Trulia - San Francisco, Full time, (H1B transfers)

Trulia is one of the largest real estate search platforms in the United States with over 30 million unique visitors across our platform every month. We're solving interesting problems and building cool things in nearly every software engineering discipline.

We've got lots of large scale projects to tackle including:

- Building our next generation of APIs (for both internal and external consumption)

- Creating new mapping and data visualization experiences

- Improving our web experience using a JS MVC framework and our new CSS UI library (similar to Bootstrap)

- Innovating on our top ranked mobile apps (we're looking for iOS and Android engineers of all levels)

- Diving deep into the terabytes of housing and user data we have in order to tailor custom experiences for our users

Our core web stack is a traditional LAMP stack, but we use a ton of other technologies as well including: Python, Java, Hadoop, Solr/Lucene, CouchBase, Backbone, d3.js, Sass, Git, and a whole lot more.

I've been an engineer at Trulia for just over a year now and can honestly say that it is a really fun company to work for. There's a great culture of letting people run with projects that really interest them and drive the entire engineering organization forward.

The compensation and perks are fantastic including:

- Great health benefits

- Unlimited vacation

- Great location in downtown San Francisco (1 min from BART, 10 min from Caltrain)

- Monthly transportation and "well being" allowances

- Kegs on two out of three floors (including one in our penthouse/rooftop patio)

Full-Stack Software Engineers - Trulia, San Francisco

Positions are available on multiple teams at Trulia, including on the rentals team that where I work.

Why work at Trulia?

Engineering gets respect.

We use the phrase 'we're a tech company that does Real Estate' to emphasize how important engineering is to the company. Engineering is the department that drives our apps, tools, data, and interfaces forward. This attitude comes not only from the Engineers, but from our CEO and other top management. They believe in us.

We have awesome problems to solve.

The housing market provides a fantastic blend of problems. We need creative people to help us combine the data about every address in America with the soft side of helping people find a home that makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable.

Stability is wonderful.

We're that rare company that holds the culture of its startup roots, while blending in the sanity of a regular work schedule with an emphasis on work/life/family balance.

You:

- You have experience working on high-traffic, scalable internet applications - You love solving hard problems and working in small teams with smart people - You're comfortable with everything from bash scripting to javascript - You're a great person - You love making fast websites

What you'll work with:

Our base web stack is LAMP, but that rides on top of Solr/Lucene, Hadoop, Memcache, Python, Couchbase, Open Street Maps, and more. We’re rewriting our website to use Javascript on both client and server using Rendr.js, Node.js and Backbone.js. We use jQuery on the client, d3.js and Raphel.js for our charts and Git for source control. We're learning OOCSS and are folding SASS into our workflow as well. If there's something that's a good idea for the team, we'll do our best to implement it.

How we work:

The engineering team is about a hundred people, and we break into small teams of 2-4 to focus on specific projects. The rentals team is a small, vertically-integrated team within the larger engineering team. We are responsible for the entire Trulia Rentals product, giving us the speed and flexibility of a startup with the resources of a public company.

We release weekly, but new features are always under development and often span releases. Our local QA team writes automation tests and does hand testing of your features, working with you to ensure that only high quality code gets to production. Organizationally, we're pretty flat, though you'll have a mentor with whom you'll have weekly 1-on-1 meetings, to review code, exchange ideas, and ensure we're doing everything we can for you to thrive in your role.

Behind the curtain: - 'Innovation Week' every quarter - People you're happy to see every day - Stocked Kitchens and two kegerators - Unbeatable SOMA location with penthouse roof deck - All IDEs welcome - Aeron chairs - Great benefits (untracked time off, variety of health plans, 401k match)

Trulia is a successful rapidly growing Internet technology company, redefining the home search experience for consumers and changing the way real estate professionals build their businesses. Our marketplace, delivered through the web and mobile applications, gives consumers powerful tools to research homes and neighborhoods and enables real estate professionals to efficiently market their listings and attract new clients.

Trulia was founded in 2005, backed by Accel Partners and Sequoia Capital, and had a successful IPO in 2012. We are headquartered in downtown San Francisco with offices in Denver and New York and voted Best Place to Work in both San Francisco and Denver.


Trulia is hiring 40 engineers this year for frontend, backend, and mobile positions. We are profitable and provide great benefits/salary. Located in SOMA district of San Francisco. H1B candidates are welcome.

Trulia is looking for a few good search engineers. In SF, good culture, not too big, not too small. Java but not enterprise java, hadoop, solr, lucene. Great place to work. http://www.trulia.com/jobs

Trulia (San Francisco) is looking for experienced Engineers, Ops and Product Managers. http://grnh.se/i684wq

Engineering Lead - API Team - http://grnh.se/khfg35 Sr. JavaScript Engineer - http://grnh.se/mlur0d Sr. iOS Engineer - http://grnh.se/fpru64 Sr. Engineer - Communications - http://grnh.se/ejg6cy Sr. Linux Systems Administrator - http://grnh.se/46tcer Android Engineer - http://grnh.se/v1pj07 Sr. Big Data Engineer - http://grnh.se/h26qe3 Sr. Software Engineer (Back End) - http://grnh.se/yadn5x Principal Big Data Engineer - http://grnh.se/53sutw

Director of Product - Search - http://grnh.se/m0ewti Product Manager - New Ventures - http://grnh.se/nv6ctw

Our team of energized and happy brainiacs is made up of diverse interests and personalities. We've got semi-pro athletes, ping-pong enthusiasts, avid surfers, chicken farmers, jugglers, knitters and everything in between. But we share one common focus: making killer products that will improve the really hard and potentially un-fun process of finding the right place to live.

There are so many reasons that working here is great, but we've narrowed it to the top three:

1. There's always something awesome happening. No matter what is being built, we're hard at work figuring out what the next big thing is going to be. Knowing that there's always some innovation on the way keeps this place buzzing. Plus, consistently seeing ridiculous month-on-month user growth doesn't hurt the excitement factor!

2. We're good people. When it comes to hiring, we've adopted a strict "no jerks" rule. Our culture is open and friendly, and not to be trifled with, no matter your level of talent. Whether we are planning projects or grabbing a keg-fresh beer on our roof deck, we genuinely like each other. Who doesn't like that?

3. Start-up fire with big company benefits. Want the fast-moving pace of a start-up with the perks of a company that has been around the block? Us, too. We know that the laundry list of super competitive pay, stock, snacks in the kitchen, and appreciation for a job well done are baseline requirements, so we go way beyond. Investing back into our team's success and future is our goal. Matching 401(k), fully paid medical/dental/vision coverage, multiple flexible spending accounts, and a legit maternity and paternity plan. We've got it all...and then some.

Gliffy - San Francisco (SOMA office) Full Stack Software Engineer

Gliffy (www.Gliffy.com) is looking for a talented engineer (full stack) to help build upon their already innovative SaaS diagraming/graphing product.

In this role you would have the opportunity to work with technologies like Scala/Playframework/HTML5/Canvas and make a measurable impact as part of a small, but insanely bright team. Gliffy is established and quite profitable, but still operates like a startup (hackatons, quarterly outings) and is investing in growing the team. They are based in SF and allow employees to work from home Mondays and Fridays (alongside some other nice perks - quarterly bonuses, employer 401K contribution, etc).

Gliffy has hired me to help them on the search (an engineer I placed back in March is loving it and they've asked me to find one more as they continue their growth).

Sponsorship/remote work not available at this time.

Email me for more details: matt@blocktalent.com


San Francisco, CA - Remote to Hire - Rails Engineer

About us: We're a small team tackling the huge offline market of consumer lending. In startup talk, you could say, "we are a venture-backed company disrupting a multi-billion dollar industry." In real talk, we're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes holding vital documents. We are bringing security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based office.

About you: You've got 2-5 years experience building web apps. You're interested in owning a product, everything from calling clients to wireframes to writing code and analyzing metrics.

More about us: We're growing fast (double-digit month-over-month). We do SaaS for non-technical users. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy, and that feels great. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

Details: This is an onsite position. But we're open to remote-to-hire as well. For the right candidate, we would do something like an initial week on-site in SF. After that, we have 1-2 months of remote work. If at that point all signs point to yes, then we'd ask you to move to sunny San Francisco.

We offer health insurance and generous vacation. Compensation will be salary plus meaningful equity. As an early engineer you'll be shaping this company.

Specific Qualifications:

* 3-5 years of web development (the more, the better)

* 1-2 years of Ruby on Rails (the more, the better)

* Experience with AWS, Github, Pivotal Tracker is great - Project Management ability a huge plus.

* Be reliable and a hard worker. Life's short. Make it count.

Contact us at jobs@snapdocs.com.
