Urban Airship is hiring full time senior software engineers in San Francisco and Portland.

We're looking for people to join our back end team (which is primarily Java, hbase, cassandra, high volume RPC services), and our web team (JavaScript, python/django, d3, etc...)

Our San Francisco location is a small, engineering and operations-focused office in SOMA. We have the feel of a much smaller company, but we operate at a scale of billions of events per day. If working on APIs that get called 40,000 times per second, all day, every day sounds interesting, you might like us.

Doing interesting things with a firehose of kafka events is also something we also do a lot of.

We support open source software and believe in good tooling (we just released a new project yesterday -- https://github.com/urbanairship/tessera; full disclosure - that was my project for our internal Hack Week recently, and we're now monitoring our metrics in production with it), and minimizing the obstacles to getting stuff done. We also believe in work/life balance, as well has having room for people to work on their side projects; most of our monitoring stack started as side projects!

In our backend stack, experience with Java, netty, protobufs, kafka, hbase, high volume TCP/IP messaging in general, designing and building REST APIs, postgres, postgis, cassandra, geolocation technology, automated testing and deployment are all valuable.

London, UK - Osper

We provide a real prepaid debit card for young people, aged 8 - 18, so they can make their own decisions with money: online, in shops, at cash machines and abroad. Thousands of kids have already signed up to our service.

But we not only give debit cards to young people - we are building a highly automated financial system that gives them unparalleled service. Behaviour-based security measures. Using and contributing to the best of open-source tools. Fully automated continuous integration and deployment. Hackathons to build the next big thing - what is that exactly? That's up to you.

We want to meet and work with geeks of all stripes - from sysadmins to server-side devs, testers to mobile coders, data crunchers to security analysts - with a broad and deep set of relevant skills. Some examples appear below but we're excited to talk with you no matter what your technical profile is.

Back-end developer

* Writing well-tested, readable, robust code in any modern programming language. (We mainly use Python, but don't worry if you know something else better.)

* Designing semantically meaningful, self-documenting, intuitive APIs, especially for server-to-mobile interaction.

* Integrating with sloppy, poorly-documented, sometimes buggy APIs from vendors - and hiding the mess behind a clean interface to ease everyone else's job.

* Building and extending a database schema that's meaningful, readable, and fast.

* Developing financial applications of any kind (but payment processing and PCI compliance win bonus points).

Front-end developer

* Designing and building amazing mobile and responsive-web experiences using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Extra points for native app experience, especially with PhoneGap.

* Consuming APIs on a mobile device - and contributing to their design and improvement.

* Automating tests for mobile applications.

* Using the top tools for elegant, beautiful front-end design and coding - we're currently fans of SVGs, web fonts, and Photoshop.
