Software Developer (functional programming / OCaml) at Jane Street (New York, NY; Hong Kong; London, England)
View Original Posting
Jane Street is looking to hire great software developers with an interest in functional programming. OCaml, a statically typed functional programming with similarities to Haskell, Erlang, F# and SML, is our language of choice. We've got the largest team of OCaml developers in any industrial setting, and probably the world's largest OCaml codebase. We use OCaml for running our entire business, supporting everything from research to systems administration to trading systems. If you're interested in seeing how functional programming plays out in the real world, there's no better place.
The atmosphere is informal and intellectual. There is a focus on education, and people learn about software and trading, both through formal classes and on the job. The work is challenging, and you get to see the practical impact of your efforts in quick and dramatic terms. Jane Street is also small enough that people have the freedom to get involved in many different areas of the business. Compensation is highly competitive, and there's a lot of room for growth.
You can learn more about Jane Street and our technology from our main site, http://janestreet.com. You can also look at a a talk given at CMU about why Jane Street uses functional programming (http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/61), our programming blog (http://ocaml.janestreet.com), and some papers we've written about our experience using functional programming in the real world (http://janestreet.com/technology/articles.php)
We also have extensive benefits, including:
* 90% book reimbursement for work-related books * 90% tuition reimbursement for continuing education * Excellent, zero-premium medical and dental insurance * Free lunch delivered daily from a selection of restaurants * Catered breakfasts and fresh brewed Peet's coffee * An on-site, private gym in New York with towel service * Kitchens fully stocked with a variety of snack choices * Full company 401(k) match up to 6% of salary, vests immediately * Three weeks of paid vacation for new hires in the US * 16 weeks fully paid maternity/paternity leave for primary caregivers, plus additional unpaid leave

A Secretary with extra duties in events planning or writing in New York City. (Brooklyn, ny)
View Original Posting
For the past ten-plus years, I've been that ubiquitous creature in New York -- a theater person with a day job. But -- I've not been a actress. However - what I have done could serve very well as "training" for other duties called for in the corporate world:
1. I'm a stage manager, which I have once described to someone as "kind of like a secretary only I work with sillier objects." Stage managers facilitate all the different aspects of a production have to produce things and lead a team to produce things on a set schedule. We also oversee each performance of a show, overseeing -- or doing -- the setup, performance, and after-show cleanup, coordinating with stagehands, ushers, actors, and audience. We also are responsible for trouble-shooting and problem-solving on the fly. We also have some technical expertise, from running lights or sound equipment.
2. I'm also a literary manager, which calls for a lot of writing, reading, editing, and proofreading.
3. Finally, I have a regular writing gig, writing short articles for a theater company in Pennsylvania, one I've held for the past seven years.
As for the secretarial experience -- I have that in spades. I have worked in media, television, finance, law, education, nonprofits, and finance, and have done so for over twelve years. The television position also called for me to do web content writing, sales, and program proposal writing. I am an expert at all MS Office programs, and know some basic HTML and Quark.
I don't so much have a preference for what field I work in, so much as I'd love to find a secretarial position SOMEWHERE that will let me combine all of these disparate elements into a single job -- either a secretarial job who does a hell of a lot of writing, or a special events assistant who types and files and, oh yeah, is on the team for planning out the big corporate event but does more for the team aside from JUST type and file (i.e., "come up with the plan for scheduling when we bring in the food" or "meet with the designers in the function hall and work out how long it'll take them to hang the decorations", etc).
Basically, I've been a temp for twelve years and would like to not be a temp anymore, and the things that I did when I wasn't temping would make me a unique candidate for someone somewhere.

Ruby Developer at Wildfire Interactive, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA)
View Original Posting
About Wildfire Interactive:
Wildfire Interactive is a rapidly expanding, VC-funded tech startup positioned squarely on top of the social media marketing revolution. Our platform allows brand managers and marketers of all shapes and sizes to quickly create a variety of promotional campaigns to engage and interact with the users and fans of their brands.
Intuitive, streamlined and affordable, Wildfire's platform is simple enough for even the least tech-savvy business manager to use and flexible enough to suit the needs of the most creative marketer or advertising agency. We have tens of thousands of customers, including hundreds of major brands such as Pepsi, Disney, Nestle, American Express, Unilever and Toyota. The success of our product has been recognized not only by our growing fan base but also by a collection of established institutions. Wildfire is a 2x winner of the Facebook Fund, a TechCrunch Crunchies Award nominee, and was recently chosen for the 2010 AlwaysOn Global 250, as one of the best 250 private companies in the world.
Job Description:
We are looking for truly talented Ruby developers with a passion for clean code and great products. Our current technology stack includes Ruby on Rails & Sinatra, and we're in the process of building a number of "pure Ruby" components. We're also using some NoSQL solutions - at the moment, Redis and Cassandra are regular tools. This list gets longer as our problems change, so you'll need to be excited about learning and applying new solutions.
We work with the Twitter and Facebook APIs every day, so experience with OAuth or external APIs of any kind is a major plus. We also use Git - you don't need to be a ninja (you can learn from our resident expert) but you should be familiar with it.
We're all "full-stack" developers, so whilst you don't necessarily need to know the ins-and-outs of Javascript lexical scoping, you should probably know what $() does in jQuery (we also use Prototype, either is fine). The usual CSS/HTML familiarity is a given.;)
We care about quality. Writing unit tests using modern framework like Shoulda, RSpec, or Cucumber should be second nature to you, and you should be comfortable performing and receiving code reviews.
We are working on an exciting mix of improving and scaling our highly successful existing apps, developing entirely new apps, and taking our overall architecture to the next level.
Our team is fast, smart and independent. Many of our developers are Rails Core Contributors, and we encourage Open Source contributions and community participation. It's a fun team to work with based in a really cool office in Palo Alto, California. You can check out the team here: http://github.com/wildfireapp.
You should be willing to relocate to the Bay Area in case the needs arises, but need to be based there to start.
If you're interested, please send us:
* Your github username * A short description of something really cool you've worked on - code or tech-related, and preferably as your own project rather than something as part of an existing job. Perhaps a Ruby gem, or an iPhone app - surprise us!

Please get this creative guy out of spreadsheet central. (Richmond, VA)
View Original Posting
Business Process Management is not for me. Writing and editing are for me. I've been working in web content management for intranet and internet sites for three years now, and I'm surrounded by spreadsheets and whiteboards. I'd like to get back into a more creative line of work. I'm a former newspaper and magazine writer and editor who now knows his way around a few content management systems, but I don't want to sit around creating tiny page components and deploying workflows all day.
