Subscription based social hyperlocal mobile gamified dating discovery engine with loyalty coupons. For the enterprise.
Just kidding.
We're a stealthy team of product generalists, ML engineers, and even a neuroscientist filling a hole in the universe by building software that enriches the human experience. Everyone on our team codes and contributes on every level, front to back. We've all built web scale products and scaled them to millions of daily active users with zero marketing spend.
The world is becoming a different place: everyone is going to be carrying around a network connected super computer with ambient sensors in their pockets. We can see the future that is enabled by these devices. We are making that future happen.
Real talk: We've been running our prototype for 5 months now and we all use it multiple times a day, every day. Every person we've shown it to has asked us if they can have it. Every single person who's installed ithas gotten mad when our testflights expire. This is, verbatim, what one of our investors had to say after running it for a week:
"Just wow. It's so magical. So easy. In fact, almost too easy. I'd insert something in the first time user experience that is whimsical and funny like: "making the magic happen..." And then boom suddenly your whole life shows up as an archive. I just can't get over this. So stunning. You've achieved what few could."
We are well funded by a long list of top tier investors: http://angel.co/herelabs
We're looking for a select few product designers (technical people with a portfolio of mobile work) and mobile engineers (who know iOS inside and out and have good taste in design) who can come in and contribute at speed on day one and who are world class at more than one thing.
Ideal candidates are brilliant, fearless, and passionate individuals who are uncompromising in their pursuit of building an incredible product that will positively affect the lives of every human being every day.
As teammates we value commitment and accountability; honing our craft; building tools to create leverage; and seeking to learn from and understand each other.
We are offering founding team equity and competitive salaries. Office space in the heart of the SoMa in beautiful San Francisco. $10K budget for equipment ready the day you start. Exec budgets, gym memberships, team lunches. Willing to relocate. Willing to fly you in for interviews. Willing to tell you our stealthy secrets.
We are not your typical San Francisco stealth startup. We are NOT another me-too-social-local-sharing app. We DON'T sell condoms by subscription. We are NOT the place to share photos of your dog taking a leak. There will be NO gamification.
Life is short. Build stuff that matters. Email siqi at herelabs.com.
We're looking for a JavaScript developer to work on our CAD-type app done in SVG, JavaScript, and jQuery.
We sell electrical power system simulation and modeling software into data centers, oil and gas, manufacturing, and government. Help us work on the web-based interface to our simulation engine. You will help built a CAD-like WYSIWYG designer using SVG, Canvas, and JS.
Take a look at Google Doc Drawings. It's done in SVG. This is the kind of program we're working on. Does this sounds interesting to you? If so, we want to talk. Also, we're looking for someone who understands web frameworks and databases. We use C# ASP.NET MVC, but if you have experience with Java, Python, or Ruby web frameworks you'll be fine.
You'll need to have at least a couple years experience writing object oriented JS and understand standard web stuff like caching, AJAX, CSS, etc.
Email rkoopman@poweranalytics.com and mention Hacker News in the subject.
We are a funded startup looking for Python/Django developers and sysadmins with AWS experience... or ideally someone who ticks both of these boxes. As Fashiolista is growing rapidly, we are on the lookout for new team members who can help us scale the site and keep up with our growth.
Although we are in the fashion industry, a love of fashion is not required. If you love hacking open source applications and scaling high-traffic websites, you'll fit right in. We encourage our team to work on open source projects where possible, and attempt to open source many of the components we build ourselves. We are looking for "T-shaped employees" (a la Valve) who can contribute to a number of areas in the business.
Our stack consists of, among other things: - Django - Celery - SOLR - Redis - Memcached - PostgreSQL - AWS (with heavy use of CloudFormation)
More information is available on our jobs page (http://www.fashiolista.com/jobs), you can also email me directly if you would like to discuss the role futher (email in profile).
The Ksplice group at Oracle
Does writing Python clones of your favorite childhood computer games sound like a fun weekend project? Would you hack on an old-school graphics demo that fits into a DOS MBR in your free time? Have you ever told a joke whose punch line was a git command? If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
We are a small, tight-knit team of 12 women and men excited to work on technology that most people will tell you is impossible: updating an operating system kernel while it is running. Our product, Ksplice Uptrack, is a subscription service for Linux that provides completely non-disruptive, rebootless kernel updates. (You can read more about the underlying technology at http://www.ksplice.com/paper)
We're looking for a systems engineer with strong Python experience: Help us bring the Ksplice Uptrack client to new Linux distribution releases, improve our server infrastructure, and develop and extend our REST API and Django-based web interface.
If this technology excites you, let's talk! Feel free to direct questions to me at jamie.iles@oracle.com or to jobs@ksplice.com. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.

Technical InternsAMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange market.
We are all engineers, and we design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets.
We are a very small team (I am currently the only employee). We will add one or two engineers to our team in the coming months and are looking for people who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.
No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

Booking.com is always on the lookout for good developers, team leads, DBA's and sysadmins on-site in the center of Amsterdam. I'm a developer there working on infrastructure tasks and relocated there just over two years ago and have been very happy with it.
We're currently looking to fill 25 developer positions (which matches our growth curve), and are also looking for senior team leads.
We have people from all over the world relocating to work with us and are very well set up to handle relocation and visa issues, most of the people working in IT are expats so we've got a lot of experience with bringing people in. All our internal communication is done in English so there's no need to learn Dutch.
We use Perl for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for development. We get our changes out really fast, it's rare for your code not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it. We're also very open to open sourcing code that doesn't contain any business logic, I've personally been involved in open sourcing a few of our internal tools, including https://github.com/git-deploy and a few CPAN modules.
I'd be happy to answer any questions at avarab@gmail.com and/or forward your resume, You can also apply directly at http://booking.com/jobs if you'd prefer.
1. Well, not H1B, but we'll take care of the Dutch equivalent. If you are not from the EU we will apply for a work & residence permit for you and your family if needed.
