Medidata - New York, NY; Hammersmith, UK; Tokyo http://jobvite.com/m?3baUZgwZ (All listings, select Engineering for the dev jobs) http://jobvite.com/m?3DiUZgwz (Application link for NY Software Engineer) We're an established company, we're doing good work, and we're in the middle of a hiring drive. Medidata's web services are helping make clinical trials faster, cheaper, more secure, and more effective. We've already helped some new medicine get approved and released to the world, and we have close to twenty open-source repos on github (https://github.com/mdsol/ and /mdsol-share) with more on the way. We're looking for developers who are willing to spend half an hour discussing whether a certain method should be a PUT or a POST. Experience with some kind of MVC framework is a plus, since we're mainly a Rails shop.

Google - Madison, WI. Sorry, no remote work, but Google does sponsor visas. All levels of experience welcome. We've recently hired an ACM fellow, as well as a new college grad.

Of course Google is hiring. So, why I posting this? Every time I tell someone I'm working at Google in Madison, they're shocked that there's an office in Madison, and I often hear people complaining about the lack of interesting technical work in Madison. There's fun technical work in Madison, I promise.

I'm working on a hardware/software co-design project that's attacking a fundamentally hard problem, which started as a 20%-time project. There are a couple other hardware projects in the office; most hardware projects start as prototypes of crazy ideas, and go from there. The majority of people here are doing low-level systems programming, usually networking related, and a handful of people are doing data analysis (call it big data, if you like) to figure out how to optimize Google's next generation hardware and software platforms. I'm sorry I can't describe projects in much more detail -- Google is pretty secretive about what goes into datacenters.

The office is small (just under 30 people), and manages to avoid any bureaucracy you might expect from a big company. The work is interesting enough that in the five year history of the office, only one person has left (and he retired to a ranch in Nebraska). Feel free to email me (see profile) if you have any questions.

https://www.google.com/about/jobs/search/#!t=jo&jid=2069001&

Edit: Interesting to see this downvoted. If you're downvoting this, I'd be curious to know why. Because Madison is in the middle of nowhere and you don't care about Madison? Because you don't like big companies? Because you're cynically trying to push your job post above this one? Because you think job postings need bullet points?

DuckDuckGo (Paoli, PA, USA) - LOCAL OR REMOTE.

We would welcome 1-2 additions to our small core search engineering team. This team works across our full architecture (https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/company/architecture) though does more back-end and data algo than front-end and dev-ops, which are primarily handled elsewhere.

Previous search experience or extensive experience with our particular architecture is not necessary, though this is not a junior level position.

Buffer (http://bufferapp.com) - REMOTE (We're a small distributed team of 12 people across the US, UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sweden and Australia)

I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We have just under 1 million users and are on a $2m annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead, as we're just about to pass 1 million users (any day now). We are expecting even faster growth as we focus on Buffer for business.

We're looking to expand our engineering team with the following open positions.

* Backend/DevOps Engineer

* Front-end Engineer

Here are some key stats about our technology and scale.

    - we have over 150k monthly active users.
    - 6000+ API clients. Most popular: Feedly, IFTTT, Pocket, Instapaper
    - we release changes several times a day
    - we have an entirely data-driven process, with Einstein and Buffer-Metrics, our custom built a/b testing and metrics tracking framework.
    - Some of the tech we work with: PHP, Python, MongoDB, AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, Elasticache, SQS), Backbone.js, Grunt.js, Android, iOS.
More stats and stack details here: http://overflow.bufferapp.com/2013/08/01/scaling-buffer-in-2...

We're a small team of driven hackers and happiness heroes (our support people). Just like you, we're excited and passionate about engineering challenges and have some interesting architecture and scaling problems we work on.

If you're interested in coming on board, you will:

    - work closely myself on technical architecture and Joel on product.
    - ship to thousands of users and iterate quickly
    - work with our metrics team to make smart changes
    - be friendly and comfortable talking directly to customers on issues and features
    - be a happy, positive-minded and kind person who has a great approach in dealing with others
    - be a Buffer user 
    - be anywhere in the world, and if you'd like, you have help and support from us to move to where you want to be
    - have experience working with another startup or building side projects before (would be awesome, it’s cool if not)
Some aspects of Buffer culture that makes us a little different:

    - we are totally transparent. We raised $450k, we currently have 1 million users and generate $160k/mo. Ask me anything else!
    - within the company, all salaries and equity are open and we have a formula for the distribution.
    - we're all very focused on self improvement - we have daily standups where we discuss our current improvements. This could be waking up earlier, starting public speaking, blogging, exercise, learning a language, etc.
    - here's our culture deck: http://www.slideshare.net/bufferapp/buffer-culture-03
Salary: 88k-110k depending on location (living costs) and experience. (http://99u.com/articles/15527/the-age-of-salary-transparency)

Equity: 0.5-1%

If this sounds fun, let's chat. Send me a note about yourself, why you’re interested in Buffer, and any relevant links (Github profile, projects and background): http://jobs.bufferapp.com
