Hi, I'm a tech recruiter for Rapid7. Below is a listing of our current openings in Cambridge, MA. If you're interested, you can reach me directly at samantha.oliver@rapid7.com.
Software Engineer II (mid level) (User Insight)
http://www.rapid7.com/company/jobs.jsp?gh_jid=90721
Full-stack Java, but interest in security or big data & experience with AWS, MongoDB (or any NoSQL database), and/or Cassandra is a huge plus.
Rapid7 is probably known best as the company behind Metasploit. While Rapid7 is a security company you will not have to be a security expert to work with us. See https://www.rapid7.com/company/jobs.jsp for the complete list of job openings.
We are looking for someone to join Platform Delivery, our version of SRE.
We are completely in AWS and are just in the process of proofing out k8s and just migrated to terraform from cloudformation. You work directly with the different teams and can have own significant pieces of our infrastructure. We use cassandra, rabbitmq, kafka, elk, chef, kong, emr etc.
If you are in the Boston area or interested in relocating to Cambridge, my company, HubSpot, is hiring. We're a late stage startup building an all-in-one marketing platform. You can watch our recruiting video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXOtTvb5OFE (yeah it's a bit corny, but it really is a cool place to work). Shoot me an email with your resume if you are interested (address in my profile). I'm one of engineering team leads, not a recruiter, so I will look at it directly, no hoops to jump through.
Rapid7 | Boston, MA / Austin, TX / US Timezone | Cloud Optimization Manager / Senior Software Engineer Cloud Optimization
Rapid7 is probably most well known for Metasploit but also develops various SaaS security software. All of our SaaS systems are hosted within AWS and we are starting a new team focused on improving the architecture of our software to be more effective and resilient. This is not your typical rightsizing, adding S3 lifecycle rules, managing reservations. This is a team which focuses on hard problems across on our data processing pipelines to make them more efficient.
You will be working across different product teams and collaborating both with engineering teams, finance and leadership to introduce changes and provide visibility.
You should have great Java knowledge and a good understanding of AWS (AWS pricing would be a plus).
Jobcase runs a set of job boards and a professional social network focused on the almost 3/4 of the country that doesn't have a four-year college degree. We're growing quickly, with 80MM registered members, and are mostly self-funded to 120+ employees, so we're highly focused on data-driven decisions and making smart capacity investments for the future. We're one of Boston Business Journal's Best Places to Work (again!).
Recruiting for multiple roles, especially:
Platform engineer - Build all our core systems (including interesting architecture/scaling problems), working on a well-documented code base in a team with a strong review culture and very clear communications. We use a Java/Hibernate stack; happy to get applications from people with experience in comparable technologies.
Engineering manager (front-end focus) - Lead a front-end engineering team working on member and employer applications (mostly in Ruby on Rails). Collaborate with product management and customer success teams, improve our development process, and build the careers and knowledge of your team of engineers.
Front-end engineer (especially principal/senior level) - Build all our member-facing applications including Jobcase.com, working mostly in Ruby on Rails. Drive the member experience for acquisition and social network features, working closely with product management and design/UX.
Quantitative data analyst - Own a slice of our business metrics and drive member acquisition and engagement. Send email/SMS communications, work with engineering to build new flows and features, and come up with experiments to optimize the member experience.
Data science / machine learning / information retrieval (experienced) - Help our members find relevant advice and jobs, and our colleagues make good decisions. Have a direct impact on revenue and on engagement, working with a team that's making major optimizations for our members and with colleagues who are uniformly data-savvy.
Interview process is a phone screen, then onsite interviews, with onsite design exercise and/or take-home coding/analysis exercise. Happy to answer questions, jberk at jobcase.com - my team works pretty closely with all of those teams.

http://www.smartleaf.com is a profitable, privately held 30-person financial SAAS company. We are looking for four software engineers for various positions in the company: one in QA, one in financial engineering, and two for application work. None of these positions require you to manage other people. All of them are up at http://www.smartleaf.com/about/careers for your perusal.
You should be clever, competent, and kind.
Experience requirements: fluency in two or more languages (the application is in C++ (back end) and Ruby on Rails (front end)). You don't need to know C++ or Ruby, but you'll need to learn them. Some people use R for the sorts of thing one uses R for; lots of our internal tools are written in Perl. You must have the ability and desire to track down complex problems and solve them, learning as you go. Strong written and verbal communications skills are essential.
Nice-to-haves include experience with databases (Oracle or PostgreSQL, especially) or data feed engineering or being particularly good at math.
Full-time, on-site positions with occasional telecommuting. Compensation includes salary, equity, 3-4 weeks of vacation, NYSE holidays, all insurance premiums, food, excellent coffee, and a collegial working environment.
An ex-employee described us as the most interesting group of people he had found outside of MIT. It probably helps if you're an SF fan. As this is HN, I shall shamelessly namedrop: our CTO is Mark Nitzberg, who was at ViaWeb with PG.
Cover letters and resumes to jobs@smartleaf.com; we prefer plain text or PDF. In your cover letter, please describe an interesting problem you have solved.

Hiring: Full Stack Engineer in Cambridge, MA for www.PrepScholar.com
- We're an education technology company based in Boston looking for good, all-around engineers working on both frontend and backend. You'll be creating new product features to improve our students' learning and create a compelling educational experience.
* About Us
- We’re making education more effective through customization. We learn the strengths and weaknesses of learners and create tailored learning programs through advanced statistics. We create compelling educational experiences for our students by truly understanding their problems. We’re starting off with test prep, a $4 billion+ industry, and want to expand to education at large.
- In addition to the founders, our company currently has two software engineers and seven instructors in a mixture of part-time and full time roles.
- We have over a thousand users and hundreds of paying customers and are growing quickly. We recently reached gross profitability.
- The founders are two Harvard/MIT grads who have started previous companies backed by Y Combinator and brought in over seven figures in revenue.
- We care about culture and a great work environment. We’re flexible with schedule, have efficient meetings, and want minimal hierarchy.
* We're Looking For
- Full stack development skills – you should have past experience on web backends (Django or similar, MySQL or similar) and frontends (JavaScript, HTML, CSS).
- Familiarity with web operations (Linux, Apache/nginx, AWS EC2) and our frontend stack (Backbone, SASS, Dust), and an eye for a design are large pluses.
- Willingness to try new things and pick up new technology quickly.
- We prefer an employee located in Massachusetts (we’re in Cambridge) or willing to RELOCATE (we will cover fees); however REMOTE working can be considered for strong candidates.
* Why Join Us?
- You’ll be a head engineer with an impact on company direction and culture. You’ll have the opportunity to lead the tech team and technical aspects of the company.
- We offer competitive market-rate pay with option for serious equity.
- Above all, you’ll be building something meaningful. Education is a linchpin of our country’s economy and empowers people to improve their own lives. For many reasons, education suffers throughout the country – class sizes too large, methods outdated, teachers underpaid. Here’s your chance to build a scalable solution that can disrupt education and leave a legacy.
* How to Apply
Send an email to jobs@prepscholar.com with your resume and cover letter. We'd love to see your work and personal projects, especially full-stack samples, so include any of these: your GitHub, project pages, or other portfolio.
We create software that helps businesses with their online marketing. The company is several hundred employees and nearing a hundred in engineering. Things are organized in small teams and you get to have a big impact. We were also named the #2 place in Massachusetts to work.
On the backend, we use Java (modern Java with DropWizard, Guice, and the like) and Python (Django). We love using JSON to get things done. For storage, there's HBase, Hadoop (for MapReduce jobs), MySQL, ZooKeeper, Redis, and Memcached. We do great monitoring and deploy hundreds of times a day. We use CI and have automated deployment. Don't expect your code to languish in git (we have GitHub Enterprise) for long.
On the front end, we use Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, and jQuery.
We're also looking for iOS and Android engineers.
Work schedule seems flexible (most engineers work 10-6), you get great equipment (like a Retina MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt display), and you get to make a meaningful difference in the product. There's free drinks (including beer), snacks, etc.
It's a great place to be and hope you come join us! We have lots of positions open.
Cogo Labs is a company that creates companies, kind of like an incubator with a twist: all of our ideas/startups come from within the company. We don't offer investment in outside startups. Thus far we have had two major ($100MM+) acquisitions, and a handful of smaller ones, and we are anticipating more in the near future. Typically, once a startup we are incubating gets off the ground, we hire employees into that startup and assist them with whatever they need to make the company successful. Cogo Labs itself has around 40 full-time employees now in our office in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA.
I'm looking for a software engineer or senior software engineer to join my team. You should have a degree in CS or a similar field, and experience developing for the web, as most of our startups are web properties. Specific experience in Ruby, Rails, and/or Python are a plus, but not absolutely necessary. I'm more concerned with finding smart people than finding people with specific skills.
I am currently developing new features for a web site that we run that gets >50k unique visitors per day, and you'd be assisting in this effort. I can be more specific if you're invited for an interview.
We are big on metrics and analysis -- there are grids of monitors (we call them "NOC walls") all over the office showing up-to-the-minute stats about all of our properties. I can code up a new feature, deploy it, and walk over to one of the NOC walls and literally watch my change affect traffic on the site, or revenue, or profit. It's a really fun place to work. Benefits and perks are great as well (see http://cogolabs.com/careers for more info).
If you're interested, shoot me an email (cmatthias at cogolabs.com) with your resume and a brief cover letter (be sure to mention you saw this post on HN). Bonus points for including a link to your github page or other code repository where I can see some code you've written.
