Electronic Frontier Foundation - https://eff.org - San Francisco, CA - Frontend/Backend Developers, Technoactivist
The EFF fights for an Internet free of surveillance and censorship.
We're currently hiring frontend and backend web developers: https://www.eff.org/opportunities/jobs/web-developer
We're also hiring a Technoactivist who'll bridge the technology and activism teams: https://www.eff.org/opportunities/jobs/eff-seeks-techno-acti...
If you think you might be a fit for either role, take a moment and get in touch.
A small sample of projects our technology and activism teams have worked on in the last year:
- Launched numerous projects including LetsEncrypt.org, Privacy Badger, Surveillance Self-Defense, DearFCC.org, The Day We Fight Back, Trolling Effects, Tor Challenge and others.
- Worked with over 100 volunteer developers to crowdsource and populate contact-congress, an open dataset describing the contact forms of members of congress.
- Created and open-sourced congress-forms: a delivery mechanism for sending emails to congress based on the open data we crowdsourced.
- Created a new (and soon-to-be open source) activism platform that’s currently live at act.eff.org.
- Launched a preview version of our OpenWireless open source router firmware.

Dear employers, please stop mentioning 'remote' unless a) you're OK with r-emote employees, or b) your business is all about about disrupting "r-emote controls", innovating "r-emote assistance" or something like that.
If your posting doesn't include it we'll assume it's not allowed, and you're well within your rights to toss out any application that does request it. Look at it as the easiest filter you'll ever find for resumes. If you really feel need to stress that the job isn't for r-emote workers just say 'LOCAL ONLY' or something like that. Pretty please?
@_whoishiring could you add something to that effect to the monthly post?

Scalyr - Frontend, Backend, Devops Engineers - San Francisco Peninsula - $110k-$150k+, >1% equity
Hi, I’m Steve Newman. You might remember me from such HN posts as "Searching 20 GB/sec" and "EC2 I/O".
We're rebuilding server and log monitoring from the ground up, bringing Google Search levels of power and responsiveness to operations visibility. We have a small, tight team (lots of room for personal growth), traction, plenty of runway, a low-stress culture, and lots of meaty problems to tackle. Be part of an awesome founding team (including the cofounder / lead engineer from Writely -- now Google Docs). We’re aiming high, rethinking everything from how logs are stored to how engineers interact with their tools. Come help us figure it out!
https://www.scalyr.com/jobs, or I'd love to hear from you personally (contact info in my profile).

I'm part of a small team of expats from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix healthcare.gov. (Mostly Stanford, Google, YCombinator folks) We've learned a ton, and see an opportunity to create software that radically improves how our government serves its people - we've started our company, Nava, to chase that vision.
In the last 6 months, we've launched 2 major projects:
- App 2.0, the new insurance application for healthcare.gov. It's processing 70% of apps coming through the marketplace, and: converts 35% more people than the old app, gets them through in half the time, is mobile-friendly (20% of apps), sits on robust, scalable infrastructure, etc etc. It was the first system that CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service) ever hosted on Amazon AWS.
- Scalable Login System (SLS), the new identity management system for healthcare.gov. Sadly, the main achievement here is that the system is actually up and available, unlike its predecessor. It's now saving the taxpayer $70M in annual maintenance costs.
Here's a Wired article from last summer about us: http://www.wired.com/2014/06/healthcare-gov-revamp/
Our momentum is strong, the problem is important, and we're looking for good people.
If you're the type that would get fired up about reimagining broken government experiences and technology, please drop us a line at [email protected], we'd love to hear from you!

Our current server is in Python, using Django, hosted on AWS, and is open source: https://github.com/Cbsoftware/PressureNet-server
You will have the freedom to choose new technology if you see fit. Eventually, you will also work with our Numerical Weather Prediction team to take the data you've processed and input it to high-resolution weather models. Machine learning experience would be helpful.
Equity: ~10%
Salary: TBD
Remote work possible.

https://webflow.com (YC S13) - San Francisco, CA - VISA OK, REMOTE could be an option. Salaries range from $70K to $140K depending on experience and location.
At Webflow, we're building software to give superpowers to the 99.75% of the world that doesn't know how to code. We push the boundaries of what's possible in a browser-based app, and have tons of interesting (and hard!) engineering and design challenges yet to solve.
We're hiring exceptional people across the board, including front-end engineers, back-end engineers, product designers, devops, sales, and customer success.
Our hiring process is super simple and fast - Skype chat with the CEO, then set up a short-term (2-4 days) paid contract at a fair hourly rate to work on a real project that you ship to production, then we fly you out to meet the team, and make a decision right away.
If you like what we're doing at Webflow, and you can see clearly see yourself contributing in a meaningful way, please shoot me an email to [email protected] so we can get started! Instead of the usual resume/CV application rigamarole, let's just start with a Skype chat instead :)

CloudFlare is building the next generation network edge, in the cloud, for security, performance, monitoring, and control of web traffic.
We started the year at ~128 and are looking to double in size in 2015. Still early enough to make a difference, but we're now big enough that the difference you make will affect a large number of customers on day one, including Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Exchange, basically every bitcoin or torrent site ever, and 2M more.
We're engineering driven, and have been great at solving hard engineering challenges (we've got nginx core team, some deep kernel tap knowledge, and insane levels of performance optimization up and down the stack), but we're hiring across the company:
In addition to always looking for great systems engineers, SREs, and network engineers, we're particularly interested in exceptionally strong web front end developers, Postgres database expertise, and enterprise sales/sales engineers.
https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team
Things we particularly value are a drive to complete projects, deep technical curiosity, and an interest in fixing the Internet.

We're making a desktop laser cutter/engraver: a magic box that makes beautiful products.
CNC lasers have been around since the 80s but innovation's been at a standstill. We're driving the price of the hardware down 5x and building a cloud backend that does motion planning and machine vision to make it dead simple to use. Push a button, out come flat-pack wallets, lamps, board games, and anything else you can dream up.
We're up in Seattle, funded, and have 8 employees including 3 founders who've manufactured hardware, sold companies, graduated YC, and built profitable businesses. Check out this article about us:

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 to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We compute sophisticated statistics on the fly, and building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by the entire marketing team, and we need your help to build new statistical models, build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.
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].

Nod Labs - http://nod.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, no remote work.
We believe our motion and gesture technology will fundamentally change how we interact with computers and our environment. We have built the first and only pixel accurate gestural control device, and we are just getting started.
Yourself: Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be hacking on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals. For what we do, Google may not have all the answers to your questions, github may not have any such sample code and Stackoverflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies, but you will be responsible for solving the problem.
We are currently looking for a) Embedded SW Engineer b) Game developer with Unity/Unreal experience. Motion Capture pipeline would be a plus. c) Mobile developer who can architect and build great multi-platform SDKs (think Unity, Parse etc) d) Web Frontend developer. Build what is next for nod.com
Team: ex-(Apple, Blackberry, Facebook, Google, Jawbone, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS) from MIT, Stanford, CMU etc.
Drop us an email at [email protected]
