Seattle, San Francisco, Cupertino (and other places), FULL-TIME, INTERN, H1B

A lot of people think Splunk must be a terrible place to work at because they think it is an "enterprise" company. But the truth is, we have great jobs for a lot of people. Want to work on awesome visualizations for gigabytes and terabytes of data daily? We got it. Want to work on building a development platform for an extremely powerful data analysis tool? We got it. Want to help make the core server that powers our extremely fast indexing and performance better? We got it.

For example, my project for the past couple of months has been to develop our new Node.js/Browser SDK, including pulling some of our propietary UI components and sharing them with the world. We also do a lot of work with customers to best help them use Splunk. One of the projects I was involved in included analyzing social data using Splunk (like Twitter/Foursquare).

Whether it's UI, core systems engineering, dev platform or anything in between, we likely have something for you. I personally work on the development platform in the Seattle office, but I'm happy to answer questions about anything. Feel free to shoot me an email (in my profile), or comment here.

I wanted to highlight a few specific positions we're looking for:

* Dev. Platform Software Engineer: This is the team I work on. We strongly believe that there is a use for Splunk outside of logging, and we're enabling the usage of the technology for dealing with large quantities of data, whether it's for social network analysis, cloud management or anything in between. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=oHkCVfwi

* Frontend engineer: We're trying to present a lot of data (some might even call it big data :) in a human-understandable manner. Help us implement the next wave of visualizations: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=okO3VfwQ

* UI/UX Designer: For many of our customers, they spend a great deal of their day in our web UI, and even more importantly, they spend time there when something is going wrong and they want to find out what. Help us make the UI/UX as easy and intuitive to use as possible: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=okQ4VfwT

* Cloud Software Engineer: we're developing the next stage of our product, which is a hosted version of Splunk in the cloud, with all the benefits you'd expect (like automatic elastic scaling). Come help us make this a reality: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=o4U8VfwL

* Hadoop Software Engineer: Usage of Hadoop is exploding to do batch-oriented processing on massive quantities of data. We think there is a lot of value to be had by combining the power of Splunk and Hadoop, and we're developing solutions to make this possible. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=oqCaWfwS

* Software Engineer in Test: Splunk is a complex machine, deployed in a distributed manner, many times being used for different things. Our testing team is top notch, and helps us deliver quality releases. http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAGK3?jvi=o5ZvVfwe

San Francisco, CA

Pivotal Labs - FULLTIME, INTERN, REMOTE, H1B.

We're one of the best agile development consultancies around. We're looking for sharp, empathetic software developers, mainly working in web (Rails) and mobile (iPhone, Android) projects. Past clients include Groupon, Twitter, Google, Gowalla. We also build Pivotal Tracker, an agile project management tool.

You don't have to be an expert in Rails or the mobile frameworks to get a job here - as long as you are pleasant to work with and willing to learn, that's good enough. Since we pair every day, you'll pick up what you need to know very quickly. After just a month at Pivotal I felt I had improved leaps and bounds as a developer and learnt a tremendous amount about Rails that I didn't know before.

Give me a ping - thomas@pivotallabs.com. Read more about how we work: http://pivotallabs.com/jobs/welcome

San Francisco, FULL-TIME

Want to work in the fast growing enterprise social media space in the heart of the SoMa district in San Francisco? The Socialcast team at VMware is actively looking for iOS, Android, Infrastructure and Release engineers.

We are working on a number of very exciting products and growing at an extremely rapid pace. Check us out at

http://www.socialcast.com

Job listings:

http://bit.ly/w07gmU

please contact the hiring manager directly at rajatg [AT] socialcast.com

Personally I started with the company in the beginning of the year and I love it. I'm surrounded by bright and driven people working on bringing social media to the enterprise. Its got the best of both worlds: a startup environment, but backed by a company that is a leader in the virtualization market.

My favorite perks:

* Great accessible SOMA location

* catered lunches 3 times a week

* VMWare medical benefits are pretty much second to none

* commute benefits are paid for 100%(up to some limit)

* 401K matching at 6%

* Employee Stock Purchase Plan

* Corporate discounts off your mobile bills: around 20% off verizon/att/sprint

* 9 official holidays, 3 floating holidays, 3 weeks vacation time to begin with and 2 weeks sick time

* Best of all: reasonable working hours -- I've been kicked out of the office at around 7pm on numerous occasions

P.S. Here is a link to a blog post of one of our Rails gurus on reducing the runtimes of our test by tenfold:

San Francisco, CA. Remote ok, but you're always welcome in the office. Full time.

Justin.tv has iOS applications with over 15 million downloads, and we're looking for a talented engineer to be the lead developer on these apps. Yes, you can work remotely and on your own schedule. Justin.tv is a fast-moving company with an incredible video technology stack. Part of the challenge in this position will be keeping up with the new features that come out and figuring out how to best format those for the mobile experience.

You will be judged based on the apps you've built and the code you've written, not your job title or education.
