South Lake Tahoe (Zephyr Cove, NV)

Informa Investment Solutions, Inc. is seeking both a senior and a junior developer to join our web applications team at our office on the shores of Lake Tahoe. If you love designing and building modern, responsive web applications that make it easy for business users to run sophisticated investment analysis software, we would like to talk to you. We’re an established company with actual paying customers and we want to make our little corner of the world a better place for our users.

We use standards-based HTML, JavaScript and CSS, along with state of the art technologies – Canvas, SVG, RequireJS, Backbone, Marionette, and LESS – to build cross-browser interfaces and advanced data visualizations. The backend is a mixture of C#, Java, C++ because we believe in using the right tool for the job, and we are regularly evaluating our tools to ensure that. Our development process is agile and we release our web products approximately once a month.

Our offices are a five minute walk from the Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe and Heavenly ski resort is a fifteen minute drive from the office. As a developer you’ll also get your own private office and even though we mostly develop on Windows, all our developers have Mac hardware. We prefer to hire generalists who are as curious and excited about technology as we are. All of us enjoy learning new technologies and tools; we have a small team and each developer should be able to work on every aspect of the system.

To get a feel for one of our software products, please visit zephyrondemand.com and click Try Zephyr Analytics.

Please note: these are full-time positions in our Zephyr Cove office. We do permit senior developers (5+ yrs. relevant experience) to work remotely, but total travel time to the Zephyr office can be no longer than 3 hours. If you're interested, please email matt.motherway -at- informais.com (and put “Hacker News” in the subject). Thank you.

VERBA - San Francisco, CA

http://verbasoftware.com/

jobs@verbasoftware.com

* Rails/JS Product Focus - FULL-TIME or HALF-TIME with benefits [work on your side projects!]

Verba thinks that college should be more affordable, so we help bookstores get books faster, cheaper, and sell them competitively.

We guide every stage of a used book's life. We help students save money, and bookstores become and stay relevant, competitive, and transparent.

Numbers: 450+ colleges and universities (and more beating down our door), tracking ~200k unique ISBNs, serving millions of students ("rush" season, when students are buying, means 100 requests/s), raising the "win rate" for bookstores to 80%, and dropping prices across the board. 19 employees, 3 part-time. 2 dogs. 5 cats. 3 children.

Code: Ruby, Rails, JS, Clojure and Impala for Hadoop/EMR, MySQL on AWS w/ Chef. We love experiments and go with what works! We also love making a stable, solid product which is why we have a ton of tests, metrics and a one-click build pipeline.

What's in it for you: A great team and company culture, benefits (even for part time!), laptop, books, BART pass, pool table, somewhat healthy office snacks, great conversation during our yearly company work-cations (http://verbasoftware.com/vacay), and hard, challenging, fulfilling work.

Message us if: You want to help make education better. You've got strong Rails knowledge, solid testing practices, a good head for architecture, and know enough JS to help out on front-end. We prefer slope over y-intercept.

How to get the job: Write a cover letter to jobs@verbasoftware.com that speaks to why this job might fit with you, and how you could help us out. The first step is a phone screen to solve a small programming problem. Then we'll schedule an on-site interview for a few hours, and have you walk through some of our code with us. Also we'll ask you some historical behavior questions, not logic puzzles. Then we'll make you an offer, and you'll accept and we have a new employee party!
