Draker Labs (http://drakerlabs.com/company/jobs), Burlington, VT (REMOTE okay for some positions and candidates)

Current openings include :

* QA engineer

* Web application architect

* Web development team lead

* Business technical analyst

Near term future openings include :

* Web application developers (REMOTE okay for exceptional candidates)

* QA engineers

* DBA

* Dev Ops

What is Draker?

Our CEO says: “Draker provides data acquisition, monitoring and control of large scale solar plants. Draker has achieved 300+% growth in the North American commercial solar market over the past two years, and expects continued exponential growth from expansion into the utility scale market.”

Our company goal is to make solar a viable option in the US and world wide, and to make enough money to support ourselves doing it.

As a developer I consider us the NewRelic/GA of PV monitoring. We are facing challenges such as scaling, storing and processing an ever increasing quantity of data, creating a compelling and dynamic user experience for a complex problem, and working with real time data.

This job means something and most people are here to help make that difference. This is an industry that matters and a unique opportunity.

Some of the technologies we are using: Ruby, Rails 3, SASS, Resque, Backbone, jQuery

Palo Alto/San Francisco/Anywhere (USA). Cloudera. http://www.cloudera.com/company/careers/

Lots of openings for engineers, ops, business development...

In particular, I'm looking for someone else to work with me on curriculum development and certification (you can work from anywhere in the US). If you can take technical subjects and make them interesting and comprehensible, you're the person I'm looking for. You'll have a technical background, and ideally you'll know Java in some depth. Bonus points for knowing Hadoop, HBase, or similar technologies, and/or for having experience in the certification field. Apply via the Web site or contact me directly (e-mail in my profile).

The link to www.timgroup.com/careers seems to be broken, and the general career page of www.timgroup.com keeps throwing errors at me. The 'we're hiring' link at dev.youdevise.com is also broken...

I'd love to read more about the career opportunities, is there some other way to access them?

Our business and products are growing rapidly and we're looking for someone with significant software engineering experience to come in as a mentor in the position of director of software development. You'll be a major player during our shift from a data company to a software company.

JDownloader - Nuremberg (Bavaria), Germany - full time, lots of perks

http://makeyourappwork.com

Who you'll be a part of: We're the developers of JDownloader, the market leading download management tool with over 15 million happy users. On top of that, we work on client-side applications for some of the top 200 websites worldwide.

With only 3 people, we're still a relatively small, but highly motivated team with high aspirations, great opportunities and an extremly optimistic outlook on the future. Joining us, you'll have the opportunity to experience rapid growth right when it's happening while actively being a part of building and growing a big company.

What you'll do: As (Senior) Java Developer, you're in charge of diverse responsibilities and work on them either alone or in teams. You're responsible for parts of JDownloader, but on top of that will also have your own projects or products, for which you take the lead developer role.

Because we usually don't have strict deadlines or draconic specifications, we expect you to prioritize and get things done by yourself. You should feel cozy in your code, but also keep an eye on things like SEO strategy, project- and product management as well as user interface and experience. Your own ideas and innovations for projects, features or products are more than welcome and will actively be supported.

Send your resume, links to your current/past projects, github/social profiles (HN for example :)) or whatever you think we should know about you to e-mail@appwork. We're looking forward to working with you :)
