Indiegogo (www.indiegogo.com)—San Francisco, CA

We're a team of engineers, musicians, tri-athletes, designers, activists, filmmakers, and writers, united by a shared passion to empower people across the world to turn their dreams into reality.

Realities like: * Helping the Oatmeal’s Matthew Inman to open a Nikola Tesla Museum: http://igg.me/p/204900/ * Rallying the YouTube community to increase nonprofit awesomeness in the world: http://igg.me/at/p4a2013/ * Building a 13-foot high statue of a T-Rex with Christopher Walken’s head: http://igg.me/p/390984/

Over the last few years, we’ve turned our vision of building the world’s funding platform from the dream a scrappy team of 5 into the reality of a 90-person team and $40 million plus in VC backing. Mo’ money, mo’ problems, eh? Our newfound scale has set us up to succeed as the open crowdfunding platform for the whole world—and scale brings a whole new set of engineering challenges that might interest you.

Do any of these challenges grab your attention? Let us know! * Dev/Ops Engineer (http://www.indiegogo.com/about/careers?jvi=oGtsYfwj,Job): help us build out the infrastructure that’s serving millions of dollars in funds raised each month * Software Engineer, Web (http://www.indiegogo.com/about/careers?jvi=oB0oYfwH,Job): we’re a Rails shop at heart; let’s scale that codebase to support the world * iOS Engineer (http://www.indiegogo.com/about/careers?jvi=oLSGYfw1,Job): help us build our first-gen mobile app!

Our engineering approach: * Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, iOS 7 SDK, Backbone.js, AngularJS, LESS, Elasticsearch, Amazon Redshift, Chef * We’re an agile shop (somewhere between XP and scrum), and our project teams decide their own working standards * We already have one of the most diverse engineering teams in San Francisco, and we’re working to change the tech community as a whole (see http://igg.me/at/LesbiansWhoTech/ and http://igg.me/at/BGCTheRemix/) * We’re language agnostic when we hire—we're open to talking to engineers with strength in Python, PHP, Java, Perl, etc., as long as you enjoy working with RoR and are willing to learn!

Our next year is all about execution—there’s never been a better time to join the team.

Weft - http://weft.io - Boston, MA (LOCAL) + San Francisco, CA (LOCAL) + Eastern Europe (REMOTE).

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================
We're a logistics visibility platform (read: Waze for Cargo). Weft tracks shipping containers using low-cost hardware to make sure that shipments get to where they're supposed to be on time and intact, saving billions in lost value due to cargo shrink and disrupted supply chains. We take the info we get from the hardware and figure out where the bottlenecks in the supply chain are, predict whether or not a shipment is going to make it to its destination on time, and dynamically reroute/reschedule shipments so that we can optimize the system as a whole. Really neat stuff. We're working on a lot of the things that happen once you have that data, but I can't share much about it here

   ===========================
   ===== How we do it ========
   ===========================
Web stack -> clojure (immutant) + postgres/cassandra/riak -- we use middleman + enlive (and a bit of hiccup) for templating, meaning that we're pretty flexible about frontend tech.

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

Hardware -> think cell phone on crack (atmel avr xmega, a bunch of sensors, gps, gsm, etc). Working integrated chip in the sub-$5 price point now! Have some pilots running with v1 hw.

   ===========================
   ====== And the rest =======
   ===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors!

Looking for help on mobile, frontend, and data science sides!

I should also probably mention that we have a team with a bunch of industry vets!

If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!

XP-Dev.com - Remote - https://xp-dev.com

XP-Dev.com does version control and project hosting (in the same market as Github, Bitbucket, etc). Profitable and bootstrapped.

Looking for backend and frontend engineers who would like to get their hands dirty in Subversion, Git and Mercurial. You will be working on new features on the platform that may involve work on the whole stack. You will be liaising directly with real users. Deployments are really quick, and you get to see the impact of your work almost immediately.

Stack:

  - Nginx, Apache
  - Java (Core, Wicket, Hibernate)
  - Python (mainly for scripting)
  - Linux
  - AngularJS, JQuery
  - MySQL
  - Redis
  - RabbitMQ
  - Fabric
There are other products in the pipeline - most of which are akin to xp-dev.com (hosting/productivity platforms). So, there is plenty of room to switch products and try out new things: https://deployer.vc, https://zoned.io amongst them.

What we're looking for:

  - Self starters
  - Sound understanding of programming
    you don't need to be a Java/Python/JavaScript guru
Benefits:

  - No keeping track of holidays
  - Flexible working hours
  - Flexible working conditions (see below)
Position location is remote. You'll need to factor in working from home or from a shared space near you (all will be paid for).

To apply, just drop a short cover email describing yourself and your CV to rs@exentriquesolutions.com

Future employee's rant (some previous experience):

A future employee's first experience at your company is his job application. When someone has taken the time to apply to your company, here are some things that would be nice if done:

* When you post that you are hiring, either here or elsewhere, please make sure to reply as fast as possible. Delaying action on job applications doesn't help both you and the candidate.

* Even if you are not interested in the candidate, sending a reply, however simple, helps in more ways than you can imagine.

(Sorry to hijack this thread)
