San Francisco, CA; Boston, MA - Fitbit, Inc. Fitbit is a consumer product and web 2.0 company dedicated to helping millions of consumers reach their health and fitness goals one step, one mile, and one Astronaut badge at a time. We are building revolutionary connected devices and software tools to measure progress and motivate people to do more every day. Boston Software Engineers: http://jobvite.com/m?35Rglgwi San F…

Soon-to-be computer engineer here. If I applied for both software and hardware stuff would I be interviewed by the same people? In that case could I just apply once? Because there are lots of things I'd love to do for you guys.

Apply to either position and mention that you're also interested in the other. A recruiter told me that's the best way to handle applicants interested in multiple positions.

I'm in the Boston office where we only do software, so I'm not sure about the interview process if you also do hardware. I would think it would be different interviewers.

Cambridge/Boston - Luminoso - http://luminoso.com

Luminoso is a growing team of 20, looking to attract a back-end developer to help us attack the problems of natural language processing on a large scale.

Our company emerged from research at the MIT Media Lab about representing common sense knowledge in a way that can be aligned with natural-language text. This research produced ConceptNet, the open-source knowledge base that underlies our work at Luminoso.

Our NLP technology is being used by some high-profile customers and is in demand by even more. As we work with ever increasing amounts of data, we particularly need someone with the expertise to design the right ways to handle all that data with high availability, whether the data arrives in batches or in live streams.

We develop our stack on Linux using Python. Experience with any of the following is a bonus: NLTK, NumPy/SciPy, PyTables, scikit-learn, Python 3, Redis, and Riak.

===================

This position will become a member of a nine-person development team, working closely with the front-end developers and the operations team. We particularly seek individuals with sharp and tenacious troubleshooting capability. Strong communication skills and willingness to take initiative are also desired. Luminoso is an equal opportunity employer, and an excellent place to work.

To apply, send your resume to hiring@luminoso.com.

Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

Thanks; tip for next month (to head off some of the questions):

Kumu Networks - Santa Clara, CA - http://kumunetworks.com/

Kumu Networks is revolutionizing the way wireless systems are built using an innovative full-duplex wireless design that its founders developed as a research project at Stanford. Wireless full-duplex allows a radio to transmit and receive signals at the same time using a single frequency channel. Kumu's patent pending full-duplex technology changes the basic assumptions on which current wireless radios are built, allowing for improved performance and reduced complexity across a variety of wireless devices and markets.

We're looking for well-rounded systems programmers with an embedded systems, C, Linux, and networking background. Fluency in Python and Git workflows are big pluses. In addition, we're looking for software engineers with a background in cellular stacks, and algorithms scientists with a background in optimization.

This is a well-funded technology startup with a small team, a highly cross-disciplinary environment (algorithms, mixed-signal, RF, digital hardware, and FPGA engineers), and a very concrete mission!
