San Diego, CA: Qualcomm R&D

Ready to change the world? We are working on the next computing paradigm: Neuromorphic Computing, literally computers based on the brain. Part of this effort is to create the tool, an IDE, to be used in the design and develop the neural systems based on our technologies. Think Eclipse or XCode for the brain.

The tool will be used to design, visualize, run and analyze large neural systems and we want it to be available to everyone so we are putting it on the web. To accomplish this we will be pushing the limits of what can be done in a browser. Utilizing all the latest technologies in HTML5: Canvas, WebGL, etc, to create a rich client side user interface as well as C++ for a high performance backend.

Must be familiar with the newest HTML5 Javascript APIs, e.g. WebGL and Canvas, as well as be a master at squeezing all the functionality out of the older APIs.

General OO design and C++ experience and a willingness to learn engineering based neuroscience also required.

OpenGL, GUI development, familiarity with Agile development practices, and a familiarity with the Linux development environment desired.

Anyone hiring in Toronto? (I see one, but there was another thread a couple of days ago where it was suggested that companies are having trouble finding people in Toronto... so I would expect more postings here if that were the case.)

Yeah, talk to the guys at Mantella VP, I think every one of their funded startups is hiring. Many smart people there. Also, FreshBooks. There is a YC company in Toronto called Upverter that I've heard is quietly looking for python/JS people as well as a grab bag of smaller more risky startups. Shoot me an email with your Github and I can help you out.

Currently seeking PHP & Javascript developers who are looking to rock out in the triangle.

A very quick note about us: at Argyle Social we have built a Social Media Marketing Software platform that helps marketers to Manage, Measure and Analyze their social media marketing efforts. We are building the best tool out there for marketers looking to prove the value of social media.

Do you like waking up in the morning excited about the code you are going to write today? How about being amazed at how awesome the features and products you build look when you're done? Have you always wanted to play with new big data technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL DBs?

This isn't just HR BS, we work pretty damn hard to ensure that the dev team is doing interesting stuff and getting to push the envelope with new and interesting technologies. We know that when you are challenged with something fun, you write better code - so that's what we do.

We use an Agile development that has evolved over time (and continues to grow with us) to work well with our small, limber team. It has allowed us to build an impressive amount of robust product with very few resources.

On the front end we have a very slick, intuitive, and clean UI (check us out at ar.gy). You'll be working with our designer on anything that requires front end work - you'll be in awe of what he can do. On the backend we are building up a pretty huge dataset that we get to rip into. Learn more about our infrastructure at taws.me/2011/05/meeting-1.html

Argyle is a Venture backed company that has been operating in the triangle since December of 2009. We have 10 full time employees and an office in downtown durham where the Coke Zero flows like a babbling brook and the gummy bears and Fiber One brownies are plentiful.
