Seattle, WA - ExtraHop Networks - Software Engineers, Testing Engineers, Support Engineers, Sales Engineers, and more.

ExtraHop is a ~4 year old, fast growing startup building network appliances for application analysis. Think HTTP/DB/memcache/NAS/etc processing times for all the servers in a datacenter, all by passively watching the network.

I'm a software engineer at ExtraHop and here's why I love my job:

1. The team is amazing and everyone makes a difference. The two founders, Jesse and Raja, designed and built BigIP v9 when they were at F5 Networks before founding ExtraHop, and are still very much involved in engineering. It's a great working environment and we have a lot of fun.

2. Hard problems at all levels. We parse a bunch of different protocols at 10Gbps by writing high-performance multithreaded C and our own linux kernel drivers. Our datastore handles 200,000 inserts a second with 10MB/s of data. Our UI has a ton of charts and tables, with data going through django and tornado. We use python, C, javascript, flex (slowly moving to a new UI with html5 + javascript), and a modified yacc+bison for some of our protocol parsers. You can hack anything from C to the front-end design and anywhere in between.

3. Our customers love it. It's awesome to see problems diagnosed and solved with our box.

San Francisco, CA | H1B ok

Sift Science uses machine learning to predict user behavior. To start with, we're predicting whether a user about to use a stolen credit card on a web site. There's $4B in credit card fraud per year, and it literally drives online merchants out of business. We're helping our customers take a stand, building a machine learning and data visualization system to detect the bad guys before they strike.

We have a strong team of six engineers, including five ex-Googlers and two ex-CTOs. We recently raised an angel round from top investors and we'd love to bring on:

  * Amazing engineers with expertise in machine learning, data visualization, NLP, and/or scaling distributed systems.

  * An awesome product designer with expertise in data visualization

If that sounds exciting, shoot us a resume at jobs@siftscience.com!

San Francisco, CA - Blurb

Blurb lets people tell their stories - currently through print-on-demand books, but increasingly through other venues.

We are both established and growing like mad (we were #47 on last year's Inc 500). We have a great group of people and a lot of fun challenges in the year ahead. We just launched a bevy of new products (our iPhone app is getting great reviews).

We play with fun tech: Ruby, Rails, ember.js, git, RSpec, Cucumber, Haml, SASS, RabbitMQ, Puppet, Obj-C, and more. We have great benefits, a great work/life balance, and we're in a great location close to the BART, CalTrain, and lots of food options.

We are currently hiring for many positions - front end, back end, QA and more - at all levels.

San Francisco, CA (Mission District) - awe.sm

We're looking for front-end, back-end, and full-stack engineers. (H1B okay)

We're building conversion tracking for social media -- "SendGrid for sharing", if you like.

Most sites and apps are currently doing a really poor job of measuring where social traffic comes from, and how valuable it is in terms of page views, signups and sales. We save people from reinventing the wheel by providing a set of APIs to integrate into their application that make it easy to generate shares and track the performance of different networks and campaigns. The APIs are written in Ruby and PHP right now, sitting on top of a mixture of MySQL and Redis, but we are pretty language-agnostic and pick the right tool for the job. The back-end challenges are all about taking lots of data and processing it scalably, as fast as possible.

We also have a GUI, a modern Javascript single-page app written using Backbone that sits on top of our APIs. It's all about allowing custmers to explore their data and find what's important.

http://totally.awe.sm/jobs

We're currently 13 people, with a goal of 14-16, of which 8 will be engineers. We have a great location in an awesome neighbourhood with an amazing view ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) and have catered lunches, full health, vision and dental coverage.

We use an internal IRC server for team communication. If that makes you say "yay!" then you will definitely fit in.
