Who we are:
Limelight Digital, a web design and development agency. http://limelightdigital.com

What we need
Senior or mid-weight PHP and frontend developers/implementors, for both websites and possibly web apps

Where we are
Brisbane or Melbourne, Australia :australia:

Experience required (2 or more years):
  • HTML(5), CSS(3)
  • JavaScript, jQuery
  • PHP5

Desired but definitely not required
  • Symphony CMS

  • Git
  • Light server administration (RH/CentOS, Debian/Ubuntu)
  • Email marketing (Campaign Monitor, Mailchimp)
  • Payment gateways, eCommerce

About the position:
We are looking for an experienced, mid-weight web developer to join our welcoming team who is ready to hit the ground running.
Your day-to-day role will be building and integrating websites of all sizes into content management systems or frameworks.

Currently we use Symphony CMS for most projects, with various other PHP frameworks for more complex jobs and web apps. For eCommerce, we use either Magento or Lemonstand.

Experience with all these systems would be beneficial but is not necessary, but you must be willing to learn. And this works both ways: if you want to bring new technologies or practices, our team is always expanding their knowledge.

daqri, a leading augmented reality startup. http://daqri.com
Job postings at the bottom of the website.

What we need
Rails devs, javascript devs, and machine vision engineers

Mobile devs and Unity devs

Where we are
Rails, JS and machine vision teams are in Mountainview, everybody else is in downtown Los Angeles.

Experience level:
We're in need of mid to senior people, but we're not going to pass up juniors who catch our eye.
We're running Rails on Heroku and need both back-end and front-end, the vision code is in C++ and will later make use of cloud computing.
Mobile and Unity teams are pretty full, but still in need of top-notch people.

About the position:
Rails and JS developers will build our next generation of content management, creation and collaboration tools, and the team currently consists of... me. Heyo!
Machine Vision engineers will build image tracking to run on the mobile app, and image recognition to run in the cloud. That team consists of our CTO, who's sitting next to me, and built Amazon's image recognition system.

Mobile and Unity devs will build content for our clients and the app that actually makes all of this work, and the team is ~10 people. The boss for that team is a guy who used to work for SpaceX and did donuts around a rocket (on the pad, not yet launched) in a helicopter.

What's good?
- Good benefits/leave/etc.
- People are, in general, very nice.
- I'm mostly easy to work for and very flexible.
- Training. You will be put on a training plan when you start. My goal is that you will not be in the same position within 2 years (meaning you'll quit or oust me from my job). Reimbursement for certification tests and we'll buy you whatever books you need.
- Non-exempt position. This is good and bad. Good is that you are eligible for overtime.
- If you like the beach, well, it's Panama City, so... yeah.

What's not so good?
- I expect a lot and don't like people who aren't self-motivated to find solutions, Also, I will continue to assign you projects to work on until you say you're at your limit. Some people like this and some people don't.
- We're very lean IT staff. There's you, me, and my boss as far as infrastructure support goes. There will be times when we're slammed.
- Direction/priorities on projects will shift at a moment's notice based on company needs.

Who we are: Satori Software
Location: London, UK. We're in Holborn, next to Chancery Lane tube station.
What we do: We are a software company producing mail/address management and data quality solutions, both pre-built and bespoke. A good example of the kind of functionality we provide is those postcode lookup tools you often see on websites to help you find your address. We work with everyone from small mailing houses right through to large public sector organisations and corporates.
When: Right now!

The role
There's a job spec here but I'll give a quick summary:
You'll be primarily working on customer-facing support, working with customers directly to resolve their issues, and working with our development team to find and build solutions that our customers need. You will also have the chance to work on small bespoke customer projects and to be involved with the product management process. In time you will become a fountain of knowledge for both our sales team and our customers and everyone will love you.

What we're looking for:
  • BSc in Computer Science or similar, ideally a 2.i or better.
  • Ability to communicate clearly with customers. Accurate spelling and grammar are very important to us.
  • Able to work on problems independently with great time-management skills.
  • Experience with at least one modern high level programming language (C#/Java/PHP/etc).
  • Working knowledge of application development processes.
  • Solid technical understanding of Windows-based environments, including MS Office.
  • You don't need prior work experience.
What's good?
  • Relaxed work atmosphere with nice people.
  • Super awesome US-style benefits package (see post below).
  • Flexible working hours.
  • Recently renovated offices in central London.
  • Potential future trips to Seattle (not for first six-months at least).
  • No on-call requirements.
What's not so good?
  • We are primarily a sales office so you need to be self-motivated and able to work through problems on your own. Other people will support you when you need it but you are not sat in the middle of a big department with ten other people to ask if you get stuck.
  • Sales guys are dumb and will ask you dumb questions and tell you about how fast their car is and stuff, so you better get used to it.
  • Time difference to Seattle means checking email in evenings is beneficial, though this is never enforced.
  • No overtime available.
How do I apply?
Email me: tyates-at-satorisoftware-dot-co-dot-uk
Include your CV and I'll take a look, or send questions if you have any.

I am not directly responsible for hiring for this role but if your CV looks like a good match then it'll go on my boss's desk and you might get a call.

Some of the bigger, or "cooler" companies do offer stuff like on-site gyms, health insurance is pretty standard but most places give 10 days of vacation for the first 3-5 years then you get a whole 15.

My company has an awesome vacation policy for salaried staff: Take off whatever time you need.

If you miss too much time, it's up to your department head to deal with it.

Everyone loves it. No more worrying about taking too much time, or too little. If emergencies happy, gently caress it, take off for the time necessary to handle it.

I'm sure there's some abuse, but I've never actually heard of any, even though we employ like 450 people.

If you meet most of the requirements, you should apply. In my experience, most job postings are looking for a holy grail but would be more than happy with someone who is competent and reliable.

Also, the guy who's in charge of Ops (and would be your boss in that position) is awesome. I could hang out with him all day. I'm sad he moved to Ops and out of my department, because I don't get to talk to him much any more.

This can't be stressed enough in general for all you job seekers. Job Postings are basically Manager wish lists. No candidate is going to hit all the wish list items. If you think you can get up to speed in 90 days at the job, then apply apply apply! The last guy we hired didn't have 2 of our 'wish list' items, but was really strong with other things and showed in the interview he was a sharp guy who would have no issue getting up to speed. We hired him and it's worked out really well so far.

I find this discussion incredibly bland and disinteresting.
Who we are: Limelight Networks - Video Platform
Location: Seattle, WA. Currently about two blocks from the Ferry Terminals, but we're moving to an old Amazon space right on top of International District station in two-ish months.
What we do: Limelight is historically a Content Delivery Network, owning datacenters, switches, and fiber. We're leveraging that platform to be a delivery mechanism for your Digital Presence, including Content Management, Content Delivery, Video publishing, and Cloud Storage. Do you want to be the person who insures that episodes are always ready to stream at Pokemon.com? Then you want to work with us.
When: Right now!

The role
The job listing is here, but the basic summary is that we're looking for someone to work on our UI team. We're not looking for an artist (although it's a great bonus!), we're looking for someone who can work with Javascript (+HTML/CSS), Obj-C, Java, and make sure that our customer-facing applications are communicating smoothly with the backend. You will drive design decisions, and work closely with our Management Services team to ensure that your applications can smoothly scale to a global audience. We're hiring in both Junior and Senior level positions.


The perks
Just to brag, this is easily the best working environment that I've ever been in. The Video team was a startup in Pioneer Square that was acquired by Limelight a few years ago. We've managed to keep the startup mentality, but have the resources of a global company backing us. We've got one large open-air work area, open collaboration, and incredibly low tolerance for bureaucratic bullshit. (That's not to say that we don't have process, but we make sure that everything actually serves a useful purpose.) Everyone here is brilliant, and, here's the kicker, no one is a smug rear end in a top hat about it. Hours are flexible, and we work a sane schedule. (Generally 40 hour weeks - if someone has to work more than that to meet a commitment, we see at it as a serious failure to plan sprint tasks.)

Every other Wednesday is board game night. :)

What we're looking for:
  • Online portfolio - Show us the amazing things you have created to date
  • Skilled with prototyping and design tools - Photoshop, OmniGraffle, etc
  • Works well in an agile/scrum development environment
  • In depth knowledge of CSS, HTML
  • Relevant undergraduate degree and 3-4+ years of UI design/programming experience
  • Ability to work everyday amongst our engineers in our downtown Seattle office

How do I apply?

Include your resume, and I'll forward it to our hiring manager.

Who we are: 3VR
Location: San Francisco, CA. The office is located at 4th and Brannan streets, about 2 blocks from the ballpark, 2 blocks from Caltrain, and six blocks from BART/MUNI Metro.
What we do: From the website: "3VR has established itself as the most innovative player in video intelligence. Now we’re expanding into other markets by turning unstructured video into true business intelligence."
When: Right now, and I mean NOW.

The role
I'm leaving my role as the IT Manager and the only IT person in the entire company. I need someone to take over my duties (To start, it's a contract role, from there, it may become a permanent full time thing) and handle the IT work. We're almost entirely a Windows infrastructure with some Linux machines here and there. You have to be familiar with Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012, Windows 7 and 8, Exchange 2010 and 2013, and Lync Server 2010. The network infrastructure is Cisco with Juniper connecting to the WAN, and our virtualization is all vmware ESXi.

The system runs pretty smoothly as is, so we're looking for someone to get in and trained to support all the users and the servers.

The perks
As the only IT person you have a lot of autonomy and freedom. Want to set up a lab and play with the latest tools? Go for it. Want to learn IPv6? We're fully deployed, natively. Want to work on getting certs? You'll have plenty of time. The kitchen is kept stocked with soda, juice, water, snacks, treats, etc. Bagels every Monday, donuts every Friday, beer and wine every Friday. There's a few catered lunches per month as well.

What we're looking for:
  • Someone well versed in a Windows Server 2008/2012 environment with AD, CS, DHCP, DNS, WDS, WSUS, DFS.
  • Skilled in Cisco configuration including routing, access lists, trunking, VLANs, etc.
  • Basic to mid-level skills with linux - Redhat 6, CentOS, and Ubuntu.
  • Skilled with VMware ESXi 5.
  • Experience running a unified communications system. Ours is Lync 2010, but it's easy to learn if you've handled SIP before.
  • You need to live in or near San Francisco, we won't be relocating.

How do I apply?
Email me: apollock@3vr.com
Include your resume and any other details you think are pertinent, and if you're good I'll recommend you to the hiring manager. We're looking to fill this position *soon*, as I leave here on the 21st of this month.

Throwing my hat in here:

I'm almost done with my BS in IT Security at WGU. I'm currently in Southeast Alaska but am looking to relocate to the Seattle area. I'm ready to move as soon as I either find a job or my house sells, but I don't need both to happen to move.

My experience: I've done contract work for a non-profit for the last 2 years. I set them up with a Windows SBS 2011 server, administered it, and did all the support and training for their employees. I also work full-time at the Police Department as a 911 dispatcher, but I do a lot of forensic IT type stuff, as well as a lot of the tech training for police officers.

Certs! A+, Sec+, CCNA Security, and a handful of CIW placemats. I'm working on my 70-680 right now.

What I'm looking for: Something a step above the bottom. I'm interested in security and when I finish school I plan on devoting a lot of free time to learning pen testing. I'm looking for an established place where there's opportunity to grow. I'm not interested in the SF style start-up hopping.

What I'm NOT looking for: Level 1 help desk if I can avoid it.

Where I live: Alaska, but looking to move to the Seattle area ASAP.

Where I'm looking: Seattle area.

When I can start: Roughly 3 weeks after hire. I need 2 weeks notice for my current job and roughly a week to a week and a half to take the once-weekly ferry down to Bellingham.

Requirements: A typical benefits package; Insurance, some sort of retirement, a gym membership would kick rear end too.

Can be reached at: PM or SeamusMcJobs at the geemale and I can provide you with my full resume and cover letter.

updating my post since things have changed.

My experience: I have 3 years total IT experience. Just started working as a contractor for IBM working at Ally financial. I am one of 2 help desk people for about 700 users currently. That will become around 8-900 by the end of the year. I do all kind of break/fix and basic AD support, password resets and the like. It is insanely busy and we are constantly swamped. With the added users if they don't bring in another person I don't see how we will be able to accomplish tasks. They are transitioning to Win 7 in August.

Degree: I just finished an AS in Network support. Which basically consisted of 3 main class sets: 4 CISCO and 2 Red Hat and 2 Windows Server. I can go into more detail about what was covered in a PM or email.

Certs: working on CCNA

What I'm looking for: A Jr level network admin/engineer job something I can have the opportunity to learn and possibly move up in the company

What I'm NOT looking for: Helpdesk. Looking to move away from that side into the side I am interested in

Where I live: Florida but willing to relocate

Where I'm looking: anywhere but prefer pacific northwest

When I can start: 3-4 weeks after hire

Requirements: A typical benefits package; Insurance, some sort of retirement, PTO etc

Can be reached at: PM or swatjr at hotmail and I can forward you an official cover letter/resume
