Connexity - Camarillo/Ventura, Los Angeles, CA

Rails and Full-Stack Developers

We're looking for sharp folks eager to unlock the value of big data. We serve about 2 billion of transactions per day with super low latency through our online advertising platform. At that scale, every contribution to our platform can have a huge impact.

We hack on C, Scala, Rails, Redis, Hadoop, HBase and Postgres. We do data analysis with Hive and R. We're likely to get into Spark and Storm in the near future. We don't expect you to be an expert in any of these technologies. In fact, I joined the team as a dyed-in-the-wool .NET guy. More than anything we're looking for the right kind of can-do folks who thrive on building solid systems.

We offer a competitive salary, paid lunch, medical/dental, and uncapped vacation. We work a modified schedule to give us every other Friday off.

Maybe you know Rails but you've been wanting to learn Scala. Maybe you've tinkered with Kafka/Storm on a few EC2 instances but never had a chance to work with a ton of data. Maybe you've wanted to gain deep knowledge of the online advertising industry. We want you. You'll be joining a sharp team with a strong appetite for progress.

I'm one of the engineers, and I'd be happy to chat about our team even if you don't have a resume or consider yourself actively looking for a new gig. If you'd prefer to jump directly into the HR channel, I can connect you with the right folks. Email david.larsen@connexity.com.

Aruba Networks (AirWave group) | Sunnyvale, CA

senior front end / full stack engineer

You've worked with modern JS frameworks such as Backbone / Angular / Ember / Closure. You've worked on a team of at least 3 people. You know JavaScript and one server side scripting language (Perl / Python / Ruby). If this fits you, we want you to help build the UI and APIs for AirWave. AirWave is Aruba's software solution for managing and monitoring the health and usage of massive WiFi deployments. That means building APIs that expose the data we collect about the network and then UI dashboards to present the health of the network in different ways. If this sounds interesting, but you don't have a lot of JS experience we still want to talk to you.

Aruba Networks is a leader in providing enterprise-scale WLAN/edge networking products. Our customers include major universities, giant tech companies, and international retail stores with deployments numbering thousands of access points and tens of thousands of wireless devices.

We practice Agile/extreme programming with short release cycles in a fun, relaxed atmosphere that feels very much like working for a startup -- except without the long hours, and with all the benefits of being part of a larger company (401k, ESPP, open vacation, ability to visit apropos technical conferences, free pizza).

But enough about us, what about you?

You must have a solid grasp of computer science/software engineering concepts, including common data structures and algorithms and object-oriented design. You must also be familiar with at least one flavor of Linux (preferably CentOS/RHEL) and be completely at home on the UNIX command line.

Nice-to-haves: the more of these you can check off, the better:

- version control systems (preferably svn) - SQL databases (preferably Postgres) - web stack (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, Apache) - web frameworks (especially ExpressJS) - desire for life long learning. - passion for craft beer - ability guide a nerf dart to its target

To apply, please send your resume in plain text or PDF format only to airwave-resumes (at) arubanetworks.com

Resin.io -- Full-time Linux engineer

Location

--------

Remote, or on-site in Athens, Greece

About us

--------

We are building a seamless code delivery platform for embedded devices (like the Raspberry Pi). Think of it as Heroku for the Internet of Things if you must. We've already ported Docker to ARM CPUs and have hit quite a few more Linux, Docker & ARM related milestones internally. We are a company founded and led by developers and have a strong engineering-led culture. As long as there is progress, we are flexible with regard to location and work hours.

About you

---------

We are looking for Linux talent to work on our cloud services, deployed as Docker containers, but also to work on supporting arbitrary Linux-capable devices. The product is still young so you'll get a chance to have real impact on how the end result looks and feels to our users. Besides strong Linux skills, familiarity with Docker will help a lot. Much of our codebase (on cloud and device) is in node.js so JavaScript skill is a plus.

The Process

-----------

Send us your CV (a pointer to source code online is a great plus). Those that pass a phone interview will receive a small but paid project as a test. If we like working with you and you like working with us, you'll be offered a full-time job.

Get in touch

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

send your CV to hello@resin.io
