San Francisco, CA Venuetastic (YC W11) is hiring a full-time generalist engineer (INTERN, REMOTE)! (http://venuetastic.com/jobs)

Remember when the travel industry was stuck in the olden times but now you buy all of your plane tickets online? We're doing the same thing for the event industry and would love to have you join us!

The job posting is reproduced below in its entirety but we care most about your personality, being sharp and having a "getting things done" attitude. If you're intrigued, get in touch via jobs@venuetastic.com

We're looking for a team member who can work across the full stack - frontend, backend, or sysadmin work. Encouraging knowledge transfer is a high priority for us: we believe that any engineer should be able to patch a hole in any part of our stack.

You'll be involved as much or as little in the product discussions as you'd like to be, and work with a team that believes in moving quickly, pushing often, and wasting as little time as possible.

Technologies we use include: Ruby, PostgreSQL, Git, Solr, Heroku + EC2, and a bit of MongoDB. Familiarity with any or all of these is a plus but not required - experience with equivalent technologies will be fine.

All positions offer competitive compensation, generous equity packages, healthcare, flexible hours, a fun team dynamic and beautiful 28th floor views.

Shopping search engine startup in London, UK (INTERN, REMOTE)

I'm building a shopping search engine, focused on helping people decide what to buy from hundreds of product options. This is not another cute mobisociofoto app. This is a business which solves a problem for a lot of people, and has a business model from day one.

I am rapidly building out the first version of the product as per my vision, but need help with various supporting tasks to speed up the development. The current stack is Ruby on Rails, MySQL, jQuery hosted on a VPS.

I need help with:

    Setting up new Linux servers, including VPS and AWS
    Getting data feeds from various UK retailers and affiliate networks
    Scraping sites which do not have data feeds
    Building systems for speeding up manual editing and correction of product data
    Building backend admin tools
    Documenting everything in a wiki
You'll get real responsibility and real power to do things the way you think is right. I'm a solo founder, so I expect you to learn, teach and document infrastructure stuff to help me focus on the core product.

I expect a good standard of work, so you're not expected to work for free. You'll get paid in cash, books and gadgets. And beer :-)

If I like working with you, I will offer you a job down the line.

My email is in my profile. Please get in touch for more details and tell me about yourself.

Cambridge UK B2B (stealth) start-up is looking for Technical Co-Founder

I’m a Postdoc at the University of Cambridge. I work extremely hard and am interested in product and business development. I'm looking for a hands-on technical co-founder to help me build an MVP and successful company.

The idea is a web-based platform that puts the 21st century into market research by utilising smartphone applications and their developer communities.

I’ve pitched the idea to industry experts and received great feedback. I’ve since been accepted into an incubator and need to find a second developer to join me (salaries committed for one year plus founder equity).

If you’re a self-motivated developer who likes the idea of disrupting a large market then please get in contact, whatever your experience and preferred technologies.

Get in touch - d.gutmann@pojonow.com
