Sifteo - http://sifteo.com

We're looking for software generalists, but have immediate needs in the frontend realm: designing & implementing the interaction experience with our software, both on the web and within a Qt/WebKit web panel in our desktop software. This position sits right in the middle of our stack, interacting directly with the user, with the web backend, and with the interface to our hardware.

We've just shipped our first units, and need help building out our platform, creating an SDK, and making sure that our users have great experiences. We're well funded, and have been getting lots of good press.

Software: JavaScript/Qt/C++/Python, Rails on the server

Drop me a line at liam at sifteo.com with any questions!

Can't help but feel like this might be a bad day for this thread. You would think people could set aside the jokes in an obviously serious thread such as this one. Unfortunately, as evidenced by some of the submissions already, this seems not to be the case. Ugh.

And you'd also think that people would stop taking themselves so seriously for a day that they could actually smile... but hey, what would I know?

Philadelphia, PA The Center for Biomedical Informatics at the Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia Research Institute needs a Quality Engineer/Programmer to establish quality assurance as a core competency of our rapidly growing, entrepreneurial R&D software group. We’re looking for a unique individual who is interested in moving beyond typical QA roles and responsibilities, someone who is driven to create new methods…

Just to add to this:

Our group has a lot of elements that resemble a startup. So for those of you who might be "lurkers" who are a bit afraid of a startup, our group can provide you with some of the benefits you might be craving: small team, interesting projects, wide technical leeway (we like the right tool for the job), and a fun work environment.

Some of the things we've been using lately:

- Python/Django

- JavaScript (jQuery, Backbone, and many more)

- Scala

- Java (when we have to)

- PHP

- Objective-C (for mHealth iOS apps)

What we really need for our current position is someone who has solid QA experience and is looking for a leadership opportunity. You would be starting from scratch in a very fluid environment and you would set the direction for our QA efforts. Our work is in research, which has traditionally tolerated perpetual "beta" software, but we're trying to change that and build high quality "commercial grade" software. This includes not just traditional testing, but also defining repeatable processes for deployment, change control, system availability, etc...

Raleigh, NC

Power Analytics Corporation

We write software to model and simulate large important power systems, like Micro-Grids and Data Centers, in real time. As a software developer here, you would get to write a lot of new code and work with some very smart engineers.

We are looking for a software engineer with experience in electrical power systems or process control who has strong skills building APIs using C# and WCF. Web development knowledge such as Javascript and SVG would be a plus.
