New York City -- UI Architect -- SeatGeek

We're a data-driven search engine for sports and concert tickets. We're trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to make buying event tickets a wholly better experience.

We currently have a four-person dev team, but everyone prefers to work on the backend. We're looking for someone to come in and own the frontend of the web app, which will involve creating interfaces in Photoshop, brining them to life in HTML/CSS, and (ideally, but not necessarily) doing some Javascript work.

More details here: http://seatgeek.com/jobs/frontend/

London, UK - Junior Rails Developer

We're a startup who build business software. Our web app, ClaimAble, is for insurance claims management. It runs on Rails and MongoDB and we're looking for a kickass Rails developer to help us out. It would be ideal if you're a mean Ruby-coding-machine, but even better if you have an interest in the business development and creative side of things too!

For more info and application details: http://www.claim-able.com/jobs.html

London based is preferred, although we'd consider a remote position for the right person.

Dropbox has many full-time engineering, design, and support positions open in SF http://dropbox.com/jobs

I help manage user growth there so I can tell you with pretty strong certainty there is no better opportunity. Dropbox has very few people but is running at a huge scale already.

Los Angeles, CA and Silicon Valley, CA -- Factual

Remote work is a definite possibility, but in-person is highly preferred. We are looking for full-timers and interns.

Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. We have an awesome team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). We recently raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers include Facebook (we provide some of their Places data) and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

We're looking for awesome Java generalists. Bonus points for experience with MapReduce, developing NoSQL datastores and/or machine learning.

You can also email me personally at leo -at- factual.com

Columbus, OH. eRetailing Associates LLC (http://www.eretailing.com). We're currently looking for a fulltime mid-level software developer. This would be working at our office on the north side of Columbus.

What do we is sell apparel online (mostly geared towards women), that can be customized using our web-based design center. The main technologies are Perl/Flash/Javascript/HTML5 in an EC2 Linux/MySQL environment, although of course desire and ability to learn is fine in lieu of having experience with these specific technologies.

It's a fairly laid back work environment, and since the team (and company) is small, technical experimentation and lack of bureaucracy is pretty much the norm. We have several new initiatives in the works, so that's why we need to hire another developer.

Any involvement in development activities outside of work is a definite plus. Feel free to visit our website, take a look around, and send your info to jobs@eretailing.com if you're interested...
