Famo.us - SF Fulltime (http://www.famo.us)

We make 3D interfaces and cross-platform apps on top of WebKit browsers. We're a big javascript house, and don't use any 3rd party libraries for our main platform, though experience with MVC libraries, three.js, D3.js, Node are all pluses.

If you want to replace jQuery, send me an email: david@famo.us

San Francisco - Software Engineer

Thumbtack is a new way to hire local services. We connect over 250,000 small businesses -- from DJs to French tutors to wedding photographers and general contractors -- with new customers every day. Our vision is to be Amazon for the service industry. We want to make it as easy to hire a service online as it is to order a book.

We work out of a beautiful loft office in SOMA. Our in-house chef and food culture were featured in Inc. magazine. We also brew beer and play ping pong, but mostly we work really hard to make a difference in the lives of our customers.

I'm chris at thumbtack if you're interested in learning more.

SwiftStack (http://swiftstack.com/jobs/) is hiring software developers at all levels of experience.

Why Join SwiftStack?

You’ll work on a product that touches millions of people’s lives even if they don’t know it. The number of businesses using OpenStack in general and Swift in particular grows and grows, and it includes big names that make products that are used by both your little brother and your grandmother. You’ll work on a product that makes core OpenStack technology accessible to businesses of all kinds.

You’ll get open-source experience in a big way. At SwiftStack, we’re committed to strong participation in the OpenStack ecosystem in general and to contribution to Swift in particular. You’ll be a contributor to one of the most important Open Source projects currently active.

You’ll confront interesting problems every day. Writing a system like Swift and building a software ecosystem to surround it is the road less traveled. We aren’t writing yet another glorified CMS or social app or phone game. Whether it’s figuring out better algorithms for data placement, confronting a firehose of monitoring data, or determining how to integrate most flexibly with customers’ systems, there are always new and unusual problems to solve.

Interested? Send us an email at jobs@swiftstack.com. Send us your github profile, your LinkedIn account, a link to your website – whatever will best display the work that you’ve done. Tell us in a few lines of text why you’re interested in SwiftStack, and why we’ll be interested in you. We’ll be back in touch shortly to get the conversation started.

Full-time, Allahabad(India), Khitchdee

Khitchdee is designing a custom PC from scratch. We're designing an FPGA based circuit that runs the things we value most from our PC. We call this PC the Switch and it's going to replace the Wintel PC and MacBook Air we currently use as our primary PC. We produce music, design gadgets and also like to teach gadget design.

We don't like to Google our way out of our information needs. Instead, we like to practice origional engineering where we derive our own answers from first principles. In this sense we are old-fashioned. We are also stubborn in sticking to our long term goals for years on end. We're looking for a self-starter who can meaningfully contribute to our project over the long run. Send us an email at rohit@khitchdee.com.
