Harvard University - Cambridge MA / Greater Boston Area

This is a somewhat strange job offer, it will not be like most other jobs posted here.

I am looking for someone to replace me as a researcher in Jennifer Lewis' 3D printing lab[0] at Harvard. Jennifer is a world leader in 3D printing of novel materials, and her lab has some of the most precise 3D printers in the world.

You will be the only software developer in the group, and will be responsible for designing tools that keep the printers running, tools that make other researchers designs easier to implement, tools that automate the printing process, and in general any tools you think would make the lab more efficient. You will be a part of world class research, and your work will directly effect the process.

You need to be a incredibly self directed person, as you will be the only software developer in the lab. Passion for 3D printing and the ability to work directly with the end users of your software are a must. Experience designing GUIs is preferred.

Most of the tools I've built up are in python, so experience there would be a plus. For an example of tools you would be working on, see this github repo:

https://github.com/jminardi/mecode

Inbox | https://www.inboxapp.com/ | San Francisco, CA (Mission) | Frontend (JS), Design, Backend (Systems+Ops) Hi! We're "The Company Formerly Known As Inbox,"[0] and we're looking for help building the next generation email platform. We're building a missing piece of Internet infrastructure and are looking for frontend engineers and designers and systems and infrastructure/operations engineers to join us.

Companies are building their core businesses around our email API right now, and that means we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. That means big technical challenges to solve as we scale out our fledgling distributed backend. If you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, this job might be for you. :)

Many people spend their entire days buried in mail clients which haven't significantly changed in years. That means many opportunities to tackle UX challenges as we build out our client scaffolds and create a new framework for the next generation of mail apps. (Ever meet anyone who really loves their email experience? We want to change that.) Sound exciting to you? Apply here.

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership.

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team.

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that.

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on tools like Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, Docker, and Debian. Go is likely to join this list soon. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.

* Our frontend projects use Coffeescript, React, (Re)Flux, WebSQL for offline caching, Atom Shell (NodeJS + Chromium), with a strong focus on extensibility.

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/inboxapp

* We're 46% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.

* Our sunny Mission office is more lived-in than tidy. Think art studio, not corporate.

* We're more likely to end up at the climbing gym or on a bike ride together than out drinking at the latest startup event.

* We have an open vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership.

Apply via Lever at https://www.inboxapp.com/jobs. Include a cover letter letting us know what draws you to the job. We welcome and encourage applications from women and people of colour.

[0] A certain large company recently launched a product of the same name, so we're going to change ours soon. Roll with the punches, eh?

Experienced .Net/Java Developer, London, UK

We are an established, growing technology consultancy who use technology in a smart, innovative way to solve business problems. Our core business is to deliver technology solutions so the company is run by and consists of technologists.

We have built two of our customers’ technology systems from scratch: one was a full back-end system written in C# controlling large data flows and providing front end reporting and management. We have recently built an android solution for a mobile workforce, which is currently being expanded to 500+ users over the next few months.

The second was to build an online coupon management portal which links the point of sale to the digital world.

We are currently working with a third client to take a dynamic digital media outlet from being able to run up to 4 digital campaigns concurrently to over 80.

We pick projects that require and enable us to solve problems for clients – recent examples include: •

Based in London we have a relaxed, professional work environment in an open plan office alongside other start up companies, it is dress down and although we take delivery of our work seriously we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

We are seeking experienced developers who are:

Technically curious Enjoy researching and playing around with technologies to understand how they work, integrate and their limitations. We run, or at least try to run, a technical book club, recommendations welcome.

Technologically agonostic - more or less Willing to collaborate and use the right technology for the job in hand. We won't be asking you to learn Cobol but we do want people who are willing and able to pick up new technologies.

That being said we are, fundamentally, a .NET shop. All be it we just did an interesting project on Android, so C#/Java would be a massive plus.

Experience in any of the following would be great: Java, JavaScript, DI/IOC, ORM, Mocking, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MVC, WPF, angular JS or knockout.

TDD We are either looking for people who have experience of TDD approaches or have looked into them enough to know the tools involved and the benefits it gives - we'll teach you the rest.

Able to 'get it' Ahh the elusive 'it'. What do we mean by 'it'? Covers a range of things - the classic description is problem solving which we hope you would want and be able to do but this goes beyond that. 'It' is the ability to cut through the muddle to understand the real issue we need to solve for our clients. 'It' is knowing how to stretch and bend technologies so that they deliver what we need, not what they say they do on the packet. 'It' is thinking ahead and understanding the wider and long term impact of whatever you're coding now - being structured and logical in your approach. 'It' is knowing when your colleagues need a coffee to be made for them. There are tons of 'getting it' needs which we'll hope you add to.

The role will involve you in end to end development – requirements capturing to delivery

If this sounds interesting, please email me – Eleanor Martin on eleanor.martin@comade.co.uk (you can see a very lifelike picture of me on our website) or call 0207 112 4897.
