Kennett Square, PA :: Chatham Financial :: recruiting _at_ chathamfinancial _dot_ com

Who do we want?

- We want to hire full-time people passionate about software development and testing; who care about building and maintaining top-notch infrastructure, services, and UIs.

- If you're not already well-versed with the tools we use, no worries! We hire people, not 'X years in Y language/technology'

What do we do?

- The domain happens to be the financial industry (namely mitigating Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange risk). It's a casual work environment, and we work with the advisory side of the business as our primary 'customers' (they are experts in the area of finance we serve).

- Check out http://www.chathamfinancial.com for more info on the business side of things.

How do we do it?

- Web and service development: the language we typically use is C#, but we always seek to choose the right tool for the job.

- Testing: we have a large automated test suite in BPT, and are developing an in-house services testing framework in Ruby (which will likely be open sourced)

- Other languages/technologies that we utilize are: Rabbit MQ, Node.js, AWS

- We continuously integrate using TeamCity, focus on agile and lean developement practices (scrum), and deploy all of our software to production every 2 weeks. Check out http://intruthitsnotthatsimple.wordpress.com/ for one of our Product Owner's perspectives on things

Other misc. info

- Every 3 months we have a Hack Week. It's a week to work on ideas that we wouldn't normally have time for in the 'daily grind'. These can be anything from trying out a new language or technology to refactoring existing stuff. You choose!

- Very family friendly

- Philosophy-driven, not policy-driven (let's get paid to work together and solve problems, and have fun all the while!)

Anywhere.

REMOTE; FULLTIME; H1B, E3, etc. are all possible! SSC Group LLC is hiring a developer with Rails experience.

====>

We run adult entertainment websites. Our company is profitable and growing. Some things we use every day and love: Linux, Git, GitHub, Vim, nginx, Varnish, Unicorn, Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Javascript/CoffeeScript, and probably others. Experience with high-traffic web sites and TDD/BDD are pluses.

====>

* We allow full time telecommuting. * We work normal hours. * * We pay for coworking/office space if you want it. * We have offices in Los Angeles if you want to work on-site. * We allow our developers to contribute to open source. * We get to pick our tools and technologies on new projects. * We take you to RailsConf if you want to go. * We pay competitively. * Our company owners are technical and understand how development works (refreshing!) * We have a Hubot in our Campfire.

====>

You should be fluent with Rails and know your way around a Linux server. You should also be comfortable working with adult material.

* This role will work closely with our product manager in the EDT (UTC+10) time zone. We would prefer that you start work around 12-1pm PST. It works out even better if you are already live in Australia.

If you're interested, we want to hear from you! Drop us a line and show us one of your projects, a GitHub/StackOverflow profile, or anything else you're proud of.

New York City - Appboy

We're a B2B mobile engagement and analytics platform based in NYC. In a nutshell, we build tools that allow app owners to segment, understand, and communicate with their users without having to build a sophisticated system in-house. We're currently a team of 15 (which is as laid back and enjoyable as you'd expect), and have a fun and exciting work environment.

We're looking for a broad scope software developer to help build our SDK backend and developer web dashboard. We're tackling a variety of cutting-edge problems, from efficiently delivering real-time analytics for millions of transactions to designing blazing fast, ultra-responsive web applications. We use a diverse technology stack rooted in Rails, Coffeescript and MongoDB, but we're always open to incorporating new technologies. Experience with specific technologies is not a requirement.

Mobile experience is also a plus, and we're also hiring mobile engineers (both Android and iOS).

Please email jobs [at] appboy.com with your resume / Github profile / etc. (I'm the guy that will read your email, this isn't a faceless corporate resume drop). We don't care about flowery cover letters, but mentioning that you saw this post is a plus. Look forward to hearing from you!

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be able and willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for a DevOps and Front-end engineer: http://jobs.silkapp.com/

We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end. The team is still small (~11 people), so you'll be able to make a large impact. We are well-funded by top-tier VCs and located in the city center of Amsterdam.
