Gametime - gametimesf.com/app - Full-time / SF [LOCAL | RELOCATE OK]

Gametime is growing really really fast in SF and preparing to enter new markets. We’re democratizing access and perfecting the last-minute buying experience (we’re the only place to get mobile-optimized MLB, NBA and NHL tickets today - which is key because mobile will be most of the market in 3 years).

We remember the experiences we share for our lifetimes. We’re trying to give phenomenal shared experiences to everyone - especially people who don’t really participate today - through a beautiful, fast, easy and cost-effective mobile experience.

Here’s our awesome v1.0 - gametimesf.com/app. Before this, we built our first startup - Zappedy - which pioneered local analytics and provided a 4x investor return in 18 months.

We’re looking for people interested in building fast, reliable, and modular commerce systems. (if we were the type of company with formality - we’d probably call this Senior Systems Engineer)

To date we’ve… Impressed thousands of fans with instant mobile tickets. Raised capital (Giants and Warriors owners plus the HotelTonight guys) for 12 months and have a clear path to profitability. Created an optimal working environment based in central SF - you have to see it to believe it. Found like-minded builders - we work alongside founders with billion-dollar IPOs.

We’re looking for full-time, local developers, designers and distributors.

Reach out to us at brad@gametimesf.com

Topic: Ruby on Rails, Objective-C, Java, Machine Learning, Data Analysis

Rentify - London, UK We're on a mission to kill off high street letting agents and all the things they stand for: high fees, tenant rip-offs, and subscale economics. We're backed by world class investors (Balderton Capital) and have a senior leadership team comprised of bright minds from Uber, Eventbrite, NBC/Universal, Apple, and Zopa. This time last year our team was 4 people. Now it's 25. We're aiming to be 50 by…

A word of caution regarding Rentify: I had some email correspondence with their CTO, Buff, last year when they had previously advertised on a "Who is hiring?" thread here, as I was then looking for something new in London. They asked me to complete a coding exercise, which I spent a Saturday afternoon doing ( https://github.com/jasonl/property_search )and submitted it to them, and then I did not hear back - not so mu…

Jason, I'm so sorry for treating you disdainfully. June 22nd, the day you sent over your test, I moved from San Francisco to London full time. I assure you that you were the exception and not the trend as I don't always move across the world and sometimes emails slip through. Ask anyone who has applied at Rentify since. I take extra time out to ensure that candidates understand what Rentify is and what we can offer to employees in terms of career growth. I even wrote a few lengthy articles about it here: http://bufordtaylor.com/post/62455729428/how-we-interview-en...

To be fair, I thought that since you didn't return the coding challenge after 18 days that you simply weren't interested in the job.

And if by 'repeated follow-ups' you mean one email, then I am guilty of that as well and you have my apologies.

Furthermore, I'm assuming instead of 'last year' you meant June.

Finally, my name is Buf.

FujiFilm Medical Systems - Morrisville, NC (sorry, no remote, relocation available) Help us build a client-side framework for the next generation of medical imaging and medical information applications.

If I understand what you're saying correctly, I don't believe you can invokee a constructor defined in one window within another window ever. Javascript code is sandboxed to its current window/session in all browsers. You can't have multiple windows interacting with each other without some form of server-side code being involved. For what you're talking about (a web framework that has real time communication capabilities and can manage updates across multiple instances of the application on the same machine in different windows), you'll need to involve more than client side javascript. Unless you're talking about using Node.js, which you don't mention here.

Intercom ( https://www.intercom.io/ ). Intercom helps internet businesses communicate with their customers. Our mission is to make web business personal. We believe that the future of customer communication requires not increasingly complex, impersonal point solutions, but rather a simple, seamless platform that feels a lot more like Facebook than Salesforce. People love the product: https://twitter.com/intercom/favo…

We've been using Intercom for several months now. As a startup with a heavy demand for customer service and excellent communications we definitely recommend Intercom! They've given us the reputation of having full-time customer service reps despite the fact of only having a team of 3 (none of which are customer service positions). If you're not on them yet, it's highly recommended. If you need a job and looking to ch…
