Markit On Demand
Markit On Demand is a design driven technology company based in Boulder, Colorado. We’re part of Markit, a global financial information company that’s headquartered in London. Here in Boulder, where the sun shines 300 days a year, we have a team of 400+ professionals dedicated to the presentation of financial content and data for our clients in the Financial Services, Media and Healthcare industries. On any given day, you might work with a colleague in New York, a retail brokerage in the US, a newspaper in Germany, a bank in Africa, or throw ideas around with an economist in our London office. And that’s before you meet up with co-workers for a foothills hike or a brewery happy hour tour. We're looking for developers and engineers up and down the stack at all levels.
AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange 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 (currently, I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers in the coming months who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.
No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be interested in financial markets and to be able to carefully implement your strategies in C++.

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 offer catered lunches, full health/dental/life/401k, above-market salaries, options, unlimited vacation and flexible hours.
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 at least 1 year experience in one of iOS, Android or JavaScript+HTML5 development to work on our SDKs and a range of exciting mobile apps.

Django Developer, Python Developer
LaterPay is a startup looking to change the way we pay for content online. The idea is micropayments, but the twist is that you pay after you accumulate €5, rather than paying into a 'wallet' up front.
We have a couple of positions open for python developers, and as we are still very small, those positions have a lot of scope for responsibility and choosing your own focus. We have a lot of Django work, so there's also a possibility to join as a Django specialist, especially if you also grok HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Other technologies we use include Tornado, Cassandra, Redis, and our code lives on github. Experience with these is a bonus but not necessary!
If you are interested, drop us an email with a resume and some code to look at - jobs@laterpay.net

We're looking for passionate iOS and Android developers to help ramp-up our mobile development.

If interested, please send your resume to: jobs at hopstop dot 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.

The firm is growing quickly after a recent investment round.
What you should know about us:
o Learn/use Ruby on Rails / Postgres / Git
o We built our own platform to optimize everything: social, mobile, ecommerce, warehouse operations, etc.
o Engineers make key decisions - no managers, PMs, or “business people”
o Startup culture without the BS
o Proven, tangible business model (we sell clothes)
o Huge market in a fun space (fashion)
o Profitable and growing, but still small team & early stage
o Self-funded - no VCs, no board politics
