Dropcam, San Francisco, CA. Full-time and intern (onsite only). https://www.dropcam.com/jobs

Dropcam's cloud service accepts more incoming video per minute than YouTube. We make a Wi-Fi camera and cloud service that allows users to monitor their home or small business from anywhere in the world using apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac.

We have some of the most challenging software engineering problems in the world, e.g.:

  * streaming low-latency, live video over consumer wifi networks
  * storing up to 30 days of video per camera
  * analyzing video for significant events (computer vision)
  * refining a user experience that "just works" whether you are sharing babies'
    first steps or catching a burglar (or monitoring your pets, keeping an eye on
    your small business, providing in home medical care...)
Here's just a couple of the articles written about us this year:

http://allthingsd.com/20121227/the-story-of-dropcam-a-little...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/11/nyregion/an-improvised-tra...

We are hiring software engineers and product managers (both software and hardware). Dropcam is an amazing place to work. Why? Here are just a few reasons:

  * Spend more time working on the product vs being in meetings.
  * Every employee can access our sales dashboard so you know how the company is 
    doing/growing. (5x annual revenue growth in 2012)
  * We bring in catered lunch every day but not dinner, so you don't feel bad going 
    home to recharge.
  * Like big data? We measure it in Petabytes, not Terabytes (unlike your average
    "web scale" startup :)
  * I personally fly employees on helicopter tours of the San Francisco Bay (you 
    can even bring friends). It's a lot of fun!
What more would you like to know? Drop me an email at my first name @ dropcam.com or apply at https://www.dropcam.com/jobs

LaterPay - Munich, Germany - remote and relocation help possible

Django Developer, Python Developer

LaterPay is a startup looking to change the way we pay for content online. The idea is micropayments, but the twist is that you pay after you accumulate €5, rather than paying into a 'wallet' up front.

We have a couple of positions open for python developers, and as we are still very small, those positions have a lot of scope for responsibility and choosing your own focus. We have a lot of Django work, so there's also a possibility to join as a Django specialist, especially if you also grok HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Other technologies we use include Tornado, Cassandra, Redis, and our code lives on github. Experience with these is a bonus but not necessary!

If you are interested, drop us an email with a resume and some code to look at - jobs@laterpay.net
