London:

At Mixlr, [http://mixlr.com], we’re currently looking to meet developers.

Mixlr is a platform for broadcasting and listening to live audio. We launched less than a year ago, and have a large and fast-growing user base including some of the world’s top DJs and radio stations.

We also have an interesting and scaleable backend architecture which involves not only Ruby but lashings of Java, C and C++, with heavy usage of Redis and MongoDB.

We practice test-driven development, use Puppet to automate our server configuration and live by the mantra of rapid deployment: join us, and you can expect to see your code being put through its paces by thousands of users - within hours (or quite possibly, minutes).

We would love to meet developers with:

- deep web development knowledge - most likely involving Ruby on Rails.

- a strongly test-driven approach to coding.

- a love for learning new skills and technologies, and the enthusiasm to break out of Ruby and try their hand at unfamiliar languages and frameworks.

- a driving passion not just for coding, but for audio, music and startups as well.

For the right person(s), we are able to offer:

- A competitive, full-time salary - negotiable dependant on experience.

- Meaningful stock options.

- Offices a stone’s throw from Old Street tube.

- The opportunity to take a leading, hands-on role in building an exciting and ambitious music company.

If the above interests you, then we’d love to talk. Contact me: rob mixlr.com.

Sorry, but we're not hiring remotely at this time.

Podium Advertising Ltd. is hiring a web developer in Tel Aviv. We have a leading Google Adwords optimizing technology that we will be releasing to the public in 2012. Our technology enables large online stores to bring their inventory to Google Adwords, automatically updated their ads, create ads dynamically, and then optimize them automatically towards a CPA goal.

For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..

For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..

Except H1B is used as a generic term to indicate willingness to sponsor visa applications, including types other than H1B visas (such a TN1 for Mexican and Canadians), so please, keep including it.

Oh, didn't think about that. Fair play!

Nextpeer - Tel-Aviv:

So weird, I just sent out this email today looking for our very first employee :)

Nextpeer has been growing at an insane rate we're now looking for our first employee. We're looking for startup-minded people, who want to take on an influential role in our company.

A little bit about us - we're changing the way people are playing games on their mobile phones (here's a short article about us http://www.insidemobileapps.com/2011/12/06/nextpeer-multipla...). We're funded with offices in Ramat Hahayal. Being our first employee will be both a privilege and a responsibility.

We're searching for someone smart, creative and independent. Tech skills should include either mobile (iOS) or backend (PHP+DB+Node.js) knowledge. Most importantly though, we're looking for a person who is passionate about gaming.

If you're interested you can contact me directly at daniel nextpeer.com

That and existing H1B transfers from one employer to another are not affected by the cap.
