Transcriptic is the "Amazon Web Services" for life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.
We're looking for highly talented full-stack web developers as well as combined background EE/CS engineers for automation integration and development. Experience reverse engineering USB based protocols is a plus.
We're a very small startup (you'd be #4), but well funded and have customers. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a really small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.
A biology background is preferred but not strictly necessary for outstanding people. The codebase is mostly Ruby and Scala, with some Python.

At CircleCI (https://circleci.com), we're building Heroku for Continuous Integration. We have traction and revenue (and funding!). Our customers love us, because we move quickly and provide amazing support. All employees talk to customers and are on support rotation.
We eat our own dogfood, DevOps, A/B test, do Continuous Deployment and Customer Development.
We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook. SF-local employees have catered lunch every day.
The frontend is a fat javascript client, using HamlCoffee, Less and Knockout. We have a lot of interesting design and data-visualization problems that need to be solved, as well as A/B testing, landing page creation and funnel optimization.
The backend is written in Clojure. Backend engineers should know Clojure or another 'weird' language (Haskell, Scala, Scheme, etc), and Linux Devops (C compilation model, make, packaging).
Contact us at jobs@circleci.com. Include samples of awesome stuff you've done.

Lead Embedded Firmware Developer
We're seeking an engineer to lead development of the embedded C/C++ code running on the robot's microcontroller. While the person will be responsible for the overall firmware development, the key component is the balancing and driving algorithm. Experience developing complex motor control loops is a must, such as robotic arms or even balancing robots.
You will be responsible for all aspects of the firmware, including communication protocols, encoders, motors, LEDs, etc.
You will refine and improve the balancing and driving control loop.
Your input will have a significant and lasting impact on the company and products.
You will have the opportunity to grow into a leadership role.
You should have relevant hands-on experience with complex motor control loops.
Formal degrees are optional. Please show past professional and/or side projects. jobs@doublerobotics.com
Mozilla is hiring!
Interns, developers, PMs, marketers, you name it.
http://careers.mozilla.org/en-US/
If you want to do an internship and do design rather than coding work, I'd still suggest you apply. I don't think Mozilla is so big yet that we'll toss an intern's resume just because it doesn't match up perfectly with one of our outstanding intern requests.
