    and ability to understand, create and update templates.
  • Ability to work independently and produce high-quality work for multiple ongoing projects without breaking a sweat.
  • Great
    presentation skills and the ability to share work with various internal
    groups, articulate design decisions and collaborate to determine final
    design considerations.
  • A knowledge of current web design trends and excitement about future technologies (HTML5) is a plus.
Other:

September 3, 2010

in HTML, Programming Jobs

THE PRINTED BLOG is the best of the web, curated by editors you know and love, delivered each week directly to you in a beautiful print magazine format.

You may remember the first launch, last year, on January 22nd – you can read about that in The New York Times, here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/22/technology/start-ups/22blogpaper.html?_r=2

THE PRINTED BLOG is the world’s only print platform dedicated to publishing the best blog (and photographic) content found on the web. We are looking for outstanding bloggers, who write on a variety of topics, to submit work for consideration. We’re looking for everything: sports, technology, lifestyle / sex, personal, music, celebrity, showbiz, etc. The only thing we don’t want is boring. If you’re boring, we don’t want you.

We want bloggers who have a voice, who have something interesting to say – a perspective on the world that people need to hear about. We don’t care if you get 1,000,000 page views a day, or if you get 10 visitors a month. If you are a fascinating person, if you can use language to teach, impress, educate, entertain, challenge, inspire, and get people to stand up and shout, consider submitting your work.

THE PRINTED BLOG is also the first platform to pay bloggers based on the number of our paid subscribers. At first, it will be in the tens of dollars – eventually, hundreds or more, per published article. We do not ask anyone to write anything new for us – just for permission to republish your work. We do NOT ask for exclusivity, in fact, we want you to promote your own work, and to make money from it, in any other way you can.

When you’re published in THE PRINTED BLOG, you get money, and exposure for your great work.

You can see the first 16 issues of THE PRINTED BLOG at http://www.theprintedblog.com/issues.php.

You can see our Managing, Guest and Contributing Editors on our home page at http://www.theprintedblog.com.

If you are interested in submitting, reply with two paragraphs about why your voice is important, along with your URL(s).

in Programming Jobs, Ruby on Rails

Location: San Francisco, CA

About Us:
CrowdFlower is changing the way work gets done. We build a quality control system that distributes work to half a mlilion people around the world, and analyzes the results to guarantee the highest possible accuracy. We have a real business model, our revenues are growing, and were venture-backed. We also have a sweet office in the Mission at 16th and Valencia. Its taco time-all the time.
We offer an array of excellent benefits: health insurance, new MacBook Pros, 30″ monitors, free drinks and snacks, indoor bike parking, and flexible work hours. Also, we boast the biggest collection of office plants this side of the Mississippi.
The Job:
Were looking for someone whos equally comfortable relentlessly pursuing a task independently or pairing up to get a job done. You should be able to design and implement the best solution to a given problem from start to finish. Youll work directly with client services to give the best experience to our customers, while continually improving our core product offering-the best crowdsourcing toolset anywhere. We thrive on innovation-our company is at the forefront of the emerging crowdsourced labor market.
Our front-end is used by thousands of people every hour around the world. Everything our engineers do has real and tangible impacts. You wont be just another cog in the machine.
A few things youll focus on as a front-end developer at CrowdFlower:
* Implementing custom interfaces for our clients.
* Distilling complex requirements into simple interfaces that make our account managers jobs easer.
* Improving our documentation and refactoring existing JavaScript as needed.

Academia.edu: Academia.edu looking for software engineer

September 2, 2010

in ActionScript, Development Jobs

Resized_logo

Location: San Francisco, CA
URL: www.academia.edu

About Academia.edu
Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in
their field. On Academia.edu, academics follow other academics in their field,
and they get a Twitter/Facebook-style News Feed that contains the latest
research from people in their field on Academia.edu – the latest papers, talks,
status updates, and blog posts.
Vision
Our vision is to dramatically speed up the rate at which
research spreads through the world. We want research to spread around the world
at Twitter/Facebook speed. Currently it takes weeks/months and sometimes more
than a year for a paper to hit the desks of everyone in the world who should
hear about it. Our vision is for all research to be channeled to the people who are interested in it in a matter of hours, rather than weeks or months. 
We believe that there is an opportunity to make a big impact
on the rate at which research is shared.
Traction
We launched in September 2008, and now have 190,000
academics on the site, and are growing by 10-15,000 academics a month. Users of
Academia.edu include some of the most famous academics in the world, including Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Noam Chomsky, Paul Krugman, and Steven Pinker.
We recently raised our series A from Spark Ventures, and a
number of angels including Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu and Thawte), Rupert
Pennant- Rea (Chairman of The Economist), and Thomas Lehrman (founder of Gerson
Lehrman Group).
Team
We are a team of 6 based in downtown San Francisco (Kearny
and Bush). More info about the team is here: http://academia/about.
What we are looking
for
We are looking for an exceptional software engineer to join
our team. Academia.edu has a very engineer-driven culture. We describe below
how we think about our culture, and also the qualities of the people we want to
join us.
What professional qualities do we admire?
  • Exceptional engineering: innovation at the cutting edge of web development to overcome the complex challenges that can arise.
  • Obsession with product and user experience: obsession with creating a great product, and a great user experience. Feeling anguish and pain when the site is slow, or when a user interface or feature is bad, and pleasure when the site is fast and intuitive.
  • Problem-solving: intellectual satisfaction from solving problems. Finding the best and quickest solution to the problem the team is currently working on.
  • Technical ambition: pushing the boundaries of the technologies we work with. For example, when thinking about the best UI for a feature, having no fear in considering creating a new JavaScript framework, if that is what is required to make it work right.
  • Finishing: finishing products and deploying code. Believing that exceptional engineering, combined with exceptional creativity, are what makes a startup succeed.
  • Versatility: comfort with tweaking a CSS style or optimizing a SQL query all in the same morning
  • Ability to prioritize features: being able to look at a ton of possible features on a whiteboard, add more to the mix, and then choose which one has the highest priority
  • Being thoughtful about productivity: thinking about what working environments and structures ensure optimal productivity. Ensuring that the right environment and structures are in place for everyone.
  • Dedication: willingness to get up at 4am to restart the servers, and then build something the next day so the servers don’t go down again
  • Personal investment in what we work on: caring personally about the impact of our work on people around the world
What personal qualities do we admire?
  • Independent thought: being able to learn from people around us when we need to, and also challenge them when they need to be challenged
  • Being inquisitive: thinking of ways of improving things that we interact with
  • Creativity: being able to develop new ideas for the product and enhance the vision of the company
  • Passion for the Academia.edu vision: passion for building a platform that could change the way that research is shared and discovered
  • Keenness to have an impact on the world around you: keenness to be the one to build the platform behind Academia.edu. The possibility of positively improving the lives of millions of people via what we build is very exciting for us.
  • Being visionary: thinking ‘What will the world look like in 10 years’ time, and how can we build that now?

Experience
What is most important, by far, is that you are a quick
learner who can discover and pick up new techniques fast.
  • Web development: you have 2+ years of web development experience
  • Full stack: you have experience designing and implementing the full stack of a web application: sysadmin, database implementation and optimization, application development, front-end CSS, HTML and JavaScript.
  • Scaling: ideally you have some experience scaling an application to deal with an increasing user base. This is not essential though.
Here are some of the technologies that we work with:
You should be comfortable finding the right tools for the
job while becoming great at whatever tool you’re using. Experience with Rails
is a plus, but far more important is your ability to pick up new technologies
quickly.
What are we offering?
  • The chance to build an awesome product that could revolutionize research
  • The chance to work in a fun and intellectually inquisitive team
We also offer some nice benefits! You will get a market
salary and stock options. We want to hire someone exceptional, and we want to
be generous with stock options to make this happen.
In addition, you will also get:
  • health insurance
  • any ergonomic chair of your choosing
  • a laptop with two huge monitors
  • a smartphone (iPhone/BlackBerry/Nexus One)
Where is the job based?
The job is based in San Francisco. We will help with visas
and other issues relating to re-location.
How do I apply?
If you are interested to learn more, please email Richard
Price at richard–at–academia.edu.
To make your application stand out, please sign up to
Academia.edu, and let us know what you think of the site:
  • what is good about the user experience, and what is bad
  • what features we have that you think are good, and which are bad, or which are missing
If you are not affiliated with a university, you can sign up as an independent
researcher. Please be as detailed as possible in your comments on the site.

To apply: If you are interested to learn more, please email Richard Price at richard—at—academia.edu.
