Software Developer -- Challenging projects, brilliant coworkers

chrchr — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:43:43 -0800

Rentrak Corporation is always looking for talented developers to add to our team in beautiful Portland, Oregon. You're probably used to being the smartest developer on your team (but are too humble to admit it), and are looking for a place where you can work alongside talented peers building great software for interesting projects. At Rentrak, we're a small enough company that you can make a big difference, but we're big enough to ensure your paycheck never bounces. Here are just a few things Rentrak programmers have done recently: * Wrote customized extensions to Open Source tools, to process queries hundreds of times faster than commercial RDBMSs * Built a goal-seeking system to dynamically generate optimal SQL queries for end-user data requests * Celebrated our 3 billionth transaction processed * Implemented software to categorize and predict consumer behavior based on television viewing history * Created systems that predict movie sales in theaters, retail stores and video rental locations * Gave a Tech Talk to Google about our brilliant database technology Our teams are relatively small (three to six people), and we have a development environment influenced by XP. We have a nice open work area so our developers can share their brilliant ideas, learn from each other, expand our extensive custom libraries and work together to solve tough problems. We keep our source code base well factored and filled with unit tests. We work with a stunningly large amount of data, and everyone here does an amazing job of turning it into something manageable. We have a very high hiring bar, and we feel that all the people who work here could easily get a job at any of the major tech companies. Our management understands this and works hard to make sure our developers are happy and productive. We're looking for ridiculously smart developers to help us reinvent our industries. Experience with functional or dynamic object-oriented development experience is great (e.g., Lisp, Smalltalk, Scheme, Ocaml, SML, Haskell, Ruby, Unlambda, C++/STL/Boost, or advanced use of Python or Perl). RDBMS experience is also helpful, especially with terabyte-plus databases. Rentrak's developers work with their teammates on all aspects of the development process: requirements gathering, system design, database design and tuning and, of course, lots of unit tests and coding.

We have a fantastic group of engineers, a wonderful and very supportive user community, and a project that both helps people and makes for a great business. Our offices are in downtown San Francisco, right near the Montgomery BART station.

We’ve been using Puppet extensively to configure and maintain servers, and have had great experience with it. We’ve also been using Xen and Ubunutu and both have served us well. The main application is developed in Ruby on Rails, but we’ve been able to keep it performant and available—a challenge but a fun one. I’m looking for someone who likes being given a lot of latitude to make decisions (not someone who wants to be told what to do every day). We have a great security architect on board to support your work. We think operations is critical to making a great web company, and we’re looking for someone with the same view. Take a look around to see what our users have to say about us, and the reviews and awards we’ve gotten for our site.

Want to get paid to create award-winning web sites? Well, have I got the job for you: World Online is looking for a kick-ass systems administrator to join our team. About the job Until now, we've been a small enough team that we've not needed a dedicated sysadmin. We've grown, however, and we now need someone to look after our small (but growing) server room. Right now we've got around 15 servers running a variety of LAMP-style software. The core technologies are Ubuntu Linux, Apache, PostgreSQL, Python, and Django. We want a sysadmin who can look after that stack and help us make it scream. The job also involves helping us develop and maintain backup systems, deployment scripts, and such. If everything goes according to plan, a big part of the job will be helping us build and roll out a hosted services environment. We want someone who will bring us strong opinions about the "right" way to do this. Our team is very small so we all pitch in where needed. "Not my job" is an unknown mentality here. About you We're looking for someone with experience administering LAMP-style systems. We're not too picky about particular skills -- we're expecting to train where needed. However, at a bare minimum we'd expect: * Experience administering a *nix. Bonus points for Ubuntu/Debian experience. * Understanding of how medium- to large-scale LAMP stacks work ("n-tier," if you want a buzzword). * Some skills in a scripting language (especially as used to write sysadmin-type scripts). Bonus points for Python, but Perl or even Bash is fine. * At least a basic understanding of administering databases. Bonus points for experience with PostgreSQL, and double-plus-extra points if you have PostgreSQL tuning skillz. MySQL experience will help you get the job, but will also make us mock you. More than anything, we're looking for someone with the ability to quickly learn new skills. If you can prove to us that you'll be able to learn what we need you to know, you're in. About the company World Online is the online division of the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in Lawrence, KS. We're widely known as one of the most innovative new media operations in the news industry. Our sites -- lawrence.com (music), ljworld.com (news), and kusports.com (sports) -- have won many awards. We take great pleasure in overkill. We don't just cover little-league baseball games with a story or two in the Sunday paper; we treat T-ball like it's the World Series. We devote an entire print publication and Web site to youth sports, complete with cell-phone updates, weblogs and intensive team, league, and field databases. The company goes to this effort not only because it's successful (it is) but because they feel a strong commitment to the community. Unlike most other newspapers the company does not demand huge profit margins, but instead demands that we serve our community. The owner is fond of saying that if we take care of Lawrence, Lawrence will take care of us. The company is family-owned, and that family is incredibly kind, will know your name, say hello to you in the halls, and listen very carefully to your opinions. About the town Lawrence could be one of the coolest towns in America. If you take every negative stereotype of Kansas and turn them on their heads, you'd get Lawrence. We have an amazing local music scene (which lawrence.com exhaustively covers) and a downtown so vibrant it put a mall out of business. Lawrence's reputation as a "music town" reaches far and wide, and so we get great national acts that bypass most towns ten times Lawrence's size. If you're used to the insane cost of living in most big cities, Lawrence will blow your mind. You'll easily be able to afford a brand new apartment, or one within walking distance of downtown, or a turn-of-the-century house. Food's incredibly cheap, too; the best barbecue dinner of your life is less than ten bucks. We will cover reasonable moving expenses for out-of-town candidates. How to apply Drop an email to jacob@lawrence.com and tell me why we've absolutely got to hire you. I run a Microsoft-free ship, so plain text or HTML resumes only.

Full-time Python developer in NYC

cyrusdogstar — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 11:31:36 -0800

I'm looking for a full-time Python programmer to assist me in my work in the internal IT department of a medium-sized computer forensics firm in New York City. The primary skill is Python, with knowledge of the Django web programming framework a huge plus (if you don't know it now, you'll be learning it). PHP and shell scripting are also nice but not required. Linux server administration would also be useful; at least some exposure to Linux, with the ability and desire to learn more, is nigh-mandatory. Responsibilities for this position are twofold: one, doing maintenance work and secondary feature development work on a large internal intranet project, based on Django and (to a lesser extent) Plone. And two, being the lead developer on any number of smaller internal projects--our IT group supports a lab of forensic examiners and there are a lot of potential tools to be developed. This position has a large potential for skill-set growth in just about any area--we deal with hardware, development, sysadmin and net admin stuff up, and more besides. The benefits at this firm are excellent and the culture and employees are of similar caliber.
