10+ years experience building mobile and web products from scratch. I've founded tech startups and lead engineering efforts at large companies. I have a MS Computer Science and can do full stack. However, I'm more of a design thinker and often focus on the presentation layer.
Unnamed new venture | Los Angeles (Santa Monica) | Designer, Full Stack Developers
We're looking to form a new team inside of a medium sized business (180M revenue last year). I have a history of doing work with these guys and will be joining full time to do this.
We will be developing a new product for brand management and content quality across world markets. I'm convinced that there is a need for this service and that the existing client base of the business will put it to immediate use as it comes into existence.
The office will be somewhere on the west side of Los Angeles. We're looking for people who can work several
days a week in Santa Monica, Venice, or thereabouts. Some work from home would be fine, along with time flexibility.
=================
What do we offer?
=================
This will be greenfield development with control over technology choice and processes, while at the same time working reasonable hours in a stable and profitable company. Benefits will include good health insurance, 401k matching, and options in the parent company (held by private equity, liquidity event about 4 years down the road).
===================
Who would be a fit?
===================
We're planning to get to initial launch with 3-4 team members:
- A designer with UX chops ("Academic" UX is relevant to the application domain, and would be valued, and any interest in CSS or other frontend development skills is great too)
- 2-3 Full stack developers, where at least one person is very strong with Angular or Backbone and is in general a real Javascript engineer
===============================
What technologies are relevant?
===============================
Generalists who have experience in several technologies are ideal.
The plan is to collectively decide what technologies to use as the team comes together. My own recent projects have used:
Angular / Backbone
Python / Ruby
Rails / Django / Sails.js
rspec / unittest / mocha
Sidekiq / Celery
Postgres
Riak
Redis
SOLR
Ansible / Docker / Vagrant
I also have past professional experience in C++, PHP, Java + various frameworks, and C# with the MVC framework.
My opinion is that rails has a small productivity edge for this type of project but we may want to optimize for other goals.
informal inquiries are welcome, please put Hacker News in the subject line. I'll be at the AWS conference this week if anyone is there.

TechEmpower - Los Angeles area, California (El Segundo, near LAX)
You may recognize us from the Web Framework Benchmarks that have been discussed on HN periodically: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ (Look for Round 9 to be published later today!)
Here's the job:
TechEmpower, a small custom software development firm located in El Segundo, seeks developers with good object-oriented experience, preferably in Java, JavaScript, Python, and/or Ruby. We specialize in web application development but look for well-rounded application developers. If you are a solid programmer and a team player, this is an opportunity for you. Even if you don't have experience with everything listed in this ad, we offer excellent learning opportunities for those who are eager to expand their skill sets. Job Responsibilities
Working in small development teams, programmers participate in the architecture, design, and implementation of primarily Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, and PHP code to meet client requirements for robust, high-performance, and secure sites and applications. Developers get exposure to several client projects and a variety of technologies over time. Job Qualifications
In addition to overall programming capability, candidates must have experience working on collaborative development teams and very strong communication skills. While we employ and enjoy the company of extroverts and introverts alike, we reiterate that the ability to communicate clearly is a must-have for our technical staff. That means writing professional e-mails and interpreting the nuances of clients' requirements by asking good questions, for example.
We work hard to estimate projects accurately so that schedules are reasonable and developers work a normal amount of hours per week. We rely on developers to contribute to those estimates and provide feedback as a project goes along to keep things on track.
Ideal candidates will have experience building all facets of software systems including the data model, business logic, and front-end. 3+ years of object-oriented design and development in Java, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby is desired. On the front-end, HTML 5 and CSS experience is required.
Knowledge of some or all of the following specific tools and technologies is a plus:
Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP
Tools: Continuous Integration (Jenkins, Hudson, etc.), static code analysis (Sonar, etc.), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant, Maven
Web: vert.x, Play, Spring, Django, Rails, node.js, JSP, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile or similar
Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), cloud servers, Linux configuration, application servers (Resin, etc.)
Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, Oracle, NoSQL (CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.)
We like technical people who are not afraid to have strong opinions about technology but simultaneously keep an open mind and are flexible enough to work with whatever technology the task at hand requires.
That said, we're mostly looking for great developers who are great to work with. If you don't have experience with everything listed above (and who does?) but are still a solid developer eager to learn new things, you might be a great fit here.
