Pivotal | ONSITE at many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many established offices worldwide (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming.

We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platform available. We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.

Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform available.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode (incubating), is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

Presently we're hiring engineers in Atlanta, Beaverton, Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Dublin, London, New York, Palo Alto, Paris, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Seattle, Sydney, Toronto and Washington DC. Most of these are hiring designers and product managers. Other roles are being hired worldwide also.

To see our open jobs and apply directly, follow this referral URL: http://grnh.se/xiy346

You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions.

Either of these helps me score one of our referral bonuses (did I mention our generous referral scheme?)

I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here.

Outcomes.com | Berkeley, CA | ONSITE | Founding Engineer | Full-time

Outcomes.com is an early stage digital health startup based out of Berkeley's SkyDeck accelerator. We help healthcare providers close the feedback loop by routinely following up with their patients after major surgeries or treatments using patient-reported outcome surveys and other forms of digital check-ins. We process and visualize the data to help care teams deliver more personalized, proactive and value-driven care. We're in a huge and growing market as reimbursement shifts from doctors getting paid for doing more, to getting paid based on their actual patient outcomes.

We have a launched HIPAA-compliant product with our first paying customers. We're looking for a founding engineer to help us take things to the next level, help define our future product and make it happen. In particular we're searching for someone who can work across our JavaScript stack (AWS/Aptible/MongoDB/Node/Angular/React/D3), understands security best practices, has experience in building self-service products, can lay the foundations to grow our team and is motivated to solve some of the toughest challenges in healthcare.

Interested? Please email me at francis AT outcomes.com - I look forward to hearing from you!

Center for Intl Development at Harvard | Product Manager, Data Visualization/Frontend Engineer | FULLTIME ONSITE Cambridge, MA (near Boston)

The Growth Lab (at the Center for International Development) is a research team that works to solve the issues of poverty in developing countries and focuses on the question, “Why do some countries grow while others don’t?” We are building a team of four/five people within the Growth Lab creating web based data visualization tools, largely funded by governments (past examples include Mexico, Colombia, Peru). We’re currently at one designer, one backend + data munger, one frontend engineer. We're aiming for one more mostly-frontend person who focuses on data viz, plus someone for a PM role - though we're trying to prevent everyone from getting too siloed, and trying to hire people who are T-shaped: specializing at one sort of thing, but curious about related areas. We work alongside a larger team of researchers with diverse backgrounds.

---

One of the more recent sites we worked on: http://www.datlascolombia.com/#/?locale=en-col One of our older sites, focusing on international trade data: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ Our head researcher, talking about our ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FeugaLv5Bo A neat webgl project one of our interns did: http://globe.cid.harvard.edu/

---

Regarding the frontend / data viz person: We're looking for folks who are comfortable with modern javascript / d3 and best practices, but also have a creative side. Previous work experience doing stuff like this and / or a portfolio with sample work is a huge huge bonus and the best predictor of success in our experience. The work would probably be a bit of data viz and a bit of general frontend development, but there are teammates to help with both.

Regarding the product manager role, see this gist: https://gist.github.com/makmanalp/bb7fb0cf50e3a44c2d1321a08e...

To get in touch, contact Andrea Hayes (andrea underscore hayes at hks dot harvard dot edu), preferably with stuff that you're proud of!

KickBack Rewards Systems | Full Time | Remote (US primarily; will consider international for the right candidate.)

  KickBack Rewards Systems
  http://www.kickbacksystems.com
  http://careers.kickbacksystems.com

KickBack Rewards Systems is a privately held company that specializes in customer specific marketing and payments for over 3000 US clients. Our clients include a half-dozen Fortune 50 companies, one of them is an anchor partner in our national coalition loyalty program. All of that dribble means we have a market, a product fit and are now continually adding value and enhancing our platform.

As the CTO and Director of Software Development I need some help! You will be joining a medium sized department of 40 who all commit to their projects as a labor of love and their lives work. If you are interested in any of these positions my contact information is located under my profile. Our stack? C (embedded device), Python (RESTFul web services), AngularJS, D3, MySQL, Chef, Ansible and I am certain I am missing two dozen things.

I manage the engineering, devops, qa and product teams. That means I get to guide our culture and values through hiring the right people and by setting the standard. I also get to reinforce boundaries, protect the team's interests and ensure I'm facilitating an environment at KickBack that allows for a world-class engineering team. At KickBack you will be joining an open, transparent and honest environment. You'll be treated with respect and you won't be required to lower your standards. Yes, we're a for profit business so at times compromises need to be made but they are discussed, debated and the negatives are understood very well when we do so.

We're like any other company, we have technical debt but we strive for perfection in ourselves and in our software product as much as the free market and customers allow. At any rate, we think our approach to management and operating a software development business is a breath of fresh air. I need to fill the following roles:

  - Senior Frontend Developer 
  - Senior Python Developer
  - Senior Test Automation Developer
  - Quality Assurance Manager

If you're interested in applying or hearing more, please email me.

NOTE: KRS has a healthy intern program but we keep a very personal and 1:1 relationship with our interns.

Unfortunately, at this time I'm not able to take on any more interns but email me in six months once these roles are filled by exceptional candidates and my team leads and developers are ready to mentor future experts.

Iterable (https://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA

Come join Iterable. We are 29 people bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer Internet companies like Google/Twitter/Facebook build internally to other large-scale companies. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century.

Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google/Yahoo/Zynga/Khan Academy/Palantir/CMU/MIT, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. This is an opportunity to join a super-fast growing startup, in a huge market and with a great team, while it's still early.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

  - Scale our messaging API
  - Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces 
  - Write software to build machine learned user models 
  - Make data visualizations for our email and user data 
  - Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

  - We are all very focused on self improvement 
  - Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want) 
  - We are chill and empathetic people 
  - The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

  - Scala
  - Elasticsearch
  - Postgres
  - Redis
  - ES6
  - AngularJS
  - Play Framework
  - RabbitMQ
  - AWS

You'll get to work with us at our new office at 3rd & Harrison in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me at aXRzYXVuaXhzeXN0ZW0raG5AaXRlcmFibGUuY29t or take a look at our open positions here: https://iterable.com/company/careers
