Are you at all considering hiring interns for the upcoming summer?
We've pondered this a lot and have decided this Summer will be a little early for us to be set up for internship positions. I'm hoping we might do it next Summer!
We use Rails and MySQL and practice developer testing and pair programing.

Primarily looking for interns - possible remote, but Chattanooga is awesome, so you should come hang out here.
We are a digital experience and branding company. All of our work is done on a project-to-project basis, primarily in the form of consulting for clients.
Looking mostly for those with a bit of PHP and/or Rails experience, and some HTML/CSS/JS knowledge. But internships are built for learning, so if you're shaky on these, that's okay! We love teaching and mentoring.
Internships at Whiteboard are always paid. We look for people who fit both culture and business needs, and who are highly motivated and teachable.

Buffer ( http://bufferapp.com ) Hey everyone, hope your weekend is off to a killer start!

We’re building a collaboration and workflow tool for the commercial real estate (CRE) industry -- "Trello, but for CRE". Our first product targets commercial leasing teams, who run a highly mobile and collaborative workflow using tools like paper (!) and 90s-era desktop productivity software (yes, I'm looking at you, Excel).
Our founding team is Brandon Weber, a HCI graduate from CMU and former commercial real estate broker, me - Niall Smart, founder of YC W09 company Echodio (sold to RealNetworks) and Donald DeSantis, founder at LIFFFT, Giant Thinkwell, and an early Redfin employee. We’re backed by top-tier investors in enterprise tech and CRE, including Thrive Capital (42Floors, Honest Buildings, Urban Compass), BVP (Box, Intercom, Clearside), Aaron Levie, Lee Linden, David Tisch and Gary Vaynerhuck [1]
If reimagining the technology toolset used by an entire industry is the kind of thing that floats your boat, come talk to us – we're still a small team, and you can have a huge impact. We’re currently hiring full stack web developers who have a solid portfolio of building product at startups. Our stack is Rails + AngularJS + iOS. Knowledge of CRE is not a pre-requisite.
Drop me a line to learn more – niall.smart (at) gethightower.com.
Cheers,
Niall

Academia.edu is trying to improve the way that scientific publishing works. Here is the current way it works. A scientist does some experiments and writes up a paper. He sends it to a journal who sends it out to two or three peer reviewers. They peer review it, which means writing a page of comments on it, and recommending either accepting or rejecting it. Usually you get a few journal rejections and the average time-lag between finishing the paper and its being published is 12 months. Then the paper is behind a paywall and people have to pay $35 to read it.
Our view of scientific publishing is that when you finish the paper you should post it immediately on the internet. Peer review should be done post-publication, and it should be done by the community, Reddit-style, not by just two or three people. We believe peer review will be more robust that way. And the paper should be openly and freely accessible for anyone to read, along with the data and any accompanying materials like source code.
We believe that this will speed up science, and accelerate research into curing diseases, reducing infant mortality, and discovering clean energy amongst other things.
We are a mission-driven team based in San Francisco. We have raised $17 million from Khosla ventures and Spark Capital. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."
Over 7 million academics have joined Academia.edu, and 800k plus join up each month. If you are a mission-driven person then you may enjoy the atmosphere at Academia.edu and the problems we are working on.
We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, Mongo and Varnish. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

Intrans
Ruby Engineer
The last 50 years have seen the reinvention of almost every major industry except for one: Trucking. Intrans is here to change that. We've deployed the world's first mobile platform for on-demand freight shipping.
Over 30 billion dollars a month is spent on trucking freight around the US. Without trucks, the country would grind to a halt overnight. In such a massive market, it's hard to believe that the entire industry still runs on landlines and fax machines. We are changing that by using location-based technology to automatically match supply and demand. We're a team of 10 and have been around for over two years. We're growing quickly and looking for a Ruby engineer to join us.
If you're ready to be part of this industrial transformation, send your resume and GitHub profile to sean@intrans.com.
Healthcare.gov I'm part of a small team that's been working on healthcare.gov for the last few months alongside a bunch of other Google, Facebook, and Y Combinator alums. We'll always remember what Mikey told us in December, after the site was back up, could handle a non-trivial amount of traffic, and people who wanted health insurance could finally get it: "1 in 1000 uninsured people die each year. It's not an exagg…
