Flow’s API driven platform enables merchants to sell & ship globally from their own sites, solving all cross-border pain points throughout the entire e-commerce supply chain, such as local payment methods, international shipping options, and all aspects of the upstream site localization such as duty/tax calculation, local pricing and product restrictions.

The result is a next-generation platform for cross-border commerce, focused on customer experience and maximizing conversion rates.

TheLadders - New York, NY (Mostly on-site, remote and H1B for the right candidate)

---

We're looking primarily for front-end developers to help us build out our completely redesigned job-matching site. We have openings for back-end and iOS positions as well.

We're in the sweet spot, not quite a startup and not a giant company. As such, we have the ability to invest in our engineers: an annual $3K stipend for training, conferences--whatever grows you. Since we're also not that large, you'll have your fingerprints all over our product, seeing your designs and implementation in production. Read about what we do and how we do it: http://dev.theladders.com/

Backbone, SaSS, java, Scala, clojure, MySQL, Couchbase, RabbitMQ and friends all play a large part in our architecture.

If you're intellectually curious and have a desire to learn (and teach) on a daily basis, get in touch: [email protected]

TheLadders is seeking experienced Front-end Developers, Software Engineers & Devops Engineers to help us fulfill our mission of finding the right person for the right job. We've been around 10 years, are profitable, and have a team of 25 bright engineers working on the newest iteration of our job-matching site. We've rewritten it from scratch, the front-end using backbone and sass, powered by a java/scala backend. Read about what we're doing and how we're doing it here: http://dev.theladders.com/ ... Unlimited Vacation, we invest in our engineers --I've personally gone to 7 conferences and training sessions so far and I've been at TheLadders a year-- no cap on conference/training budget.

New York, NY - Full-time, H1B possible

TheLadders

---------------

TheLadders (http://theladders.com) is hiring for a number of open roles to help us find the right person for the right job. We're a growing team looking for front-end developers, designers, UX, devops--the whole gamut. We believe in our team, offering unlimited vacation, competitive salaries, and no cap on training and conference budgets. Here's a brief description of the roles (as written by a software engineer, so keep that perspective in mind)

Devops/Systems Engineer: we use puppet. We have our own hardware, use VSphere, run mostly CentOS.

Designers: we've redesigned our jobseeker-facing site to be completely responsive. We're using sass and all that fun stuff.

Front-end developers: we're using backbone, mustache, sass to build a single-page application to help our jobseekers be as informed as possible when making their next career move. We've rolled our own graphics implementation for some visualizations, so if that sounds interesting get in touch.

Software Engineers: our backend is written in java, scala, with some tools in python and other languages. We're not married to any language, framework, or architecture, and many of us have been personally playing more with erlang and clojure in the hopes of using them in newer projects. Check out a blog post I've recently written up about one of the more fun projects I've done recently: http://dev.theladders.com/2013/07/denormalize-the-datas-for-...
