This company is revolutionizing the investment business & disrupting the mutual fund industry through an open source financial trading platform that anyone can join. This is an opportunity to join a stellar engineering team whose team members worked on massive backend infrastructure, Gmail's high performance frontend, the Native Scala Compiler with Prof. Odersky and more.

This company is revolutionizing the investment business through an open source financial trading platform that anyone can join (currently 370,000+ unique users) - instead of hoarding data like traditional investment sites, they make their data work for you and your portfolio. This is an opportunity to be a part of the core team.

Client's company is building a unique platform for real-time optimization of affiliate marketing. We are seeking a browser / javascript wizard, i.e :

You know the browser inside and out - the intricacies of Javascript and CSS, performance implications, browser differences and the challenges of debugging in a real-world environment. You may not have gone to RISD but you know how to make things look good. You're comfortable with the idea of writing code that runs in other people's pages. You know your way around the key libraries (Prototype, Scriptaculous, jQuery, etc) and you're proficient with modern browser app development tools like Ruby or GWT.

Learning new tools doesn't scare you. You know the difference between Open Source components that make your life easier and buzzword bingo. You drink the kool-aid on agile, pair / extreme programming but understand it's not a religion.

You know that what gets measured gets managed. You believe in instrumentation and data-centric decision-making. You don't just write the code, you build the systems to deploy it, to test it, to measure it.

You like to tackle big problems and blast through with hard work, open communication, and a sense of humor. You're fun to work with and have no problems playing with others.

We are a small but growing team looking for highly talented, motivated, and visionary people who want to build something great and change the industry. We're building a high-volume, low-margin system focused on revenue and performance and operating in real-time and at web-scale.

The company has been funded by some first tier backers that you've likely heard of, but the team is young and small enough that we are still giving out meaningful amounts of equity. You will have a substantial role in defining what the company is, does and feels like.

Rather than continuing to read about our company culture, come help us create it! Want to wear flip-flops to work? Want your job title to be Jedi Knight? Certain that Emacs with the vi key bindings is the only way to code? No problem!
