Afar Media | Full Time | San Francisco

Afar Media is a collaborative travel guide as well as a printed travel magazine. I'm the lead engineer for a three-person team, and we're looking to add a front-end developer. We use Rails 3, Slim and all the attendant technologies (jQuery, CoffeeScript, drinking lots of coffee).

Lately, we've been using Ember.js, which is awesome. I'll paste below our official post, but let me say up front why I think this is a great job. - We work reasonable hours and we're paid well for our time. (No nebulous promises.)

We believe in travel so strongly that we pay you to do it. That is, each employee gets a yearly travel stipend and three weeks vacation to use it. The only caveat is it must be international travel and it must be to a city you've never visited before. (Note: this is an awesome caveat.)

Live somewhere else in the US? Maybe we could work something out about working remotely transition into working in the office. (Maybe. Tell us what's up. I started working remotely from Chicago before moving to SF.)

--- Begin Official Description ----

AFAR Media is a well-funded travel media start-up spanning print and web. We have big monitors, stand-up desks, and fancy new laptops. Your coworkers will be be developers, designers, project mangers, and (this is the cool part) magazine editors, meaning you'll work with a wider ranger of personalities than the standard developer scrum. This job is ideal for someone who loves to travel for fun (the position does not require travel, but a fulfilling life does, and one of our great perks is a yearly travel stipend). No arbitrary requirements here, if you are an expert or a least have a hacking willingness to learn and have a good attitude, we want you. Our team is small, and all opinions are considered (and frankly, needed) from product design through delivery.

If you are interested, please send an email to jobs@afar.com, including relevant experience and work.

Kloudless (https://kloudless.com) - SF Bay Area (Berkeley)

Front-End Developer - Full Time

TO APPLY: email work@kloudless.com

Kloudless is hiring! We are a well-funded ($1M+) startup located in Berkeley, helping people work across cloud services easier. We launched earlier in May on the stage of TC Disrupt NYC and have ramped up with 20% growth month-over-month. We're backed by leading Silicon Valley angel investors such as David Sacks of Yammer and Tim Draper from DFJ.

With our latest round of funding, we are looking for a passionate and experienced Front-End Developer to lead our client-facing application development.

YOU

- A solid foundation in software development, with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms and software design patterns.

- Passionate about elegant solutions. Non-DRY, spaghetti code and the like should trigger panic attacks.

- Excellent JavaScript knowledge and experience with client side MVC frameworks such as Backbone.js, Underscore.js, Ember, Knockout or Angular

- Excellent knowledge of current web standards: HTML5, CSS3, and responsive design.

- Experience working with preprocessors (CoffeeScript, Sass, Less or Compass).

- Experience with a dynamic deployment process (git version control, code reviews, bash scripts).

- Experience building and shipping code to production countless times.

- A good eye for design... no need to be a graphic designer, but need to know what a good UI looks like, and like to create a great user experience. Any design experience is a plus.

Essential: Drive to contribute at every stage in delivering the best software: brainstorming for roadmap, architecture, implementation, testing, shipment and maintenance.

HOW WE WORK

We operate on the mentality of mutual trust for all of our projects. We have a flat team structure, and we expect everyone’s opinions when making decisions or brainstorming. The dev team has strong experience in web application development, distributed computing, machine learning and systems management. We love open source and have contributed to several projects including our own. Our backend technology consists of Django, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Storm, ElasticSearch, nginx, puppet, plenty of Python, a dash of Ruby and some Java and Lua for flavor.

PERKS

- Macbook, external monitor, whiteboard desk and any other equipment you need

- All the food/drink you could stuff your face with.

- Great location: We’re in the heart of Downtown Berkeley, half a block from BART and there’s a great selection of restaurants nearby as well.

- On-the-Kloud team lunches/dinners.

- Team outings

- Subsidized gym membership

- Covered public transportation cost of traveling to office

- Monthly allowance to spend on cool stuff you want in the office

TO APPLY

Shoot us an email at work@kloudless.com with your resume and/or any relevant links (Github, LinkedIn, Dribbble, personal websites, portfolio, etc.). If you can point us to an application you shipped that we could check out, that would be great!

Academia.edu (San Francisco, CA) - Software Engineers, Designers, Data Scientists

At Academia.edu, we're trying to accelerate the scientific process by changing the way scientific research is shared. Right now publication is slow, un-innovative, and expensive - we want it to be fast, innovative, and free. We're a platform where scientists upload and share their research directly, and track metrics on the impact of their work. These metrics help when they apply for jobs and grants.

A leading climate scientist in Germany told us "Academia.edu shows the impact of your work that is not covered by Web of Science and citation indexes of that sort. With Web of Science you only learn how many people have quoted what. But with Academia.edu I can see what is viewed, what is actually read or not. Here I learn something additional, something I would not know otherwise.”

5.1 million academics have signed up to Academia.edu, and around 1 million join every 2 months.

We are a 10 person team based in downtown San Francisco. We just raised $11 million from Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. We are looking for full-stack engineers, designers and data scientists. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, CoffeeScript, Backbone, Postgres, Mongo and Varnish.

Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

There are some core values that define the Academia.edu culture. Since everyone in Academia.edu is involved in running the company, we look for these values in everyone we hire:

* Being a do-er - "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena" - Theodore Roosevelt

* Being driven - "Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it." - Lord Acton

* Having equanimity - "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Gandhi

* Having humility - knowing what you know, what you don't know, and where you just have an instinct

* Being motivated to open up and accelerate science

New York / London - Bloomberg http://jobs.bloomberg.com/ http://www.bloomberg.com/ux There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We have roughly 4,000 R&D employees, so work is very diverse across the company. Teams are roughly 4-8 people at the lowest level and group up into larger or…

I interviewed once at Bloomberg. Kind of rocked the phone interview on algorithms and then on-site everybody was acting like if they hated to be there to deal with me. Plus it was weird as it was a Rails position and I got interviewed by people not in the team I was applying for on college C++ internals stuff. So be careful guys :> The office looks really nice though. And the projects sound pretty sexy.

If you are willing to get in touch privately, I'd like to check up to see what happened w/ your situation.
