Rumble - SF Bay Area (Redwood Shores, CA) -- https://www.rumblegames.com

We're a new, well-funded startup making and publishing AAA games for browser and mobile. We're making real games for a large audience. Not ultra casual, not too niche-y.

Our first title is a cooperative multiplayer 3D action-RPG. Think Diablo on Facebook. But free-to-play, and no big download. No obscure plugins, either -- we use Flash, but you wouldn't believe it. Adobe says they've never seen anything higher quality in Flash.

Seriously, check out our trailer: https://www.rumblegames.com/kingsroad (and that was 7 months ago)

We're in closed beta. Let me know if you want to give it a test drive.

Rumble is backed by Google Ventures and Khosla Ventures ($15mm series A). We have one of the strongest founding teams the gaming industry has ever seen. (No, really: https://www.rumblegames.com/about/our-team)

We're both a developer and publisher of games, and we need help on both sides. If you want to develop the next generation of top-quality games, or you want to build and scale infrastructure to 1mm+ concurrent players, this is for you.

* Platform -- Java/Groovy/Grails/AWS (esp. Senior and Architect/Lead/VP)

Tesla Motors | Stationary Storage group | Full time | Palo Alto, CA The Stationary Storage team at Tesla Motors is growing and we’re looking for smart and versatile developers to add to the team. Our current team is very small and we’re looking for a hand-on, generalist who will get things done. You will work on a variety of subsystems, some are existing codebases (with other users and developers) that need modificat…

Oh God... I always said that the only companies I'd give up my startup ambitions for was SpaceX and Tesla. I just returned to Toronto from San Jose and I saw your plant from the 880. Absolutely amazing looking.

Can you tell us more about what the stationary storage team works on? From the name, it sounds to be the systems that the user uses when they store the vehicle at the end of their trip?

osmeta

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Mountain View)

Positions:

* Full-Time Software Engineering

* Full-Time Design (UX and UI)

Come work with a remarkable team of programmers who have been the key people in the creation of numerous well known products: Android, Chrome for Android, Chrome OS, the heart of Google's crawling infrastructure, AdWords, ZooKeeper, and many, many more. http://osmeta.com/about/ tells you a few things about the kind of people involved. It's not time yet for us to publicize details of our technology, but do look carefully at what our team members have done in the past.

For the software engineering positions, we aren't looking for any specific domain expertise because what we're doing involves significant depth and breadth of computer science. The ability to context switch between a diverse range of things is the primary thing we care about. It's highly likely that a great programmer with experience on any platform and in any compiled programming language will find our work interesting, challenging, and rewarding. Examples of "any" would be one or more of C, C++, and Objective-C on one or more of Android, iOS, Linux, OS X, and Windows.
