The internet is important. For the UK economy it is very important: contributing over 10% of GDP. At QuBit we are working to make the internet better. We want to make each company we work with as profitable as possible by processing online data intelligently. And we need your help.

We are looking for Front End Developers, Customer Solutions Engineers and a DevOps / Systems Engineer. You'll need a degree in Computer Science or similar discipline from a top university, the flair to do well in a dynamic growth-phase start up and an Open Source state of mind.

Front End Developers need to have skills in JavaScript, HTML, CSS and cross browser debugging. Any experience of the Back End or UI / UX design will be a major plus. We use tools like Backbone, Redis and Nodejs on the Front End side, and would love to hear from you if you do too.

Customer Solutions Engineers have all the skills of the Front Enders, with the ability to be client facing. You'll be dealing with major players in the eCommerce space and helping to troubleshoot and solve problems on their websites. In depth knowledge of server-side coding and web design would be really beneficial here.

Our DevOps / Systems Engineer is going to help us optimize our platform. We're looking for someone with crossover Sys Admin and programming experience. You'll be autoscaling our use of Amazon Web Services and maintaining our networks and systems including a Hadoop cluster.

We're looking at graduate, junior, mid-level and senior people for these hires. If your kung fu is the best let us know, we'd love to hear from you. Send a CV to careers@qubitdigital.com and maybe you'll be joining our team in London's Soho and enjoying life at Wired's start up of the week: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-02/28/startup-of-th...

New York City / London - Bloomberg LP (http://www.bloomberg.com/careers)

We aggregate, scrub, produce, analyze, distribute all of the data in the world that drives our market economies. We know how to process data efficiently and at an enormous scale. We apply the same principles of dealing with market data to other sectors such as government, law, and even sports. We hire people that thrive on challenges and can hack on systems to meet these challenges in the best way possible.

We run our own datacenters, containing the biggest/best hardware available in the world. We run one of the largest private networks in the world and connect to more primary data sources than anyone else. Incoming market data rates exceed 45+ billion messages a day.

If these challenges interest you, check the listings online for something that sounds interesting, apply mentioning me, and/or e-mail me to get in contact.

For developers, except for working in one of the infrastructure teams at Bloomberg, I heard its like going backwards. Most developers are app developers and do CRUD apps with crappy proprietary technologies and all this has to be done in tight deadlines. :) Heard from 1st, 2nd and 3rd sources.
There are roughly 3,000 people in R&D. I'm sure there are plenty of jobs in that number that are not my cup of tea. That's why I choose to work on hard problems with awesome people instead and I'm always looking for people who want the same.
From 2 internships, that's not at all a fair reflection. There are some awesome opportunities at BB and there are some issues too. It's got some old code, but the good things far outway the occasional collision with Fortran.
Could you please inform me if John Lakos's and/or Alisdair Meredith's teams are hiring and how to find these job postings?
We're all under the infrastructure umbrella.. I checked and there are no specific postings on the web for John's team, but that doesn't mean he won't interview qualified candidates. E-mail me your resume/info and I'll give it to him.
