At Blendle (Utrecht, Netherlands) we're looking for Backend Developers, Front-end Developers, Operations people.

We build a paywall, a conversion tool and front-ends that result effectively in a portal that offers Pay-Per-Newspaper-Article. Currently we have almost 150.000 active accounts in the Netherlands alone. You can find a better explanation here: https://launch.blendle.nl/ and the actual product is here: https://blendle.com.

We use ruby, node, redis, elasticsearch, postgresql, ansible, sinatra, and more ruby. There's also some PHP that we'd love to see ported to Ruby.

Unfortunately, all the jobs postings are in Dutch. They can be found here: http://jobs.blendle.nl.

(Personally, I'd love to have some different nationalities working at Blendle, but for the time being Dutch is the main language in all communications. )

————— underdog.io ——— Soho, NYC ——— https://www.underdog.io —————

We’re (https://www.underdog.io) looking to make our first hire, a Lead Software Engineer, in New York City.

Today, we're a curated two-sided marketplace for talent. We help growing startups hire amazing people across all verticals at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting firms. We started underdog.io because we experienced the pain of hiring first-hand, having worked at top-notch startups in NYC.

We're currently live in NYC, but we've had serious requests to open in 10 other cities. While the plan is to scale the recruiting piece quickly, the bigger vision is not as focused on recruiting. We're moving towards building a defensible network between companies.

In the interest of full transparency, it's a big job with lots of positives and negatives.

The Good:

• Traction (https://medium.com/@joshuagoldstein/our-first-four-months-bu...) after a few months.

• Proven business model - we're making significant money every month. In fact, we're making enough to pay market rate, and we haven't raised money yet.

• Chance to get common stock in a bootstrapped startup = big upside.

• Full technical autonomy. We've built our internal CMS and tools with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, etc. but you're in charge of choosing the technologies going forward.

• Work out of Founder Collective's space in SoHo.

• Work with great freelance designers and advisors.

The Bad:

• Less structure and certainty than a funded startup.

• Only full-time developer until we build an engineering team.

Email chris@underdog.io to apply.

Sorry, we can't sponsor visa candidates and we're not looking to hire development shops.

Keywords: Happy New Year :), New York, NYC, Developer, Dev, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, https://www.underdog.io/

At Periscope (San Francisco, USA), we make really fast charts and dashboards.

We're constantly making the SQL faster and the charting more powerful. You'll be working on the full stack: from the Go and Java servers managing giant database clusters to the Rails and CoffeeScript frontends.

* In your first day you'll ship new code to production.

* In your first week you'll ship at least one customer-facing feature.

* In your first month you'll write code at every level of the stack, from cache backends to web servers to UI code.

* In your first 6 months you'll rebuild a major piece of the Periscope stack to support our ever-increasing scale.

Full-stack Software Engineer - Easel TV - local in Central London, UK

Easel TV's philosophy is that the television is special; it's not just another device that's now available with a web browser, it has a unique context in our homes. We seek to exploit that special role by delivering a relevant and potentially personalised televisual experience from our cloud-based software-as-a-service platform, Suggested TV. Whilst we use web technologies, the user experience that we deliver is more like a TV channel than a web site or a mobile app. We provide our clients with editorial tools to allow them to control the user experience and powerful analytics to help guide those choices.

We have been around for over 5 years now however it still feels a lot like a start-up (and in many ways it is). From a technical point of view, there's a big roadmap of exciting and challenging work ahead of us.

Our tech: - Scala, Play Framework 2, Java, Spring MVC, EmberJS - Neo4J, SQL Databases - Git, BitBucket, Jira, HipChat, Jenkins - Cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure

Skills & Requirements: - You have solid Java skills and some functional programming experience, preferably with Scala. - You are a great web developer. - You are familiar with agile development and continuous deployment methodologies. - You have experience and the scars to prove it. - You are a great team player. - You always feel responsible and want to deliver the best you can.

If this sounds interesting, please contact me at recruit@easeltv.com

-= MATASANO SECURITY =- Chicago. New York City. Sunnyvale. Application Security Consultant

Full-Time or Internship, work visa sponsorship available.

The start of a new year is a time many people become a bit introspective and reflect on their lives and careers. Those of us who enjoy what we do, and find satisfaction in our work take account of our accomplishments and achievements in the past year. Others may be less satisfied with their current position, and resolve to improve it. If you find yourself in the latter camp, my advice is to find a job for which you are passionate, motivated, and talented. Find your muse; something which engages your heart and mind, and gives you a sense a fulfillment.

For those of us at Matasano Security, this sense of pride and accomplishment comes from assessing the security of application software. We find few things as inately satisfying as discovering ways to abuse application logic and bend it to our will. Better yet is the satisfaction that comes with knowing our clients can now use our information to secure their applications and protect their clients. It takes meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to think outside the box and consider cases the application's own developers didn't. Application Security can be both an intriguing mental puzzle, and an extreme adrenaline rush in a way few disciplines of computing are.

In the coming weeks, gyms will fill up with new members intent on exercising their bodies. Me? I'll continue soldiering on, breaking and helping fix software, exercising my heart and mind. If you'd like to join me, check out matasano.com/careers and contact us at careers@matasano.com.
