AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets.

We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything. We design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for a DevOps engineer, and front-end and full-stack engineers: http://jobs.silkapp.com/

We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end. The team is still small (~11 people), so you'll be able to make a large impact. We are well-funded by top-tier VCs and located in the city center of Amsterdam.

All positions, except PR/Marketing require very solid HTML, CSS and JavaScript experience, but even for that position it is a huge plus. We're looking for:

  Senior front-end engineer                $100k—$175k  0.25—1.0%
  Mid front-end engineer                    $90k—$125k   0.1—0.5%

Apigee is dedicated to powering the API & Mobile revolutions. We are helping thousands of developers build API-driven infrastructure and mobile apps every day. Our technology is used at Gilt, Getty Images, Tout, Walgreens, OnStar, eBay, GameSpy, Citrix, AT&T, Pearson, ConstantContact, Best Buy, Dell, Comcast and hundreds of others.

We are actively hiring for App Services (our Mobile Backend-as-a-Service technology). Our stack is fully open-source (https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-stack) and our hosted service is currently in open Beta. We are built on top of Jersey, Jackson and Cassandra (we gutted a lot of the latter and built our own indexing system, query system, storage format and multi-tenancy strategy on top of it).

Our newest open position is Developer Advocate. Our developer advocates partner up with indie developers & startups to ensure they have a successful launch on our platform; meet people from all walks of life from around the world and help them build apps and APIs; bring feedback from the trenches to the product. This is not solutions architecture or community bootstrapping. This is about helping our existing, vibrant community of indie developers into being even more successful than they already are without our help :) (More details here: http://apigee.com/about/jobs/developer-advocate)

We are also looking for Java Developers to join our Core team and help us overcome the next-generation technical challenges, from Websockets to multi-DC, log routing and beyond! Not much is required except familiarity with at least one NOSQL database, a good understanding of the Spring framework, and solid experience in having fun.

Finally, we are looking for Mobile developers with solid experience in at least one of iOS, Android & JavaScript+HTML5 to work on our SDKs.

We offer catered lunches, full health/dental/life/401k, above-market salaries, options, unlimited vacation and flexible hours.

Want to apply? Have some questions? Want to join but don’t match either position? Then get in touch! ➝ tim@apigee.com

Our web application is at the heart of our busy e-commerce business; every day it serves millions of product images and handles thousands of purchases - but we can and do update the live site with new code anytime we want without missing a beat. Our systems are written on the LAMP stack and we are migrating to Symfony 2 as our MVC framework. Developers choose the tools that work best for them - for instance, we have a mix of Linux, Windows, and Mac workstations in the team. We are adopting and adapting agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not. We expect developers to be generalising specialists, ready at the drop of a hat to refine an algorithm, write a tricky integration test, tune a SQL query, or discuss feature nuances with a product manager. Our team is growing fast and we'd like to hear (at careers@secretsales.com) from any of you who'd like to join us; we're hiring for all technical roles.

Established in London in July 2007, Secretsales.com is one of the UK's leading private shopping clubs, offering limited-time online sales with current name-brand goods at deep discounts. Brands include fashion, beauty, homeware, and lifestyle categories, many familiar from the high street. The company has about 80 employees and a substantial annual turnover. The firm is growing quickly after a recent investment round.

Arguably the most exciting tech position in London.

We are Forward Labs, a startup lab in London. We are a dozen guys coming up with new ideas, building prototypes, testing them using lean techniques and forming teams around products that have solid traction. Essentially, we are a well-funded startup playground. Our goal is to produce 1-2 new businesses a year.

We have amazing, driven, entrepreneurial people who have a range of skills, from dev to UX/UI, marketing etc all within the team. Since we are part of a larger company, Forward (www.forward.co.uk), we also benefit from access to their expertise.
