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 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 comm…

NYC (Union Square) - Chicago - SFBay (Mountain View) Matasano. Job title: Scary Story Told To Young Software Developers By Their Parents To Get Them To Go To Bed On Time. We break software. To do it, in the past year, we've filled up Riak clusters with raw HTTP requests, built a large-scale source code cross referencer for 30 languages, wrote and rewrote a debugger core in Ruby, wrote another in Go, built software fu…

Thomas, it's really hard to believe that it's not easy for you to find developers considering what you have to offer. I wish I had an interest in breaking things (I would rather build great software), I would have definitely applied.

London: Python and Erlang Engineers

Smarkets (https://smarkets.com)

Smarkets is a real-time online trading platform with an Erlang backend and Python frontend. Smarkets is disrupting the global betting industry by offering a modern betting exchange product with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We have traded over £150 million of bets since launching in February 2010.

The part of our stack which runs behind the website is one of the few that uses Erlang as a primary language, and is supported by other well-known Erlang projects such as RabbitMQ and CouchDB. 

The non-Erlang pieces of our stack are mostly written in Python, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques and REST. We use the following technologies: VirtualBox, Vagrant, Flask, gunicorn, PostgreSQL, Ganglia, Icinga, Graphite, Cacti, Jenkins, Trac, Git and many other open source packages.

We are well-funded and growing quickly so are looking for Python and Erlang engineers to join our team.

If you are looking for a flexible, agile team to work with; want to work somewhere free of big corporate politics; would like a cool project to work on; we’d love to hear from you!

More details about the role and what we're looking for can be found on our blog:  http://blog.smarkets.com/2012/07/31/smarkets-seeking-python-...

Guildford, UK

MyDrive Solutions

Who are we?

MyDrive provides data analysis services for insurance telematics. We collect GPS data from black boxes installed in cars, and from smartphone apps, and we analyse it to work out how well you are driving, so insurers can provide a fair price for insurance. This means that good drivers can get cheaper car insurance. We work with RoSPA in the UK for driver behavioural research into what constitutes good driving. We have customers and commercial pilots across Europe and South Africa with a range of global insurance companies, brokers and aggregators.

Our processing engine is predominantly Ruby 1.9, with a Rails (3.2, rspec, cucumber etc) API frontend backed by Postgres. Redis and Resque power the processing queue, and we occasionally drop down to C++ for some number crunching (normally libs wrapped up in FFI Ruby bindings). We've got Cassandra for large scale querying and storage, and we manage all of this on AWS using Chef. We use Github, Campfire, Hubot, and Janky for code, collaboration and CI.

Who are we looking for?

We've potentially got a few vacancies over the next few months as more customers launch, but right now we're looking for a systems lead who can help keep our infrastructure running 24/7 as we grow, and also help our customers integrate with us. Ideally someone with experience of running large web services on AWS using Chef.

If you'd like to know more, email me: gavin dot heavyside at mydrivesolutions dot com
