FanJam - http://fanjam.com - Frontend Engineer Ember.js

Remote OR in Chattanooga, TN

Do you love sports & javascript? At FanJam (fanjam.com), we're building a new kind of fantasy basketball game on web and mobile. We're a small team with backgrounds in startups, consulting, and venture capital. Our team shares a love for either sports or programming, but we all share a common love for building a winning culture.

In this role, you will be working with mostly client-side javascript. We're still in the early stages of development, so we’re looking for someone comfortable in architecting front end code using a modular approach & capable of making good design decisions. An ideal candidate is keeping up to date with the rapidly changing javascript landscape and has experience working with realtime applications. You’re aware of the challenges of DOM implementations between browsers and can write clean code to deal with them.

We invest in our people, and team build through whiskey, basketball games, and hack weeks. We keep the fridge stocked, stay as transparent as possible, and will buy whatever resources you need to keep learning (books, screencasts, etc) We're still a small team, so this is a great opportunity to have a big impact on the product and our culture. We're looking for people with a passion for their work with high standards. Ideal candidates have a demonstrated experience hacking stuff; code samples are best (GitHub, a personal website/blog, previous projects are all great).

You can work remotely or at our offices in Chattanooga, TN

Skills we're looking for

* Proven experience working with Javascript on client-side (ember.js/or angular/react)

* Experience working with web sockets & realtime technology

* Comfort on the front end html5, compass, and css/sass

* Being able to get things done and to ship code.

* Experience with large code bases and structuring code in a modular way.

* Affinity with the web, browsers and new web technologies.

* Familiarity with basic development tools: you know your way around git, bash, grep and sed. You're not afraid to write a shell script to automate some stuff.

* Experience with data visualizations is a big plus

* Have a good sense of humor and leave your ego at the door

* A desire to get better every day

Frontend Engineer

We're one of the oldest PaaS's out there, with support for PHP/Ruby/Java/node.js and both AWS and Azure. Earlier this year we launched a brand new user experience from the ground-up -- a new website and a completely new client-side interface. As a Frontend Engineer, you'd be working primarily on the latter.

The UI is written using angular.js served up by a lightweight node.js api proxy server. We use jasmin/protractor/selenium for our tests and only accept green builds via travis to be merged to master. Through our "eybot" on slackhq, we deploy stable code to production multiple times a day.

The UX engineering team at Engine Yard consists of 3 UI designers and 4 engineers (including myself). We're spread out across 8 timezones (Dublin through San Francisco), so experience working in a distributed team is key.

You'll get:

    * Competitive salary
    * Full medical, dental and vision benefits
    * 25 paid days off per year
    * 401(k)
    * We take care of your phone bill
    * Paid travel to conferences
Must haves:

    * A passion for writing great software to solve real problems for real people
    * Demonstrated experience building complex client-side applications in
      JavaScript, preferably with angular.js
    * Experience working in a distributed team
    * The strong belief that a feature isn't finished until it's tested and, where
      appropriate, documented
    * A fantastic sense of sarcasm
    * Ability to travel occasionally (at least once or twice a year)
    * Somewhere between UTC and UTC-8
Great to have:

    * Thorough understanding of git
    * Experience building REST apis
    * Experience with multiple languages (and an understanding of their tradeoffs)
    * Experience with agile development
    * Previously worked at a startup

Mozilla Research - Video Codec Engineer - Remote or one of the global offices

The Internet needs a royalty free video codec appropriate for universal deployment with no gatekeepers. Creating a better video codec is a difficult task, and creating one with unencumbered technology is even harder. We've achieved that goal for audio with Opus, but video is still dominated by royalty bearing codecs like H.264.

We're looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join us building Daala, a next-next generation video codec being developed by Mozilla Research in conjunction with the Xiph.Org Foundation. Daala uses lapped transforms, overlapped-block motion compensation, frequency-domain prediction, gain-shape (perceptual) vector quantization, , and non-binary arithmetic coding to achieve superior performance.

If you like low level code, numeric programming, signal processing, algorithms, or machine learning, you'd probably enjoy working on Daala.
