HappyFunCorp (http://happyfuncorp.com) - We're trying to find good developers, and we're also interested in designers and project managers.
We do web and app development for a panoply of clients ranging from Fortune 500 to brand-new startups: right now the distribution is roughly 50-50. Most frequently Android/iOS apps with a Rails-on-Heroku back end, though there's a fair amount of other variety too.
We prefer people with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt, but there are always exceptions. And we pay well.
If you're interested, email: jobs@happyfuncorp.com

We're looking for someone who has a lot of coding experience and expert-level fluency in at least one programming language (you don't have to be great at Ruby right now).
We're offering meaningful equity, a competitive salary, benefits, and relocation expenses.
If you’d like to find out more, email me at natalie@babyli.st
>> Junior developer intern (INTERN):
The Internship: You’ll work out of our office in Oakland for 12 weeks. The work will be a split 50/50 between admin stuff (that we really, really need help with) and writing real production code. The internship is paid and can lead to a full-time job. This program has been very successful with two interns already.
You: You’re a junior developer. You have some coding experience. You can clone our Rails code base and start to make small changes. This is a good fit for someone before or after an intensive developer bootcamp.
You are extremely motivated to learn and become a better developer. You’re a great writer and communicator. You have high-energy and are a positive person. You are good at multi-tasking and are comfortable with ambiguity.
To Apply: Send me an email (to natalie@babyli.st) that has: - A very short paragraph describing your coding background with a link to something that is live and running that you created. If you don’t have anything live, tell me what the most awesome thing you’ve built is.
- A very short paragraph about what your goals are. Be honest, instead of telling me what you think I want to hear.
- What is something else, unrelated to tech, that you’ve done that was hard and is cool.
- A link to your linkedin.com profile.
================================
* What we do:
We take real world government data and research, and turn them into interactive data viz tools. The Atlas of Economic Complexity is our current online tool that lets you interactively visualize a country’s trade and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. There are also other National Atlas projects in the pipeline, one for Colombia and one for Mexico.
The idea is that countries provide us with their data and the Center provides them with economic policy advice based on our economic theories, and an interactive tool to explore their situation and make sound policy decisions at the regional level. If you're looking for a high-impact job, this is it!
================================
* What we want to do:
We want to focus on building features around this idea of storytelling with data (see example at the end), as well as re-do our UI and design to be cleaner and up to modern standards, and to add better visualization capabilities. We look at NYtimes / WaPo data driven articles with envy. We salivate when we see Tufte's work.
We need you, dear frontend engineer, to make all that a reality!
We use d3.js for the visualizations. We know that at least the visualization part would be ideally suited for a single page app, and we'd love to implement something along those lines with Angular / Backbone / etc. We want to rethink our designs and how the frontend works in general.
Especially with the new national projects with Colombia and Mexico, you'll have free rein over the creative process and the technological aspects of your work.
==================================
* Our stack:
We use python, django, mysql (hopefully postgres soon), elasticsearch, ansible for the back end. For the frontend, it's jquery / d3 for now. Everything we do is open source: https://github.com/cid-harvard and we use Github for bug/feature tracking.
==================================
* Work environment / goals:
Coming from the startup world, the work environment is pretty laid back, but everyone is expected to hold their own and get their work done without being micromanaged. No late nights and weekends, although I've been known to do that once in a blue moon because I felt like it.
We're a small engineering team (me and a data viz researcher, plus a new super talented designer), but we work with a large group of brilliant doctoral / postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds like econ, public policy, physics, international development. I've been here only for a few months, but I've been given responsibility to fully overhaul and clean up the backend, which speaks towards the kind of autonomy you'll have.
I'm looking to build out our burgeoning team into a small but strong group that specializes in turning ideas into reality. We have great plans and dreams for the future of this site, and we need people to help. We'd love to hear more about you and see work samples if possible! To get in touch: mali underscore akmanalp at hks dot harvard dot edu.

* Demo of the current atlas:
An example of how the atlas is useful take this story here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/21/world/europe/h...
The EU recently placed sanctions sales of oil equipment, but not on oil imports. Why could this be? Almost 70% of russia's exports are petrol products:
http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/all...
And Russia exports the overwhelming majority of its petroleum products to Europe:
http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho... and http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho...
The big blue chunk is europe, meaning a sanction would really hurt Russia. However, when you look at who else the EU could buy from, the situation is grim:
http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/net_export/sho...
There’s practically no one who’s a real political ally that Europe could depend on, save for Norway. It’s interesting how it’s practically impossible to buy oil from a country that’s relatively stable and doing well on the HDI front. It’s worse if you consider the cost of transporting it, and how close Russia is:
http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/map/net_export/show/all...
Which probably explains why EU hasn't placed sanctions on oil imports from Russia.
Visit a lab for a Doctor’s appointment recently? Two vials of blood is a lot isn't it? Theranos is looking to completely redefine healthcare by solving speed and accuracy issues of current lab testing by combining SW engineering and life sciences using 1/1000 less blood than what is typically drawn today; our process have results in Doctors’ hands in as little as 2 hours allowing them to provide significantly more accurate treatments in a timely manner.

Sorry for the offtopic but could we also have a "Who is hiring non-programmers" or similar? I presume there are a lot of folk here who are not programmers but would be interested in tech-related companies.
We are a travel company. We provide accomodation solutions to over 100 companies around the world. We are starting a new project that will reduce our cost of buying inventory. This will involve machine learning and analytics. We are open to using Haskell or Clojure for the project. We have ambitious plans on what features we want to build. This is a great opportunity for somebody to build a solution ground-up with very exciting problems. You will have freedom to make the technology choices.
We are looking for one or two experienced, passionate developers to join us for this project. Send us your github profile and resume to careers.hn@wwstay.com. Prior experience with Haskell/Clojure would be great.
Videology Group - http://www.videologygroup.com/
Internet advertising startup looking primarily for server-side Java developers (if your Java is rusty but you're good, drop us a note anyway). I was working for a start-up called LucidMedia Networks (hence the "lmn" in the e-mail address below), which got acquired by Videology. Our stack is Java on Spring on *nix (Mac for dev, Linux on the servers) with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. The Baltimore office also has a team on a large .NET stack as well, but Java teams are spread across both offices. We have some big projects in the works involving big data and volume as we scale globally and across mediums (video, mobile, etc.). Currently, our Reston platform alone handles 4 billion requests a day.
Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.
I actually got hired through a HN "Who is Hiring" thread, and I hired 2 people through these threads. These things do work!
