New Relic - Portland OR/Seattle WA/San Francisco CA (http://newrelic.com/jobs)

We make the best application performance monitoring solution, and deliver the only serious SaaS APM. >40K users can't be wrong. It gives deep visibility in production apps running on Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, and .NET (with more on the way) -- AND provides an open platform with which you can integrate customized plugins to monitor your entire stack (newrelic.com/platform) .

Making it easy for our users, however, is hard work for us. Our answer is to hire top notch people, give them whatever they need, and turn them loose to solve tough problems.

We're looking for a number of technical positions (check out the Jobs page), including engineers with skills in Ruby, Node, Python, C, PHP, .NET (to name a few). H1-Bs and relos welcome.

We also take our company culture seriously -- Best Place to Work and all that, of course. But we also provide an unusual and exciting development environment, one where managers are working to enable developers, not the other way around.

Codified Genomics - Houston TX codifiedgenomics.com

The software you write at Codified will influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We do clinical genomic variant analysis. We take exome sequence data and predict clinical outcome for the variants we observe in patients, which is then used by clinicians to inform diagnosis. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms.

We're growing our software engineering team. At Codified your responsibilities will be wide - you will probably end up touching every piece of software we write, with an emphasis on the user facing applications. We are currently using GWT and MySQL with some scripting in Python. Successful candidates will be productive with Java and comfortable working in a Linux environment.

We have a large number of interesting projects under active development, spanning natural language processing, machine learning, user interface design and of course sequence analysis.

A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the job will require you to learn the basics of the Biology that we're working with.

Preference will be shown to candidates in the Houston area.

Send resumes to codifiedgenomics@gmail.com

Harris + Hoole (http://www.harrisandhoole.co.uk) - London, UK

H+H is hiring a tech all-rounder!

We are a rapidly growing brick-and-mortar coffee shop startup (from 3 to 22 shops in the last year), bringing better coffee to the high street. We also have our sights set on being market leaders in technology and innovation, and have just launched phase 1 of our mobile app (harrisandhoole.co.uk/app).

We are looking for tech hire #2 who will support and improve the day to day systems used in HQ and our shops. Lots of opportunity for process improvement and automation, as well as getting stuck in to web app development (Ruby at the moment, but whatever fits), data design (D3.js dashboarding, server push) and our strategic projects (the mobile app is a preview of things to come).

This is a great place to solve problems and build stuff for a physical business. You can also drink as much coffee as you can handle!

Interested? Drop me a note at hn@harrisandhoole.co.uk

Rap Genius (YC S11) - Brooklyn, NY - http://rapgenius.com - Help us build the Internet Talmud

jobs@rapgenius.com

We're one of the fastest-growing sites on the internet, we get 25MM unique visitors per month, we've raised $15m from Andreesen Horowitz, and yet our tech team is only six people.

Anyone who joins us is going to have the best of both worlds, you'll work on a product that millions love and use while getting the experience of being a part of a small team and helping define the culture.

WHO WE ARE

We're a tiny, quick-shipping team. Each of us makes product decisions and owns whole features. We're close and we all enjoy spending time together. We’re a small team because we’re picky about who joins us. We have one of the hardest technical interviews in NYC but if you make it, you’re going to be on the best team around.

Our house library includes Metaprogramming in Ruby; Godel, Escher, Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid; POODR; and "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?". Loving rap is not a prerequisite for working here, though an appreciation osmoses to everyone after a while.

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING

We started Rap Genius in 2009 to explain the meaning of rap lyrics, but the big vision goes beyond music and touches all of text – whether it's the Bill of Rights (http://news.rapgenius.com/United-states-congress-the-us-cons...), the Bible (http://news.rapgenius.com/God-10-commandments-lyrics), “The Waste Land” (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Ts-eliot-the-waste-land-lyrics), or the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling (http://news.rapgenius.com/The-supreme-court-of-the-united-st...), it's all on Rap Genius (or Poetry Genius, or News Genius, or... you get the idea). One of our favorite recent examples is Junot Diaz's amazing annotations on an excerpt from his own The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (http://poetry.rapgenius.com/Junot-diaz-the-brief-wondrous-li...).

BENEFITS

    * Bomb salary and equity—you won't be taking a pay cut to work here
    * We don't count vacation days
    * Free meals in the office, free unlimited Seamless, free unlimited Fresh Direct
    * Free gym in the building
    * We pay your phone bill and when you join we'll upgrade you to the newest iPhone
    * Laundry and shower in the office
    * Free indoor bike parking
    * Free health, dental, and vision benefits
    * The deluxe computer setup of your choice
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

    * Experienced full-stack Rails engineers
    * Front-end developers with an eye for design
    * iOS devs to help build our upcoming iPhone app
INTERESTED? Hit us up at jobs@rapgenius.com with:

    * Your name and GitHub profile, your Twitter, blog, StackOverflow account, 
      personal website, etc. 
    * A cool side project you built, library you've released, or some code that's 
      impressive
    * Something brief about what you like and dislike about the technologies you've used
    * Your résumé
    * Apply if you live in NYC or are willing to relocate. Our office is in 
      Williamsburg, and it's awesome.

YoDerm (www.yoderm.com). VP Engineering / CTO. Santa Monica, CA.

We are YC '11 rejects, but that didn't stop us from building one of the only functioning telemedicine platforms in existence. We launched in May and now have real physicians treating real patients every day. We've also used the past year to raise an angel round and line up some incredible business development partnerships.

And now we're ready for our technical co-founder to come aboard and prepare YoDerm's infrastructure for scale. We want a full-time partner to dive in to our Django/Python stack, own the engineering roadmap, and set sail for a new world of online medicine -- and clearer skin.

Cloudbill - http://beta.cloudbill.com - Santa Monica, CA

We're a super early stage venture backed startup in Santa Monica looking to change the way bills are paid an managed.

Right now paying bills just sucks, even if you're one of the few Americans who has everything on Auto pay what happens when your credit card expires? Or your wallet gets stolen.

What's worse than that is that our competitors are pushing users towards paying with options that are cheaper for the bill providers! We believe you should be able to pay ANY bill with any method you choose.

So we're making it dead simple to put your mortgage on your credit card and get Amex points for that, your kids' preschool and anything else that you regularly pay.

On top of that we're alerting users to fraudulent charges by scanning every line item of all your bills for anomalies and alerting our users to them.

It's a tough challenge, banks and bill providers don't have API's and in the last three months we've built the technology to be a more full featured version of Yodlee or Intuit's partner program all in house, so our overhead is low, our hopes are high and we're looking for some great people to make paying bills suck so much less.

We're hiring for:

Backend Engineer: Coffeescript and Ruby - We've built two seperate applications. One uses almost entirely coffeescript the other is a rails application

Designer/Frontend: You should be able to at least understand enough haml/erb to implement features in the frontend without hand holding

If you're interested get in touch at jobs [at] cloudbill.com
