Empirical (ex-MIT PhD/Google, VC-backed) - San Francisco (downtown)

- iOS devs (full-time or consulting)

- Android devs (full-time or consulting)

- Scala devs (consulting)

ABOUT US:

We're a small shop funded by Floodgate, Greylock, and a few choice angels with a very chill, design-oriented, and highly skilled team.

Even though we're all ex-MIT and overly educated, we only care about skill set and your passion -- not your resumé.

OUR PRODUCT:

We're building a mobile app that will change how we chat/communicate on mobile phones. The vast majority of the Internet including this message is stuck in a paradigm of writing in blank text boxes. This unstructured methodology for communication is pervasive in everything digital and stems from desktops where keyboards make this plausible. On mobile phones, input sucks whether it's typing or speech recognition. Instead, we recognize that many of the types of things we wish text & email are better "app-ified" or "structured," and in doing so we enables lighter-weight communication across individuals & groups with the ability for the phone to intelligently aid in the situation.

We're launching within the next few months....

Buffer ( http://bufferapp.com ) - REMOTE (We're a small distributed team of 13 people across the US, UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sweden and Australia) I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We just crossed 1 million users and are on a $2m annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead to scale Buffer as we start to focus on Buffer for business. We're looking to expand our engine…

Kudos for posting revenue. Keep up the great work!

ënimai - www.enimai.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, no remote work.

ënimai develops hardware and software that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with computers. ënimai believes technology should be magic.

We are looking for extraordinary programmers. Programmers who, true to the spirit, can work with any programming language to solve the problem at hand. Generalists who can become specialists in any field.

The team has previously built very successful products at Apple, Amazon/Lab126, Google, HP Labs, NASA, OLPC, etc.

If any of the following appeals to you, you would love what we do:

Implement atan2 in fixed point to 12 bits of precision, optimizing for space ? Do you love writing your own operating system? (Yes! we have our own - no it is not linux/freebsd etc) Can you be a one man/woman army to get our entire backend infrastructure running, sustaining ëillion queries per second? Being responsible for every bit of memory you allocate and every CPU cycle you burn? We iterate Hardware at the pace of Software (hence no remote work). You will need to be a master in getting work done even when all the pieces around you are moving.

Yes, we work hard (and smart). We don't want the easy way out. We do it right. The team has stayed overnight at work multiple times, not because we had to, but because we wanted to. We are passionate about what we do. We know this will be our life's work. There is nothing that can deter intense passion. This could be overwhelming and it isn’t for everyone.

You will be rewarded with better than industry pay and equity. However, the biggest reward will not have dollar figures attached to it. It is the feeling you get doing what you do best and making an impact in this world.

"1500+ SAT scores required."

Hope your product has something to do with SAT tests, because otherwise I'd say you "don't have enough work experience" when it comes to understanding talent.

Baltimore, MD; Reston, VA; - Videology - FULL TIME, INTERN (H1B maybe if already in US)

Videology Group - http://www.videologygroup.com/

Internet advertising startup looking primarily for server-side Java developers (if your Java is rusty but you're good, drop us a note anyway). I was working for a start-up called LucidMedia Networks (hence the "lmn" in the e-mail address below), which got acquired by Videology. The Baltimore office is a .NET shop, but the Reston office is Java on *nix (Mac for dev, Linux in production, and no plans to use Microsoft anything for development). Our stack is Java on Spring with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. We have some big projects in the works involving big data and volume as we scale globally and across mediums (video, mobile, etc.). Currently, our Reston platform alone handles 4 billion requests a day.

Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.

I actually got hired through a HN "Who is Hiring" thread, and I hired an intern through these threads. These things do work!

Our office is walking distance from a metro-rail station on the Silver Line, opening for service in a few months.
