Mountain View at Google

My team is hiring a Python/JavaScript developer to work on internal developer tools on a small tools and infrastructure team at our HQ in Mountain View. Specifically, we are building tools responsible for the production and maintenance of thousands of Google's websites.

Apply via the following application (the role in the JD isn't exactly the one I described, so please mention you saw this post on news.ycombinator.com to get your application routed to the right place!): http://www.google.com/about/jobs/locations/mountain-view/eng...

---

Requirements:

* Strong Python knowledge.

* Experience building web applications and web services (RESTful).

* Experience with NoSQL databases.

* Experience with HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

* Excellent attention to detail and knowledge of web application design best practices.

* Excellent leadership and organizational skills.

* Excellent ability to communicate with diverse groups of users and developers.

Preferred:

* Experience with App Engine (and Django).

* Familiarity with content management systems and/or web site production tools and related processes.

---

As a member of our tools team, you will work on a small team of web developers and collaborate with marketing and engineering to develop the web applications and systems that create, manage, and serve Google's web sites.

You will be working on all aspects of our internal site development tools: developing systems and services that support the main application, working with developers to spec out and design new features, and ensuring that our systems are stable and fast. You will communicate with our users (webmasters, web developers, designers, localization, marketing, product management, etc.) to come up with creative ways to enable them to build and manage thousands of high-quality web pages.

You will work independently but also take direction and participate in a close-knit team-based environment. We regularly write and review design docs for major and minor features and have open discussions about application design. We release our primary application daily and have high test coverage and code health.

You must be passionate about the web and be excited about enabling Google to build and create the absolute best web sites possible!

AppHero, Toronto:

We're looking for an iOS Developer and a Machine Learning Engineer to join our team at AppHero.

AppHero helps consumers discover the most relevant and engaging apps based on personalized recommendations. We learn about users' interests and preferences from Facebook and by detecting the apps installed on their device, then recommend apps they'll love.

We've raised capital from some of the top investors here in Toronto, but are still a small team (4) and can offer generous equity (along with competitive salary).

We're looking for an iOS developer excited about building native apps on iOS using Objective-C and the iPhone SDK.

We're looking for an engineer with experience with natural language processing to join our team and help enhance our recommendations.

Please reach out to me directly if you're interesting in learning more about AppHero! jordan {at} apphero {dot} com

Agile Software Developers in Cologne, Germany. Although we have been bought we still feel and work like a startup. We are looking for great developers with a web background. We believe in modern engineering practices, agile environment, the right tools for the right job and fun at work. If you want to work with lots of data in a self organizing way give me a call. More information at http://adkla.us

I see most offers are in German, is that a requirement?

We are a European company with (sales) offices in Madrid and France. And we have Dev colleagues from Australia and the US.

That said all Dev colleagues at least understand German. So currently you would need to learn German. But that might change.

Birchbox is growing by leaps and bounds. We're hiring software engineers at all levels. Birchbox gives engineers freedom to innovate as we make awesome product discovery services for our customers.

The tech team at Birchbox is responsible for maintaining and improving the company's customer-facing site (http://birchbox.com), managing hosted and cloud infrastructure, and closely supporting other teams (logistics, marketing, et al.) in our 60+-person company. We work with a wide variety of open-source technologies: Debian-based servers; Chef deployments; Ruby on Rails and Java services; Python scripts; and PHP and Perl too. The size of our team and the breadth of its responsibilities means we rely on our engineers to be self-motivated and quickly follow through on tasks without requiring close supervision. In return our engineers are given leeway to use their own initiative.

San Francisco, full time

Soldsie - Full stack rails engineer

We have a small team working on a new form of social commerce that actually works for our customers. We're growing fast, and looking for someone to take over the tech lead position. We have three engineers including me (co-founder) and work in a great space out of the mission.

Our app runs on rails on heroku with Postgres and Redis, and we are looking to do some interesting machine learning. The front end is a multi-page app with jquery and backbone.

You will be making technical platform decisions, leading the engineering team, and working with me on product decisions, including talking directly to customers and working with the sales and marketing people on what we think is possible. We move pretty fast, and try to make decisions that will be good in the long term. Plus, it's a pretty fun group of people.

If you're interested, just email me personally at arrel at soldsie.com.

We're a non-profit whose mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly.

We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience as well as building brand-new tools like our new programming environment (http://ejohn.org/blog/introducing-khan-cs/). We could use your help.

Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine, and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078.
