EasyESI (http://easyesi.com) - Berkeley, CA (SFBA) - full-time, US residents only

EasyESI is 7-person, tech-led startup that helps lawyers sift through mountains of evidence in a case to find the smoking gun. This is a good business to be in: the amount of data is only increasing, lawyers are willing to pay for better solutions, and we're good at applying cutting-edge CS to traditionally hard problems. As a result, we're cash-flow positive less than two years after our founding, and growing rapidly.

We have many challenging problems, including machine learning, visualization, search, and nifty user interfaces. We're looking for generalists; we'll teach you (or you'll teach yourself) what you need to know.

We're a fun company, with an awesome location in downtown Berkeley, foosball, game nights, and more. We'll offer you a great salary, equity, health care, retirement with company matching, and a generous vacation schedule.

We are looking to fill 3 positions:

Front-End/UI Engineer - Must have a good attention to detail and be able to use and contribute to a large, modular Javascript codebase (built on dojo). Good understanding of HTML/CSS/Javascript is a must, and a good eye for design is a nice bonus. We support only modern browsers (no IE6 headaches), so we have a very rich HTML/Javascript interface that relies on AJAX queries to pull down data and perform much of the work.

Software Engineer - We all wear many hats, contributing to a backend Java codebase that uses minimal XML. We use a lot of modern open source technologies: Lucene, Cassandra, AWS, etc. We have a separate Python codebase for performing offline work. We strive to write all of our code in a modular, reusable style that maximizes code-sharing and minimizes repetition. We schedule weekly time for refactoring so that we avoid the accumulation of technical debt. If you're sharp and you're interested in learning how to write performant code that uses modern academic research and operates on the latest infrastructure, you'll like this role.

Systems Engineer - We deal with many terabytes of data. We have our own 48-drive-bay fileserver to handle our expanding storage needs over the next couple years. We need someone with Unix experience who is comfortable in Python to help us work more efficiently. You'll manage our AWS installations, manage our internal systems, and help make our entire setup more robust. We're happy to hire someone with solid fundamentals who wants to learn on the job.

We consider all applicants; please apply for the position(s) you're interested in at http://easyesi.com/jobs.shtml.

SFBA, NYC, Chicago Matasano is always hiring application security people, and I'm always happy to talk to systems developers who'd like to do more appsec and software security. We're like the antistartup job: instead of sinking 1-2 years of your time into building a single product built on a single stack, you work with hundreds of firms unbuilding systems running on practically every stack. http://www.matasano.com/ca…

no remote? :(

I'd probably move to work at Matasano if they thought I had something to offer. Getting my wife to move is another story!

Voxer has multiple job opportunities for Engineers who are looking for an exciting new career. If you have skills in iOS app development, Hadoop, HBase, Node.js, Web Design or QA Automation, we'd love to talk to you. We're also looking for a Visual Designer, if that's your passion.

http://voxer.theresumator.com/

Some information about Voxer, and what we're up to!

Voxer is more than just a walkie-talkie app, it is one of the most used Push-to-Talk and messaging applications in the world. Voxer iOS and Android apps allow tens of millions of users across the world to communicate instantly. We're making voice and multimedia communication faster, more efficient, and more social. Our goal is ambitious - we're building the next generation communication voice service at the intersection between PTT, phone calls, SMS, conference calls, and multimedia messaging.

It's no small feat to achieve, to keep one of the world's fastest growing voice applications humming along and growing at a phenomenal pace. But we are 50 dedicated individuals who are putting some of the most exciting technology in the world to work right now - we are the world's largest Node.js site, and we also run one of the largest Riak clusters in the world.

We are dedicated and solely focused on building the next generation of communication. The problems we're facing are at a scale only seen at companies like Twitter and Facebook and we're looking for exceptional people who can help us tackle them.

We closed our first outside round of funding last spring, and our brand new offices are right off Market Street in San Francisco. There's tons of restaurants and shopping nearby at Westfield and Union Square to spend your hard earned cash on, and if you're a musician there's a few outside on the street that we wouldn't mind you teaching a few new songs to. There are plenty of MUNI lines right outside, BART is a block away, plus the Ferry to Oakland and Marin is a pleasant fifteen minute stroll or five minute bus ride away.

We look forward to hearing from you!

SFBA

Pivotal Labs is dying for a decent junior support engineer / helpdesk person here in San Francisco. Someone to keep things running smoothly, from troubleshooting OS X to just keeping the cables in the conference rooms connected up right. If you have to stop yourself from fixing computers when you're wandering around in public you're our kind of person. If you enjoy people too and love making tech work for humans, I want to talk to you.

This was originally my job. I hired someone to take over for me and got promoted. That guy just got promoted. Now we need someone new. This is the kind of place where you pick a thing and become the dude for that. We're growing about 40% per year, lotsa room to move around.

Just out of college? Dropped out of college? That's cool. If you can make computers work for people, that's what counts.

Contact me if you wanna know more: reedhn@pivotallabs.com

Full (kinda dull) job listing here: http://pivotallabs.com/pl_job/it-support-engineer/

And of course, we're always hiring ruby and moblie devs: http://pivotallabs.com/pl_job/software-engineer/

I give you California goernment jobs in Web 3.0 (tm):

spb_vacancy_list.ttl.xz (http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~bransone/opengovernment/spb_vacanc...)

spb_vacancy_details.ttl.xz (http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~bransone/opengovernment/spb_vacanc...)

scrape-spb.py (http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/~bransone/opengovernment/scrape-spb...)

The California State Personnel Board (the civil service of California) vacancy listings as linked data in Turtle (N3) RDF. A weekend hack from years ago given new meaning by the recent death of Aaron Swartz.

I hope to use the UK Civil Service ontology when I get a handle on the data. Publishing job vacancies as RDF is a breakthrough. I hope our own government officials notice this and follow suit.

This is only the beginning. Help me. Help us.
