I ain't going down alone
Dr. Infant, MD
We're hiring!

Who we are: A successful, cashflow-positive startup that's been around over 4 years and growing like mad.
Location: Phoenix (east valley)
What we do: We're in the healthcare industry, exploring a new sort of market with an IT-heavy approach to benefit employers and employees both in terms of individual/aggregate health profiles and giving them better analytics on their insurance & claims costs.
What we're like: We're very small team with very strong rapport built among each other. We're distributed with a lot of people working in different locations, but our largest is here in mesa where nearly all development and IT stuff takes place. Generally you make your own hours as long as you keep up with communication and urgent requests that come in (not a large issue, except sometimes for the 1st position listed below). Super relaxed environment. Very nice workstations with a friendly, accommodating CTO who will get us whatever we need to be comfortable and productive.
What we need: Two full time positions:

1) IT Operations Manager (less technical, but still technical)

Skills you possess:

  • Comfortable knowledge of relational databases. Understanding of relatively simple data-draw SQL queries (select with a few joins), or if not syntax then at least how to manipulate and interpret reporting tools. You're the one assisting account managers translate what we have in the database into a specific report, rolled up number, or spreadsheet that is delivered to the client (when such reports are requested off the cuff and don't exist within our standard fare of automated reports).
  • Strong communication and correspondence skills. Typically you won't have too much exposure to clients but often a response to a client will be waiting on you.
  • Strong organizational skills and workflow management. We have tools for ticketing and project management which will help immensely but nonetheless you'll have to effectively manage your time so that eg. you'll know the degree of confidence you can say yes or no to committing to some new request and its proposed timeline.
  • Documentation and creating/deconstructing a processes to find weaknesses and coming up with improvements.
  • Familiarity with code (php in particular) is a big plus.
  • Strong ability with excel manipulation, knowing how to import/export a CSV, etc.

Things you will do:

  • work with customer service reps and account managers to facilitate anything needed out of IT for day to day, week to week operations
  • Work with account managers (and sometimes directly with clients) to decide on contract specs, interpret their requirements into what we can offer, etc
  • Provide custom reporting requests and oversee automated reporting to ensure all goes smoothly
  • Do some prep work for new clients, be present for new client launches, assist account managers with email campaigns
  • Process census files from clients. There is a tool that does all the heavy lifting but this always will require a keen human element since it's accepting sensitive data from 3rd parties who don't always have their act together
  • A number of daily maintenance activities that come up in the normal course of things. Sometimes the lab work company send us corrupted or obviously-manually-manipulated data that can't be processed automatically
  • Process Improvement. Identify what could be factored out of your workload via smarter ways of handing off tasks, some new code to automate something, etc. Work with developers and others to produce a spec, etc.

Basically you are a technically literate operations manager. If you are a tech person who wants to gain experience into the business side of things or a business person who wants to gain experience into the technical side of things, this position is a management-level bridge for that.

2) Software Developer (entry level thru senior)

Skills you possess:

  • PHP experience is preferred, but really any sort of background can fit. This is where I give the standard spiel about the language not mattering as much as the affinity of the developer to adapt and so on.
  • Ability to learn/follow HIPAA compliance, no matter how annoying it is. As well as SASS/SOX and a bunch of other standards that we are beholden to. You have access to personal info and medical data for many many people so you have to learn and play by the rules or we all get burned. A lot of this is already handled systemically, we have processes for testing/deploying and signoffs, so as a developer this mostly boils do don't do anything stupid, no cowboy poo poo, no developing on production, don't take copies of the database off site and so on. We have to give you enough access to technically be able to do these things, but you've got to have the self discipline even though as a culture we're small, fast and loose with a lot of other stuff. It's common sense I know but it's also complete zero tolerance.
  • LAMP stack familiarity is a giant plus. Working with Zend's platform is even better because that's us.
  • SVN, if you are familiar with git that's great as we would like to move to git eventually but for right now we're in the cutting edge of 2004 when it comes to version control
  • Query skills, basic query optimization, and the ability to create/debug large and intricate queries when the need arises.

Things you will work on:
  • A zend-framework backend application, a backbone.js frontend application, and a MySQL/galera db cluster (we have a DBA so you won't have to have much exposure to the underbelly of all that).
  • The app has a user portal, admin portal and client (employer) portal, with active development especially in the latter two
  • Freely weigh in on new features, implementation approaches, and so on. We want people who can move beyond just executing task lists and will make that sort of growth available
  • A small team of 3-4 developers with me as your leader and firewall to parse requests and requirements coming in from the company and clients.

I'm paying for someone to help me get through some time-consuming front-end bug fixes on a side project of mine. I'm not asking for entirely new features, I'm asking for whack-a-mole bug fixing time.

Gig Term: Very short term front-end webdev tasks (< 20 hours if you're qualified I'd guess - I'm paying for results, not $ / hr). If you want some extra cash and do front-end stuff for fun after your day job of front-end BS, keep reading.

$$$: $500 - $1500 USD is what I'm expecting. Faster is better because code maintainability went out the window and I fully expect to rewrite it or chuck it out the window.

Tasks: Bug fixes and possibly cosmetic improvements to a custom scrolling AJAX-based web form. If you know stupid div visibility, float, negative margins, and scrolling tricks galore, this will probably be an easy grand for you.

You are: a HTML, CSS, DOM, Javascript proficient developer or are willing to slog the hours to Get It Done. Ideally you'd have done some work in Django but beyond a Postgres install and running pip install virtualenv && source bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && ./manage.py runserver and where to configure the asset pipeline you shouldn't need much more help. For frontend libraries, I run with the scissors known as JQuery and Bootstrap and have Underscore and Backbone in as well. I happen to have setup Django Pipeline so you can use Coffeescript, SASS, LESS, whatever else to get this done.

I'll provide: git repo access (it's on bitbucket), some guidance on where to start debugging, and the lifetime exclusive right to make fun of me on the Internet for terrible code.


Interested parties should send me an e-mail at djk29a åt gmail döt cøm or just PM me here. I'll send you a link to the page/pages that need fixing, description of the desired behavior, and you can give me an initial estimate based upon the HTML, CSS, and minified JS and get one more chance to adjust after you see the actual JS. You know my budget, and if you read my forum history you know I'm not going to rip you off.

The problem with SEO is all the real experts are going to be at least $150/hour and their work will be subject to the perpetual arms race that is search engines vs SEO experts, meaning you'll see very little return on that investment unless it's an ongoing thing you're doing.

My advice for a small business would be to certainly make sure your site is crawlable by search spiders but don't waste money on SEO voodoo.

Location: Waterloo, ON
Languages: C, C++, C#, Python, JavaScript/HTML5, ASP.NET, JSP, SQL
Things you like to do: I'm open to anything, but more partial to back end stuff
Contact: PM or email jay@toxicedge.com

This may be kind of a long shot, but I'm starting to look for a co-op position for the next term. Looking anywhere in the Waterloo/Cambridge/Burlington/Toronto area starting in May for either 8 or 16 months (or 8 months starting next January if you really like planning ahead, I guess).

Evidently, I'm still a student so I'm not anywhere near an expert in anything yet, but I have a good working knowledge of windows, linux, and QNX if RTOS is your thing. I'm decently good at low level/embedded stuff but would probably be a bit more comfortable in a web/.NET shop if possible. If anyone has any possible openings or even just suggestions of companies that might, I'm all ears. I have a couple leads already but I figure you can never have too many applications out.

BLAM! Internet Found!
Who I Am: A operations admin/developer with an idea for a game.
What I'm doing: A small freelance project for the mobile platform.
What I can do: System administration, Linux automation, backend applications, database administration.
What I can't do (and what I'm looking for): iOS developer.
Why I need that person: While I have a background in .NET (C#), I'm not a designer. The objective-C world is really tough to wrap my head around.

What I need specifically: The game requires three simple (heh) areas: Front End (Application), Back End (server) and Database. I'm an expert in the backend and database side of the world, but when it comes to developing an application, I can't handle the front end. So unless people want to play a game from the command line, I need help.

If you are an iOS developer, want to freelance a small project, and want to work with a guy that has an idea that wants to come to live, email me at obliviam at gmail.com. I don't want to get into details about the game itself, because there's many aspects of it that are still up in the air. This invitation comes with absolutely no obligation and you can pass immediately if the game doesn't suit your taste.

Who We Are: A small, profitable development shop- wsra.com

What We Do: Mostly custom web-based entertainment apps, with some other boring stuff too.

What We Need: We're looking for a competent IOS (and Android?) dev who can deliver a polished, solid, but relatively simple app ready for, and published to the store. An ideal person would be an experienced dev looking for some low-stress after hours work with a flexible schedule, but if you can demonstrate ability and responsibility, no professional experience is OK.

Where We Are Located: Central Florida. You can work from anywhere so long as you can send us code, and we can send you money, and its legal for you to do so.

Details:

This is a paid, contracted, legit gig. Terms and rates are negotiable, and will be agreed upon to both parties satisfaction before anything happens, and should be a win-win for both of us. We have considered doing this in house, as we have a lot of Android experience and some IOS, but frankly, our plate is full and it makes more sense to farm it out. I'd also really like to build a relationship with someone we could rely on moving forward, and would be excited to work on this.

One of our most popular products is a web-based application. We'd like to have an app-store "version" which interfaces with the web-based version via a simple protocol, and incorporates tasteful ad display for revenue generation. The app would essentially be a native interface for the web application, sending configuration and requests to the web site, then displaying the results. Very little logic would be done on the app itself, short of interpreting the responses and displaying the data.

For example, think of an app that queries a forum site for posts, then collects the post data and displays it in a native format inside the app. Then, based on a limited choice of input from the user, passes the request back to the server, gets the response, and then repeats the process. Like a glorified thin client app.

It's really pretty simple, but would need to be polished for our demographic. Creative assets are available, since branding will mirror the existing site. We're open to input on GUI and functionality, or we can provide turn-key PSD's for interfaces.

If you could do an Android version as well, that would be even better.

Also, if this does as well as we think, it could be an on-going source of extra-revenue with super flexible timelines. We'd also be open to providing additional incentives to a long term developer, to share in the success.

If you are seriously interested, please contact me at webmaster A T wsra DOT com and we'll provide you with the details.

I always go to SA for my contractors first, so don't let me down, good Goons!

Wait, wait. I'm a bit confused by your last sentence. Are you saying you have shitloads of openings for software developers and you have a lot of cash but you won't be paying for relocation? So basically anyone applying to any of those jobs has to be local to the position they want, or willing to pay to relocate themselves? Or do you mean something else when you say 'unlikely to relocate you ourselves'?

"We have a bunch of money but no we won't pay to fly you over" thanks for flaunting it I guess?

Some people like me live in Australia and where most big jobs will pay for relocation, they get instant priority. The less experienced devs might go for the ones without relocation because they're desperate, but the really experienced devs would lean towards the ones that do pay for it, I'd assume.

Relocation is usually a pretty easy bargaining point after you've passed the interview. You'd probably have to adjust down your negotiation rate though. I would probably start my counter ~5% higher than normal and walk down to relo.

If they nickel-and-dime like that when they're trying to attract new people, what kind of garbage do they pull once people have been there a while? In what kind of other ways are they short-sighted? It sets off little alarm bells in my head, especially after my last job which was rife with ridiculous penny-wise, pound-foolish policies.

I don't know that it's all that big of an indicator of their decision making - probably just a symptom of fast growth. When you're a small company, you tend to hire local. We certainly did - it's only recently that we've put more effort into bringing people in from further afield; our most recent hire is also the first guy we paid relocation for (that I can think of, anyway).

Lots of stuff changes as you grow, and it sounds like these guys are growing fast. To me, their situation looks like a pretty good time to get in.

Who We Are: A small, profitable development shop- wsra.com

What We Do: Mostly custom web-based entertainment apps, with some other boring stuff too.

What We Need: We're looking for a competent IOS (and Android?) dev who can deliver a polished, solid, but relatively simple app ready for, and published to the store. An ideal person would be an experienced dev looking for some low-stress after hours work with a flexible schedule, but if you can demonstrate ability and responsibility, no professional experience is OK.

Sent you an email.

I will however update that posting by saying that we now have over 250,000 paying orgs, not the 150k mentioned in that posting from just 10 months ago, that's what our growth curve is like.

We're on a big hiring binge, we're cashed up massively (most recently from a $150 million capital raising a few months ago) and our customers love our product.

We're a .net C# shop, but experience in any language is appreciated.

Please PM or email me at my username at hotmail.com before applying, our referral bonus is pretty sweet. Also note that we're unlikely to relocate you ourselves. edit: This may not necessarily be true, we have no official relocation policy, but we'd consider it if you were the best fit, negotiate!

We hire plenty of aussies, though mostly in sales and customer support. But we have some development happening out of Melbourne. Keep F5ing our careers page.

Or come live in NZ, we're not as racist over here. (still kind of racist sometimes). And we don't treat aussies here like kiwis are treated over there, we consider you people! (with silly voices)

We have lots of people from overseas working in our head office, but they all came to NZ of their own volition. Immigrating to NZ isn't that hard, it works off a point system, and if you have a few years experience in IT and an job offer you're more or less guaranteed to get in as long as you don't have a criminal record.

Moving people from various cities is one thing, but paying to transport someone from overseas is way riskier, a lot of migrants tend to bounce within a year or two because they or their partners get home sick.

I always advise that you come here for a holiday, and schedule some interviews while you're there.
