Help MarkITx[1] build the software systems that will track, value and trade the world’s IT infrastructure. Working side-by-side with our CTO Ben Blair (that's me) and our head of product Shawn Kelly, you’ll design and build a web of distributed systems sitting atop our AWS infrastructure. You'll have full ownership of your projects and the systems you work on. You'll never be micromanaged.

We're looking for engineers who have built, deployed and managed large distributed systems. We're pragmatists, not purists. We try to use the right technology for the job, with familiarity being a tie breaker. Some things we use today: Node.js, ElasticSearch, Redis and CouchDB and a slew of AWS services.

The types of project you might work on:

- An automated market making system for wholesalers

- An inventory import that can identify products in anything from poorly formatted spreadsheets to scanned invoice PDFs to photos of asset tags

- A public-facing API for asset valuation and trading

We Offer:

- Great work environment + generous equipment budget

- Base salary in the $110 - $130k range + significant equity

- Raise to $160 - $180k when we close our Series A

- Benefits including health, dental

About MarkITx

MarkITx is a B2B exchange for buying and selling IT hardware (anything that goes into a datacenter). We are disrupting the $350B secondary IT market by bringing simplicity and transparency to a process that is currently painful, ugly and untrustworthy. We are a well funded startup, working out of 1871. We are a very talented, deeply experienced and tight-knit team. We have some of the best backers and advisors in Chicago. We’ve proven the model, with over $60MM in orders and over $150k per month in transactions. We’re just getting started, and we need your help to scale.

Our culture is driven by a simple constraint: every colleague we add should make the rest of the team happier and better at their own jobs. That means talent density grows as we grow. It means we have zero tolerance for ego-driven BS. It means we’re in awe of what our colleagues are capable of. It means we have complete autonomy to identify and solve the problems in our domain. It means we care more about the win than we do about who did what to get us there.

Email me at ben@markitx.com if you're interested and tell me about what you've built.

NeoSmart Technologies (http://neosmart.net and http://systemdiscs.com/) looking to hire a business developer. REMOTE (but from US/Canada).

Job will basically include reaching out to blogs to create affiliates for our system recovery products (Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows [0] [1], primarily); plus contacting commercial establishments such as computer repair stores/chains, universities, in-house IT departments, etc. to license our technology.

Salary + commission, rates negotiable depending on previous experience/background. Shoot me an email personally at mqudsi@neosmart.net or to neosmart@neosmart.net

Also open to anyone with expertise in the fields of PR, marketing, business development, etc. for other opportunities. If you know we need you, even if we don't know it, drop us a line!

I'm a RoR developer working at a company in the Bay Area called Coupa Software. We're a provider of e-procurement software, which is enterprisey stuff that helps large companies manage their internal spending. Tech reporters often describe us as "Mint.com for businesses" but that's only a small part of what we do.

We generally target lots of very enterprisey customers, but we're still pretty small and not-corporate. At the moment the dev team (including PMs, UX, etc) is about 20 people. I like to think we're at a pretty good balance between startup and big company.

We're currently hiring "Ruby on Rails Developer, Integrations Engineer, Front End Developer, UX Designer, Visual Designer", but imho we're mostly in need of full stack devs. This company is growing very very very quickly, and flexible developers who can wear many hats are the best for that

We're in downtown San Mateo, 1 block from Caltrain. REMOTES, H1Bs, TNs (I am one! from Canada eh?) are all ok. Competitive pay, 401k, health insurance. WFH privileges, flex time, all that good stuff. An unlimited PTO system. And as a personal anecdote: I've experienced almost no overtime here, and virtually no pressure to overwork myself. Coupa respects a healthy work-life balance. There's a lot of room for self-management here; work the way you work best, show results, and you'll be given the freedom to do it however you like.

If anyone is interested, mail me at tim.herd @ coupa.com, paste your resume, github link, maybe a cover letter if you're feeling generous :D. If you're experienced with Rails (or someone who can get up to speed with minimal training), we'd love to have you.

Super stealth mode :)
