Halifax, Canada. Canadian needed. REMOTE possible. Twisted Oak Studios is looking for a strong developer interested in project management for our 4 year old worker-owned consulting company.

Our company's focus is high-tech interactive projects. Over the past year, our work has included game development (particularly in Unity 3D), graphics/shader programming, and language and audio processing. We’re mostly platform agnostic (mobile, desktop, embedded, custom hardware). We don’t do much web tech.

We're interested in working with people who care about their craft. Ideally this includes thinking at both the design level:

- data driven work estimation

- keeping long term technical requirements in mind

- thinking about how a piece of work contributes to product/project end-value

And the implementation level:

- code standards

- readability

- maintainability

- exploring new effective development paradigms & techniques.

For this position we’d like to hear a little bit about you, see something that you’ve worked on that you’re proud of, and hear about how you approach large-ish projects with a team.

We offer strong compensation, prioritize developer quality of life (limiting work-weeks, flexible hours), and do varied interesting work. Lots of opportunities and support for professional development and side-projects.

Lastly, if the relationship is great after 6-12 months, we’ll want to transition away from wages in to shared-ownership.

Hit me up at jobs@twistedoakstudios.com. I’m committed to responding to every serious note I receive.

Anywhere USA

Haven't posted a formal listing yet (will edit later) since this just opened up today.

We're for a strong back-end web engineer to join our small, distributed tech team building two large (combined audience > 15 million uniques/month) consumer-facing web sites. Ideally:

* strong ruby experience

* interest in image processing and/or "community" tech (comments, forums, contests, etc)

Nice-to-haves:

* strong front-end skills (e.g., with a framework like Backbone; w/ responsive design techniques)

* experience w/ search tech (e.g., elasticsearch)

* a design sense (not a designer role but good to have an instinct for what is good/bad visually and in UI)

Full-time, work from anywhere. Must be a strong communicator via email/chat; team-oriented. Strict "no assholes" hiring filter.

email scott@apartmenttherapy.com for more info.

New York, NY. Full time. We're looking for jr & sr python engineers and jr & sr frontend (js/backbone) engineers.

Percolate is a very quickly growing SAAS company in NYC. We are building a tool that helps brands create content across social. What makes us unique is that we're the only platform that doesn't already assume a brand knows what to say. To help them figure that out we pull data from across the web and make recommendations on interesting content (whether their own or third-party) that might be interesting at any moment.

We're looking for backend (all levels) and frontend engineers (we run backbone.js alongside our RESTful API) to join the team (the company is 50, product team is currently at ~20). On the backend, we're especially interested in folks with good experience working with lots of data and excited to build real-time systems.

Here's thirteen reasons why you should come work here: (1) Your chance to work with big data (2) You come in early: We're only a year-and-a-half old (3) As we get bigger, you will be able to focus on what you are good at (4) We are all different and we love it (5) GPL compliant company (6) You choose your workstation (7) You choose your tools (8) No worries, free your mind: NY salary + medical + dental (9) No vacation policy (we don't count the # of days you take in a year) (10) Company invests in you: Fly to PyCon and other conferences (11) We prefer quality over quantity: Focus on clean code and test coverage (12) Your voice will be heard (13) Every employee gets salary + equity

Lots more info about us at our new about pages: http://percolate.com/about

If you're interested email us at jobs@percolate.com or apply at http://percolate.com/about/jobs/

If you have any questions you can email me (I'm co-founder and CEO) directly at noah@percolate.com. Thanks.
