Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2014)

MIT Lincoln Laboratory -- Lexington, MA (Boston) - Full Time (US Citizens)

The Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems group at Lincoln Laboratory has several openings for exciting positions working with quantum computing technology. Most needed are experimentalists and programmers willing to take on the challenge of structuring / automating data-taking and analysis for the next generation of quantum computing research. We code in Python.

There is also great need for an FPGA coder, for a homegrown technology platform that emphasizes low-latency for feedback experiments.

Experience with quantum optics, electromagnetic simulation, NV centers in diamond, MBE metals growth, or microwave engineering are all helpful.

Vurb confuses me because it says "Engineering All Levels" on vurb.com/jobs but then this post says "Lead Android Engineer." What do you really want?

FlareWorks - http://www.flareworks.co - San Francisco, CA. Bay Area Only

Interested in changing the world? Neither are we! But we are interested in having fun and building cool software.

FlareWorks is a mobile messaging startup headquartered in San Francisco, California. Our mission is to build a platform for contextual communication between family and friends that is easier, simpler and safer than texting. Our company’s visual messaging service —called Flares— uses visual cues, instead of text, to provide communication shortcuts between friends and family.

We're a seed funded, early stage startup, so this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor. You would be engineer number 3. We're looking for Android developers to help us take our mobile application and platform to the next level. Our mobile apps are the face of the organization and, as such, you’ll be on the front lines of creating an application and experience that has the potential to be used by millions of people every day. We're currently in the Apple app store and are now looking to expand into Android/Google Play. Our app was featured as the "best new app" by Apple the first week it was released and we have consistently received great press for our MVP.

Our Stack: * Node for our API. * Erlang for our platform.

What we offer:

  * We're not fans of 9-5 with a lunch break. Work when you want, where you want. Results matter. "Seat Time" does not. 
  * Unlimited PTO. Take the time off you need, when you need it. We don't offer prizes for 'attendance'. 
  * 5K equipment budget. Buy what you want; After a year with us, it's yours to keep. 
  * Company outings. We like to get out and do things as a team. Lunches, dinners, games, volunteering, concerts. We're always on the lookout for things to do. 
  * A real voice. We want to know what you think. If you have an idea or think something isn't working, we want to hear about it. Your voice counts. 
  * Generous options and an actual competitive salary (no low-balling + options bait and switch here ).

What we're looking for:

  * Android engineers. 
  * UX and visual design chops. 
  * Meticulous attention to details. 
  * Android: 
    * Animation and the hardware accelerated rendering pipeline as well as OpenGL ES. 
    * Location, Content and Media SDK experience. 
    

If this sounds like a good fit for you, email us ( jobs@flareworks.co ) and we'll talk.
