I'm a dev here, feel free to email me (carol at careerimp.com) if you have any questions.

Official job posting:

Fulltime Rails Dev

Careerimp is changing job searching, making it possible for jobseekers to gain insights into their application as they apply. Right now, we enable users to create a damn good resume with Resunate (resunate.com).

We code in Ruby on Rails and jQuery. We expect you to have a very strong foundation in programming and several projects behind you in developing web software. You should be someone who hates bugs to be found in your code, so you test it like crazy before deploying it. You are disciplined in development and can contribute in our transition to a more disciplined development culture. You like working with a designer to help style your features, and have a good eye for usability and aesthetics. You like to take skeletal user stories and flesh out the solution space. You think in graphs and algorithms, and are not afraid of complexity. You are bubbling with feature ideas.

There are a couple of major projects you will be working on with the team in the near future:

a) Developing an API for other apps to easily communicate with us b) Developing analytical tools for career centers c) Developing a utility for jobseekers to discover skills to improve d) Develop mechanisms to improve our matching engine e) Develop interesting social features that leverage social network APIs

We work in a designer space in Uptown Pittsburgh (between downtown and Oakland, across from South Side), which is co-inhabited by a giant poodle and other interesting tech companies. We like being co-located while working, and expect the same of you.

Friday afternoons you work on whatever you feel like. Seriously. We brew freshly ground single origin coffee at least twice a day. We will pay you comparable salary to companies our size, pay for half your health and dental insurance, and may provide you stock options.

Interested? Contact us at careers@careerimp.com

Note: This is a full-time position (40+ hrs/wk). Part-time contractors need not apply.

VR is an established and successful, privately held company in SF for the last 10 years. We work with Rails 3, Git, JQuery, Rspec, backbone.js, Haml, Sass, TDD, pair programming, agile development and other leading technologies (you don't need to have experience with all of these).

We're a 3-year old Clojure startup called Runa, and we're disrupting the eCommerce space. We've only taken a series A, and we're revenue positive, and will be profitable in a few months.

We're hiring for:

- Senior iOS Engineer - Front End Developer - Software Engineer (Python)

What we're about:

At News.me we're on a mission to create a new type of news product. We're building a product that will be fundamentally social, span multiple devices, and accommodate a variety of reading styles.

We believe in a Web organized around people, not pages; where discovery is social and happens across platforms. New devices like the iPhone and iPad are completely altering the way that users interact with content. They offer tremendous opportunities to create experiences that are personal and human. The news experience must be re-imagined for this level of intimacy.

We live, eat, sleep and breathe this stuff and want to work with brilliant people who care as deeply as we do about what we are trying to build. If that sounds like you, get in touch!

Here's what some people are saying about News.me:

"News.me is pushing the edge of what a social news stream looks like" (TechCrunch)

"An Eye Opening App...Seeing the online world through different peoples' perspectives is a remarkably unique way to experience news consumption." (ReadWriteWeb)

We are building a world-class team and are looking for people who want to: - Get in on the ground floor of a well-capitalized startup with a big vision - Collaborate with a small team on all aspects of product and business model strategy - Engineer a beautiful experience that touches millions of people - Explore the boundaries of emergent devices

Coursekit is trying to kill an entrenched incumbent (http://blackboard.com/) and bring social networking to education, and we want you to help build it.

We're looking for an engineer who is excited about joining a young team that's shaking up how education works. We always try using the best tool for the job. For now, we use CoffeeScript, Python, Node.js, Redis, as well as a still-unreleased CoffeeScript framework. If working with these technologies excites you, talk to us.
