PagerDuty - San Francisco and Toronto, Full time If you're looking for a start up that's growing quickly solving a real problem rather than selling ads, we're making the process of fixing technology problems better. We also just raised $27MM, to add quite a bit more brain power * I have a soft spot for our Evangelist role: http://pduty.me/1oVNvmu * We're hiring smart devs regardless of language in Tornto: http://pdut…

What he said– here's some more folks we want:

Data Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/XoPJjX

Our aim is to help everyone at the company make faster and informed business decisions with data. You'll be playing an integral role in building tools and infrastructure to clean, store, explore, and report on the data we have here at PagerDuty. We are looking for an engineer who is not afraid to get their hands dirty with all parts of the data warehouse code base -- we solve problems using Ruby, Python, Pandas, JavaScript, SQL, BigQuery and Google Apps Script.

Operations Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/1qPLKtN

As a seasoned ops expert, you understand the importance and impact that good operations can have on the rest of a product and the positive ripple effects that it can have across an entire engineering organization. You have written vast amounts of code and have solved multiple problems by automating your way out of them. You have replaced yourself time and time again with your code. We don't require any experience with any particular technology, but you should have good knowledge of at least one scripting language, (Ruby, Perl, Python, etc), and have used at least one config management system (Puppet, Chef, Ansible) before.

Realtime Engineer (SF, Toronto): http://jobsco.re/1u72QB0

You’ve worked on distributed and highly available systems. You’ve had experience with different system architectures, and have opinions about what works and what doesn’t. Concepts like consistency, availability, real-time dispatching, and distributed queueing aren’t merely buzzwords for you, and you've worked on enough mission critical software to know that reliability comes from a fault-tolerant design checked by an extensive test plan.. You should have a broad background in CS fundamentals, know your way around a RDBMS, and ideally be somewhat familiar with NoSQL tech and use cases.

Senior Software Engineer (SF): http://jobsco.re/1ogPgFM

We're building out our long-term architecture and that involves designing, implementing, and maintaining new services and APIs for our users, both internal and external. You know what good and bad architecture looks like, and you want to be able to spread good architecture wherever you go. You understand the complexities of designing systems that are robust, and the trade-offs required to build something that many can use.

Senior Website Marketing Manager (SF): http://jobsco.re/XoSgdV

Are you a Marketing Rockstar with experience managing revenue-generating B2B websites and shaking up the digital marketing world? We are looking for an accomplished marketer who will help lead PagerDuty’s website. That means you are the person responsible for strategy, planning & execution of all PagerDuty’s web properties and website programs to accelerate revenue, effectively target existing and new markets, and building model for conversion and efficiency. You are a key player in driving direct revenue for the company through ecommerce, as well supporting a fast-growing sales organization that needs a growing number of qualified leads.

Yahoo Fantasy Sports - http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy - Sunnyvale, CA We are the #1 fantasy sports destination on the web. Fantasy Sports is a booming industry that is growing every year and has one of the most passionate and engaged users on the web. We have several positions that we are currently trying to hire for as we try to bring home the championship. Sports and fantasy knowledge is a plus, but not required. Just a willingness to get a little crazy and watch sports! Watching sports will be a part of your job, how cool is that? Here is what we are hiring for:

1. Data Scientist - We have some of the largest warehouses of both user generated and sports data anywhere. This is a sports nuts' dream! Apply for this if you love figuring out what users are doing and how to iterate on the product based on numbers.

2. Backend engineer - We are creating a new, state of the art backend infrastructure. Fantasy Sports is one of the most challenging backends on the web, due to the spiky nature of traffic. During an NFL Sunday, our peak RPS can exceed twitter! Apply for this if you love massive scaling and performance optimization.

3. Mobile engineer - Looking for both iOS and Android expertise. I was acquired by Yahoo last year (http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/01/yahoo-acquires-bignoggins-a...), and my goal is to make Yahoo Fantasy Sports the runaway leader in mobile sports apps. We have a great team of designers and developers, and Yahoo mobile is actually now the largest mobile development organization in the world! We are taking mobile seriously, and you can help us get there.

4. SDET - For fantasy sports, we can NOT make mistakes. No fumbles, no turnovers, nothing. Our crack team of SDETs writes automated test scripts and build testing and release infrastructure to make sure that the devs can move fast and (not) break things!

Yahoo may not be the most glamorous company in the Valley, and we definitely don't have it all figured out. Most startups let you make a big impact in a small pond, and a big company lets you make a small impact in a big pond. Yahoo is the rare opportunity to make a big impact in a big pond. There is a lot of low hanging fruit that we need to solve, and if you want to be part of one of the most epic turnaround stories in the Valley, then hit me up!

If you wanna come kick ass and chew bubble gum, hit me up at bignoggins@yahoo-inc.com!

Connectifier (http://www.connectifier.com/careers) is located in sunny Newport Beach, CA (45 minutes south of Los Angeles).

Every month millions of jobs are left unfilled. This means people look for work longer, companies move slower, and products and services that we all want don't get delivered. Recruiting is a $400 billion per year industry, and there is ample room to make it better. Connectifier is a small but quickly growing venture-backed startup that’s passionate about solving the hiring problem. We build software to streamline the recruiting process and connect talented candidates with the companies looking to hire them. Join us to be an early employee at a fast growing startup!

Our engineering team has a depth of talent from places like Google, Microsoft Research, Berkeley National Lab, Carnegie Mellon, and Stanford. We’re committed to helping each other learn and grow while having a blast, and we’re looking for developers that are smart, ambitious, and get things done. We mostly work in Java, but you’ll get bonus points for server/backend, MongoDB, HTML, JavaScript, or machine learning experience. You’ll get to design and develop large scale data processing systems, work alongside a talented set of peers, and make an impact beyond what is possible at a large, bureaucratic company.

We offer a highly competitive salary and stock compensation package, including 100% employee coverage for medical, dental, life, and disability insurance. We also provide lunch and a fully-stocked snack bar & coffee station. To decompress, we play table tennis at the office, or volleyball at the beach (which is walking distance from our office!).

Placing the right people in the right jobs is hard, and since we took on this challenge, we've already helped hundreds of companies, from fledgling startups to the Fortune 100s, find and recruit the best talent. We want to improve people's lives by helping them work somewhere they love. If you want to help us change the world and drive the economy forward, shoot us an email at jobs+hn@connectifier.com

WalmartLabs - Clojure Developer. San Francisco (full time) or US remote.

You can work on Clojure at quite a few companies, but rarely can you impact millions of people at such a personal level. Walmart's mobile apps are highly rated and the services we write to support them are the base of that success. We started from a small company acquisition with a single product. Today, we power a platform and a suite of products running on mobile devices and systems in retail stores.

Our team has a unique environment. We're still a small, flat team of engineers. We work with our own tools and make our own build-or-borrow decisions. Our culture is a healthy mix of sharing and pushing each other to be better at our craft. For example, we pair program when it best suits the task. We use pull requests & code reviews liberally. We make refactoring time. We deploy often, with a single line of code run from a REPL. Engineers on our team are challenged to work through our full software stack and be part of our product and project management. We believe that people are more engaged, fulfilled and happy when they feel responsible for actually shipping their work. What we're all about

The environment at WalmartLabs balances moving fast and breaking shit, with the knowledge that we could break shit for 140 million people every week. It's a tough balance but we've found the payoff to be worth the challenge and responsibility.

Some aspects of our work that are important to us:

  - high performance distributed systems
  - robust & well-factored codebases
  - simple & fast deployments
  - automating the hell out of operations
  - thorough system test coverage
  - managing our own development process and work backlog
  - pair programming when it makes sense (locally and remotely)
  - contibuting back to the clojure & open source community
  - having an engaging team culture and environment
What we do:

  - write all our production systems & tools in Clojure
  - create and orchestrate massive distributed systems
  - spin up RESTful web services for consuming & ingesting large volumes of data
We are just a part of:

  - Walmart is the world's largest retailer and one of the world's top online 
    retailers. The scale of challenges and potential impact is enormous.
  - Walmart is actually a group of retail businesses spread all over the world
    including Sam's Club, Asda (UK), Massmart, Walmart International
  - WalmartLabs is a software development shop responsible for tools, platforms 
    and applications for new products in all Walmart businesses. These 
    include platform tools, data analytics & machine learning, search engines, 
    mobile applications and physical retail tools.
  - WalmartLabs Mobile builds mobile applications and backend services for all 
    Walmart businesses.
