TechEmpower - Los Angeles area, California (El Segundo, near LAX)

You may recognize us from the Web Framework Benchmarks that have been discussed on HN periodically: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ (Look for Round 9 to be published later today!)

Here's the job:

TechEmpower, a small custom software development firm located in El Segundo, seeks developers with good object-oriented experience, preferably in Java, JavaScript, Python, and/or Ruby. We specialize in web application development but look for well-rounded application developers. If you are a solid programmer and a team player, this is an opportunity for you. Even if you don't have experience with everything listed in this ad, we offer excellent learning opportunities for those who are eager to expand their skill sets. Job Responsibilities

Working in small development teams, programmers participate in the architecture, design, and implementation of primarily Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, and PHP code to meet client requirements for robust, high-performance, and secure sites and applications. Developers get exposure to several client projects and a variety of technologies over time. Job Qualifications

In addition to overall programming capability, candidates must have experience working on collaborative development teams and very strong communication skills. While we employ and enjoy the company of extroverts and introverts alike, we reiterate that the ability to communicate clearly is a must-have for our technical staff. That means writing professional e-mails and interpreting the nuances of clients' requirements by asking good questions, for example.

We work hard to estimate projects accurately so that schedules are reasonable and developers work a normal amount of hours per week. We rely on developers to contribute to those estimates and provide feedback as a project goes along to keep things on track.

Ideal candidates will have experience building all facets of software systems including the data model, business logic, and front-end. 3+ years of object-oriented design and development in Java, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby is desired. On the front-end, HTML 5 and CSS experience is required.

Knowledge of some or all of the following specific tools and technologies is a plus:

    Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP
    Tools: Continuous Integration (Jenkins, Hudson, etc.), static code analysis (Sonar, etc.), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant, Maven
    Web: vert.x, Play, Spring, Django, Rails, node.js, JSP, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
    Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile or similar
    Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), cloud servers, Linux configuration, application servers (Resin, etc.)
    Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, Oracle, NoSQL (CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.)
We like technical people who are not afraid to have strong opinions about technology but simultaneously keep an open mind and are flexible enough to work with whatever technology the task at hand requires.

That said, we're mostly looking for great developers who are great to work with. If you don't have experience with everything listed above (and who does?) but are still a solid developer eager to learn new things, you might be a great fit here.

Please apply here: http://jobs.techempower.com/hn

REMOTE - Mandiant/FireEye - http://mandiant.com / http://fireeye.com

We're currently looking for several roles, including a junior front-end dev, Rails developers, and several security analyst positions that aren't on my team. On my team, we use Rails 4.x, PostgreSQL, Redis, etc. For the front-end role, we're looking for someone who wants to work more on the HTML/CSS implementation side of things and less so JavaScript (though JS skills will be useful).

Ping me at [my HN username]@gmail.com to chat about it.

Moveline http://moveline.com - REMOTE or Las Vegas, NV

TLDR: remote work, full-stack, JS, Node, Angular, Express, Mongo, Holacracy, Golang, Redis, Grunt, Bower, LESS, web + mobile

Moveline is transforming an industry older than the internal combustion engine. We ship every day and play Settlers on Fridays. Oh yeah, and Maker Day[1]!

We’re looking for a solid full-stack engineer who enjoys remote development, is self-motivated, and is ready to tackle tough problems.

>> About Us - Winner of 2014 TBAN Las Vegas Tech Transplant of the Year [2]

- Our organization is flexible and embraces the Holacracy model of governance. Self-determination is encouraged and self-motivation is essential

- Have only begun to tackle the problem space. Serious fun and challenges still lie ahead

- Our stack is primarily MEAN — Mongo/Express/Angular/Node - with some Golang on the backend. We regularly evaluate new tools and technologies for development advantages and not just because they are new and cool

- Techstars NYC 2012 graduate [3]

>> About You - Fluent in Javascript and comfortable jumping between client and server side development

- Passionate about code, development practices, and maintainable solutions and want to work with others who are similarly so. You can’t sleep at night knowing something is not DRY and unit-tested

- Architected and developed end-to-end products that are currently running business applications in a production environment

- Energized when working closely with others on a small team

- Want to build stuff that solves real human problems

- Don’t care if the moving industry isn’t sexy

- Would rather make money than make the front page of TechCrunch (though we do that too)

>> Compensation Market salary and meaningful equity is available. We’re primarily a remote engineering team, with the company (ops, marketing, customer service) based in Las Vegas in the heart of Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project. Hackers in Vegas or remote in the US welcome. Full Time or Contract-to-Hire only please. No freelancers or recruiters need apply.

VL25 - Cambridge, MA (Kendall Square), Boston area, open to remote but local preferred

Lead Developer (part of Founding Team): http://bit.ly/venturelabs

AngelList: https://angel.co/vl25-stealth-codename/jobs

Compensation: $80-100k salary, 3-5% equity

We are building an unbiased crowd-validated reputation engine for people. Most of the information on the Internet about people is self-generated content. Facebook has self-generated content about your personal life. LinkedIn has self-generated content about your professional life. When it comes to people, there's very little reputation info on the Internet. LinkedIn endorsements are a step in the right direction, but they only cover professional topics and many people don't find them useful. We are building the next generation reputation engine that validates a person's best qualities in a way that is reliable, useful, and fun. Everyone has qualities that they're proud of. We will help people build reputation from those qualities and get the most of out of their best reputation.

Be on the ground floor of a new company being incubated and launched out of Flagship Ventures. Work with smart passionate people to build something big and shake up the world.

We want to work with full-stack web developers and are not scared by people who specialize in different technology stacks. So if you're a great engineer and love building products, apply on AngelList or send your resume to Ray Lian at rlian@flagshipventures.com.

Sheffield, UK (possibly remote) - Delver - http://delver.io We're hiring a developers to help bring powerful natural language querying to every dashboard and reporting system in the world. We use Clojure day-to-day, but we'd be happy to talk to clever programmers with a background in other JVM or functional languages. NLP experience (academic or practical) would be great, but a CS background is a must. If you’ve been…

As a former (and probably future) Sheffielder I'm so proud to see a startup from one of my fav cities advertising on Hacker News. Represent! Keep up the good work :D
