Boston, MA - Ruby/Rails Engineers Earth Aid ( http://earthaid.net ) is newly venture-backed by Point Judith Capital as well as strategic and angel investors who have built and scaled some of the most successful businesses today. We've been called "the killer app for energy efficiency" ( http://bit.ly/dZBy7q ) and our work has been featured in publications such as Mashable ( http://on.mash.to/hqyZqF ), TechCrunch, The…

So it looks like you are making energy savings into a game? Monitization I presume from tie ins to companies that sell energy star equipment, leads for solar (at least in MA) etc?

New York, NY

OpenSky is celebrity curated daily deals. I'm looking for a frontend hacker / designer to replace me in my current role working on marketing projects. Particularly someone with talent in CSS and jQuery.

OpenSky is on a serious hockey stick growth curve at the moment. To the point where the company has pretty much doubled in size in the 3 months I've been here...

I've posted the details here: http://www.startuply.com/Jobs/Front_End_Web_Developer_Design...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've never heard of a Vietnam startup. Are there a bunch of you guys out there?

Not really. Ours is founded by an American who has lived here for 11 years and, having previously founded and sold companies in France and California. It's sort of an American company in Vietnam, more so than a Vietnamese startup :)

Neat.

New York, NY - Multibillion-dollar hedge fund looking for an exceptional programmer to join our core development team.

We build the tools and engines used by the fund's portfolio managers, traders, quantitative analysts, and back office team to develop trading strategies, analyze risk, and manage day-to-day trading operations across a wide range of markets. We are language-agnostic, but would like someone who knows at least one general-purpose language (C++, C#, Java, etc.) and one get-it-done scripting language (Python, PERL, etc.) well enough to create rock-solid, production-quality systems.

Strong financial mathematics skills are obviously a plus, but those can be taught (and we are happy to teach you). What cannot be taught, and what we seek most, is an intense passion for programming and the desire to tackle the types of difficult problems found in the financial domain. If this sounds interesting to you, please email hropportunity1@gmail.com (sorry for the throwaway address, but for various reasons we cannot publish our actual contact info). Or, if you prefer, contact me directly through my HN profile.

Boston, MA (not remote) MDT Advisers - We're a small quant investing shop working with machine learning, financial analysis, and the hardest dataset in the world. We're mainly hiring for a general analyst position that’s about 60% programming and 40% financial and statistical analysis -- http://www.mdtadvisers.com/careers/qea.jsp .

If you don't mind me asking... If someone were already a good programmer, what is the baseline financial/statistical knowledge?

Seattle, WA - Software Development Engineer

AWS - My team is looking for software engineers passionate about building new web services. If you’re interested in building high performance distributed systems, come join a new AWS service and influence the direction of the leading cloud provider. We have several positions for a range of experience levels. If you’re not in Seattle but are up for a change of scenery, Amazon has a great relocation program that makes it extremely easy to join AWS.

To apply, send your resume to aws-jobs-fast-yc@amazon.com.

AWS is an unique mix of startup culture/autonomy combined with the ability to leverage the incredible infrastructure of Amazon/AWS. I’ve worked in AWS for the past year and I’ve learned more in that time than I thought possible. I’m an infrastructure person at heart, and at other companies I’ve worked for, I’m always torn between doing the deep engineering that I love, or working on a more customer focused product. In AWS, they are one and the same. I like having scalability, availability, and performance as core features of the product I’m building. Another thing I love about working in AWS is the impact your work has - your service is used by thousands of developers, and those developers use your service in ways you never imagined, which are then used by millions of people.
