[ 3.2 ms ] story [ 323 ms ] threadUnifyo is the next generation relationship management tool. It’s clever technology is helping successful businesses to stay on top of their ever growing number of customer and contact relationships in a social world. Instead of company data being scattered across multiple applications and employees wasting time on searching for the right pieces of customer info, Unifyo provides instant access to unified customer profiles, without any complex setup or integration work. Less time spent on searching, more time spent on business.
We are adding two people to our team of 7:
1) Online Marketing / Growth hacking – responsible for user acquisition and overall growth. If you have great communication skills, you love to experiment with user acquisition techniques and you are into measuring what works and what doesn't, then we'd love to hear from you.
2) Sales / Customer Success – convert users to paying customers. The likes of Yammer and other "free to sign up" services didn't scale by simply cold-calling companies, but by making sure that people and companies which did sign up got the most out of their products, converted into paying customers and made sure every employee is using their products. Little cold-calling but lots of selling by making sure our users use Unifyo successfully - if that sounds like a plan to you, get in touch.
We’re a small, fun team, with an emphasis on enjoying our work and learning. We are a Seedcamp funded company (Europe's biggest startup accelerator), so you'll have access to a huge mentor network. Getting involved will be a great way to learn and gain loads of experience really really fast. We’ll also offer a competitive salary and stock options so you can share in the company’s success.

We're looking to meet a forward-thinking DevOps engineer to join us at Mixlr and take responsibility for our comprehensive web and live streaming architecture.
Mixlr is a platform for social radio. We make streaming live audio easy for tens of thousands of broadcasters streaming to millions of listeners every month - this means our entire architecture has to be both rock-solid and amazingly scalable. We've already moved mountains to make this happen, and are hugely proud of the system we've built. Now we want to meet the engineer who will take us to the next level of scaling.
We would like to meet a highly competent engineer who has a passion for both music or radio and systems engineering, who will be responsible for maintaining, improving and evolving our entire technical infrastructure. This will include the configuration, deployment and performance-tuning of our live streaming services, web servers, databases, testing services and overall physical and virtual hosting.
Find a longer description of this role here: http://mixlr.com/devops
We're also looking to meet C++, Android and Ruby on Rails developers: http://devblog.mixlr.com/2013/02/01/were-hiring/
Thanks but we are not seeking help from recruiters at this time.
New York (also similar positions in San Francisco, Ohio, Durham, Montevideo, Singapore)
We care more about passion and curiosity, less about knowledge of one particular framework. So you don’t need to know Rails or iOS but you do need to have experience in familiar frameworks, and you need to be willing to learn either or both. Languages and frameworks can be learned, passion cannot.
Our development process is based on XP with an emphasis on individualism and pragmatism. We pair a lot, but not all the time. We test a lot, but not all the time. The key is being able to explain your practices with rational argument. Ultimately, we care more about building the best products we can, less so about being dogmatic about our process.

We're a small and ambitious team, seeking a generalist developer with expertise in building web applications.
Our company is funded solely from income from our clients. So perhaps this is a role for someone who wants the freedom to do things right and the potential for the job to grow in whatever way they want, but avoid some of the uncertainty of an investor-funded startup.

Java Developers and Data Scientists
http://jobs.bloomberg.com/ http://www.bloomberg.com/ux
There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We do a huge variety of things and we like to run our teams with a startup results-driven feel. We are primary consumers of billions of incoming pieces of data daily and redistribute it to over 180 countries on one of the largest private networks in the world, producing software which provides discovery, analytics, visualization and much more.
Contact me if you want to discuss at andrew@ishiboo.com.
If you want to chat in person, we are a sustaining sponsor of NYTM and are at all the meetups. and we'll have a few people at JSConf in May.
PS
That's quite an "interesting" photo at ishiboo.com
Just struck me as an odd choice when posting for a seemingly suit and shirt place like Bloomberg.
As for attire, everyone wears whatever they want -- probably just like any other company posting here.
I did not mean to imply any improprietary, just a passing glance at a site, and a middle aged man who should know the by-ways of the net better (me).
Sounds like a fun fire-hose to get to work with - enjoy.
(Actually I would be interested in getting a flavour of the sizes of data sets, time constraints you work under, tools of choice (trading off performance and reliability) - real time massive data is where most of us are heading, would be interesting to hear letters back from Mason and Dixon)
Also, Danny Dulai worked for Bloomberg.
I mean, he's obviously famous among his friends. :)
Incidentally: I know Andrew well, and actually almost moved to NYC to work with him at Bloomberg. I think he is underselling the role a little bit. His team sits on top of one of the greatest mountains of real time data in the world, and gets paid to invent and execute cool things to do with it. I'm pretty familiar with the environment he's working in, and it is the least stereotypically "BigCo" environment in probably all of finance.
If you're remotely interested in Andrew's problem domain, strongest possible recommend; go talk to him!
I was also told that my money making side projects would not be allowed or would have to be "approved".
The people who interviewed me were really nice though and they did not wear a suit.
Your question is actually very open-ended. We have roughly 4,000 R&D employees, so you can imagine the work is very diverse across the company. Teams are roughly 4-8 people at the lowest level and group up into larger organizations organized by product type (equities, fixed income, etc.).
I happen to work on infrastructure for the Professional service (aka Terminal). Our team has very little interaction with anything finance related and most of our work is related to evolving the entire platform forward and making forward-looking changes. Back in 2005, we converted all of our higher-level "app" development to server-side JS (custom, Spidermonkey based) and now run probably the largest server-side JS stack in the world (~20MM LOC). We migrated a lot of our GUI toolkit to be scripted as well (LUA this time) to allow us to more easily evolve it. And now we're evolving it, embedding WebKit and pushing bugfixes and feature enhancements to do what we need (our fork is on GH). We're helping define and implement CSS3 Grid spec and help implement ES6 generators among other things. We built and run a third-party app store within the Terminal. Over the past decade we've rebuilt the C++ foundation of the company from the ground up, starting with our own STL implementation using the Lakos allocator model (Lakos and a few other C++ committee members work here). We have a huge wealth of awesome C++ libraries that we started open-sourcing and will continue to add more layers as time goes by.
All of what I mentioned is stuff done by the infrastructure team, and we're a tiny percentage of the overall R&D population. Other teams get to do fun stuff as well. The mortgage team ported long-running ABS OAS calculations from Linux farms to GPU clusters and wrote a Python based cash flow engine from the ground up, potentially helping define the SEC's Python-files-must-be-included rules.
We run a worldwide network with somewhere around 35,000 circuits in 180+ countries. We ingest anywhere from 45-60 billion "ticks" daily aggregate from feeds in all of these countries. We normalize, scrub, and then re-distribute all this data to customers in all of those countries in an efficient manner. The Terminal provides analytic and visualization tools to work with market data, as well as the same tools to work with news and alerts. On the news side, we ingest over 80,000 news feeds (e.g. WSJ would be one "feed") from around the world and do the same kind of processing, applying ML for sentiment and topic classification, etc. We also design our own hardware in-house -- everything from keyboards and monitors, to custom ASICs for authentication/subscription tokens and PCIe hardware security modules for our certificate infrastructure. The web side (bloomberg.com, businessweek.com, BGOV, BLAW, Black, etc) uses mostly Rails stacks and everything you would expect to find in a web shop.
Oh, and we have a TV station, radio station, etc. They innovate too. Bloomberg TV is the first non-OTA channel to be distributed via Aereo, for instance :)
We could use a motto like "We do a lot of stuff."

Sociable Labs is looking for a few more people to join us. Our product is essentially smarter Facebook widgets that have been shown in case after case to provide a measurable sales boost. Our customers love us.
