I have a plea for those posting: Please tell me what you do so I know if that's something I'm interested in.

Example (not personal, you were just the top post right now): "Etsy.com is hiring all kinds of positions from engineering to design to marketing. Come join an awesome team..." I have no idea what you do or why that should interest me.

As opposed to: "Lot18 (http://www.lot18.com) is revolutionizing the way people buy wine and epicurean products online." Thank you, now I know whether I should continue reading based on whether that's something that interests me.

[jedberg]

It's a filtering mechanisim. If you aren't familiar with Etsy, then you probably aren't the person they're looking for.

Much like with reddit, we posted the jobs on the blog because we wanted people familiar with the site.

We apply the same principles of dealing with market data to other sectors such as government, law, and even sports.

We run our own datacenters, containing the biggest/best hardware available in the world. We run one of the largest private networks in the world and connect to more primary data sources than anyone else. Incoming market data rates exceed 45+ billion messages a day.

If these challenges interest you, check the listings online for something that sounds interesting, apply mentioning me, and/or e-mail me to get in contact.

[Medicine]

For developers, except for working in one of the infrastructure teams at Bloomberg, I heard its like going backwards. Most developers are app developers and do CRUD apps with crappy proprietary technologies and all this has to be done in tight deadlines. :) Heard from 1st, 2nd and 3rd sources.

Stratasan (stratasan.com) - Nashville, Tennessee

Python Developer

Prior experience with other web-stack languages is fine (Ruby/Rails, PHP, Perl, etc), as long as you're willing to learn Python. Remote is an option for the right candidates, but we have a strong preference for someone local or willing to relocate.

We're a small startup in the healthcare sector. We take data from public and private sources and allow healthcare companies (hospital systems, non-profits, etc) to look at markets from multiple angles. Our biggest competitor is Thomson Rueters. More information on our full job post on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/1827430

Currently our team consists of two developers (and an intern), with 20+ years of programming experience between us. We are lazy developers, so we like to do things correctly the first time around (this means unit tests, readable code, etc.) so we can go home and be with our families. Rockstars, ninjas, and studs need not apply. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email us. We would prefer a mid- to senior-level developer, but if you're a junior and looking for mentorship in the trade, we still want to talk to you.

You can email [email protected], or email me directly at brian@ (same domain).

New York, NY - Software Engineer - Fulltime

Canvas (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future.

The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer".

Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job.

You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.

San Francisco, CA - http://singly.com, Node.js Infrastructure and Frontend Engineers, Full time, Remote OK

Singly, sponsoring The Locker Project (http://lockerproject.org), is building an open source data locker to put you in control of the information you have on N services, and an application platform to make it all useful. We believe end-users should have absolute power over how their data is stored and used, and developers should be able to build on it without setting up servers or authing infinity service (we do it for you). We've just launched to developers (come play!) and are looking for people who {heart} data and want to charge through scaling and design iterations with us.

Apply through https://singly.com/#About-WorkWithUs or [email protected], or just come hang with us in #lockerproject on Freenode.

Leapfrog Online is looking for a talented Chicago-area Python engineer to work in our Evanston office. Our Python engineers build and maintain high-traffic web sites using the Django web framework. We offer a great working atmosphere, a strong focus on work-life balance, and tremendous opportunities to learn new skills and technologies. We also have competitive salaries and benefits and close-knit teams who like what they do.

As we principally focus on the web, we look for real-world experience using Python application frameworks (such as Django) to build high-traffic web sites and applications. Experience with other languages is welcome. What are the extras we look for? Experience producing and consuming web services (SOAP, REST, XML-RPC); experience working with message-oriented systems (AMQP or other message, pub-sub and task queues such as Celery); deep knowledge of version control systems (especially Mercurial or Git); an interest in non-RDBMS data stores (CouchDB, MongoDB, Redis); knowing what it really means to develop RESTful applications; and, experience with functional and declarative programming models in addition to object-oriented development.

If you're a bright, self-motivated engineer who enjoys using open source software to solve interesting problems, you’re our kind of programmer, and we’d like to talk to you. You can apply on our site, where you'll also find full job descriptions and information about Leapfrog Online: http://www.leapfrogonline.com/who/careers/

San Jose, CA - Milo.com, part of eBay

Milo's goal is to list every product on every shelf in every store. We have a noble goal of trying to help shoppers find products in store. Surprisingly, the vast majority of people still do most of their shopping in stores and we help them shop wisely. How? We show you the different pricing options and the distances to stores so you can decide if it is cost- and time-effective to go shop at a local store or use other options. In my opinion, we complement eBay shopping pretty well.

I joined this team as a data engineer a few months back and really enjoy the work environment. We still retain the startup culture (read more on the website) and also get the benefits of the larger company (eBay), which includes technical expertise and operational support.

We are currently looking for data engineers (and quite a few other positions as well). I work on the data team and we get to do a variety of interesting and technically challenging projects. You get to learn how the different pieces of the puzzle fit together and interact with different teams. I have the joy of working with some really smart people. I can honestly say, I look forward to going to work every day after having worked from home for the past couple of years at my previous job.

But, I have to warn you, once you get a taste of Milo, you may not want to go anywhere else...

Oh... and we mainly use Python and we are going to Pycon as well. Check out the website for more: http://milo.com/jobs

PS. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.

Palo Alto, CA - Full-stack Web Developer - LOCAL or REMOTE (full-time preferred)

We're one of the thousands of startups doing social networking. Our focus is on groups and events.

We've built a real-time stack of our own that bridges backbone.js <-> socket.io <-> gunicorn+gevent <-> django. The web application is nearly all single-page architecture, with both web and mobile making use of an API. We use coffeescript pretty much everywhere.

    * backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres

    * frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

We're looking for an advanced full-stack web developer. You know a lot about several or all of the above. Backend/frontend/query optimization/deployment.

We'll be growing our user base very soon -- we've amassed a small army of interns at most colleges around our initial metro launch area and need knowledge/experience optimizing and scaling the above technologies. We're on the lookout for those who want senior developer ownership and can be mentors/leaders as we grow.

I'll be at PyCon.

[lpolovets]

Palo Alto or Los Angeles or Shanghai strongly preferred, but remote work is possible for exceptional U.S. candidates. Full-time only. H1B is okay for very strong, non-remote applicants.

Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider, so that developers, startups, and big companies can focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We believe in openness and transparency rather than proprietariness and obfuscation.

We have a terrific team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). In late 2010, we raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers and partners include Facebook, Newsweek, Loopt, and Blekko. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

We have job openings for software engineers of all levels. You would ideally know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

If you're interested in the Bay Area office, it just opened in December of 2011 and is very small, so you'd have a significant influence on the culture there.
