At Scalyr, we've built a log analysis and ops visibility tool that our users rave about, because it smashes expectations for performance and ease of use. Now it's time to spread the word. If you're passionate about enlightened server operations, appreciate good tools, and would like the chance to bring a great tool to great customers, we should talk.
We've had success with meaty posts like https://www.scalyr.com/community/guides/zen-and-the-art-of-s... and http://blog.scalyr.com/2014/08/99-99-uptime-9-5-schedule/. Join us and you'll have the chance to write meaningful articles, engage with fellow engineers, and spread the word on a great product.
We offer the equity, influence, and fun of an early-stage company, with stability, great pay, and a low-stress, engineering-driven culture. We have great backers, strong traction, and an 11-digit target market. I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say this is my favorite so far.
If you have an engineering background, experience in operations, and a love of communicating, drop me a line at [email protected]!

We’re a London-based startup working on a microservices-based “CloudOS” using a mixture of OCaml, Linux containers, and Erlang/Elixir - with some DSLs, systems code, and distributed systems thrown in. We want developers to spend more time writing core business-logic and less time thinking about infrastructure.
We’re looking for our first technical hires, who will be working with us to design and implement the core platform that will make this a reality. We have a MVP in Python (https://github.com/StackHut/stackhut); it gives a feel for what we’re trying to build, although is only a start.
We’re implementing this in OCaml, and are looking for talented functional programmers (OCaml, Haskell, F#, Scala, etc.) preferably with some knowledge of Linux/Unix systems programming. It’s a challenging role, working on hard problems, but the chance to build and manage a technical team and shape a company and product from the get-go.
We’re funded by top-tier infrastructure investors from the West Coast, and the founders are highly-technical and ex-YC / PhD. Salaries are competitive and include stock options.
Any questions please comment, reach out on email (jobs at stackhut dot com) or at https://stackhut.com/#/careers. Cheers!

We have a small team that makes the software that runs YC. Hardly any investors write software, but YC was started by hackers so it's natural for us to solve our problems that way.
The YC software is used by a relatively small number of people—mostly the YC partners and founders—but the users are sufficiently important that through them we are able to have huge leverage. YC has ambitious plans to create more innovation in the world, and the only way to reach that level of impact is to scale through software.
We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join us. It's not a job for everyone, but it could be a good fit for someone who likes startups. If you're a hacker, have a look at the job description: https://jobs.lever.co/ycombinator/8703c1d9-af67-4826-90e4-74.... If it feels like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

We help solve problems like the multi-billion dollar asset repositioning problem (people literally ship empty containers to try to meet customer demand) and answer questions like is the port of long beach about to go on strike, is my shipment going to get stuck in customs, and who's the best person to ship with between point A and B?
- Clojure, Clojurescript, Python/PySpark- Cassandra, postgres, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker
- We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team
- We have paying customers across multiple verticals
- We eat + drink together a lot...
- Clojurescript engineer (frontend tech lead)- Clojure Data engineer

Basecamp is hiring programming, design, marketing, operations, and data interns for summer 2016.
Interns at Basecamp work on real projects and are mentored one-on-one by a member of our team who will guide you throughout your time at Basecamp. The projects you'll work on as an intern at Basecamp are all derived from real problems we face as a business, and we expect you'll have a meaningful impact during your time here. You'll leave Basecamp with new technical, creative, and business skills and having accomplished something significant.
Internships at Basecamp are remote -- you can work from anywhere you want, provided there's some overlap in time zones with your assigned mentor. We'll fly you to Chicago once or twice during the summer to get together with your mentor and the rest of the intern class, and you'll talk regularly with your mentor via phone, Skype, or Google Hangouts. You'll also participate in some of our dozens of Campfire chat rooms every day.
All internships are paid and require a commitment of 8-12 weeks of full time work between May and August 2016 (we're flexible on start/end dates, planned vacations, etc.).
Learn more and apply via https://basecamp.com/internships. Apply by Wednesday, February 24th.
If you have any questions, you can email me directly at [email protected].

Golang, containers (Docker), distributed systems, and data infrastructure -- that's what we do.

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!
Pachyderm's is looking for our first hire! We went through YC W15, raised a strong seed round($2M), and are looking for someone to help lead our core engineering team. Pachyderm is just founders right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.
We pay competitive SF-level salaries along with significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF, but we offer full relocation assistance.

Developing software appeals to those who love to solve puzzles and apply their brain power -- and also to those, in our experience, who like working from home in their pyjamas. If you're looking to join a forward-thinking industry with a stable outlook (databases-as-a-service), we have a tremendous challenge for you and a terrific team willing and able to support you through it.
Here are a few things that's great about our team:
* Work from anywhere! As long as you're legally able to work in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.
* Self-managing, open culture. Choose your projects. We're deadline averse and quality focused.
* Ruby/Go.
* Fantastic salary and benefits - MacBook Pro.
* Join a thriving, respectful and family-like international team.
* Fair and objective hiring. Participate in 'blind-hiring'.
Our hiring process is nifty. We request a work-sample upfront that closely resembles the work you'd be doing within your role. Once you submit, your answers are anonymized then graded by 3 different people following pre-defined criteria.
We want to know, objectively, who is going to both enjoy and crush the work. We have three positions open for candidates:
* Platform Engineer (More back-end)
* Application Developer (More front-end)
* Technical Content Creator ('Developer Advocacy' type of role)
For the full postings checkout https://compose.io/jobs or email [email protected] with a quick tale about a database you loved, or didn't love and which role intrigues you.
If you have any questions, we'll gladly answer whatever you'd like. Everyone gets a personal response and a fair, respectful 'go' at the process.

You know, that's far from "anywhere"... :)
What's wrong with working from mainland Europe assuming one can work within UK hours? (and send invoices at the end of months..., aka long-term contracting)

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.
We're growing quickly and looking for great engineers. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We're building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by entire marketing teams and we need your help to build new statistical models, to build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.
We code in Rails, Angular, and Couscous, our distributed computation framework that runs statistical models with R and Spark.
Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].
