  | Voxer |
  +-------+

We launched Voxer in 2011 and have since become one of the fastest growing voice applications in the world. What we've built is already an important part of the daily lives of millions of people. We're making voice communication faster, more efficient, and more social. Our goal is ambitious - we're building the next generation communication service at the intersection between phone calls and SMS.

We're a surprisingly small team doing this. Only about a dozen engineers who previously worked at Danger, Android, Apple & Twitter. We helped build things like redis for node.js and are contributors to the node.js community. Voxer is built using node.js, Riak and Redis.

We try to stay out of the spotlight and focus on building something amazing. The problems we're facing are at a scale only seen at companies like Twitter and Facebook and we're looking for exceptional people who can help us tackle them.

Brooklyn, NY

Etsy, Inc.

Hiring for developers, operations, and lots of other roles (including non-technical), see http://www.etsy.com/careers/

Etsy is the world's marketplace for handmade and vintage goods. To give you an idea of our scale, last year Etsy sellers sold over $500 million worth of goods on Etsy. We have 17 million active members, and do 1.4 billion pageviews per month.

Individual developers at Etsy deploy code to the live site around 30 times per day, so if you want to move fast at scale, this is the place for you. We have an amazing devops culture and an amazing engineering team that makes all this possible. Check out http://codeascraft.etsy.com/ and http://www.slideshare.net/etsy to learn more about how we do what we do.

We have big challenges, from making sense of all of this data to stopping fraud to helping our sellers be more awesome every day.

Again, check out our positions here: http://www.etsy.com/careers/, and feel free to email me directly at dbernal@etsy.com. I am a developer, not a recruiter, FYI, and I promise to answer any questions you have honestly (unless you ask something that's privileged, obviously.)

Neo (www.MyNeoLoan.com) - Palo Alto, CA - Full Time - Ruby on Rails Developer

Neo provides affordable car loans to consumers new to credit, such as youth and recent immigrants, by assessing their credit risk based on real-time financial and social data as these individuals have not yet built up a credit score. (Yes, it is about time somebody tried this, and we have the chops to do so)

We are a team of three, with high profile advisors. Our beta product is ready, and we are executing a pilot loan program. We have seed funding from a top VC (http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-07-26/social-plus-... - see page 2 for Neo)

We are looking for a serious hacker to join our core team and help us execute our pilot loan program. This is an opportunity to get involved in a cutting edge consumer risk analytics project that aims to disrupt the US credit system. Plus, consumers are our customers, so the project also involves working on all the cool tools consumers expect these days (web, mobile, social, etc). As a very early member of our team, you will have direct input into many of the decisions that will affect the future of our company

Drop me a note at navin@MyNeoLoan.com if you are interested.
