StumbleUpon, San Francisco, CA.

I have been working in the Applied Research team here @ StumbleUpon for the past 3 weeks and it has been a fun ride so far. They are hiring folks in three different areas (Search and Recommendation, Analytics and Applied Research). We are looking for folks who have been doing a lot of ML( recommendation systems, statistics), search and have experience scaling up (E.g. Hadoop). Refer : http://www.stumbleupon.com/jobs for more descriptive details.

Although we have been here for a while, we have been doing significant changes to our system which will be an exciting opportunity for some one to own and work on large scale machine learning projects. The company is profitable, has the usual goodies (nice salary, 401K match, gym, Uber/Commute reimbursement etc). Anyways, if any of this sounds interesting to you, email me @ eshvk@stumbleupon.com and I will answer any of your questions and help get you in touch with the right recruiters ASAP.

New York / London - Bloomberg http://www.openbloomberg.com/jobs http://www.bloomberg.com/ux There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We do a huge variety of things and we like to run our teams with a startup results-driven feel. We are primary consumers of billions of incoming piece…

Bloomberg is a big company; you should know that this gig at BB is the real deal. Andrew and his team get absurdly fun projects working with data at a volume and of an importance very few startups ever get to touch. They're like the Google of money. Also, I worked with Andrew at a startup we did in '00 and would easily put him on my top 5 people I'd want to work with again.

If you're debating reaching out about this role: DO IT.

Everyme (YC S11) - Full Time - Menlo Park, CA

Ruby on Rails Engineer

We are looking for people who can work up and down the web stack and who can pick up new languages quickly. If you are a super smart generalist who can work on the servers one day and optimize complex algorithms the next, we want to hear from you. You will be our first non-founder web engineer and will work directly with the founders.

Ability to work from our Backbone.js front-end to our Ruby on Rails back-end is a must. Experience with server management and databases is a plus. Some days you will help keep the servers up and others you will be adjusting algorithms and designs that affect 100s of thousands of people.

We're currently a tiny team of 5, and have an open and friendly culture, where ideas are encouraged to be shared by everyone. Did I mention that we have a ping-pong table?

We're building something incredibly meaningful. Everyme is bringing together families, couples and best friends who otherwise wouldn't communicate. This isn't just another social network, but a significant mission to change how people share. Candidates will hopefully understand and have a passion for privacy, not to mention have an appetite for going up against Goliath.

We are well funded by top-tier VCs and angels, including Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock, CrunchFund, SV Angel and more. Come and join our small team of 5, which includes ex-Facebookers, ex-MySpacers, and successful iPhone and Android app developers. We offer market salary, generous equity and awesome perks!

To apply, please get in touch with me or email jobs@everyme.com! More roles open at http://everyme.com/jobs

San Francisco, CA. Full time.

Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research.

It's widely held that science is too closed, and too slow. We are trying to change that. We believe that faster sharing of research will lead to an acceleration in research innovation: faster innovation in medicine, biology, engineering, economics, and other fields. Faster sharing in biology and medicine, for example, could lead to cancer being solved 12 months before it otherwise would have been, which would lead to millions of lives being saved.

Academia.edu has over 1.3 million registered users, and over 3.7 million monthly unique visitors. Both of these metrics tripled in 2011. Over 4,500 papers are added to the platform each day, and over 3,000 academics join each day.

We need talented engineers to come and help us accelerate the world's research. We believe that there is a chance to make a big impact.

We just raised $4.5 million from Spark Capital and True Ventures http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3297812. Some of our angel investors include Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu) and Rupert Pennant-Rea (Chairman of The Economist).

We have a strong engineering culture. We're a 10 person team based in downtown San Francisco. The site is Rails, and other technologies we use include PostgreSQL, Redis, Varnish, Solr, Memcached, Mongodb, Beanstalkd.

Familiarity with our technologies is a plus, but it's not essential. It's far more important that you are a quick learner who can pick up new technologies quickly. There is more information about the company on our hiring page, at http://academia.edu/hiring.

The kinds of things you would be working on include:

★ building new features (a conference feature, a discussion feature for papers)

★ enhancing existing features (News Feed, Profile page, paper upload tools)

★ building back-end infrastructure to scale the site

What we're looking for are:

☀ 2+ years of web development experience

☀ Experience with the full engineering stack

☀ Passion for engineering

All the strategic decisions in the startup are made collaboratively, whether they are about hiring, new feature development, user growth, user retention, funding, or revenue. You can participate in those general startup decisions as much or as little as you want. We have found that our decisions are much better as a result of everyone contributing to them. If you like having an impact, you will enjoy the Academia.edu culture. There is more information here http://academia.edu/hiring.

H1B candidates are very welcome. We will take care of the visa process.

If you are interested to learn more, please email Ryan Jordan at ryanj [at] academia.edu

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It would be better if, instead of 5 threads, you made a single one and listed the different positions.

Good idea.. sorry about that.

Which you could do by deleting your other posts and editing your top-ranked one.
