Flickr.com — San Francisco, CA — Full-time and Contract — http://flickr.jobs/

Turns out people will take you up on it if you offer 1TB free. Want to come help us out with that? Also working on neat things you can do if you have all 20k+ of someone's photos online. Back-end devops, app/API development, Android, iOS.

The only two requirements that are pretty much set in stone are working in San Francisco and you need a CS degree (or something close like EECS, computer engineering, software engineering etc.)

Full-time UK developer, Co-working space/remote.

Riddles, Puzzles, Whiteboard Coding Oh My!

Ready to answer some algorithm questions that your interviewer had to look up the answer to before you arrived? Does years of experience determine who the best engineers are? How about a whiteboarding session with people peppering you with questions - is that how you normally work?

We may only be a simple startup, but we have this crazy idea that your past work, production code and open source contributions are the best indicators of your ability. If these are high quality, let’s talk.

Who we are:

A small group (under 10) that has built two consumer facing products. We’re technology agnostic and believe the best developers can teach themselves what they need to learn. There are no politics, no prima donnas and we just like getting things done.

Edviso is a consultation marketplace for experts to give advice via live video chat. Catincan is a crowdfunding platform for open source projects.

What we need:

Software Engineer that solves problems. You’re someone that figures things out, cares about code quality and understands the choices you make can lead to technical debt. You like learning new languages and have your own method that’s worked for you time and again to get spun up on something quickly. Ideally you’ll know some of these technologies:

Scala, Haskell, Prolog, Lisp, Eiffel, Erlang, Go, Meteor, Coffeescript, Ember.js, AngularJS

We don’t just need another engineer, we need another team member. More info: https://www.catincan.com/ceo-bio

Please send links to your github or other repositories & attach your CV if you have one.

it looks like you're doing something similar to the folks at Ayasdi. Care to elaborate how how your spin on computational topology is similar or different?

Astute observation. I see from your from your profile that you are doing some interesting things with haskell and numerical computing. I'd be very much interested in learning more about what you are doing - what types of problems you're trying to solve, algorithms you are implementing, what sort of customers are using your product.

Our platform differs in a number of ways, although it is still in its embryonic stage. Why don't we discuss more offline, if you are interested? My contact info is in my profile .
