The Ladders - New York City

Looking for full time on-site developers.

We hire passion, not skills. If you'd describe yourself as a polyglot, prize code quality and clarity, please do get in touch.

Some tech we use across our company: Java, Scala, Backbone.js, Storm, RabbitMQ, Puppet, Sass, Responsive Design, Objective-C and on and on. Ideal candidates probably have at least 5-7 years experience

Here's the "job description", if you are interested, you can email me directly: jconnolly@theladders.com

--

We’re looking for a few good programmers to join our team and help us achieve our mission of “the right person for the right job.”

Instead of giving you a list of buzzwords to describe the role, we’ll tell you about a project we started recently: A few months back, a small team of engineers and designers at The Ladders got together to design a new product. We started off by interviewing some of our customers to learn about their needs. Using that information, we held design studios and brainstorming sessions to flesh out what the actual features and user experience would be like.

On the front-end, we decided to build a new Javascript-powered rich UI using responsive design techniques. Many people are working on responsive design for content-based sites, but few are doing it for browser-based applications. On the back-end, we designed an Event Driven Architecture that makes use of Event Sourcing. Instead of updating a relational database in-place when things change, we store a series of discrete application events. We can then replay those events to create the state of the world at any point in the past, right up to the present. (Yes, we’ve built a time machine!)

Does this sound like the sort of thing you’d like to do? If it is, we’d like to hear from you.

In return for your passion and commitment to code quality, you’ll enjoy an awesome work environment with perks like: Unlimited vacation days! Yes, unlimited! Quarterly hackathons A game room and a well-stocked kitchen Exciting events including holiday parties, picnics, talent shows, pumpkin carving and more Company sponsored athletic teams Competitive salary, bonus and stock options Health/Dental/Vision Insurance, 401K

Radius Intelligence, San Francisco, CA.

Full-time -- on-site only. INTERN and H1B welcome. Principals only please.

Radius Intelligence provides data and tools to help companies reach over 20 million small businesses. Consider that many companies you read about here on HackerNews need to effectively reach these companies to sell to them. Payments companies, deals companies... you get the idea.

The reason I joined Radius is two-fold: I want to work on products that can benefit small businesses and I like the fact that our product directly benefits from our work with data. We're selling the data we have with a cool web application, not using data science to get a 1% lift of clicks on the blue button.

So we're looking for solid software engineers to work on all sorts of problems. We have a sophisticated web application implemented in Python and Javascript and we have our back-end data processing tech which is implemented in Java with Hadoop, Hive and HBase. We have paying customers, but we're on the ground floor with both -- now is the time to join us and make a huge impact. We also need an engineer who is interested in test and performance.

Drop a line: jobs@radiusintel.com . Thanks.

TMP Worldwide - New York, NY

We are looking for a senior developer to join the architecture team. We get to do some pretty awesome things on this team like prototype new applications, research new technologies and develop frameworks and back-end systems used by all new TMP applications.

We are a .Net shop at heart, so we definitely want someone who knows C# well and has an understanding of how the CLR/.Net runtime really works. We also use tools and frameworks like MVC4, NServiceBus, Entity FW, Backbone.js, Solr, MongoDB, SQL Server 2008/2012.

I'm not a recruiter or HR person, just a developer on this team trying to help find the right person to work with. It's a great environment with a lot of really challenging fun work in the world of recruitment software.

If you are interested shoot me an email: Daniel.Battaglia@TMP.com

Join the team of happy hackers at PipelineDeals! We’re looking for talented Rails developers in the Seattle or Greater Philadelphia area (remote work ok, for the right type of individual)

Perks:

* Join a progressive, 6 year-old company that is fun to work at, bootstrapped, profitable and proud. The stuff you will work on will be used daily by tens of thousands of users across the globe!

* We encourage and promote learning on the job. We have Video/Prezo Fridays, where we all hang out and watch a presentation from a conference, or present ourselves, about various subjects like TDD, architecture, SOLID principles, Ember.js, etc etc.

* There are quite a few large projects in our future that will be quite interesting to work on.

* Reimbursement for conferences or meetups you would like to attend, books you want to buy, screencasts you want to watch. In addition, you will be invited to attend our yearly Summit meeting, where the entire company gets together in a wild location.

* Great benefits package: 401k, full health coverage, dental, vision.

* Very competitive salary, and lots of room for growth. Our goal is to ensure you are comfortable so you will be productive.

Requirements:

* Must have at 2 years of experience working directly with ruby, either with a company, or via open source. Past contributions to open source projects, or maintaining your own, are looked very highly upon.

* Willingness to learn every day, and present what you learn to the team. We love learning here.

* A good sense of humor is a strict requirement. Company culture is very important to us, and we are absolutely NOT a bunch of straight-laced, profit-driven, cubicle-sitting curmudgeons.

* Remote work OK, but it is highly preferable if you are located around the Philadelphia or Seattle area. You will be expected to be at the office sometimes. We do get lonely.

London, UK. (INTERN ok)

Django Developers at Wildfish, http://wildfish.com

We're an independent London based Django consultancy looking to expand our team. We work on web applications for startups, other clients, and our own hairbrain schemes. We've mostly been working with freelancers, but are now looking to start putting together a permanent team to take things to the next level. We're all developers, so understand the things which are important and which aren't.

Our office is in London Bridge, so you'll need to be within occasional commute distance of there, but a mixture of remote on site work seems to work best for most of us, so that's fine too.

These are some of the technologies we're working with, so please mention any experience, skills or interest in any of them:

- Python - Django - Testing (TDD, nose, django-webtest, factory-boy) - gevent, gevent-socketio - Ubuntu Linux server admin (Linode, AWS, Fabric, Salt, Nginx) - PostgreSQL, Redis - Django CMSs (Django CMS 2, FeinCMS, Mezzanine, others) - HTML/CSS/Bootstrap - Javascript (and any frameworks)

It's more important that someone can demonstrate they know their stuff rather than have lots of commercial experience necessarily, so please include any links which might show that (other projects/Github/HackerNews/SO, etc).

We'd also like someone who's interested in helping us build the profile of the company but contributing back to the community, including paid time contributing to open source projects, writing blog posts, and developing our own internal infrastructure or cool things you or we may dream up.

Please email contact@wildfish.com with your details and salary expectations. Would possibly also consider those interested in part time work.

Thanks!
