Redbooth is looking for senior Rails developers.

Join one of the best teams in town and have an impact to the thousands of customers that are using our product.

We are looking for people that have production experience with high traffic websites and are able to learn new technologies. Finding solutions out of the comfort zone is part of our daily routine.

The challenges you will face will be to keep the fast-paced development cycle without sacrificing quality, stability nor performance. To achieve that we successfully architected the application moving away from the classic monolithic default Rails approach.

Our stack includes: Ruby/Rails, Rspec, MySQL, Redis, Erlang/Ejabberd, Javascript/Backbone/Marionette, Travis, Nodejs, Puppet, AWS...

The conditions are exceptional (really good salary and stock!) and we have a strong culture of collaboration and quality work. One example can be our cleaning fridays: developers dedicate time to reduce technical debt, improve tooling and testing coverage.

If you want to grow and be part of one of the most successful startups in Barcelona don't hesitate to apply!

What should I do?

Rinse - www.rinse.com - Design District, San Francisco, CA

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. We've been growing our service at an exponential rate for the past year, and our customers love us! We have a number of open positions, and have hired a significant portion of our team via Hacker News.

Rinse is hiring a Software Engineer to develop our functionality across the stack. We have hybrid mobile apps for both Android and iOS for our customers AND our drivers. We also have sophisticated web-based tools for our customer service team, internal operations staff, and vendors. Laundry is a surprisingly-complex logistical process, and so our customer-facing software is just the tip of the iceberg. We're solving problems like the Traveling Salesman and image classification, too. Our tech stack is approximately HTML5 / Backbone.js / Django / Python / Postgres / Heroku / Ubuntu, but we're a tiny tech team, so any newcomer will be able to shape architecture.

We're also hiring for a "Special Operations Associate" which is someone who may not have unique technical ability, but who has great aptitude and a willingness to work hard to improve our business. Analytical capability and attention to detail are important skills for this person. Bonus points for someone with an Industrial Engineering or Process Engineering background. This position is great for an ambitious hustler looking to join a "rocket ship" startup. Obviously, this position presents a significant growth opportunity.

Any applicant who we interview will receive $25 in free Rinse credit... If you live in San Francisco, give us a try!

Interested? I'd be happy to answer any questions at sam@rinse.com.

Heap (YC W13) - Software Engineer - San Francisco or Remote

https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

=== What's Heap? ===

Heap is taking a new approach to web and iOS analytics: just capture everything. Whereas other analytics tools require you to define events upfront, Heap lets you run instant, retroactive analytics without writing code.

=== The Role ===

Your creativity and intelligence are much more important to us than your experience with our stack. We're eager to meet all types of engineers, regardless of where you live or what tools you use day-to-day.

We’d like to get to know you if:

* You enjoy teaching yourself whatever is necessary to build something.

* You plow through obstacles.

* You’ve written 10,000 lines of code that look really embarrassing in retrospect.

* You’ve written 10,000 lines of good code since then.

* You communicate ideas with clarity and precision.

* You make decisions with a preference for empiricism and measurement.

* You like fruit, sunshine, and bad jokes.

Our stack is Node + Redis + Postgres + Backbone + D3. Some things we're working on:

* Data capture. We’re integrating with more clients and frameworks, including Android, AngularJS, and Backbone.js, all with virtually no performance overhead or integration cost.

* Real-time infrastructure. We support an expressive set of queries that allow our users to slice and dice the data in arbitrary ways. The results need to come back with sub-second latencies and reflect up-to-the-minute data.

* Data visualization. Simple pre-generated graphs just don't cut it. There's an enormous number of ways to organize the data. Existing tools only scratch the surface.

Heap was in Y Combinator’s W13 batch. Soon after, we raised a $2M seed round from Ron Conway, Ram Shriram, Sam Altman, Garry Tan, Alexis Ohanian, Harj Taggar, and others.

We work in SF but are absolutely open to remote engineers. Email us at jobs@heapanalytics.com with reasons as to why you'd make a great fit.
