Los Angeles, CA - SpaceX Our team is looking for 2 more developers to help us build SpaceX's enterprise and manufacturing systems. We primarily use C# but experience in OOP languages such as Java or Ruby is just fine. We offer excellent benefits, pre-IPO stock, and free yogurt everyday =) Drop me a line at paulo[at]spacex[dot]com if interested.

I have zero connection to these people.

But let me say, forget all the web X.0/ruby/nosql rubbish. Working at spaceX seems like the sort of place you'll be telling your grandchildren about. Quora? Groupon? Not so much.

I mean, they build spaceships. Fucking spaceships.

New York, NY (remote not an option, sorry): foursquare http://foursquare.com We're hiring server engineers, operations engineers, and mobile engineers. Our backend is built with Scala, Lift, and some Python. Our main datastore is MongoDB, but we have some stuff on Postgres. We're hosted entirely on EC2. We develop mobile clients for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. We're a location-based social network that's cha…

This sounds very neat! I dabble in Lift and Scala, and I think a job working/hacking on that would be awesome - unfortunately I don't think I'm qualified quite yet.

Orlando, Florida - IZEA, Inc. - Senior Ruby Developer

http://toprubyjobs.com/jobs/6-izea-senior-ruby-developer

Izea is a really fun place to work, and you'd be working with a team of other ruby developers integrating with lots of well known systems (Twitter, Wordpress, Blogger, Oauth, etc).

Sites you'd be working on:

http://sponsoredtweets.com http://socialspark.com http://payperpost.com http://wereward.com (and iPhone app!) http://inpostlinks.com http://izea.com

We're only hiring locally, but we're doing the whole "we'll help with your relocation expenses", so if you're a Ruby dev who is interested in moving to Orlando, please apply!

Los Angeles, CA

Stealth-mode startup with solid funding. Currently have a team of 8 in the US and 4 in Europe. Looking for solid engineers in the LA area (telecommuting not an option, sorry). Experience building social networks or mobile development a plus (iOS or Android), but really just looking for solid engineers who fit with our small team. We aim to exit stealth by next summer.

Email questions to jaaronfarr [at] gmail.com

Unfortunately any important details require an NDA. Some people involved have been burned by early disclosure in the past, so we're playing it extra safe this time. And no, it isn't a social network, we just happen to have some typical social network features in the roadmap.

Sacramento, CA - Klicknation

We make games. On Facebook. But they're deeper and more interesting than other Facebook games, because we're gamers and we're not afraid to admit it. Our games were the first to feature animated battles, and we think they're still the best :)

Also, we're profitable, and not VC funded.

We've got two relatively successful Facebook games out, and we're always working on more. We've got some developers from some well known and established web startups, as well as artists who have worked with Marvel and D.C.

We're looking for developers. Must love games.
