venues.

We are both established and growing like mad (we were #47 on last year's Inc 500). We have a great group of people and a lot of fun challenges in the year ahead. We just launched a bevy of new products (our iPhone app is getting great reviews).

We play with fun tech: Ruby, Rails, ember.js, git, RSpec, Cucumber, Haml, SASS, RabbitMQ, Puppet, Obj-C, and more. We have great benefits, a great work/life balance, and we're in a great location close to the BART, CalTrain, and lots of food options.

We are currently hiring for many positions - front end, back end, QA and more - at all levels.

* We love Clojure programmers! *

Factual is hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, and Shanghai. Remote work is possible for exceptional candidates who are US citizens and living in the US ('exceptional' meaning you are a great engineer and have lots of machine learning/data extraction/NLP/etc. experience that is relevant to what we do).

Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider that enables developers, startups, and big companies to focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure, machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop. Our LA office is our headquarters and our Palo Alto office recently opened so new hires would have a huge impact on the culture there.

You can email me personally at leo -at- factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:
