Our work is guided by the following principles:
Design: Product experiences should not just be beautiful on the surface but thoughtfully designed to be simple and enjoyable.
Reliability: Customers will not trust an unreliable service. It is our responsibility to create robust implementations, development processes and infrastructure to provide a stable service. Code is thoroughly reviewed and tested so we can quickly and confidently make changes while minimizing risk.
Pragmatism: There is never a shortage of things to do. We emphasize identifying root causes of problems, while separating what must be done now and what should be improved later.

I've designed a promising new web-based educational application that's ready to be developed. I'm looking for a Rails developer to bring it to life. This is a private software project that's being funded with private money—my own. I'm an individual, not a company, so you'll deal directly with me. This is a passion that could turn into something more. I'm looking for someone who's equally passionate about the work they do.
I'm located in Scarsdale, NY. It's not necessary that you live nearby. It's all about the quality of your work and what you bring to the table.

Babylon Technology is currently me, a handful of freelancers, and more work on more interesting development projects than we can handle. I’m looking for employee #2 (and likely #3).

We have web applications in all sorts of industries: ticket scanning/purchasing, social gambling, dog walking, CRM, inventory scanning, and invoicing/time tracking, to name a few. Most projects also include mobile apps and lots of e-commerce.

Why else? We offer an extensive benefits package for all full-time employees, including medical, dental, vision and 401k!
And . . . we're hiring like crazy right now and looking for smart,
forward-thinking problem solvers to join our world-class and fairly
wacky team.
Oh, and one more thing! Cover letters are cool, but
do you know what’s even cooler?! Show us who you are with a cover
letter VIDEO! You will be able to upload one when applying for this
position. (Video cover letters are not required, but if you wanna do
one, we wanna see it!)
We're Zappos Labs, and you can think of us as the San Francisco-based research and development arm of Zappos.com. Our mission is to create the future of e-commerce, and we're looking for a new member of our close-knit team of developers.
Why you want to work for Zappos Labs
- Labs
developers have a great deal of flexibility to choose the projects they
work on, explore their ideas, and design new projects.
- We
encourage growth and learning (it's one of our core values!) Developers
are encouraged to attend conferences, learn new technologies, and
develop their skills.

Summary of the Role The Senior Developer is an integral part of a team developing innovative applications with a focus on fashion and retail.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities range from team "ideation" to hands-on implementation
of projects at different levels of the stack as needed. Typical projects

Developer must be willing and able to take on a variety of these tasks
over the course of changing projects and office initiatives. Adapt and
thrive!
Requirements We are looking for
"T-shaped developers"—people who have a broad interest and understanding
of technology and the web, but also have deep knowledge of a
specialized area. We want someone who fits most (or ALL!) of these
bullet points:
- A strong knowledge of many (not necessarily
all) of these technologies: Ruby/Ruby on Rails, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript,
relational and NoSQL databases, Amazon Web Services. Java and
iOS/Objective-C/Cocoa for mobile development and "big data" skills are
plusses.
- Solid grasp of good object-oriented, asynchronous, and
other advanced programming concepts, such as queuing, threading, and
map-reduce.
- Experience and passion for agile development ideas: scrum, test/behavior-driven development, code-evaluate-iterate.
- The drive and open-mind to learn and adopt new skills continually.
- A few side projects and ideas for side projects you haven't started yet.
- An open-mind and personable disposition. You like to collaborate and can give and take constructive criticism cheerfully.
- A strong interest in the fashion and online retail markets would add to the fit. Get it? Fashion? Fit? Oh, yes, I did.
In addition, we have a few other quirky perks:
- Free travel to Las Vegas, several times per year.
- Shiny Mac-based development environment.
- A regularly stocked kitchen including a too-fancy espresso machine!
- Movie nights in our office theater space.
- Ergonomic work areas and a real respect for work–life balance.

We're looking for Ruby on Rails developers to help expand our product line, improve our existing products and help build the next generation of Litmus tools.

We're happy to introduce you to the plethora of other technologies we use.
Here’s what some of our 17 person crew have to say about Litmus:
“Everyone. Gives. A. Shit. (about the tech, the products, the customers, each other). Trust and ownership are important here. We build products that scratch our own itch. We experiment, we celebrate (big things (like throwing a launch party), and small (beers at the end of the week)). Oh, and there’s no red tape, bullshit posturing, timecards or org charts!”
Eddie, Ruby Developer
“Aside from software architecture and syntax, there hasn’t been a task that I have begun that I have known how to do. It is a constant learning experience and we often times find ourselves building things that have never been built before.”
Justin, C# Developer
“We’re in charge of our own future and aren’t beholden by a board, investors or anyone else. I feel like the people I work for care more for our customers and their employees than most other companies do.”
Justine, Marketing
“Super cool office! – Our office is amazing and we do a lot of cool things here. Kinect + beer fridays + fun :) It’s also easy to get to and a great location.”
Danielle, Support
“The "founders” are in the thick of it. Also, the collective responsibility, I feel like I could rely on any team member for help.“
James, Account Manager
If you live near Cambridge then we’d love to welcome you to the office, if you want to relocate to beautiful Boston then that’s wonderful as well (provided you can already legally work in the USA). If you don’t live nearby then that’s ok too. We already have remote members of the team and are happy to speak to great programmers wherever they are in the world.

At Mosaik we believe that healthy teams are comprised of happy people that all have something exceptional and unique to bring to the table. At this point in our growth we’re looking for a leader that loves to teach, to help solve architectural grade problems, and to help set the bar for technical prowess. We don’t care if you’re experienced with our specific technologies, we just expect that you’re the kind of person that not too long from now you’ll know more about all of them than anyone else.
Our software engineering team has been empowered to build the right foundations with the right tools to get the business in a position to excel at ad-hoc distributed geoprocessing and data visualization.

Want to hear what problems we have that are worth solving?
Here at Mosaik Solutions we’re building a platform for making sense of everyone’s big geospatial datasets. For nearly twenty-five years we’ve been collecting all of the world’s cell coverage information, but for the last three we’ve transformed our business into a full blown software engineering and data visualization shop.
Our mission is to provide our clients with quality solutions to their big geospatial data analysis and visualization needs whether they want the raw data analyses, an API, a beautiful infographic, or full blown custom applications that leverage our data, or theirs.
Let’s take a tour of the technologies we’ve deemed necessary thus far:
•Ruby and Python for the majority of our services. C where it matters.
•Amazon EC2 for our production infrastructure
•Eucalyptus and Vagrant for our staging and development infrastructure
•Chef for tying everything together with configuration management
•Backbone, D3, Bootstrap, and jQuery for building visualization software in the browser.
•PostGIS, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Redis for various needs in our data storage and geospatial analysis services.
•OpenLayers, Varnish, a heavily optimized TileCache, MapServer, and Mapnik stack for custom slippy maps with our own aggressive rendering and caching architecture.
•Logstash and Graphite for immediate vision into what’s happening across the architecture in production.
What’s in it for you?
•Stable growing company, great benefits.
•Badminton court with multiple daily pickup games and ongoing scrabble tournaments.
•Powerful workstations, multiple monitors, an entire room full of whiteboards... all in a beautiful new office with a relaxing open environment.
•Technical freedom, culture of trust, exceptional peers, and understanding managers.
•Relocation assistance, if needed.
Bonus points if you...
•Can speak intelligently about HTTP and the many ways in which caching can be advantageous.
•Understand distributed systems jargon such as eventual consistency, the cap theorem, or paxos.
•Have experience working with data analysis, frontend work, and backend work.
•Understand computers well enough to take any slow piece of code and make it scream.
•Explain why certain programming languages thrive with constructs such as closures, structural typing, type classes, function composition, actors, event loops, or coroutines.
•Have previously been a part of a team that has scaled software to billions of requests a year.
•Are human, compassionate, driven, and focused.
If you think this sounds like you (or the person you’re destined to become!), send with your resume, a short letter, and anything else that would help us understand why you’re so awesome that we should hire you post haste.

AppNexus: Senior UI Engineer
San Francisco, CA
Location: San Francisco, CA
URL: www.appnexus.com
The AppNexus Discovery Team in San Francisco will be building a new client-facing product from the ground up. Our challenge is building an intuitive and simple interface to automate and streamline complex business and interaction processes. Our clients need front-end applications that enable them to easily operate and expand their business and efficiently buy and sell online advertising inventory with speed and confidence. Equally important is our visualization of our clients’ data, displaying everything they need to see in order to understand how their business is performing and where changes could be made to help them better perform. We work closely with our User Experience team, intelligently designing every feature of our new product.
Consider some sample problems:
• Permissions-based UI: How do we build a dynamic UI that appears as a custom product for each client?
• Multiple, complex client needs: How do we design the UI to be simple and uncluttered while tailoring it to meet each unique client’s complex and diverse business needs? Our challenge is to create interfaces that are intuitive for first time users and yet allows “power users” to control (even micromanage) their businesses.
The most exciting part about working at AppNexus is the enormous potential for personal and professional growth. We operate in a continuous release cycle with 99.96% uptime, meaning new features are added weekly without ever taking our systems completely offline. By the end of your first day, you are committing code to mainline branch. Within weeks you own a component of a system. We have too many large problems not to trust new developers with enormous responsibility. Join our team, and you have the opportunity to redefine an industry.
What we look for:
1. You want to be part of an organization with minimal bureaucracy and a clear communication path between your team and the CEO where you can communicate freely and openly.
2. You have a passion for web development that manifests itself as a proven history (3+ years) of successful projects and the ability to write fast, accurate, scalable code.
3. You are hungry to build complex and dynamic web experiences and have experience with dynamic frameworks like AngularJS, BackboneJS, or KnockoutJS.
4. You write blazing fast, reusable JavaScript and obsess over page generation and rendering times.
5. You have knowledge of server-side scripting languages, have experience consuming APIs, and have an opinion on when to do things client-side versus server-side.
6. You are comfortable developing under the MVVM paradigm and have experience with agile development processes.
7. You look for novel and creative solutions to complex problems.
8. You are an independent thinker who is self-motivated and thrives in a fast-paced work environment.
What's in it for you:
1. Industry changing work – build bold solutions to some of today’s most exciting technical challenges
2. Significant impact from your very first day thanks to our rapidly growing scale and agile engineering teams.
3. Locations around the world: Manhattan, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, London, Paris, Hamburg, and Israel.
4. Regular access to industry events - AppNexus hosts many technical meetups and speakers - why trek across town to get to a tech meetup when it can be a few steps from your desk complete with free beer and pizza?
5. And of course, competitive compensation, relocation stipend and all visa costs covered (if needed).
6. Because our CEO is an industry recognized developer in his own right, your contributions to the company are recognized and rewarded.
7. We are a technology company at heart. Our founders can hold their own in architecture discussions with the team. Our CEO even checks-in bug fixes to the ad server codebase on occasion.
The Other Perks:
• Great Technology: Any computer of your choosing. Most of our team develop using retina displayed MacBook Pros, with multiple monitors for additional screen real estate.
• Free Food: Every office has fully stocked kitchens including healthy and tasty snacks, drinks, coffee and bagels, each morning. Family Lunch Fridays – AppNexus provides free lunch for the company every Friday.
• Career Development: Annual budget for conferences and continuing education of your choosing.
• An Active Development Community: Participate in company sponsored Hackathons, Innovation days and events.
• Speak, Publish, and Patent: Your groundbreaking work will help enhance the engineering brand at an emerging powerhouse technology company.

You live at the intersection of stories and code. You're most comfortable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but if you have to make something in Xcode you'll make it happen or you'll figure it out. You care about everything with your name on it being pixel perfect for no other reason than it just has to. You love backend technologies and when someone says "we should build this node/unix/mongo" you say "that would be awesome, but before we do that, why?" Any language, any stack, anytime as long as it's the right one.

OpenGovernment.org: Rails Programmer
Anywhere
Location: Anywhere
URL: http://www.opengovernment.org/home
Help us build our open-source web app: OpenGovernment.org. It's like a version of the "We The People" petition platform - for all 50 U.S. states and thousands of U.S. city governments.
We're looking for a Rails programmer on contract for 4-6 weeks. A great public-benefit gig for a site that's free and open to everyone. Towards a more transparent and accountable government at every level.
The Participatory Politics Foundation develops OpenGovernment.org - we're a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to increase civic engagement. (Our flagship project is OpenCongress.org, with up to one million visits per month tracking bills & issues in the U.S. Congress.)
Our next major project, OpenGovernment.org, brings the popular OpenCongress model to state legislatures and especially to city-level government. Initially launched in 2011 as an open-data public resource, we've overhauled "OG" to emphasize more than just access to official government information - now we've foregrounded unique question-and-answer features.
We're a small development team, working remotely ::
- David Moore of PPF as product manager & outreach coordinator
- James McKinney of the Canadian non-profit Open North as technical lead
- Steven Trevathan & Logan Faerber of Dobot LLC as front-end developers & designers
... our development work is funded by a charitable grant from the Knight Foundation's tech 4 engagement initiative. We're aiming to re-launch the site publicly in the next couple months.
OpenGovernment.org is primarily a Ruby on Rails app with a MongoDB database. Some data collection is done using Python and PostGIS. The app has some frontend JavaScript and integrates with a variety of APIs and services, such as DocumentCloud. We use Git and GitHub.
Along the way, you'll be able to build on interesting work like the Popolo Project, an open standard for city government data that James is leading in community iteration; and the Democracy Map API, an in-development project providing structured data for every government body & elected official in the U.S. As well as OG's user-focused, responsive web design.
We're looking for someone to start immediately - just send along a link to your GitHub account, and a few sentences about why you're interested in working on OG. No need to type at length, just be in touch, we're easy to reach.
There is the possibility of staying on with OpenGovernment after the six-week contract, as either full-time or part-time programming support, but it's not required. Help us get this attractive re-design out into the wild, for bottom-up government accountability and community empowerment.
More info & background on what we're building and to see screenshots of our nice site design, see our NewsChallenge application ::
To apply: Send a link to your GitHub account to david@ppolitics.org and james@opennorth.ca.

Logik: Software Engineer - Backend (no ninjas)
Washington, DC
Location: Washington, DC
URL: http://www.logik.com
Title: Software Engineer - Backend
Location: DC or remote for just the right person
This is not a job for ninjas, samurai, or rockstars. If you're looking to spend your time writing code for daily deals, likes, follows, or photo manipulation filters this is not the job for you.
However, if you're a humble, hard-working, code-hustler interested in the same technologies these large consumer apps are using (Mongo, Redis, Ruby, etc.), but don't want to be just another cog in their machines, this could be the job for you.
Still here? Ok, lets get to the details...
We've built our own cloud infrastructure at Logikcull.com--this is not AWS. We're old school. We build and configure our own servers. Why? Because what we do demands it. We're not asking you to build these servers--although there's ample opportunity for that--but we are asking you to help make Logikcull purr on them. Logikcull is a Rails front-end and Ruby back-end with all sorts of interconnecting parts you'll love playing with (Redis, Mongo, distributed Lucene, etc.).
Like BIG data? Yeah, we've got that too. Imagine a user uploading an entire hard drive worth of documents and email. That's what people do in Logikcull every day. It's crazy, we know, but that's what eDiscovery is all about: sifting through enormous amounts of mostly unknown documents. Logikculls job is to make this whole process fast, painless, and organized, which requires a large and highly distributed back-end infrastructure. Just imagine what you could do with all that data, mmmmmmm....data...
Wipe that drool from your chin. We know, it gets us excited too! It's part of the reason we get out of bed every morning. It's a massive, dynamic challenge and it's getting exponentially more complex and interesting every day.
But here's the deal. We're not only solving huge technical challenges that only a handful of companies are even attempting right now, we're also making a major difference in the world. We've democratized eDiscovery for everyone. What we've built was once available to only the richest of companies and law firms. Now, anyone can do it. We've leveled the field of play and that makes us happy.
Plus, we make money. Real money! Logikcull is a SaaS app and our customers pay us to use it, either a-la-carte or by subscription. We're also a good group of people you'll enjoy spending time with and we maintain a positive, relaxed culture that fosters collaboration and innovation.
If this sounds like the kind of job you'd like to get involved in let us know. Send us an email telling us why that is.
You must have...
* Extensive knowledge of Ruby
* Prior experience building a distributed app
* Ability to quickly get up to speed with a large codebase
* A team-oriented personality and a love of pairing
* Commitment to ship despite new requirements or constraints
* A good to halfway decent sense of humor
* Git source code experience
Nice to have...
* MongoDB experience
* Rails and Javascript experience
* Massive computing infrastructure experience
* Lucene search experience
* Open source contributor
* Github portfolio
Perks and comp...
* Competitive base salary
* Quarterly bonus system
* Expense account
* Health, dental, and vision
* Relaxed working environment
* Work with an amazing team
* Metro travel subsidy
* Stock options
* 401K with matching
* Friday company lunches

GoHealth is a great place to work.

GoHealth is also celebrated as one of Inc. 500’s Fastest Growing Software Companies in America. But don’t let our awards do the talking for us... Here’s why GoHealth is an awesome place to work:
- Super casual & super fun “non-corporate” environment
- Unlimited paid vacation days
- Flexible work schedule
- Flex Fridays
- Great health and wellness benefits
- Gym membership subsidy

- Be able to work on a team, independently when necessary, to escalate problems when appropriate, and to thrive in a successful small business environment.

What We Offer:
- Very competitive salary/ options package
- Flexible work hours
- Fun, Easy going work culture (ping pong happens daily)
- Chance to help create and establish a start-up that is backed by four highly-respected venture capital firms – 500 Startups, New World Ventures (The Pritzkers), OCA and Lightbank, the $200 million fund started by the founders of Groupon
- 401k, paid time-off, casual dress code
- Medical, dental and vision coverage
- Entrepreneurial work environment – you’ll be in the company of several other high-growth start-ups working out of Lightbank’s offices in River North

Relay GSE: Developer
New York, New York
Location: New York, New York
URL: relay.edu
Your next great EdTech opportunity is here...
Relay Graduate School of Education, based in the Flatiron neighborhood of New
York, is looking for a developer to join our core technical team.
In support of Relay’s ongoing expansion, we continue to improve
our program, learning platform, student information systems, and on-line video
assets. We are integrating the best innovations across education technology
(“EdTech”) as we re-imagine both online learning and in-person teacher
training. Technology is a critical strategic lever to achieve Relay GSE’s
vision to serve a broader audience of teachers and extend our reach to new
schools and students. This position will put you squarely in the middle of the
revolution in education technology and education reform more broadly.
THE ROLE
As a core member of our development team you will spend
approximately 55% of your time on front-end development (HTML, JavaScript/JQuery,
CSS) and 45% of your time working to enhance the back-end PHP-based learning
management system, as well as other applications we use to manage student
information, admissions, financial aid, etc.
On the front-end, we need to build intuitive user experiences that
complement our hybrid instructional approach, which is about a 40/60 mix of
on-line to classroom time. A priority of ours in the coming year is to embrace
adaptive design principles as we enable our applications for delivery through
mobile devices, especially tablets. In this role you’ll be expected to help
turn designs into user interfaces using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that account
for the back-end “hooks” developed in PHP.
We’ll also expect you to spend some of your time developing the
back-end itself, specifically working on PHP code built on the Symfony
framework, which is the foundation for our “Course Platform” (“CP”). The CP is our
learning management system that powers both our on-line and in-person
education. In addition, you’ll work with our MySQL databases that power the
back-end.
Some of the challenges you’ll be taking on include:
·
Developing a mechanism by which we can
better track the progress of our graduate students’ own public school students.
Measuring student achievement is a key part of our approach and we need to
improve the way by which we do this.
·
Preparing for our expansion nationally
and launching new Relay GSE programs. We need to develop and extend our CP and
backend systems to better handle a variety of education programs.
·
Improving the flow of information and
data within and among systems, both within Relay GSE and externally. We need to
take more of a “data-first” approach to our application development, which in
turn will allow us to improve our ability to develop insights based on our
data.
·
Improving our code base to make it
further compliant with MVC design patterns for PHP and Symfony; developing new
RESTful APIs for our LMS applications; abstracting our code base to make it
more modular and flexible as Relay launches new programs into new geographies
This position is contract to hire — our expectation is that the
right candidate will excel at Relay GSE and we will
convert the role into a full time employee position within 6-9 months.
OUR TEAM
We currently have nimble product and technology teams that include
a full-time developer, a full-time product manager, several full-time
technology generalists, two full-time technology infrastructure specialists,
and other colleagues with expertise in online learning, media production, and
K-12 and graduate schools.
QUALIFICATIONS
Requirements
·
HTML, including HTML5
·
Client-side JavaScript & JQuery
·
CSS
·
PHP (PHP 5.3)
·
LAMP Development, especially MySQL
experience
·
At least 2-3 years of relevant development
experience generally
Great-to-Have
·
Symfony 2 framework
·

·
Experience with both Adaptive and Responsive
Web Design principles
·
XP, Agile and generally iterative type
methodologies
·
Test Driven Development - Experience
developing test cases first, before development
·
Experience with LMS and/or SIS systems
·
Familiarity with the Microsoft suite –
MS SQL Server and InfoMaker in particular
·
Interest and passion for EdTech,
education, and helping teachers better teach public school students
·
Demonstrated experience with
envisioning and realizing web-based services that meet consumer needs and solve
business problems
·
A passion backed by knowledge of what it takes to create a compelling
user experience
·
An entrepreneurial spirit with the desire to individually own primary
responsibility for technology and collectively realize the vision of future
products
·
Comfortable learning and embracing new languages and frameworks
quickly; ability to help us assess where new technologies, languages, and
platforms may be things we should consider
·
Excellent communication skills to both technical and non-technical
audiences

Foraker Labs: Ruby on Rails Developer
Boulder, CO
Location: Boulder, CO
URL: http://www.foraker.com
We’re looking for someone with a passion for programming and for writing beautiful code. If you never think about code after 5:01pm, if you haven’t read a book about programming since you left school, or if you are not excited by the idea of a technical interview where we pepper you with questions about algorithms, please do not apply.
You should have significant experience with both Ruby and Rails development. Topics that we’d expect you to be able to talk intelligently about include: testing and TDD, the strengths and weaknesses of ActiveRecord, the pros and cons of REST, why skinny controllers and fat models are a Good Thing.
You should have significant database experience. ORM is great, but if you can’t also roll your own SQL, draw an ERD, and talk a bit about query optimization techniques then we might not be a great fit for each other.
You should have significant object-oriented programming experience. We’ll want you to be able to talk to us about inheritance and encapsulation and polymorphism (oh my!), the importance of names, and to be able to explain what the Single Responsibility Principle is and why it’s important.
We want folks who enjoy working in a fast-paced, creative environment. You’ll need to be able to demonstrate a capacity for learning new skills, a history of delivering work on time and on budget, and the ability to thrive under deadline pressure. You should also be comfortable diving into existing code and confidently deciding when and how to pragmatically refactor for optimal long-term value.
We’re looking for people who enjoy programming on-site in a close-knit team environment. We’re huge fans of pair programming, code reviews, and talking with each other every day about how to make our code just a little bit better. Exceptional communication skills, an eagerness to learn from others in an ego-free environment, and the ability to tolerate incessant movie quotes and really bad jokes are all essential.
What you'll get:
- You’ll get to work with a team of really smart, passionate people who build custom web applications for a diverse set of industries and clients.
- Relaxed, dog-friendly office in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
- Great work-life balance.
- Competitive base salary depending on experience.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance. 401k. Profit sharing.
To apply: Please write us a nice cover letter (yes, this is a test of your communication skills) and include other appropriate materials (e.g. code samples, GitHub repo, etc.) showcasing your experience, skills and passion in an email with [RAILS DEV] in the title

About Harvest
Harvest is one of the earliest Rails applications designed for businesses. We started as a team of 3, using Rails 0.14.1 (yes, we're now on Rails 3.2). Though we are expanding our team, we remain a small and focused company. Harvest is self-funded, profitable and has become an integral tool for tens of thousands of customers in over 150 countries. We write on
Harvest's engineering blog.
About You
You have written a lot of Ruby and Rails code. Teammates look at your code for examples of idiomatic and readable Ruby. You have written quite a bit of JavaScript and even a little CoffeeScript. You write clearly about technical subjects. No matter the language, grammar and style are important to you.

Litmus: Ruby Developer
Anywhere
Location: Anywhere
URL: http://litmus.com
We’re bootstrapped, profitable and proud. You’ll be working with our team of developers building cool stuff, with amazing people.
Here’s what some of our 17 person crew have to say about Litmus:
“Everyone. Gives. A. Shit. (about the tech, the products, the customers, each other). Trust and ownership are important here. We build products that scratch our own itch. We experiment, we celebrate (big things (like throwing a launch party), and small (beers at the end of the week)). Oh, and there’s no red tape, bullshit posturing, timecards or org charts!”
Eddie, Ruby Developer
“Aside from software architecture and syntax, there hasn’t been a task that I have begun that I have known how to do. It is a constant learning experience and we often times find ourselves building things that have never been built before.”
Justin, C# Developer
“We’re in charge of our own future and aren’t beholden by a board, investors or anyone else. I feel like the people I work for care more for our customers and their employees than most other companies do.”
Justine, Marketing
“Super cool office! – Our office is amazing and we do a lot of cool things here. Kinect + beer fridays + fun :) It’s also easy to get to and a great location.”
Danielle, Support
“The "founders” are in the thick of it. Also, the collective responsibility, I feel like I could rely on any team member for help.“
James, Account Manager
We offer everything you’d expect from a cutting edge, financially successful start up. Great salary, full health care benefits, 28 days paid vacation (yes, on top of public holidays!), beautiful office space complete with a Kinect, beer fridge and Sonos sound system. We also buy you lunch, every day.
You’ll be working with the very best money can buy: SSD drives, dual Apple Displays, Aeron chairs, huge desks, 10” tablets and whatever else you need to be awesome at what you do.
Did I mention our office? Seconds from the Central Square T in Cambridge, we have the 11th floor to ourselves. Stunning views, beautiful furniture and top of the line equipment. You have to see it; it’s stunning.
If you live near Cambridge then we’d love to welcome you to the office, if you want to relocate to beautiful Boston then that’s wonderful as well (provided you can already legally work in the USA). If you don’t live nearby then that’s ok too. We already have remote members of the team and are happy to speak to great programmers wherever they are in the world.
You should have a strong understanding of Ruby on Rails, we won’t limit to x years experience, but you should be able to impress us with your Ruby app building skills. We’re happy to introduce you to the plethora of other technologies we use.

Howcast: Full-Stack Rails Engineer
SoHo, NY, NY
Location: SoHo, NY, NY
URL: http://www.howcast.com
Role
You'll be joining a team of passionate, experienced, full-stack engineers responsible all of Howcast's products: our consumer video site, the #1 mobile app for instructional content, and the suite of internal products that allow us to produce high-quality content at scale. We’re building products to solve big problems in online video, such as: applying machine learning to Youtube and other datasets to identify high-performing how-to topics; creating tools to automatically produce video content from Flickr, Wikipedia, Freebase, Google Books, etc; and optimizing the distribution of hundreds of videos a month across dozens of different channels on Youtube and other partners. This year we’re also developing a new iOS app, several brand-new internal products, and an ongoing stream of A/B tests to continuously enhance our site. Whether you’re interested in high-traffic, consumer-facing sites or the meaty back-end infrastructure, we’ve got challenges you'll love to work on. Regardless of what you’re working on, you’ll always be deeply involved in the decisions that shape all our products and you'll collaborate with our data scientist, producers, marketing team, designer and product manager throughout the week.
Team
Howcast’s engineering team practices non-dogmatic agile development. We have weekly sprints, pair program, and usually release on a weekly basis. But we value being nimble and flexible over ritual adherence to process; sometimes pairing isn’t the best approach, and sometimes it’s best to release every other week. We keep our work schedules sustainable, so that we’re always fresh as daisies, and ready and able to make smart decisions. We also take having fun in the office very seriously.
Company
Howcast empowers people with engaging, useful how-to information wherever, whenever they need to know how. Led by a senior management team including Google and YouTube veterans with deep roots in traditional and new media as well as technology. Known for high-quality content, Howcast streams tens of millions of videos every month across its multi-platform distribution network. Approaching two million downloads across iPhone, iPad, Android, and BlackBerry phones, Howcast is the #1 mobile app for instructional content -- wherever you are.
What we're looking for
- Experience with at least one production-level, high-traffic web application
- Rails experience, (we’re starting to use 4 already)
- Experience with the latest front-end technologies, such as Haml, SCSS, and JavaScript and/or CoffeeScript.
- Understanding of scaling techniques such as caching, database query optimization, and asynchronous/background job queues
- Testing first, BDD/TDD. Mega points for RSpec
Bonus points for
- Writing a cross-domain JavaScript application
- Deep knowledge of HTTP (e.g., when to use what response codes, how cache headers work, etc.)
- Experience with MongoDB or any other NoSQL database.
- App deployment to the cloud (Amazon, Rackspace, Heroku, etc.)
- Knowledge of a non-Rails Ruby web framework, especially Sinatra
- Extensive experience with *nix
