REMOTE or onsite in our London offices, or some hybrid arrangement.
We are building CopyCopy (http://www.copycopy.cc/) - a cross-platform tool that makes it simple to transfer anything between phones and desktop computers.
Join us on our exciting journey, where every day breeds new ideas and more possibilities. We are young, but headed by experienced engineers and looking for fast-learning, productive coders ready to take on the challenge of building a scalable, multi-platform consumer service.
Our Git repositories, code review and Project Management tools are geared towards remote working and we are open to flexible working conditions. We urgently need full-timers and interns (paid).
You should be familiar with one or more of:
• Java (for Android, BackberryOS, and in our homegrown lightweight Java server and its GWT frontend)
• C++ (for Win32, Qt, Android NDK and Objective-C++)
• Python (occasionally) to string bits together
• Objective-C (iPhone and Mac)
• JavaScript (web frontend work and browser extensions)
• Redis
Equity on top of salary for the right candidate.
We are happy to consider remote workers who are located in timezones +/-3 hours from London or you can work in our new North West London offices. Apply now to find out about our "secret sauce" that will make CopyCopy the simplest way of transferring anything between devices.
Just send your CV to jobs@copycopy.cc now and we'll be happy to chat!
I'm currently living mostly in rural France (with a month or two per year in Kuala Lumpur), working full time with a Cambridge-based startup that's even more accommodating of remote workers (and that's the only way I could possibly do this) -- many of us on the team travel & keep working, as well, which at one point resulted in us having one dev in GMT-8, one in GMT-5, one in GMT, and one in GMT+8 (!).
There are some things that are more difficult with remote dev, mostly communication-related -- though if we all have good internet connectivity, we get by quite well -- but I've become fond of the hidden bonuses, like "relay" programming -- basically, pair programming where you only overlap for one part of the task, and the person who started it (in an earlier time zone) isn't the same one who finishes it. It's always easy to do maintenance, deployments, etc. at "odd" hours -- you just pick the person in a time zone where the hour isn't so odd. And generally our communication is good enough (and we share tasks enough) that no one is ever stuck sitting around waiting for X to wake up and come online.
So best of luck to you, and I hope more startups will follow your lead!
Our webapp is currently old-school enterprise Java, partly because we're building atop a few major bits of OSS that are Java/JEE, but we're not opposed to becoming more polyglot as we expand.

The usual startup benefits included: competitive salary, healthcare, whatever hardware you need to be most productive. email: jobs@[our-domain-name]

Canvas (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future.
The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer".
Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job.
You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.
More details and how to apply http://canv.as/jobs
The job posting is a little ambiguous; we really just need a smart developer that integrates well with the team. We have a ton of small projects going on in a variety of technology stacks so its hard coming up with a concise job position.
While I admit the company is pretty much the opposite of a startup, the job is very rewarding and there is a huge potential to create value with your work. I'm a developer there; message me if you have any questions.
Mapquest is hiring for a variety of roles, but the primary one is a Mobile Czar to handle product direction and development for our mobile products.
We're in the last stages of bringing in a new product team that's focusing more on the ? of "What do we do with the fact that we know where millions of people are trying to go every month?" We're working on a new product (Mapquest Vibe - beta launched at SxSW) and you'd be a major player in the direction that the mobile version took. You'll be talking with users to get impressions on UX, writing press releases, and actually doing development work on the app. It's an exciting opportunity to work on a brand name and try to steer it in a new direction.
Let me know if you're interested at the e-mail in my profile and I'll be in touch!
