mPath - http://mpath.com - Palo Alto (Downtown) and San Francisco (Noe), REMOTE welcome.

======== The Opportunity ========

Semi-stealth startup in the enterprise mobile space. That's all I can tell you, but you can derive more from our website, videos and github.

You might be interested in these positions if you:

* Want to work with an experienced, well-connected founding team * Want to bring a sophisticated consumer experience to enterprise mobile * Are open-minded, curious and always feel the need to learn something new * Think having customers and revenue is important

======== Openings ========

We prefer to hire generalists, but we have a few very specific needs right now. They're at the top of this list. Learn more at https://github.com/mpath-development/hiring

Web/UI (Javascript) Engineer - React.js and Sinatra - http://www.jobscore.com/jobs2/mpath/web-ui-developer/c04O0Is...

iOS Engineer - http://www.jobscore.com/jobs2/mpath/senior-ios-engineer/bw6X...

DevOps - OpsWorks, Amazon - http://www.jobscore.com/jobs2/mpath/senior-devops-engineer/a...

Sr. Software Engineer (Service Architecture) - Java -http://www.jobscore.com/jobs2/mpath/software-engineer/cHaNXI...

======== Why mPATH? ========

I'll tell you why I work here: The founding team is amazing. Both Claus and Trae have deep enteprise experience, and an intense desire to bring a game-changing platform to the market. We've been lucky to hire some super-talented engineers and designers. Thus, our team is a great group of people to work with. It's small right now, so we're being highly selective about the people we are bringing on board.

This company is going to go places. This is my third startup, and I've never seen so much interest in a pre-launch company. Every time we demo to customers, potential partners and investors, they are amazed.

Our seed investor, Randall Kaplan (co-founder of Akamai), is also very well-connected in the enterprise market.

We're Hiring at Prismatic (getprismatic.com) The office is located in SOMA in San Francisco.

=============

Frontend Engineer at Prismatic: iOS, Web, and Android. http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5971

==

Strong CS basics in data structures and algorithms. Strong engineering; thoughtful design and clean code. Graphics, browser, games, or animation experience a big plus. A front-end engineer that has a strong computer science background, but wants to focus on product engineering rather than backend systems. You don’t want to just take off the shelf UI components, but want to explore new interactions. You aren’t afraid to dig under the hood of iOS frameworks or browser code in order to make an animation or interaction feel natural and smooth.

=============

Backend Engineer at Prismatic: http://boards.greenhouse.io/prismatic/jobs/5976

==

Prismatic is a great place to be a backend engineer - we analyze millions of shared web pages every day, automatically classify them into tens of thousands of topics, and serve up personalized feeds in real-time using our homegrown, lightning fast, machine learning-based relevance engine. We are looking to grow our top-notch team, with both junior and senior-level positions available. We are looking for engineers with deep interest and knowledge in at least one area core to our business (i.e., distributed systems, ops and tooling, machine learning, designing and building new product features). We’re a small team, so you will have the opportunity to have a lot of impact, and to learn from peers who are extremely talented engineers, computer scientists, and data experts. Our backend is written entirely in Clojure, a JVM-based LISP that is a dream to work in. Almost none of us knew it before we joined, and we don’t expect you to either. We do, however, expect the following: - You live and die by good abstractions. You know that they can make the difference between easily understandable and maintainable code, and a spaghetti mess. - You think about edge cases and performance implications, and anticipate future needs. - You read and understand existing code before diving in and adding your own. You re-use existing code whenever possible, cleaning it up as needed to be more generally useful. - You know when to do it fast, when to do it right, and how to find the best compromise between the two. - You recognize that we are all stewards of the codebase, not owners. You leave code better than you found it, and you fix bugs without grumbling about whose they are. - You are a team player who enjoys discussing ideas and implementations with other engineers. Here’s a small sampling of the things you will be working on as a member of the Prismatic backend team: - Making our crawlers and document analysis better and more comprehensive - Building out new product features in our API - Solving tough systems problems to help us scale reliably and robustly - Building and improving Machine Learning systems for ranking, document analysis, and more - Creating tools to assist development and ops - Shipping some of the best open-source Clojure libraries out there, and working with the community to make them better

* Work with a tech team where testing and QA are already deeply embedded in their DNA

* Roll up your sleeves and manually test the last mile when new features are rolled out

* Work with a team that already understands the importance of testing - all code must have rspec and cucumber tests written before getting shipped

* Help the developers understand what needs to be tested by involving yourself in the requirements gathering process early on

* Make an impact as we build a 21st century loan management system

Amongst your skills:

* Years of QA experience testing web, mobile and API products

* You love setting up frameworks and love giving input on how to re-organize roles and responsibilities to improve QA

* You're motivated to automate as much of QA as possible - and love researching new ways to do so

* Nothing gets by you – you understand a complicated product deeply and think of all the edge cases

* Proactive – you love giving feedback and strive to build a better product

* Very good at what you do

* Not afraid to think

We have:

* Sane working hours

* Great compensation

* Opportunity to work at a startup seeing huge growth and lots of success

SF - Angaza - http://www.angazadesign.com/

Angaza is tackling both global poverty and climate change through a single focus: building a new energy economy for the billion+ people in off-grid markets. These markets are leapfrogging conventional centralized energy generation, becoming the center of development for the distributed renewable systems that will replace it. Software for integrated metering, finance, and payments makes this development possible.

Angaza is hiring a software engineer to join our team in San Francisco. Your challenges may include extending and scaling our backend platform for payments and analytics; taking our HTML5+JS frontend to the next level; designing synchronization protocols for highly constrained channels; squeezing DSP code into fewer bytes than this paragraph; and traveling occasionally to field sites across the world.

If hired, you will become part of a small team creating a new approach to energy in emerging markets. You will receive both a salary and an equity stake in the company. See http://www.angazadesign.com/jobs/software-engineer/ and contact us at careers@angazadesign.com.

All: someone downvoted many comments in this thread. We are undoing all of those downvotes and applying them instead to the post they were intended to promote. We're also banning the accounts that did it, at least until we get a promise that this will never happen again.

We'll probably also write some code to find any other accounts that have done this.

I'm reluctant to disable downvoting on the "who is hiring" threads, because not all posts to these threads are appropriate, and the community does a good job of handling those.
