TheLadders - New York, NY (Mostly on-site, remote and H1B for the right candidate)

---

We're looking primarily for front-end developers to help us build out our completely redesigned job-matching site. We have openings for back-end and iOS positions as well.

--

We're in the sweet spot, not quite a startup and not a giant company. As such, we have the ability to invest in our engineers: an annual $3K stipend for training, conferences--whatever grows you. Since we're also not that large, you'll have your fingerprints all over our product, seeing your designs and implementation in production. Read about what we do and how we do it: http://dev.theladders.com/

--

Backbone, SaSS, java, Scala, clojure, MySQL, Couchbase, RabbitMQ and friends all play a large part in our architecture.

FundApps - London, UK - http://www.fundapps.co/

FundApps is a startup bringing finance software kicking and screaming into the 21st century. We’re a small team who believe in simplicity, automation and testing – that’s why we’re bringing the benefits of cloud based software, agile development and simpler user interfaces to the finance industry.

We like working with smart people who love technology. If you know your .NET but don’t think that’s the end of the story technology-wise, we’d love to talk to you.

You’ll be getting your teeth stuck into:

- Big architectural decisions down to building best of breed front-end user interfaces

- Back-end messaging processing with RabbitMQ, number crunching algorithms through to AngularJS and Bootstrap UI.

- Establishing best practices – whether scalable infrastructure, distributed architectures or coding & testing

- Evaluating new technologies – NancyFX, Gulp, F# & Chef, are recent ones – we’re all about the right tool for the job.

If it sounds like it might be up your street, get in touch!
