I lead the software team at Blue Origin, come check us out. We're right outside Seattle. https://www.blueorigin.com

Any C++ positions without US citizenship requirement?

We are hiring C++ folks, but applicants for any position (not just software) must be a US Citizen or permanent resident alien.

(Disclaimer: I work at Dato.) Dato is a venture-funded startup in Fremont (right by the canal, down the street from Google). We are on a mission to make the power of machine learning accessible to the masses, with a great team and an exciting opportunity ahead of us. We maintain and contribute to open source projects. Personally, I think it's really exciting and I am passionate about it. https://dato.com/company/care…

Dato was actually one of the companies I had already applied for! Definitely looks cool. Hoping to hear back from your team next week.

I would checkout http://www.ivysoftworks.com/ . The CEO of this company was the CTO of a company I worked for. Extremely developer friendly, great visionary etc.

Thanks for pointing me in their direction! Their office is actually right next to mine. I always walk by and wonder what they do.

Climate ( http://www.climate.com/ ) has a great office in Seattle. I haven't been, (I'm in the SF office) but I hear the culture is excellent. Contact me: skhalsa@climate.com and I can refer you to the right team.

are you taking interns? I'm a grad student in Canada.

Checkout Intentional Software. It's a startup of about 70 people funded and led by billionaire CTO Charles Simonyi. They built a platform for developing domain-specific languages (on top of the CLR), and are now developing some pretty incredible collaborative productivity apps on top of that platform. Their recruiting slogan is "this is why you chose computer science," and after interning there for 6 months I can say…

The benefits look lower than that of MS's, at least for the internship. Is the data on http://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Intentional-Software-Salarie... not accurate?
