Hstry - Boston, MA (LearnLaunchX Winter '14) (http://www.hstry.co)

Hstry is a Boston-based ed-tech startup part of the LearnLaunchX accelerator focused on bringing history to the digital classroom. The product we are building is a fully-responsive HTML5 web application used on tablets, desktops, laptops and smartphones. We think that in educational software, usability and design have not been given enough attention so we assign a lot of importance to good UX and clean user interfaces. The stack consists of a REST API implemented in Ruby on Rails and a thick-client front-end based on the Ember.js framework.

We’re looking for a full-stack web developer with a passion for web development, who is well-versed in both Ruby and Javascript and who has a good sense of UX. Experience in the development of single-page apps (Ember.js, Angular, Backbone or other) is highly valued.

You will be

    - Adding new features to the application, from extending the REST API to
      writing the CSS
    - Contributing to all phases of building a great product
    - Working in a small team of developers
    - Working remotely is fine but we would like you to join our office at
      least once every two weeks

The application we’re building is changing the way K-12 students study history today. You will be an early member of Hstry and you will work with interesting web technologies in an agile environment at the LearnLaunchX offices in downtown Boston, within a team that can bring ideas to market.

Employee equity packages are on offer.

Interested? Shoot me an email at yoran@hstry.org.

- Yoran (CTO)

Join a growing sales team (you'd be the 5th team member) at an established company (6 years) that still has that start up feel.

Columbia, MD

We're a small company in the Maryland suburbs transforming how states manage Medicaid information. This is an exploding niche and we have a bright future ahead of us but we need your help to build it!

We're looking for .NET software engineers with 'SOLID' C# skills and experience with ASP.NET MVC, NoSQL, HTML5, and JavaScript frameworks such as Knockout, Angular, or Durandal. Knowledge of domain-driven design, service-oriented architecture, and OO design patterns is a plus. Experience with RavenDB is a huge plus. If you don't know any of this stuff, that's fine too – just love to code in C#.

E-mail questions, comments, or your resume to ubiquitous.croak@gmail.com.

Complete Automation Resource (http://completear.com)

Rockford, MI (near Grand Rapids), not remote, but frequent work-from-home opportunities

Developers, PLC programmers, Controls Engineers

We do industrial integration, meaning we get to program lasers and robot arms (my last week). We also build machines, write lightweight mobile apps, and create interfaces to machines that weren't built with one in mind.

Relaxed atmosphere, frequent new projects, ever expanding business. Everyone says disruptive, but the monitoring package we build with allows us provide services at about a fourth of what the traditional options cost (and usually the same factor of development time).

We use Python and SQL (Server, but increasingly postgres) every day, but I've dipped into Java, Objective C, and a smidgeon of VBA on the job.

For developers, the languages you know are not as important as your ability to solve new problems, learn and grow.

We are also looking for PLC programmers and/or Controls Engineers.

If interested, see my profile for contact info.
