I haven't done much visualization of large datasets, but I've always loved interactive visualizations. Check out my logo on my site: http://jlongster.com . Email me if you think I could help you all.
Assuming he's not trying to become the target of a lawsuit, "US citizens only" is a euphemism for "we're doing government work and you'll need to have a security clearance".
Its written in PHP, but I have a feeling thats holding us back from getting top developers which is why I declined to mention it.
Its a lot more about the framework than the language (I believe) and, together with the framework, we're using PHP quite effectively to produce our software.
We're hiring server engineers, operations engineers, and mobile engineers.
Our backend is built with Scala, Lift, and some Python. Our main datastore is MongoDB, but we have some stuff on Postgres. We're hosted entirely on EC2. We develop mobile clients for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.
We're a location-based social network that's changing how people interact with physical space. We've got a lot of exciting projects we want to work on, and we need all the help we can get.
Server engineer is very broad. Could be anywhere on the stack from front-end work with HTML/CSS/JS to very deep in the guts of our application code working on performance and scalability, or anywhere in between. Job description: http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/server-side-s...
Operations engineer would be focused less on our application code and more on managing our EC2 infrastructure. Anywhere from improving our deployment process to thinking about security, reliability, and performance to managing our databases to tracking key system metrics. Job description: http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/operations-en...
From what I can tell, you've melded a backend and frontend dev for the server engineer role. Thanks for your time, but you require a degree, so I'm out.
I'm with you on this. I don't understand why companies limit themselves to people with degrees. It's not like half the good (a relative term, I know) developers haven't dropped out to do awesome things anyhow.
I'm pretty happy my company - SeatGeek, we're hiring full-time devs, see jack7890's post - is understanding of my wish to complete my education. Hopefully you can find a similar placement somewhere :)
I've got an offer to extend my 3 month contract with a pretty nice startup about to land in my inbox within a week, so I don't really need a job, (I have plenty of savings anyway), but I like to shop around and keep my eyes open.
Finishing my education is what I did when MIT OCW put their course material for computer science, electrical engineering, linguistics, philosophy, and culture online.
I use degree requirements as an anti-indicator for companies. If they're requiring the piece of paper, I know that I'd be punishing myself to go work for them anyway.
The title is melded. Your role is whatever your best fit is. We have "server engineers" that do frontend dev almost exclusively, others that do backend dev almost exclusively, and others that do a bit of both.
We've hired people without degrees, and we've hired people without 5+ years experience. If you're good, we'll bend the rules.
This sounds very neat! I dabble in Lift and Scala, and I think a job working/hacking on that would be awesome - unfortunately I don't think I'm qualified quite yet.
NYC, EnergyScoreCards.com is hiring. We are in the hot energy efficiency / cleantech space, helping measure large buildings measure their energy use. We are looking for:
Developers (grails / java, but anybody with sharp skills would be considered).
Product manager to help work on new features, somebody with good visual sense.
Account manager - we sell to real estate portfolios and state agencies and need to manage those relationships.
UX person on a freelance basis, especially with experience in data visualization.
Bonus skills are experience in real estate market (residential multi-family or commercial), or background in energy efficiency / energy audits / building science, etc.
Richmond, VA: Any php/mysql programmers or designers in the area looking for contract work or more, contact me (see my profile). We've got several full time remote employees, but I see some benefit in having some local contractors/employees.
1. an awesome salesperson. Tenacious, resourceful, ambitious, but also comfortable with learning, discovery, and building a model (rather than following a model).
2. a junior designer. Someone with HTML/CSS and design chops, to help expand and improve our web presence. Some work on our core product, plus work on several small micro-projects.
UX, UI, PM, distributed systems engineer, operations engineer and more. We're in the Bay Area, down in Palo Alto and are genuinely a great company for which to work.
If you're interested in any of our positions, drop me a line at henry at cloudera.com and I'll get you in contact with the relevant people - in particular if you're a distributed systems guy looking for some seriously interesting problems to work on, I'd love to hear from you!
SSi Micro is hiring great hackers. Are you smart, motivated, and interested in working on awesome software optimized for our world-class, unique, and super-cool satellite network? Then come and be a propellerhead at our awesome, small company.
www.ssimicro.com/jobs
We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories. We deliver broadband satellite internet to 61 of the most remote communities on earth, and now that our network's up and running (although we're investing heavily in upgrading it), we're busy building great software for our customers, optimized specifically for our unique network.
Right now, we're building a file sharing webapp called Qfile. (Check it out: http://qfile.ca -- Free 60 day trial!). Why not just use dropbox, you ask? Well, our network is pretty unique: all our traffic is bounced off a satellite, and round-trip latency of ~600ms (which is because of the horrible limitation of the speed of light, which we are constantly working to exceed) means that we have to do things a little differently. SSi is so cool that when we won a government contract to do "time-shifted file transfers", we decided that we /could/ meet our contractual obligations with a few weeks of work/testing, but instead we're building a wicked webapp that brings the functionality to everyone on our network, not just big clients with IT departments.
Yellowknife's not as cold as you think, and the 24-hours-of-daylight summers are not to be missed.
If you're interested and game, we'll make an offer really easy to accept: We'll get and pay for your apartment, a car if you need it, and pay you atop that. We'll do all that for up to three months while you evaluate us and the north, so that it's risk- and hassle-free for you to come to a really great, unique company in an awesome little city.
We're not really a startup, though we are small and dynamic enough that it feels like it. (It also feels like it because we're Daviding the Goliath incumbent telco up here, and we're kicking their slow, lazy, outmoded asses.)
Our founder (and current president and CTO) started off selling Gateway computers to Northern clients from a little shop in a town near the Knife called Fort Providence. Fifteen-odd years later we're pounding out wicked code that runs on our state-of-the-art satellite network. Lots of hard work from lots of smart people made this happen.
Thanks to NAFTA it's relatively easy for citizens of the United States and Mexico to obtain temporary work permits if you have a profession on this list [1] and the credentials to back it up. This includes "Computer System Analyst" and "Engineer".
Sorry for the lateness of this reply. We've hired international hackers before and dealt with the long immigration process. Our philosophy is we'll do whatever's necessary to get great people on board, and as stated in this thread, the TN visa should make hiring Americans easy, though we've never done that. (I have interned at two American companies and that visa process was relatively painless, which bodes well.)
It's really difficult to try to interest people (software people in general) in working way up North here, so we're not too choosy about where they come from or what their background is, so long as they're bright, motivated, and interested in kicking ass. :)
If an American wanted to work long term at your company, is there a path to Canadian citizenship?
By the way, do Canadian companies provide health insurance? I keep hearing how good the government health care is in Canada, I'm curious how employers handle that.
You have to live in Canada as a perm resident for like 3 years to be able to apply for citizenship. They also don't force you to renounce your US citizenship, so you can be a dual-citizen. So far as the US is concerned, recognition of dual-citizenship status is the purview of the State Department (i.e. IIRC, there are no laws about it, so they can choose how they want to treat your dual-citizenship status as a matter of policy or on a case-by-case basis).
Toronto, Ontario. FreshBooks is hiring pretty much everything. Marketing, sales, product managers, support, developer community manager, system administrators and plenty of developers.
If you're an ex-pat in the States and want to move back home, we provide relocation assistance.
P.S. I'm the hiring manager for the Platform. I'm personally looking for a developer community manager, a support role, front and back end developers, and a product manager. You can get me at sunir splat freshbooks dot com
P.P.S. If you're wondering why you should work at FreshBooks, we're Canadian, awesome, and growing rapidly. Here are a couple links if you want to learn a little about us:
Airbnb is hiring - I think we have around 50 openings at this point. http://www.airbnb.com/jobs. Regardless of the position, we just want hungry, smart, and awesome people.
In particular, we need some front end engineers!! http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/position?jvi=omNoVfwc
Email me directly if you are a badass front end engineer and like mustaches & ridiculous sunglasses - chris@airbnb.com
Holy crap...had no idea you guys were growing so fast. Congrats!
PS - Had a fantastic experience with AirBnB in London a few months ago when our hotel fell through at last minute. Posted emergency request and had a bunch of offers within an hour. Ended up staying with a very nice older British lady who made us breakfast and afternoon tea every day. Very fun.
I am actually in the process of writing an application for Airbnb. However, I am unsure about one important detail: Are you accepting applicants without a US working visa? (But who are willing to travel to the US as much as a tourist visa allows)
