Junior Rails Developer at Magoosh - Berkeley, CA - Full-Time (http://magoosh.com/jobs/junior-rails-developer/)

We’re looking for a friendly programmer to join us in bringing affordable and high-quality online test prep to the world. You’ll work to expand and maintain Magoosh’s various applications on the web, Android, and iOS.

Our development philosophy is to ship early and iterate with student feedback. We have fun all the time, and meetings only when absolutely necessary. We’re a small company, so you’ll have plenty of freedom and responsibility. An interest in educational statistics, web applications, and startups will serve you well.

About you: Experience shipping at least one web/mobile application Strong problem-solving skills High attention to detail Software development best practices 1-2 years of experience with Ruby on Rails A generalist programmer (front-end and back-end)

Why work at Magoosh? -- Magoosh prepares students for school. If you’ve ever wanted to teach students you’ve never met to read, to write, and to ‘rithmetic, Magoosh is the place. We’ve helped tens of thousands of students in over 150 countries prepare for colleges, graduate schools, and business schools.

Magoosh has been around for two years and is growing fast. We’ve grown from an idea to a business, from a single table to a small office, and from a handful of beta testers to thousands of customers. We need more excellent people to continue delivering teaching to the world.

Magoosh is a small team in Downtown Berkeley. Located by the UC Berkeley campus, we're a wisecracking bunch who eat out often. Do you like foosball, root beer floats, and word games? Come join us!

Twitch - twitch.tv - San Francisco, CA.

Three years ago there was no "real" way to watch live gaming video online. Now we're the defacto and the likes of xbox and valve are realizing that and working very closely with us. This type of growth needs support!

Devops Engineers - We're scaling at an insane rate! 3mm MAU increase over the last couple of months, up from 2mm MAU a few months ago, which was up from 1mm MAU a few months prior to that! As such nearly every aspect of our stack is being revved, automated and improved. We're looking for people that never do things three times, it is always scripted and solid by then. Come help us build intelligent request routing into our infrastructure, help us get our server build and deploy process down to a work of beauty. Everything is up for grabs here for the right candidates.

Data Architects - Do you dream about large volumes of data? We have it! We're looking for engineers with tried and tested experience of modern storage mechanisms to help us scale out all data related things. Our vision is to have you build the platform for our stats guy (an absolute baller!) to go to town on. We want to build platforms that help us both with real time queries (recommendations for channels / vods, etc, to watch) and longer bulk queries (cohort analysis).

Interested in either? Want to know more? Email me, Mike Ossareh, Director of Engineering: ossareh@twitch.tv

How long is the contract period? :)
