Kansas City Design/Dev Agency: Server-Side Web Application Developer

We're hunting a good backend developer. We do a lot of PHP/MySQL work, but if you're a good programmer with other server side experience, feel free to contact us. We're small which means freedom, but you'll also have to take out your own trash and it's not really a cog-in-a-machine kind of deal. We're developing a couple products internally, but we're primarily funded by client work, so it takes priority.

We work on dual screen Mac workstations with nice Steelcase chairs. We're closed between Christmas and New Year's. We work hard and wear a lot of hats, but it's a laid back shop.

You can see our CraigsList ad here: https://post.craigslist.org/manage/3516242208

If you're interested, feel free to contact me directly at wade [at] voltagecreative [dot] com. I'm the agency Project Manager and UX Specialist.

Olark - Palo Alto, CA; Ann Arbor, MI; remote ok - Full Time

### Who is Olark?

Simply, we're the people that put live chat on thousands of websites across the Internet.

More than that, we're helping businesses scale their personal touch to the Internet, as the lines between customer discovery, sales, and support blur.

### Who are we looking for? (details on http://www.olark.com/jobs)

- Ruby on Rails Engineer / Architect: you've worked before on an at-scale Rails app and love making it easier for our customers to use our app and make it easier for your fellow developers to contribute improvements.

- Graphic Designer: you'd like to apply your understanding of both functionality and aesthetic to improve our website and chat window.

- Marketing Communications: you'll help us educate the world about how the meaning of customer service is changing

### What's our culture like?

- Our all-hands retreat in August combined team outings (winery tours / biking / canoeing) with talking about the future of interacting with customers and how we were going to change it.

- Engaging with our customers! At conferences, answering e-mailed questions, and (of course) chatting with them on Olark. Interacting with our customers has repeatedly gave us insights that couldn't have come from simply writing code.

- We have project-based teams that shift (roughly) quarterly. We want to give our teams enough time to make sizable changes, but experience has taught us that iterations need an end date so we can collect feedback from real-world usage.

### How to apply

New Relic - Portland OR/Seattle WA/San Francisco CA (http://newrelic.com/jobs)

We make the best application performance monitoring solution, and deliver the first serious SaaS APM. It gives deep visibility in production apps running on Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, and .NET (with more platforms on the way). Making it easy for our users, however, is hard work. Our answer is to hire top notch people and then turn them loose to solve tough problems.

We're looking for a number of technical positions (check out the Jobs page), including engineers with skills in Ruby, Node, Python, C, PHP, .NET (to name a few). H1-Bs welcome.

We also take our company culture seriously -- Best Place to Work and all that, of course. But we also provide an unusual and exciting development environment, one where managers are working to enable developers, not the other way around.

Come take a look. http://newrelic.com/jobs
