NYC H1B shopkeep.com

The most dangerous labor of all was the twelfth and final mission. Eurystheus ordered Hercules to kidnap the beast called Cerberus who guards the gates of hell - the brazed voiced hound of Hades and a monster not to be overcome and that may not be described, who eats raw flesh, fifty headed, relentless and strong. Near the gates of Acheron, a weaponless Hercules found the beast waiting for him. He resembled a retailer’s point of sale system.

You are a Hercules incarnate. Your weapons will include CoffeeScript, Ruby, JVM, Mac/Win/Lin[1], iOS, Android, maybe even a little C. Help us crush the mediocre POS industry incumbents. Multiple headed beasts, they are tired, decadent organizations and veritable deserts upon which the seeds of innovation and creativity find no purchase.

ShopKeep is fixing point of sale and becoming the “last mile” for local. A profoundly disruptive solution, we have established a beachhead in a sector in dire need of innovation. A well funded NYC based startup, we are fixing technology depressed, mind numbingly overpriced, and overly complex POS solutions and making them less expensive and highly customizable for both very large and very small customers.

Help us as we take this battle to the next level. You will lead the development of our products. Your releases will immediately be running[2] in thousands of actual brick-and-mortar stores. Like this one http://bit.ly/tEn61i. And this one http://bit.ly/w1n3vc

Contact jasonrichelson on github or david@shopkeep.com for more info...

[1]Don't worry, the Mac/Win/Lin registers consist almost entirely of cross-platform code [2]CI + better auto-updating than Chrome!

SF Bay Area. Full Time. Founding Team. www.cinecandy.com

I am the founder of Cinecandy, the world's first Movie Studio As A Service (MSAAS, for cute). I've spent the past year solo and I am looking for a programmer and a designer.

Think of what moviemaking is: a writer, a director, some actors, a post production crew, and ultimately distribution. If you think which parts of moviemaking have been disrupted by technology, really only distribution has. The creation of movies, however, has not!

My vision is to completely automate the moviemaking process, from scripting, to directing, acting, post-production, and distribution. And Cinecandy will make it so easy that anyone can do it, and do it with their friends.

The first step in achieving that vision is a tool that will let people easily create group videos with their friends for special occasions. The example I like to use is the video shown at a wedding by the Best Man while he gives a speech - lots of well-wishing from friends and family in the video.

Because this initial set of users will show their videos in public, they are willing to pay for an automatically produced video. More if it's professionally edited.

I sold my last startup (www.gamemaki.com) and had a major flop with an app earlier this year:

allthingsd.com/20110425/meet-remember-it-an-iphone-app-born-of-a-hangover/

But I ship product and this one has me pretty stoked. More about me in my HN profile. Do reach out - I love talking about my baby!

Chattanooga, TN. Full-time, on-site.

Small, four-person creative/interactive team at EPB (electric power & fiber optics internet/tv/phone service provider). We're looking for our 5th member.

We have a great working environment:

* The only employees who aren't stuck in cubicles * Wear what you want (I've worn shorts & flip-flops the last 5 mos) * Top-of-the-line hardware--no cheap stuff * Really smart, creative team members who want to build great products

Current team: * 1 creative director/designer * 1 front-end UI/UX developer (who happens to be a jQuery core dev) * 1 back-end developer (who does a lot more than sling code) * Me--team lead, interactive director, co-developer, meeting-goer, idea-seller

We maintain and build apps/modules for the company's public sites, which presently are Python/Django-based. We've built a few internal apps--relied upon daily for core business operations--in Ruby. We also have a couple random things written in Haskell & Scala which may or may not stick around. We are not married to any single language or platform.

We need a great developer comfortable and familiar with Python/Django, Ruby, and Objective-C/iOS above all things. We have a number of interesting projects in the works for each of these platforms. If you are into Android development, that could work, too.

We work hard at securing future interesting product work for the team--mobile apps, internal products, MediaRoom application development (for set top boxes), etc.

We're looking for a girl or guy who is interested in learning and building great products on any platform, who cares about delivering a fantastic experience for customers and employees alike. Someone capable of self-management, who has opinions on the right way to do things. We collaborate on everything, and are not afraid to hash something out for two hours until we believe we've got it right. We want you to be that kind of person, too.

We're the company's first and only creative/interactive team, and we enjoy autonomy in deciding our platforms, languages, technology, etc. We have no overlords who tell us how to do our jobs. You'll find yourself asked to be part of our decision-making on new products.

If any of this sounds interesting, we'd love to talk with you (and will probably ask you to meet up for lunch or something).

Official job description (apologies for the over-corporate-y-ness of it): http://www.epb.net/about/careers/jobs/web-and-ios-developer/

Drop me a line and a CV: waycottb@epb.net.
