Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (remote possible)

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Millions of people in all walks of life use our free educational platform to learn (check out some testimonials at https://www.khanacademy.org/stories). Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises.

A few things we're currently working on building right now:

– Major improvements to our mobile offerings to let students practice skills on the go [1]

– Improved knowledge models so we can better know what you know and don't know [2]

– Infrastructure improvements to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]

==================================

We're especially looking for mobile and ops engineers, but we have a handful of other positions open. Unfortunately, we've filled up our slots for this coming summer internship, but we'd happily talk to intern candidates for future terms.

Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers - feel free to ask me here if you have questions about applying or about KA in general.

Codility (https://codility.com/about/), Warsaw, Poland

We're currently looking for experienced software engineers for a full-time position in Warsaw.

Our product is a coding test engine. We're helping companies recruit by providing simple, impartial assessment of programming skills at an initial stage of the process. Currently this means basic algorithmics (e.g. "write a function that does this and this, and figure out how to do it in linear time"), but we're also experimenting with other types of programming tasks.

We're still a small company (less than 30 people) with lots of ideas on what to build next. I've been here for two years now as a programmer, and I really enjoyed seeing how far we have come and how much we have been able to learn.

Our development team has seven software engineers and two sysadmins. We have a continuous integration cycle, code reviews and some pair programming. The technology stack includes Python, Django, Postgres, Celery and Chef.

See the full job ad for more details: https://codility.com/jobs/?gh_jid=32596#job. You can also contact me by e-mail (pawel@codility.com).

Main Street Hub // Austin, TX // email: brandon.beck@mainstreethub.com

We are looking for a few experienced software engineers to join our small but growing R&D team in downtown Austin. Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities. We’re a really small team (currently 11 people) so you’ll have plenty of say around how we develop software going forward.

We are currently in the process of modernizing our software platform to be more modular and truly data driven. Our goal is to use data to make sure that we provide the right content to the right consumer at the right time. We’re building our internal API using REST based services implemented in Java, and while our front end is currently implemented in PHP, we are migrating away from that. Some of the technologies that we’re using: Dropwizard, Swagger, Flyway, AngularJS, Bootstrap, CloudFormation, Troposphere, and Ansible. All new engineers get company provided downtown parking, flexible work hours, 100% of their health insurance premiums paid for by the company, the ability to build their own work computer, and access to our kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks. We’re looking for individuals only so please NO RECRUITERS OR AGENCIES (seriously, your emails will just go into the trash folder). In addition we’re looking for full-time employees who are already in Austin, TX or willing to relocate.

Founded in 2010, Main Street Hub is the CRM for Local. We offer an integrated social, web, and email marketing solution designed to help merchants get more customers and keep them coming back by spreading word of mouth, extending their customer service, managing their online reputation, and leveraging the Main Street Hub’s merchant network. Main Street Hub was recently named #73 on the Inc. 500 list (http://www.inc.com/profile/main-street-hub) of America’s fastest growing companies and the 2nd fastest growing company in Austin.

Typeform - Barcelona, Spain (full time positions on site)

We are a startup located in sunny Barcelona, looking for more people to expand our wonderful team. We are looking for people filling multiple positions, some of them are backend/frontend developers, content managers, videographers and QA engineers.

We are working on making forms easy and enjoyable to fill out. We already got what we need to grow the team, now we just need the right people.

You can see at a glance on what we are working on from our website but don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions. See it here: http://www.typeform.com/

Some of the things we are working on this very moment:

* Taking existing parts out of the system to be able to scale them independently

* Making the infrastructure more fault tolerant

Watsi - San Francisco - Design Lead

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

Watsi (https://watsi.org/) is a global crowdfunding platform that enables anyone to directly fund healthcare for people around the world.

We’re a team of developers, doctors, and marketers building Watsi because we believe that everyone deserves healthcare. We’re not afraid of failure, we’re humble, and we say “yes” as often as we can. Most important, we come to work every day excited about creating an organization that matters more than we do.

We’re looking for a design lead to join our six-person team in San Francisco. The ideal candidate is an experienced generalist who’s confident owning all aspects of design at Watsi, from UI/UX to visual design to branding. We’re a collaborative team and we’re looking for someone who enjoys working closely with engineers to implement their designs.

If you’re interested in learning more, please send your portfolio to jobs@watsi.org.

P.S. you can learn more about Watsi by checking out this blog post from our recent trip to East Africa: http://exposure.watsi.org/a-dose-of-perspective
