Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.)
===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================
We're the single source of truth in logistics data -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and every truck on the ground so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world. We do a lot of analysis and optimization, too.
We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.
The problem -> To try to decrease costs, carries have been increasing the size of container ships. The only problem there is that as container ships get larger, the variability in the global supply chain goes up (e.g. a large ship being late causes a headache to more people than a small one).
How we fix it -> We track every ship on the water and run a bunch of analysis on our data sets so that we can help our customers smooth out the rough edges. (One company we're working with spends 6.5 mil every month on “late fees” because of these rough edges).
===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================
Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR (we’re a SOA shop)
Mobile -> iOS, android in the near term
Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)
===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from CPG companies and telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z, atlas)!
Looking for help on frontend and data science sides! (also looking for experimentalists for fun hedge fund stuff)
If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at [email protected]!
Mozilla Research - Video Codec Engineer - Remote or one of the global offices
The Internet needs a royalty free video codec appropriate for universal deployment with no gatekeepers. Creating a better video codec is a difficult task, and creating one with unencumbered technology is even harder. We've achieved that goal for audio with Opus, but video is still dominated by royalty bearing codecs like H.264.
We're looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join us building Daala, a next-next generation video codec being developed by Mozilla Research in conjunction with the Xiph.Org Foundation. Daala uses lapped transforms, overlapped-block motion compensation, frequency-domain prediction, gain-shape (perceptual) vector quantization, , and non-binary arithmetic coding to achieve superior performance.
If you like low level code, numeric programming, signal processing, algorithms, or machine learning, you'd probably enjoy working on Daala.

Smarkets, London, UK. We're hiring Software Engineers. Python, Erlang, Web-UI and Mobile. Sorry, no remote.
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.
About us: We are a non-profit project to create a fully open-source SoC using the RISC-V instruction set architecture. We intend to reach volume silicon manufacture and to produce low-cost development boards. There is substantially more information at our website http://www.lowrisc.org
We are currently advertising for two positions at the Research Assistant or Senior Research Assistant level. http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/4665/
The candidate should have a good understanding of computer architecture and also have practical experience in one or more of the following: ASIC implementation and simulation tools, low-power design, hardware description languages (e.g. SystemVerilog), FPGAs and processor design. Knowledge of computer security and system-on-a-chip architectures is also desirable. Specialists in the area of memory interface design are also sought.
Gurock, www.gurock.com - remote/world-wide - HQ in Berlin, Germany
About Us
===================================
We are a small & successful bootstrapped software company from Germany 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 hiring for different positions, but our main focus right now is on hiring a technical support engineer to help us support our TestRail customers as well as account engineers to help us demo/sell our products.
Those are not typical support and sales roles though, as our products and customers are very technical (they are software dev/testing teams), so both positions are quite challenging.
London, UK (remote considered) -- TIM Group (previously youDevise). Systems Administrator / "DevOps" Engineer.
We're looking for someone passionate about refining and perfecting the way our SaaS web applications are deployed and managed.
Our traffic is very low volume, but high value - this gives us significant amounts of flexibility to perfect our environment which high volume sites are unable to compete with. We are not high frequency, nor significantly low latency thus have less constraints and more approaches available to us. We aim to push the boundaries of infrastructure architecture, deployment and of continuous integration and delivery.
I'm building the core team at StoryWorth and hiring for three roles:
* Marketing and Partnerships lead. I’m looking for someone who can think creatively about our customer acquisition strategy then be highly analytical about executing on it.
* iOS Engineer. You’ll be responsible for building our mobile app from scratch, working closely with me on the design and with our web engineer on the backend. Prior experience building an iOS app is required.
* Full-stack Web Engineer. You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site from me, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. You need to be comfortable with Python, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have an interest in design.
StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.
We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the core team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.
You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before. All roles require 3-5 years of experience.
If you're interested, I'd be happy to tell you more. Email your resume to [email protected], I can't wait to hear from you!
Streak (YC S11) - San Francisco - No Remote, Full Time
Streak.com (YC S11) is hiring full time frontend engineers. We’re a small and nimble company working on email for businesses.
At Streak, you’ll be able to:
- work on incredibly challenging front end infrastructure. We’re a sophisticated web app built on top of the most sophisticated web app out there - Gmail. We’re also planning on exposing our Gmail infrastructure to 3rd parties so you can help build a platform to build apps on top of Gmail.
- work on a product that people use everyday for 28% of their day.
Obviously:
- Great compensation and real ownership (both equity and over the product)
- We’ll make your life easier. Our benefits package is amazing
- We’re well funded by great silicon valley investors and are profitable
Our requirements:
- you love working hard, not just for financial rewards, but for the opportunity to grow personally
- you are intellectually curious
- you live (or want to move) to SF and are authorized to work here
We’d love to hear from you at [email protected], please send us samples of anything you’ve built.

At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first [1] is for wireless signal where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills.

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.

About Us
===================================
We are a small & successful bootstrapped software company from Germany 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 hiring for different positions, but our main focus right now is on hiring a technical support engineer to help us support our TestRail customers as well as account engineers to help us demo/sell our products.
Those are not typical support and sales roles though, as our products and customers are very technical (they are software dev/testing teams), so both positions are quite challenging.

We're looking for someone passionate about refining and perfecting the way our SaaS web applications are deployed and managed.
Our traffic is very low volume, but high value - this gives us significant amounts of flexibility to perfect our environment which high volume sites are unable to compete with. We are not high frequency, nor significantly low latency thus have less constraints and more approaches available to us. We aim to push the boundaries of infrastructure architecture, deployment and of continuous integration and delivery.
Technologies include: Linux, JVMs, Ruby, Puppet, MCollective, Logstash, ElasticSearch, Graphite, KVM, IPVS, RabbitMQ, MySQL.

I'm building the core team at StoryWorth and hiring for three roles:
* Marketing and Partnerships lead. I’m looking for someone who can think creatively about our customer acquisition strategy then be highly analytical about executing on it.
* iOS Engineer. You’ll be responsible for building our mobile app from scratch, working closely with me on the design and with our web engineer on the backend. Prior experience building an iOS app is required.
* Full-stack Web Engineer. You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site from me, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. You need to be comfortable with Python, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have an interest in design.
StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.
We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the core team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.
You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before. All roles require 3-5 years of experience.
If you're interested, I'd be happy to tell you more. Email your resume to [email protected], I can't wait to hear from you!
