Smarkets, London, UK. Sorry, no remote.

We're always looking for generalist, python-happy software engineers. If you know, or want to learn erlang, even better.

Smarkets is a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £600 million of bets since launching in 2010. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.

We are taking on the big players in the betting industry with the lean startup playbook. We think the commission charged by such players is too high, spelling for opportunity to do better.

We're building a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority. Whether you want to work on the trading exchange or the frontend, you'll be solving real and challenging problems - from scaling to optimising python to handling near real-time design constraints.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around version control, configuration management and automated testing. We can, and do, deploy to production several times a day.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Git and Chef - but we are not resistant to change as needed.

Are you hiring any interns?
CTO / Founder | EF | London

We're a new kind of startup accelerator; investing in top-tier developers pre-idea and pre-team.

We bring together the best developers into cohorts where they can find co-founders and get support to help them through the early stages of startup building (figuring out ideas, customer development, fund-raising).

We've had two cohorts so far resulting in twenty companies; they’re currently worth around $100m. They’ve raised money from some of the best investors around the world including YC.

We're currently focusing on developers who are in the early-stages of their career ranging from recent graduates and PhDs to developers with 4-5 years of real world dev experience. Founders are required to move to London but we’re actively recruiting from across Europe. We’ve also helped founders sort-out visas in the past when they’ve needed them.

We're especially interested in developers who also have domain expertise that they want to apply to building a startup. Whether thats from academic experience (we’ve had founders turn their doctorates into real world products), personal interest in specific technologies (blockchain, deep-learning, VR, etc.) or from working in a particular field (finance, security, etc).

We strongly believe that that we can only succeed by finding the best founders, so if you’re on the fence about applying or have any questions then drop us an email and we’ll help you figure it out.

http://www.joinef.com/apply

Out of interest: why do you set an upper limit of experience on 4-5 years?

This way you effectively limit the age at 25-26 (graduating from school at 18, three years to get B.Sc. in CompSci and then the period mentioned).

I am also interested to know. Could be because they're (generally) cheaper?
Generally speaking the developers who apply to us aren't optimizing for salary today; if that's what they want then they'd be much better off working for Google/Facebook/Stripe/etc rather than founding a startup.

The amount we invest is enough to cover cost-of-living for the founders so they're able to focus on building their startups (it's roughly similar to other accelerators), but anyone building a startup should appreciate that it'll involve trading-off near-term salary for longer-term gain.

The age of leaving uni actually varies quite a bit across Europe, so we get a fair number of applicants above that range.

We try to build the cohorts to maximize the number of potential co-founder pairings and part of that means it has to make sense for people to cofound together; i.e. for them to roughly have the same levels of experience.

It's also about being able to get the best people. We're very focused on finding exceptional developers, exceptional senior developers are often CTOs or leaders in major companies with strong networks and the ability to easily raise money and build teams without our help.

Exceptional junior developers are often still in lower level positions at places like Google or in hedge funds; we're offering them an opportunity to be more than just a cog in the system and that's what we're finding attracts them to us.

Crimson Hexagon - Boston. Hiring UI/UX Designers and Engineers.

We use machine learning techniques to make sense of a vast reservoir of social data. As one of the few companies with direct access to the Twitter Firehose as well as the full Facebook and Google+ APIs, we face unique UI problems that you'll help solve with your keen sense of design and attention to detail. You'll be architecting new features and workflows that our customers will use to pull valuable insight out of hundreds of billions of social media posts.

There's no precedent for a lot of what we do. Familiarity with modern JavaScript frameworks is a plus, but not a requisite-- We value your ability to think laterally, collaborate, communicate, and execute above everything. We like people who have a background in freelancing. We also like people who come to programming via nontraditional means.

Top pay, top benefits, located in Boston's Seaport district. We're big enough not to be a monoculture, but small enough not to be a corporate cult.

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================
Our mission is to build great software for farmers.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product. The scale and interdisciplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very hard and important problems.

   ===========================

   ===========================    
   ====== Other details ======    
   ===========================
– Competitive salary – Excellent benefits – Stocks – Other crazy perks (massages!)

We also have something called sprintbatticals where anyone can work on an independent project for some time (we are in the midst of redesigning this)

If you apply through this link then I'm told you will be put in a smaller queue that should be looked at more quickly: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=oVwpZfwz&s=Hackernews_Satshaba...

p.s. people who emailed me last month, I did forward your details along to hiring managers even if I didn't reply to your email directly. Sorry, this posting got an overwhelming response!

Acquired by Monsanto.
Yes Climate joined Monsanto back in August of 2013, before I started.

We operate pretty much as a separate entity, and have taken over development of a couple of their software products.

I quite enjoy working with some of the people who came over from St. Louis.

I'm happy to candidly answer questions about my experience at Climate over email: skhalsa@climate.com

Academia.edu | https://www.academia.edu/hiring

Full Time Engineers | Downtown San Francisco (near the Montgomery BART Station)

We have a very agile group of 12 engineers at Academia.edu in Downtown SF. I joined them because I really respect the problems that they are working on. Are you aware of how inefficient, inaccurate, slow and costly, scientific publishing is? In fact, the vast majority of peer-reviewed scientific research that gets published is actually not reproducible. Imagine a world where scientists can share their research more quickly, obtain greater peer-review coverage, and innovate faster. I joined because I wanted to contribute to building this disruptive Open Science platform.

Below you can find some more info about the company and the general mission of Open Science below if you're interested in the subject.

The tech stack here consists of Rails, Coffeescript, Backbone, PostgreSQL, hosted on AWS. I'd like to tell you more about our team so ping me at ashley@academia.edu so we can set up a quick call.

Where: Toronto, Canada, no remote workers. We all sit on the trading floor.

You must be eligible to work in Canada.

Who: K2 and Associates. We're one of Canada's more successful hedge funds over the past 13 years.

----------------------------- What you'll do -----------------------------

We are building out our algorithmic trading infrastructure and you have a chance to get in at the ground floor. Come help us turn our technology team from an integral part of how we do business into a profit center with its own PnL.

We've got the first iteration working and its making money. You're going to make it more efficient.

----------------------------- Who you are -----------------------------

You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.

If you draw a triangle and place computer science, statistics and finance at each of the corners, you're area of expertise is right in the middle. If you don't know finance, don't worry, we'll teach it to you.

You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...

You are comfortable with F# or C++.

If you love a challenge please reach out to me at cholliday@k2.ca or my email in my profile.

----------------------------- What's in it for you... -----------------------------

- a hedge fund is just like a startup except that everyone gets a market salary and bonuses. If' you've always wanted to join a startup but you're too good/in demand to take a pay cut then let's chat.

- work with a very talented and small team

- get paid to learn algorithmic trading

- be able to invest in our fund

- onsite chef for lunches

- choose your own hours

- you'll learn more in a year than most people learn in 10.

you said must be eligible to work in Canada. Do you mean that you cannot process people who are say on closed work permit in Canada and would need a new permit to work for you?
