SFBA, NYC, Chicago

Matasano is always hiring application security people, and I'm always happy to talk to systems developers who'd like to do more appsec and software security. We're like the antistartup job: instead of sinking 1-2 years of your time into building a single product built on a single stack, you work with hundreds of firms unbuilding systems running on practically every stack.

http://www.matasano.com/careers/ goes into a lot of detail about our hiring process, which people seem to like.

I'll be out in Mountain View next week if you're interested in what we do and might want coffee.

Special offer: if you're wondering what the day-to-day of our work is and want to learn some interesting things about breaking crypto, mail "sean" at Matasano and Sean will send you a series of cryptographic exercises, 40+ in total, ranging from CS101 stuff through block cipher attacks to number theoretic crypto.

Khan Academy

Mountain View, CA - full-time and intern, designers and devs

We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience as well as building brand-new tools like our new programming environment (http://ejohn.org/blog/introducing-khan-cs/).

We could use your help. Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine, and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078.

Gittip - https://www.gittip.com/ - remote

We're an open company that's turning the economy inside out. Our product centers on small, weekly, anonymous, cash gifts to people you love and are inspired by.

Gittip launched 7 months ago with a single founder and has bootstrapped to about 600 active users moving about $1,500 per week. The concept has legs and now we're assembling a team to take it as far as we can. We started recruiting four weeks ago and have already added a dozen core contributors.

Gittip is funded on Gittip. Full-fledged employees receive no salary (per the definition of an open company) and have access to restricted resources such as production data, customer service accounts, etc.

SF or REMOTE fulltime (near pacific time) CircleCI: designers, frontend, backend engineers.

At CircleCI (https://circleci.com), we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration. We have traction and revenue. Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation.

We eat our own dogfood, DevOps, A/B test, do Continuous Deployment and Customer Development.

We're looking for: designers that can write HTML & CSS, Frontend Engineers and Backend Engineers.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook, and the culture at GitHub, Stripe, etc. SF-local employees have catered lunch every day.

The frontend is a fat javascript client, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. We have a lot of interesting design and data-visualization problems that need to be solved.

The backend is written in Clojure. Backend engineers should know Clojure or another 'weird' language (Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc), and Linux Devops (C compilation model, make, packaging).

Contact us at [email protected]. Include samples of awesome stuff you've done.

Ribbon (https://www.ribbon.co) is hiring. Full time in San Francisco. No remote. Front-end Developers, Designers, Rails Devs.

Looking to add to our team of five. Ribbon is building a frictionless payments and ecommerce platform that does the transaction wherever the buyer is.

That's what we're building for consumers, businesses and developers in an elegant way with a huge focus on design. Looking for someone excited at the stage we're at: dealing with first customers, ramping up traction, figuring out new product direction and features - and also excited about the challenges we'll face, like making payments simplified for consumers and dealing with huge technical issues with fraud and building payments infrastructure.

We went through AngelPad in the fall and raised a big seed round from great investors. Awesome office in San Francisco, penthouse floor with views of twin peaks and the ballpark in soma.

We were a TechStars Boulder 2011 company. We’re lean, mean and funded by Foundry Group, Tango Group and awesome investors like Brad Feld, David Cohen, Dave McClure, Howard Lindzon and Eric Norlin.

-----------

- Competitive salary based on experience

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, and Shanghai. Remote work is possible for exceptional candidates who are US citizens and living in the US ('exceptional' meaning you are a great engineer and have lots of machine learning/data extraction/NLP/etc. experience that is relevant to what we do).

Factual's vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider that enables developers, startups, and big companies to focus on innovation instead of data acquisition. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure, machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop. Our LA office is our headquarters and our new Palo Alto office is still small, so new hires would have a huge impact on the culture there.

Hi. I'm Dave Gandy. I'm the lead product designer at Kyruus. I wake up every single day excited about my job. Why? Kyruus is going to change healthcare. No exaggeration.

Kyruus is a well-funded, big data healthcare startup in Boston. We believe that the right data at the right time can help doctors make better decisions. We believe data can save lives.

- Purpose. Every day, I get to help make the world a better place – a little at a time.

Kyruus needs good people. Specifically, a UI/UX developer to join the design team. Come work with me.

ABOUT YOU

- You think users should drive how things are designed.

- You think design should drive what gets built.

- You love the intersection between art and technology.

- You often start designing on paper.

- You like to prototype directly in HTML & CSS with a dash of JS.

- You know the difference between UI and UX.

- You'd describe yourself mostly as a UI designer.

- Programmers think you're a designer. Designers think you're a programmer.

- You have a GitHub repository. You might have even contributed to an open-source project or two.

- You have examples of websites you've designed.

SOUND INTERESTING? Feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to meeting you.

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are welcome

Scribd (social publishing & eBooks, top 100 website) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired THREE full-time people and numerous interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including a one just last month ... it really works!!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (we recently switched to Coffeescript and are loving it)

* iOS

* Android

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations

* Back-end problems: scalability, web crawling, big data, analytics

* DevOps and web infrastructure

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a zipline!). We've got flexible hours, a very engineer-driven company culture, and a really terrific team.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

We're working on a big new product launch now that we're really excited about. If you're interested in eBooks, I'd love to tell you about it.

Generally we're looking for full-time and INTERN hires (junior year or older) who want to move to SF. H1B and relocation are no problem.

Transcriptic: Core Developer

Menlo Park, CA

Transcriptic is the "Amazon Web Services" for life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're looking for highly talented full-stack web developers as well as combined background EE/CS engineers for automation integration and development. Experience reverse engineering USB based protocols is a plus.

We're a very small startup (you'd be #4), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people. The codebase is mostly Ruby and Scala, with some Python.
