BuzzStream (http://buzzstream.com) –Austin, TX, will consider remote for the right person

WHO WE ARE: We’re a small SaaS company based in downtown Austin that’s growing fast and that’s built a product that our customers love (http://storify.com/paulmay/buzzstream-twitter-props) We have over a thousand paying customers, our annual revenue is $1M+ and it’s doubling every year.

WHAT WE DO: BuzzStream helps marketers find and build relationships with influencers to drive traffic and build brands. Our customers include some of the most well-known brands in the world and many, many digital agencies.

We’ve just scratched the surface of the things we can do to help our customers, and we think we can grow at a much faster rate if we keep delivering on our roadmap. We need your help getting there.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We’re looking for mid to senior level software engineers, but we’re much less concerned about the specific level of experience than we are in finding people with the right attitude, ability to learn, and approach to solving problems. Part of our team works remotely, and we’re open to remote work for this position for the right person.

Our app is written in Java, deployed on Amazon’s cloud and utilizes several open source dependencies. Expert knowledge of Java and Linux are required. Experience with AWS and modern javascript technologies is a plus.

BuzzStream may be a good fit for you if...

* You want to work at a place where virtually everything you work on impacts the business and you know exactly how everything you build helps the customer.

* You don’t want to be pigeon-holed as “the guy/girl who works on the [XYZ] part of the product.” You’ll be working on every part of the product and you’ll constantly be learning.

* It’s really important to you to work on a team where every person cares deeply about building great software that solves real problems. You have no use for bureaucracy, pointless meetings, or team members that provide limited value but succeed as a result of fake hustle and strong political skills.

* You really want to learn what it takes to build a startup, but you’d rather not learn through the “I learned what not to do” method. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, but we’re past the stage of trying to figure out how to build a successful business.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, I’d love to hear from you. Please send me a resume, along with a note telling me a bit about yourself and why you’re interested in BuzzStream. You can reach me (Paul May, co-founder) at careers@buzzstream.com.

NGP VAN (https://coderwall.com/team/ngp-van) is the world’s leading political technology firm, providing campaign and organizing technology to Democrats, progressives, and non-partisan organizations. We offer an integrated platform that combines the best fundraising, compliance, organizing, and new media products available.

We are a rapidly growing company that built the voter contact and volunteer management tools used by Obama for America. Nearly every State Democratic Party in the country distributes our VoteBuilder tools to Democrats up and down the ticket, and we provide industry-leading organizing tools for labor unions, environmental groups, pro-choice advocates, civil rights activists, and international political parties across the world. Our fundraising and compliance software is used by the vast majority of Democratic candidates from the Presidential level on down, and our fast-growing new media platform has recently become the most-used platform by Democratic campaigns as well.

We have a couple of positions open in DC for experienced developers - our stack is mostly ASP.NET MVC / EF, but we have several node apps and are also using angular pretty heavily in new development.

The position offers competitive compensation and a strong benefits package. NGP VAN prides itself on being a progressive and open-minded workplace; we have a fun and relaxed company culture, including blowing off steam on a softball field, drinking in the office on Fridays, enjoying periodic company retreats to warm places with beaches, and casual Friday every day.

Boston - Formlabs

Developing good 3D printing software is hard. Sometimes NP hard. This can mean attacking the legendary salesman problem, the trunk packing problem, orientation and structure optimization problems, as well as mesh topological characterization and reconstruction. It’s no wonder that 3D printing software solutions are found lacking. At Formlabs, we are confronting these challenges head on to make 3D printing as easy as 2D printing. If you are a full stack developer up to these and other challenges in desktop software development, we want you on the Form Team.
