Kira Talent (https://www.kiratalent.com) - Toronto, Canada

At Kira Talent, we help employers spot top talent earlier in the hiring process through timed video interviews.

A bit about us:

  * we’re a small team (you’d be #13), based in the heart of downtown Toronto

  * we’re well funded (we just raised a $2M seed round) and have had paying clients since day 1 of the company 

  * we’re hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, analytics 

  * we think even enterprise software can be beautiful, and pride ourselves on our design 

  * every single one of our developers have committed code within their first day at work; some within their first hour

Here’s some stuff we’ve been working on lately:

  * building infrastructure to allow us to scale our video recording and streaming

  * re-building the UI-heavy sections of our product using AngularJS

  * designing and creating our mobile suite for both job candidates and employers alike 

  * presenting analytics data captured in our product to the end user, and our team internally

We use Python/Django, JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS), ActionScript, MySQL (and some MongoDB), but you’d be free to choose your own tools and libraries. If this sounds fun, let’s chat! My name is Konrad, and you can send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com. :)

Intercom (https://www.intercom.io/).

Intercom helps internet businesses communicate with their customers. Our mission is to make web business personal. We believe that the future of customer communication requires not increasingly complex, impersonal point solutions, but rather a simple, seamless platform that feels a lot more like Facebook than Salesforce. People love the product:

https://twitter.com/intercom/favorites

The company is just over 2 years old. It has raised $7.75MM to-date from Social+Capital Partnership—their LPs include Facebook, Reid Hoffman, Sean Parker, Peter Thiel. Managing partner Mamoon Hamid was on the board of and early investor in Box and Yammer. The team is currently 36, comprising people from Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Yammer, PayPal.

Intercom is installed in thousands of web products and is connected with many millions of end-users. The company has been experiencing double-digit monthly revenue growth from the start.

We've turned down four acquisition offers to date—the founders intend to make this a uniquely impactful, long-lasting tech company. We intend to fundamentally change how internet businesses and their customers interact.

CircleCI (https://circleci.com/jobs) - SF or REMOTE fulltime (in the US)

At CircleCI we're building the next generation of developer automation: amazing Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly, build great things, and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and have as flat a structure as we can.

We're looking for frontend engineers (JS), designers (must be able to HTML+CSS), and backend engineers (Clojure). Being a mix of those is of course welcome! We lean towards senior experienced engineers, or junior engineers who can display great talent.

We're also looking for engineers for sales and marketing positions. Since we have an incredibly technical product, and selling directly to developers, the marketing positions (dev evangelism, CRO, analytics, content, etc - think a patio11-style engineer) require significant development experience. Sales positions are a good fit for engineers looking for a change, esp those who love automating manual processes.

Flipboard (http://flipboard.com) – Palo Alto, CA (and New York, NY), both full-time/permanent and intern positions.

http://jobvite.com/m?3nQZ9gw6

We're building the world's best personal magazine. There are about 90 of us at Flipboard right now, and we're beginning to aggressively scale up. We're exceptionally well funded but still small enough that you'll be able to see the effect you're having from day one.

We're hiring for lots, and lots, and lots of different roles across engineering, sales, design and product; in particular, highly-scaled services, devops, generalist IT, iOS, Android, Web, and data science.

(If you don't see anything here which matches you but you're still interested, feel free to email me: andrew@flipboard.com – especially if you're a data scientist with significant product, natural language processing or SNA chops.)
