FULLTIME - Assembly (assemblymade.com) - San Francisco

We're hiring Front-End, Ruby, and Full-stack Engineers to help us build foundational pieces of the Assembly platform. You would have a direct hand in shaping the future of work and unlocking the power of independent creators. Assembly's collaborative platform enables the creation of a new class of open source software products; where anyone around the world can help collectively build, retain ownership, and receive profit for their contributions.

We’re currently a small 4 person team in San Francisco that has recently secured a healthy financing from top-tier investors which will enable us to tackle the enormous challenges of creating a ‘meta’ company (a software company that creates software companies). We believe in progress over consensus, strong opinions weakly held, moving fast is best even if it breaks things, and we make what we measure - but you'll have the opportunity to add your own lessons to that list. We work alone and we work together; meaning we believe the best know how to get things done on their own, as well as how to work in a team. Everyone on the team is responsible for self directing their work and has a tremendous impact on our shared success.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

* Understand pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch frequently.

* Strong opinions on testing & code quality.

* Over 3 years experience with Ruby.

* Experience with Heroku, ElasticSearch, Postgres, or Redis a plus.

WHAT WE OFFER

* Free meals.

* Flexible work hours.

* Open vacation policy. We don't count days.

* If you're sick, just stay home and get better.

* Stand up desks, mac book pros, cinema displays...Buy or build your ideal work environment

* A sunny office space.

* Competitive salary and equity package.

* Health, dental and vision benefits.

* Team "Workations” where we all travel somewhere for a week for a change of environment

We’re located in Mission, San Francisco, CA. It would be great if you are local or willing to relocate (we'll cover the cost) but we’ll also open to telecommuting as long as you are located in the US and it is legal for you to work here.

Please apply by sending any work, resume, github username to jobs@assemblymade.com

New York, NY.

Full Time.

http://www.thehackerati.com

Software developers at all experience levels. Front end web, back end, big data, iOS/Android. We don't care what languages you know, as long as you're highly skilled in at least one. We use agile and tend to use the same kinds of technologies you'd see in your typical YC startup. Email me if interested:

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan (INTERN yes, REMOTE/H1B no)

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US

  - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
    In the past few months, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside
    PhoneGap), Angular.js, Ruby (of course) and a little bit of Java and C#.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.
A little bit about Grand Rapids:

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

  - If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
    you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

  - A growing technology and startup community.
A little bit about you:

  - You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.
I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, send me your resume/CV and a little bit about why you’re interested:

Ann Arbor, MI preferred, remote possible.

Senior developer at Alfa Jango (http://www.alfajango.com). We build startups. We act as CTO and development team for startups that need it. We also spend a fair amount of time working on our internal and open source projects. We're a small team of 4 looking to grow to a slightly less small team of 5.

We use mostly Ruby and JavaScript, but always looking for the best tool for the job.

Email angie@alfajango.com.

I'd write more, but I'm on my phone and not back at my computer until later today.

New York - Software Engineer

VFiles is the hippest and foulest-mouth fashion startup around. Our shop[1] is the most relevant fashion destination in New York today, our YouTube shows[2] are insanely popular, and we want you to help us bring our social media site to life.

We are looking to add one or two more engineers to our current team of two (in a company of about twenty). Every engineer here will be full-stack, though we're happy to have someone who leans to one side or the other and is eager to learn. Technologies we use include Ruby, Haskell, Angular, Coffeescript, Redis, and more. As part of our team, you will have both a strong voice in the vision and direction of our product and a good deal of autonomy and control in the specific projects you work on.

As for fringe benefits, we throw the most talked about parties in town (hosted by A$AP Mob and crashed by Kendrick Lamar), we have company trips to Montauk, we organize funky Soul Cycle rides with famous designers and models, and we're invited to pretty much everything happening, culture-wise, in New York. You'll work with a diverse group of people with a number of skillsets, all of whom - editorial, video, design - are at the very top of their game.

We can only consider candidates eligible to work full-time in the US who live or are planning to move to New York City at this time.

You can write the Chief Engineer directly at tim (a) vfiles (dot) com to express your interest.
