Denver, CO - Fulltime.

Mapquest is hiring engineers to work on a new product, Mapquest Vibe. Vibe was just released at SxSW and we have a lot of work to do before we can strip the "beta" label off. If Mapquest answers the question "How do I get from A to B", Vibe answers the question "Where do I want to go?" Using Vibe, you can see at a glance where the best businesses are in any neighborhood - our goal is that it will help users feel like a "local" wherever they wind up.

You'll have a lot of autonomy in terms of how you implement features as well as input into the product direction itself. Projects I've implemented are a semantic tagging system to help categorize businesses, a dynamic geographic buffer to allow for fuzzy location searching, and I'm currently implementing a new API intended for public consumption. It's a very empowering culture and a great place to work.

We're hiring across the board. Front-end folks use backbone.js, jQuery and a few mapping-specific toolkits to do various things. Back-end folks use a mixture of Java (running on Play!) and Groovy talking to a Postgres DB. Right now we're doing mobile development for the iPhone, with an Android app on the horizon. Experience matters less than ability - we'd be just as happy interviewing a grad right out of school as we would be interviewing a grizzled vet with 40 years experience. Skills I would particularly like to see added to the team are knowledge of Hadoop and Lucene, but that's my own personal wish-list.

If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail (it's in my profile).

At GO TRY IT ON (http://gotryiton.com), we're developing a platform to help the world answer the question, "What should I wear?" We build slick iPhone apps and desktop experiences for a passionate and helpful community that spans the globe. We build fast API's to power social sharing and networking, and fashion discovery. We're growing a database that maps large datasets of user preferences to a growing fashion catalog of products from all over the web. We're working to harness and democratize the value of personal stylists through technology.

Tech we use: PHP, jQuery, Node.js, Compass, MySQL, S3, Chef, Capistrano, Jenkins, Github

We have: Series A funding from SPA investments and Index Ventures, a small, growing team of very smart people, a sweet office on the 21st floor with awesome panoramic city views [n: http://twitpic.com/6udocv, e: http://twitpic.com/6udp0j, s: http://twitpic.com/6udphj, sw: http://twitpic.com/6udpsx]

Booking.com is always on the lookout for good developers, DBA's and sysadmins on-site in the center of Amsterdam. I'm a developer there currently working on search and relocated over there about a year and a half ago, and have been very happy with it.

We have people from all over the world relocating to work with us and are very well set up to handle relocation and visa issues, most of the people working in IT are expats so we've got a lot of experience with bringing people in.

It's a rapidly growing company that represents the biggest chunk of the Priceline (PCLN) group of companies where problems that look relatively mundane on paper become much more interesting due to the scale and growth levels we're operating at.

We use Perl for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for development. We get our changes out really fast, it's rare for your code not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it.

We're also very open to open sourcing code that doesn't contain any business logic, I've personally been involved in open sourcing a few of our internal tools, including https://github.com/git-deploy and a few CPAN modules.

We have a relatively flat hierarchy with minimum levels of bureaucracy since we're very data driven and have a clear goal: helping our customers. Everything we do is aimed at solving problems for our customers, if it doesn't help our customers we're not interested in doing it.

You don't have to know Perl in advance to be a developer there. We've hired people who've done C, Java etc. before. The sort of people we'd like to hire are good technically, excellent at communication, and can acquire a good sense of how they fit into the big picture.

I'd be happy to answer any questions at avarab@gmail.com and/or forward your resume, I've posted in a similar thread here a couple of times before and have already helped get one person hired, many others have had or are having interviews, and I've fielded a bunch of questions from would-be applicants. http://booking.com/jobs also has some good information.

We're using lots of Python these days. A bit of Ruby and PHP too. And always plenty of JS, supported by backbone. Mongo and MySQL for data.

(I'll let you in on a little secret: B2B isn't as sexy as working on the next Instagram of Spotify, but there's a lot of money there and the B2B publishing industry is ripe for disruption.)
