Rackspace/OpenStack

Python/Virtualization/Scaling

https://rackspace.hua.hrsmart.com/ats/js_job_details.php?req... We are looking for a Sr. Python Developer who is interested in solving some of the most pressing problems in our industry such as how to scale the enormous demand for utility computing and how to fit that within the traditional business model of a managed IT offering. With cloud servers being the most basic building block for services that Rackspace will offer, our ability to deliver on features and scalability are paramount.

In addition to our primary goal of building our next generation cloud offering, we are building all the necessary tools and utilities to manage and sustain an ecosystem of users and developers of the Rackspace Cloud Servers platform. CloudFiles, Drizzle, Cassandra and other tools in development will be used. We are looking for passionate advocates of technology. We're looking for people who don't just use these these tools and services, but people that write them. It is one thing to start a virtual machine on a host, it is another to have the curiosity to read the source code and figure out how it all works. We are looking to balance the "been there, done that" with the "why can't we do it that way?" mentality of thinking. The ability to challenge assumptions and conventions is important.

San Francisco, CA Identified (www.identified.com) - Finding a job sucks! We think we can make it better, and we're looking for solid front-end and back-end engineers to help us prove it. You'll be working with a small but well funded team where every line of code you write matters. We use the standard tools of a modern web stack - rails, postgres, memcache, jQuery, etc, though we’re always open to (and encourage) new…

Cambridge, MA, USA (On Site Encouraged, but Remote Possible)

We’re a Very Profitable online retail/games startup based looking for someone to fill a full-time position as a Lead Developer of web applications.

We compensate very well, paying market rates or above for real talent. You may choose to substitute some equity for salary, but that is not mandatory.

We are looking for someone who:

- Has experience building complex web apps (think Facebook) and in PHP* - Has experience with AJAX/HTML - Is somewhat familiar with the LAMP stack ("full stack") and doing web app deployment to live servers.

*Though PHP doesn't need to be your favorite language; I’m looking at you Python/RoR evangelists!

A little about us: we are a small startup that is highly profitable. We bootstrapped our way to profitability by using minimum money and time (8 months). We are expanding to take on larger challenges and need a great programmer to work with us.

San Francisco, CA - Elation EMR Telecommuting considered for the right candidate http://elationemr.com/ We're a small (there's only four of us!), angel-funded startup building revolutionary electronic tools for physicians. Our investors include Ron Conway, who recently named us one of his 12 startups to watch: http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/16/ron-conways-crystal-ball-12... We're doing some really awesome things with…

If you're in San Fran, I cannot recommend looking into this company highly enough. I interviewed with them and was thoroughly impressed, and would have taken the job but chickened out on moving away from NYC. That's good news for you. Don't be put off if you know nothing about the health industry or EMR -- it's an exceedingly interesting space once you learn about it.

They're backed by well-networked investors with solid records of success, the founders are extremely familiar with the health industry and have a solid plan to take it on (not to mention, EMR is about to explode and all current implementations of it are stone-age), and the problems you'd be working on are absolutely awesome. You'd be creating a highly sought after product that's poised to create a tremendous amount of value, both in the way patients and physicians interact, and as a profitable product.

If UI and Javascript are your specialty, then I can guarantee you that you won't find more interesting work, and if you do, it certainly will not have greater possible upside or impact on an industry.

New York, NY

If you're at all curious about how over 4,000,000,000 requests are handled (over 120k/second at peak) each day, with each request having to return in under 50ms, and how all of this revolves around the almighty dollar, then perhaps you should consider AppNexus. A leader in real time bidding (it's OK if you don't know much about online advertising), we recently got $50m of funding and are looking to spend it on talent.

This business is exploding, and it's still relatively an early time to get in on it. The current position of the company combines the positives of both being a start-up, but also undergoing predictable growth and stability. Start-up pace, atmosphere, people, promotions, and equity, but excellent compensation, full benefits, and stand a very good chance that two years down the line your options will be worth something.

There's a wide variety of both junior and senior positions available. Front-end, back-end, sales, management, analysis, optimization... if you consider yourself an expert and are amicable, we're looking for you, and promise no shortage of interesting problems that we need you for.

As long as you're capable and motivated to learn on the job, you should probably apply. If you mention HN, we promise we won't ask you any questions about manhole covers.

Shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions. I'm not a recruiter, I merely work here, and a lot of this was my reasoning behind taking the job.
