Boca Raton, FL | Vicinitas Cancer Care | SYSTEMS ADMINISTRATOR

Vicinitas Cancer Care (www.vicinitascancercare.com) is looking for a full time on-site Windows Systems Administrator to help us build the technical backbone of our new company. We have just deployed a highly-virtualized on premise architecture to support our authentication, email, and phones (Active Directory, Exchange 2013, Lync 2013, respectively) upon which we will build the rest of our systems in a hybrid cloud model. We need your help to manage and grow these existing systems and the new ones we are looking to utilize. An ideal candidate has experience with Exchange, Lync, or both and is familiar with Microsoft's cloud offerings.

We are a well-backed start-up of entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders who are working to change the face of cancer care, one patient at a time. Vicinitas is Latin for neighborhood and represents our model of making world-class cancer care available to patients throughout the country in a setting close to home. We bring a network of local oncologists and telemedicine-based integrative specialist together with a nurse care manager to provide tightly-coordinate care otherwise unavailable to the patients we treat.

This position will report directly to the Director of Technology (that's me!) and will be the second technical team member. We are only a few months old and looking for someone that is excited for this opportunity to grow with us. Join me in changing the face of cancer - VicinitasTech@vcc-hope.com

CTO / Founder | EF | London We're a new kind of startup accelerator; investing in top-tier developers pre-idea and pre-team. We bring together the best developers into cohorts where they can find co-founders and get support to help them through the early stages of startup building (figuring out ideas, customer development, fund-raising). We've had two cohorts so far resulting in twenty companies; they’re currently wo…

Out of interest: why do you set an upper limit of experience on 4-5 years? This way you effectively limit the age at 25-26 (graduating from school at 18, three years to get B.Sc. in CompSci and then the period mentioned).

The age of leaving uni actually varies quite a bit across Europe, so we get a fair number of applicants above that range.

We try to build the cohorts to maximize the number of potential co-founder pairings and part of that means it has to make sense for people to cofound together; i.e. for them to roughly have the same levels of experience.

It's also about being able to get the best people. We're very focused on finding exceptional developers, exceptional senior developers are often CTOs or leaders in major companies with strong networks and the ability to easily raise money and build teams without our help.

Exceptional junior developers are often still in lower level positions at places like Google or in hedge funds; we're offering them an opportunity to be more than just a cog in the system and that's what we're finding attracts them to us.

Clerky - REMOTE - Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails, Javascript)

Help fix the legal industry!

The way legal transactions are done is filled with inefficiencies, which leads to ridiculously high legal fees. We're fixing this by building software that automates and streamlines the process. We're profitable and growing. We launched a company formation service last year, and are now one of the most popular ways for high-growth technology startups to incorporate. Y Combinator and 500 Startups both use our software to handle their investment paperwork.

If you are interested in fixing the legal industry, this is arguably the best place to be (no hyperbole).

We use a lot of Ruby on Rails and Javascript, so familiarity with these technologies is a requirement. That said, we're not religious about any particular technology - we believe in using the right tool for a given problem (we also have services written in Scala and Go). We have extensive spec and feature coverage, and have everything hooked up to a continuous integration server.

This is a great fit for people who want to work:

... at a product-driven company bringing an old-fashioned industry into the future

... on a product that has a lot of usage and visibility in the startup community

... in a company that strongly values good software development practices

... at a financially sound company

... hard, with ownership and dedication (but sustainably)

... with flexible hours and competitive pay

... where you'll be a key early hire

Some hard requirements we have:

- An inability to write anything but clean, maintainable code.

- Bothered by code without test coverage.

- 5+ years of experience building software as part of a team with strong development practices

- 5+ years of experience with Rails and Javascript

We are not looking for consultants. This position is for full-time employment.

If all of this sounds good to you, please send (1) your resume and (2) a code sample that you're proud of to jobs at clerky.com.
