Salt Lake City UT - Black Diamond (blackdiamondequipment.com)

BD is one of the iconic outdoor industry brands - we make equipment for rock and alpine climbing, skiing, and other outdoor sports. We're not in the software industry, but working here is far more fun than I ever had in that industry. BD has a smart, driven software team that is helping the company grow internationally at double-digits every year.

I'm looking for someone with strong SQL and development skills to join my team in a role that's part business analyst and part developer. This is not your typical corporate position - this is an opportunity to play a significant and highly visible role in the company.

You don't need to ski or climb to work here, but it's a plus!

Panjiva (Cambridge, MA: right above the Kendall Ⓣ) - Full time, Intern, H1B

We're small, fast, and profitable. Our mission? Make it easier to do trade across borders. Setting up a production line and looking for a valve supplier that won't flake out on you? Use us to search for suppliers (or buyers) of any goods that go into or out of US ports and see credit reports, corporate responsibility audits, and customs records. Then, use us to reach out to them, communicate, and close the deal.

We're looking for exceptional software designers and engineers who can solve hard problems and design beautiful systems for our users. As a designer, you'll need experience both sketching out concepts and building them. As an engineer, you'll need experience with full-stack web application development, both server-side and client-side: A given day’s checkins may include performance tweaks to our backend data processing pipeline, an updated multivariate landing page test, a parsing expression grammar for a new data source, upgrades to our deployment infrastructure to make better use of our CDN, or new parallelizing queries to make Panjiva search faster. We're growing quickly, so our ideal candidates are ready to grow and learn just as fast in order to take the lead on critical projects.

We work in ruby on rails, but will teach you if you're coming from another platform.

If you're interested, email me at andrew@panjiva with your resume and a link to something cool that you've made.

Los Altos, CA -- Ness (likeness.com) -- Local, H1B

Ness Computing's mission is to make search personal. By combining its understanding of human nature with its expertise in search, recommendations and social networking, Ness delivers experiences that are more deeply personal than ever before.

Ness is looking for an eager, fast-learning iOS developer with a passion for creating software that delights users. We’re looking for someone who wants to help push the platform to its limits, with implementation approaches beyond even Apple’s first-party apps.

You are someone who shares our love of beautifully designed, immersive products. You are detail-oriented, believe the little things matter, and won't consider a task complete until everything is just right. These qualities are more important than experience, but practice implementing user interfaces and iOS applications is a plus. An ideal candidate will know Objective-C and Cocoa Touch well, but is always ready to learn more.

If this sounds like something you'd like to help build, please shoot me an email.
