FlightCar - Lead Front-end Developer - Boston/Cambridge, MA

FlightCar is the world's first p2p car sharing company to operate at the airport. We're a YC company that's raised $6m+ in funding.

We give travelers free airport parking by renting out their cars to others. Everything's insured up to $1m. We're funded by General Catalyst, Softbank Capital, Brian Chesky, Ryan Seacrest, and others.

We're looking for a Lead Front-end Developer. You'll be developing our desktop and mobile sites as well as internal tools. As the front end lead, you'll have the choice of which technologies to call on for projects. Currently we have a Django-backed site, and want to expand our front end work.

About our dev team: We all enjoy teaching and learning, and do things like build telepresence devices together: http://blog.printf.net/articles/2014/03/18/a-robot-for-timo/

Responsibilities:

- develop new and existing features for our current consumer site, which uses Django templates and Bootstrap.

- create new customer-facing and internal services using the front end framework of your choice -- we're a small team and you'll be able to forge our architecture from the ground up.

- layout user interfaces using FlightCar's current design language.

Qualifications:

- comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment

- have solid understanding of HTML5 and CSS3

- knowledge of mobile web constraints and ways to optimize for them

- knowledge of jQuery and JavaScript, preferably including significant work with a modern client-side framework such as Ember/Angular.

- a desire to complement the backend team by exploring server-side JS applications with node.js (or if you're daring, Meteor).

- have a strong sense of UX best practices

- knowledge of Google Analytics or other analytics software is a huge plus

- love simple design and bright colors

This role will be on-site in our Cambridge office. If you're interested, please email chris@flightcar.com. Thanks!

Can you put this in your README?

Side question: says the tool is meant to send "html emails"; can it not also just do string replacement in any composed mail message, like a multiple MIME-part mail message that's composed by some other tool?
If there was a way to tell Chrome "Share this website on Skype to this person" or "Send this to this-or-that IRC channel" I would never care about the URL.

Noom - NYC (Chelsea)

Noom is a health and wellness software company building mobile applications that have been downloaded over 20 million times worldwide. The company is fully committed to creating beautiful and functional products that enable users to live better and healthier lives. Noom’s headquarters is a spacious and bright gallery building in Chelsea, where ‘Noomers’ enjoy free daily gourmet lunches prepared by their in-house chef. Noom recently received a significant investment round and needs to expand their engineering team.

Noom’s Engineering Culture

Noom engineers are expected to contribute to a variety of projects, so it is not uncommon to work on the iOS or Android clients one week and the Python and Tomcat servers the next. Engineering efforts are broken into missions that generally last 4-6 months, with teams that may include cross-functional members from product and design. Once a mission is complete, engineers transition to a new mission which is likely to include an entirely new set of technologies. Noom practices include continuous build process, regular code reviews, and weekly deployments. Noom engineering moves fast – this means they always use the best tools for the job, or build them if necessary.

Their stack includes Nginx, Spring MVC, mySQL, and MongoDB for web and a hybrid approach with native Android and iOS SDK’s in Java and Objective-C mixed with HTML5 where appropriate.

The company is currently seeking Senior Engineers as well as Senior Designers (for both web and mobile).

Noom is a close group with a family feel. All Noomers receive 100% company-paid health insurance, $200 monthly health and wellness stipends, and a $700 annual gadget budget. The company offers flexible work schedules, stock options, competitive salaries, substantial paid time-off, and the opportunity to work with a skilled team making a difference. The company was named by Crain’s New York as a Best Place to Work in 2013.

Am I correct in noting that none of his benchmarks actually timed how long it took for the data to be durably committed to disk, to the limit that the OS can report that?

I would never do XFS benchmarks because in my experience if XFS is writing during powerdown, it trashses the FS (maybe this was fixed in the past 6 years, but after it happened 3 times I haven't touched the OS again).

It looks slick but it asks you to sign up before you can try it. For me this is immediately offputting and I won't be bothering. All I wanted was to play with it a little bit.

I'm especially interested in Javascript autocompletion but from docs it seems comprehensive autocomplete is coming in the future [1].

Is the error reporting improved for 0.3? That was my main problem with 0.2 (on linux). I ran into situations where all I knew was that something went wrong somewhere in my program. I've seen other people make similar comments.

(Aside from that I really love the language, and I'm looking forward to doing more with it.)
I think that if it makes a few things easier (even if you don't wear it all day)(e.g. cooking, travelling, driving) people would be willing to spend $150-200 on it. Then hopefully with more real world use Google can make it a more indispensable device that fits a lot more needs.
Congratulations, great idea and (it looks like) great execution!

Now you need to enter the game into festivals, drum up PR, conduct interviews. By publishing to a Steam first, you will also have a hard time getting on XBLA, if you were interested in that--a shame, because this game looks like a perfect fit. Maybe PSN?

FortyTwo — Mountain View, CA — Frontend / mobile / backend (H1B okay, read below)

Hi all, I'm Andrew from FortyTwo. We're a well-funded Series A startup (~10 engineers) in Mountain View building https://www.kifi.com/. It's a lot more than a bookmarking service: we're building a search engine and content discovery system that blows away what's out there by letting you organize everything super easily, while not asking you to change your searching habits. We have a product that we love, and have lots to do still.

Right now, we're looking hard for:

• Frontend - we're building a cross-browser browser extension and a site using AngularJS. Ideal candidate is very comfortable with JavaScript, at least one backend (non-JS) language, and has used a thick-client MV* style framework. Full description is here: http://www.42go.com/frontend.html

• Mobile - we're building an iOS client as well as starting an Android client. Ideal candidate has experience releasing consumer mobile products, and has strong engineering skills to make an efficient and pleasant-to-use app. More here: http://www.42go.com/mobile.html

• Backend / Full stack - we use Scala, Play!, and Akka to build a highly-available, reactive backend to serve our clients. Ideal candidate has experience on the JVM, functional programming, and continuous deployment. More here: http://www.42go.com/join_us.html#backend

We blog at http://eng.42go.com, so check out some of the stuff we're working on. We're okay to sponsor H1Bs, but prefer Bay Area candidates already so we can move faster. To apply, email towel@42go.com with your resume/github/LinkedIn.
Use React and you get the best of both worlds. React supports server-side rendering.

Apps built with Angular or Ember have major issues with SEO. They'll have to resort to using something like PhantomJS to prerender their HTML. This is not a trivial bit of engineering.

"Diamond's ignition point is 720 – 800 °C in oxygen and 850 – 1,000 °C in air."

Graphite will burn at around 1,000 Celsius as well, I would assume that graphene (which is really thin graphite) would do the same.
This is a shame, and I speak as somebody who really enjoys a good road trip. Cars, when used as a primary (not supplementary) means of transport, are an utter menace to walkers, cyclists, and as we've established, people who breathe air. Maybe I'm biased since I was a bicyclist in LA for 18 months, but they destroy cities, kill people in droves, and of course aren't great for Earth. Nevermind the fact that walkers, cyclists, and public transportation users now have to cross much farther distances because two thirds of the land in that godforsaken hellhole is auto infrastructure, or subsidize automobile ownership with taxes that support street parking and parking minimums making it illegal to open a restaurant or build an apartment building without OCEANS of parking because the local NIMBY's complain about how they might have less convenient access to unlimited, taxpayer-subsidized automobile storage.

Anyway, back to graphene. As amazing as these materials sound I worry greatly about their environmental impact. What do you do when your lungs are full of graphene? Your blood stream? It seems unlikely the liver is well-suited to removing it from the body.

The USAF has a history of relying solely upon firms that they have bid out to in the past. There's some logic to this (military technology should be reliable and sourced to trusted parties, so companies that have already proven reliability and have a pre-existing trust relationship have a massive advantage).

But if you look at that scenario and smell the possibility for corruption, you're probably not wrong. ;)
