#172Hi. We're Perfect Audience. We help companies get more sales and customers so they can hire more folks and ship better products. We do this through what's know as ad retargeting and real-time bidding. When people leave your site without coming back to complete a transaction, we bring them back by serving ads to them on Facebook and the web. If you spend $10 with us, we can make you $100. It's pretty amazing.
We have thousands of customers including many companies you know and love. We're generating significant revenue and growing our team swiftly with folks from Google, Stanford, Accenture Tech Labs, and Tubemogul.
We're up against companies 10x our size, and winning regularly because our product is awesome and our customers understand how much we love working on it.
Underneath our simple self-service dashboard is a massive beast of a real-time bidding platform that processes billions and billions of ad requests a day. We're looking for an engineer to tame this beast using common sense and lots and lots of automation. If you like using tools like Scout, Nagios, and Jenkins and want to do something really, really hard, this might be a good fit for you!
We're backed by A-list investors. We have A-list customers. We work out of two gorgeous luxury live-work apartments in SoMa, and an office in the heart of Chicago. We ship code every day and let our team choose the tools they want to use.
If you're interested in helping us tame the beast, we'd love to talk to you. Contact us at jobs@perfectaudience.com

#177Top Hat(https://tophat.com). We build software for The Modern Educator.
Django, JS, RabbitMQ, AWS, Backbone, Real Time, Big Data, EdTech, Dent in the universe kind of stuff.
-----------------------
Looking for a brilliant developer:
Does doin’ your thing in Django take you to your happy place? Does coding in JavaScript feel better than Christmas morning? Does programming in JavaScript bring you more satisfaction than rainbows and puppies combined? Read on, you Maniac Hack. Read on.
If you’ve been to university, you understand the nut Top Hat is trying to crack. Your professor starts to talk, and you really do have every intention of listening. But within about five minutes, your good intentions fly out the window and you begin to surf Facebook, catch some Zz’s, or if you’re feeling really ambitious start working on a problem set for a completely unrelated class. When you join our team, you’ll be working on classroom interaction software and help higher education find its mojo!
Your work will touch hundreds of thousands of paying customers (300,000 and growing every day). Plus, you’ll get to ship code on a weekly basis. We only officially launched a little over two years ago, but we’re already profitable and are growing like crazy! Lucky for you, we’re small but mighty. That means you get to touch everything—front-end, back-end, database code—whatever your little hacker heart desires! And what’s more? Everything you touch will be yours. Well, kind of. We follow the “Facebook approach,” meaning we give developers complete ownership of features.
The Fabulous Life of the Top Hat Developer comes with other sweet perks too. Every fifth week is hack-week, where you and your fellow developers get to spend a week working on pet projects. There’s also lots of free deliciousness. What’s up catered breakfast and unlimited snacks and drinks? Oh, and did we mention StarCraft throw-downs at lunch?
