---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US
  
  - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
    In the past few months, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside 
    PhoneGap), Angular.js, Ruby (of course) and a little bit of Java and C#.
  
  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.
  
  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
  
  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit 
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.
  
  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA. 
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43
  
  - If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
    you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.
  
  - A growing technology and startup community.

  - You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.
  
  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.
  
  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.
  
  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

Hiring: Software Developer, DevOps Engineer, Product Evangelist, Interns

We are a small & successful bootstrapped software company from Berlin and build popular web-based applications for software teams. We have been in business since 2004 and many thousands of teams, both small and large, use our products. We are looking for software developers, a DevOps engineer and a product evangelist to join our team. You can learn more on our website here:

http://www.gurock.com/about/jobs/

We are also looking for interns (paid) or computer science students to help us with various smaller projects part time.

Our main product TestRail is web-based test management software. It's available both as a download edition as well as a SaaS/cloud edition. In addition to completely designing and building our products in-house, we maintain our own high-availability and critical server infrastructure for our products. If you join our team you can expect a wide array of opportunities and challenges to test your skills.

We are about to open an awesome office in Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg, near Mitte) and offer great benefits. We use a modern web development stack with PHP, an advanced custom MVC framework (like Rails), Vagrant etc. Our server infrastructure uses Ubuntu LTS, Ansible, HAProxy, MySQL, Corosync and DRBD among other things.

We are building an international team and most of our customers are from North America and all over Europe, so speaking German is not required. If you are in Berlin (or consider relocating) and one of our open positions sounds like a good fit, let me know.

We're a small company selling software and services to a technical and demanding industry. Our international team is looking for someone who is up to learning something possibly completely new, and extending their coding abilities on varied systems that we're in the process of scaling.

Tools we work with include: Python/Flask/PostgreSQL, C/C++, /Java (server side), AngularJS (frontend), OSX/Windows/iOS/Android apps

You will need to be available for working with our customers on the phone between at least 10am-3pm CET (Central European Time), and collaborating with our distributed dev team during some later hours some parts of the week (flexi-time). You should have good speaking english to take occasional support calls during the day - this is an important part of how we work, where all developers have direct access to customers. We'd also love to have a German speaker on board.

Interns/Junior devs completely welcome to apply - if you are just learning to code, have a technical background in any field and can demonstrate genuine aptitude for independent learning please get in touch. This is a 100% remote position and some of us have kids while working from home so we're very family-friendly. It's also an excellent position for anyone studying.

We're changing the face of e-commerce through computer vision technologies (9 patents and counting), and making them available to anyone with a smartphone - a very challenging problem.

While we're in stealth, we're well-funded by a long list of tier-1 VCs and angels (Yuri Milner, a16z, Keith Rabois, Michael Kors, and many others including a number of celebrities).

We are small and are carefully growing our team - we have a strong preference for founders or people who have worked at startups. I can't say enough good things about working here - the founders have created a great culture.

In San Francisco, we're looking for:

* iOS / Android developers (if you're a mobile animal, we want to talk!)

* computer vision / image recognition experts

* machine learning specialists

* UI/UX designers

We're particularly looking for:

  * Backend API Architect/Engineer

What's the role?

--------------------

At the core of ClassDojo is a node.JSON API built on node.js which makes use of multiple services and handles hundreds of requests per second. We have native clients for iOS, Android and even Windows Desktop, and a rich JavaScript web client, and all of these consume the same API.

You'll work on architecting the API and implementing an internal node.js framework which bakes in resource sharing and permissions, provides realtime notifications and events to our clients, and which offloads CPU intensive tasks to asynchronous offline processes.

Throughout you'll be designing a beautiful API that is used by developers every day, you'll be solving difficult architecture and distributed systems problems, and you'll be a part of an important company shaping educational outcomes for millions of kids in America and worldwide.

--------------------

What skills are we looking for?

--------------------

* Relevant experience in designing or maintaining a mature API is important to us. This could be through work at a prior company or through your personal projects or open-source work. We'd really like to see an example of an API you've worked on. We know every API has warts, but that's fine - we look forward to discussing the trade-offs you had to make.

* Experience working on a production system or some type of live product is important.

* An educational background in Computer Science or Math is preferred but not essential.

Is this you? Apply here: https://classdojo.wufoo.com/forms/join-classdojo/

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 (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++.

An example of a project that a member of our infrastructure team could work on is a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs that cover everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss. Hardware like this has been on the horizon for a while, but it is just now becoming available to early adopters. Writes to NVDIMMs will be nearly instantaneous and immediately durable. This project will be to develop an NVDIMM-based system that simultaneously functions as a log, an IPC mechanism, and a searchable database for analysis. Making this work will involve a number of pieces: kernel drivers, CPU cache control, lock-free synchronization, a daemon to write everything back to long-term (i.e. less expensive) storage, and more. If this works well, we plan to open-source all the pieces.

Please visit http://amacapital.net/careers.html to learn more, and, if interested, apply to careers@amacapital.net.
