Pretio Interactive (Victoria, BC, Canada) (near Seattle, Vancouver)

Front End Web Developer - Full Time

About Us: We think there’s a better way for advertisers to reach consumers than stuffing more ads online. We also think publishers should be rewarding users for being active on their favorite games, apps, and websites. Pretio was started to solve this.

We do two basic things:

1. We run online loyalty programs with real-world rewards that we secure from our advertisers. We then make these loyalty programs available to content publishers so that they can reward their users, free of charge.

2. We offer those rewards to other online loyalty and engagement programs for their customers, too.

About the Job: We’re looking for a talented front-end developer with design chops, who’s comfortable with owning and iterating on the design of our product’s UI. You’ll be primarily responsible for the design and direction of our new user-facing features, with your work being seen by millions of people. We’re nice people, in a growing company, with a highly collaborative environment where your ideas will be heard. Help us build the future of advertising with a product that people will love!

Join us in Victoria, consistently rated one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and best places to live in Canada.

I'm not entirely sure about the "usually", it may or may not be true. But to offer a different view here, I'm from Sweden and cost of living in Sweden is extremely low. If you have an apartment or house outside the capital it costs next to nothing, we have no health insurance costs, no education costs, food is not particularly expensive compared to the rest of the industrialized world and so people usually feel it's OK to offer a lower salary in Sweden on that argument.

Bottle Rocket Apps - Dallas, Texas

I'm not a recruiter. I'm a new iOS developer at Bottle Rocket Apps. I can't say enough good things about this company. We make great products, unlimited vacation, competitive pay, etc.

We are hiring junior and senior level iOS and Android developers. We likely need more senior level developers but I encourage anyone who is interested to apply.

When you apply, mention that you saw the post on Hacker News.
