We use GitHub for version control and our infrastructure is entirely hosted via cloud services. We care about keeping our libraries up-to-date and test coverage. While most of our stack is on Rails today, we're comfortable with other technologies and always strive to use the right tool for the job.

This is a full-time position at our headquarters in Dallas, TX and includes a competitive base salary, a full range of benefits, stock options, and an awesome team of creative people by your side.

## Requirements

- Passion for developing excellent software and an appreciation for elegant code

- Strong understanding of web services and REST concepts

Current positions:

* Senior Front End Engineer (http://www.thefactory.com/pdfs/sr_frontend.pdf)

* Senior Back End Engineer (opportunistic)

* Other roles (opportunistic, up to and including CTO)

You can read more about us here: http://gigaom.com/2013/06/21/the-factory-janus-friis-todd-be...

On the front end, we use reactive patterns for both web (ClojureScript) and mobile (Objective C).

On the back end, we have a message bus-oriented microservice architecture built in Scala (with Finagle) and Go. Services are packaged as Docker containers and continuously deployed to a Mesos+Marathon cluster on AWS.

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

Join as a Rails and Front-End Developer to continue to build out our online advertising platform. We work at a scale where seemingly "small" improvements can have a big impact. In the last 24 hours, we served over 117 million impressions and processed several billion total transactions. (Nice numbers going into Cyber Monday!).

You'd take ownership of the Rails app, which is the primary means of managing hundreds of campaigns running through our platform. This role is a great way to learn advertising tech as well as other tools. You'd get exposure to Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. In other words, this isn't just a boring, run-of-the-mill CRUD app.

Our team is sharp and works well together. While we enjoy perks such as paid lunch and unlimited vacation, the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work. Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a senior dev on the team) at dlarsen@connexity.com. Informal inquiries are great.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you're junior... "A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept."

Matasano Security - Chicago. New York City. Sunnyvale. Job Title: Application Security Consultant

-- .- - .- ... .- -. --- ... . -.-. ..- .-. .. - -.--

Once a professor shared a piece of career advice with me. "Don't call yourself a coder," he said, "anyone can learn to code, but programming takes real skill." His words have stuck with me since. Coding was, in his description, the mere act of producing something a computer can interpret and act upon. Programming, however, seeks elegance and simplicity through considered design and thought that transcends the code itself. While both take skill, the goals are different and they can be thought of as distinct disciplines.

Application Security, I've come to believe, is yet another discipline with a slightly different focus. 'Coders' focus almost exclusively on iterating until they achieve a desired result. 'Programmers' might test and refine to improve performance and reduce resource consumption. But with an Application Security perspective, we instead look at unintended functionality and edge cases that give rise to problems; 'What if' scenarios involving abuse cases that weren't part of the original design. It's yet another way of looking at the same application, with a different goal and different outcome.

At Matasano, we don't build software, we break it. We find, exploit, document, and prioritize flaws so the application's developers can address them. We identify when security controls are effective, and note areas for improvement. We review use cases, identify abuse cases, and help guide future development efforts. We work across a wide variety of applications ranging from simple web apps, to complex hardware appliances. From HTTP to proprietary encrypted protocols, and everything in between. As a team, we're as comfortable with ROP chains and memory corruption vulnerabilities as Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection. As individuals, we excel in our areas of focus while cross-training and broadening our skills. We're among the leaders in our industry and community, and give back through research, tools, and practice environments.

If improving the state of software security while kicking up some dirt in the process seems like fun, check us out. If you're fueled by pride of finding unexpected solutions, we have plenty of challenging problems for you. If you're not content to be a 'coder' and long for something more fulfilling, get in touch.

Senior Python Data Scientist and Senior Software Engineer - Recursion Pharmaceuticals

Question for you: What's the most challenging, impactful, rewarding set of computational problems you could be working on, that will really change lives?

We’re a small and fast-growing biotech startup with an amazing set of advisors including the Broad’s Anne Carpenter, and we're using high throughput genetic perturbation experiments in human cells, automated image segmentation and quantitation of hundreds of features for every cell, and machine learning and statistics to find new treatments for rare genetic diseases faster than anyone has previously thought possible. If that sounds like a lot of biology, don’t worry—you’ll be up to speed in a week or two. Just know this: there are more than 5,000 rare genetic diseases, in total affecting more than 10 million people in the US alone, and only a handful are treatable. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years. See who we are at http://www.recursionpharma.com/team

We’re looking for exceptional computational scientists to help lead our analysis efforts, with the following criteria:

- Native-level fluency in probability, statistics and modeling; several years of experience in statistics, machine learning, and software development solving problems using lots of data, ideally using python’s scientific stack; thorough understanding of fundamentals of machine learning such as cross-validation and learning curves, plus an ability to explore new types of data independently and get an effective guess as to what sorts of models and assumptions make sense as a starting point.

- A track record of outstanding projects, publications, or presentations that demonstrate successful application of the above talents.

- Motivation to tackle some of the most challenging data problems around, to work with other sharp and highly-motivated individuals with diverse backgrounds, and to make lots of patients’ lives dramatically better.

- Biology background not required; intellectual curiosity and motivation to learn is critical.

- Key tools and skills (not all required): python, machine learning, sklearn, ipython, data science, pandas, interactive analysis, linux fluency, bioinformatics (definitely not required)

More details and how to reach us: http://www.recursionpharma.com/lead-python-data-scientist.ht...

More openings including software engineering roles: http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers.html

Recursion Pharmaceuticals is based in Research Park at the edge of the mountains overlooking Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 top ski resorts.

Disco | Houston, TX | Engineering, Operations, and Sales (also VP Engineering)

Disco makes the best legal technology in the world, and is looking for exceptional people to join us. Our goal is to automate every part of the legal profession that doesn't require human legal judgment.

Our team already includes some of the best and brightest out there, including the youngest-ever Harvard Law graduate, a YC alum, and the former CIO of Sonic Foundry.

Shoot us an email if you are looking for important societal problems and great challenges, including using machine learning to categorize legal evidence (starting in the coming months). Eventually we want to be the Google of private data.

Our engineering stack is .NET/RavenDB/Lucene, with a heavy javascript front end. If you are are great at whatever you work with, we want to talk to you, but we especially need those with experience in our stack (or front-end), or with file-type processing (extracting images and text of the files) or pdf.js. We are also looking for QA engineers - but again, if you are exceptional at whatever you do, we want to at least have a conversation!

We just raised $10M from Bessemer (and were profitable before we took funding), so we are around for the long haul.

Email me directly at gabe@csdisco.com with a short note about why you would be a good fit for Disco!

More on Disco and our team here: http://csdisco.com

Thanks for reading!
