Qubit - London - Full Time

Qubit enables people to personalise their websites by connecting a data-store of visitor state to a framework for UI components that make it really easy for marketers to make use of their data.

Having recently got Series B funding, we are really ramping up our development team and are looking in particular for:

* UX designers and

* full stack Javascript engineers.

Our product is based around making technical problems easy for non-developers so we really like having UX experts working closely along side our engineers as we release new iterations of our product.

Our tech stack is constantly growing with new tools that help us work better: at the moment we are excited by Flux, React.js, SuitCSS and finding smart ways to deploy our SOA backend, based around Node.js.

We help each other grow with 1:1 mentoring, coding dojos and pairing. We open source as much as we can. We are constantly striving to improve our coding and our development processes.

If that sounds like your sort of place - drop us a line at careers+HN@qubitproducts.com, telling us a bit about yourself and what you are after.

TripleLift - http://triplelift.com/ - New York, NY - Full Time

We're looking for both back and front end developers to help scale our tech. We've found our product market fit and are now focused on execution - we've been redesigning and rewriting a series of applications to be highly performant and concurrent since we're seeing significant volume now and trying to get ourselves ready for the next step.

Our product is a way for website owners to ditch banner ads in favor of native ads that will allow them to design their sites the way they want without having to worry about monetization from the beginning. When they are ready they include a bit of JavaScript and we will dynamically resize/crop ads and leverage their existing HTML to make sure the ads provide a less disruptive experience.

Feel free to email me at dgoldin@triplelift.com with any questions!

Entrepreneur First Media Stream 2015 - LONDON

£18k pre-seed funding + optional £50k convertible note

6 months free office space + support

We don't want to hire you, rather EF’s mission is to support the world’s best technical talent to turn the technologies they care about into scalable, valuable businesses. Our talent-first approach means we never know at the start of a programme exactly what kinds of businesses are going to emerge by the end.

From March, EF participants building media/tech companies will receive extraordinary access to senior executives, operators and buyers within the media world to help them generate, validate and monetise their ideas, over and above the support EF usually provides. The partners at Advancit and Freelands - Jon Miller, Shari Redstone and Elisabeth Murdoch - are some of the world’s most experienced media entrepreneurs and executives

Among many other things, we’re particularly interested in:

Virtual reality - including applications across communication and entertainment

Personalisation driven by machine learning / AI

Short form video

Mobile-first content models

Models and technologies around online talent

Disruptive Content Businesses

eSports

We'll help you to test and generate ideas, sell products, and fund your growth.

APPLY NOW The Media stream is initially part of our March 2015 programme. Applications are open until 1 March 2015 at http://joinef.com/apply

The application process and selection criteria are the same as for the normal programme. If you have a technology-focused media business idea or have deep technical expertise that could be applied to media, we’d love to hear from you.

Feel free to drop me an email: zoe@joinef.com
