This is an excellent opportunity to learn Extreme Programming by working side-by-side with Pivotal's talented and experienced developers while at the same time getting in on the ground floor of a small and dynamic product team.
Pivotal Labs and our clients place a strong emphasis on Agile development and its many aspects: Pair Programming, Test-Driven Development, rapid iterations, and frequent refactoring. General technical requirements include serious web development experience, and a significant subset of Ruby, Rails, CSS, JavaScript, or MySQL.

Our revolutionary marketplace also features a comprehensive inventory management backend platform for tour suppliers, enabling them to manage their entire business and sell trips or drive leads directly online – this is already implemented across 500 tour suppliers…and adding several each day.
oneforty is a Twitter ecosystem/API venture with considerable traction. oneforty comes with all the excitement and opportunity of a Techstars startup backed by talented and successful investors/advisers who have built some of the best known companies on the web. The founder authored Twitter for Dummies and does tons of press and public speaking and the investors and advisors include Guy Kawasaki, Laura Rippy, Jeff Bennett and many others. oneforty has closed their angel round and is looking for RoR developers fired up about building something that will be highly visible and well-promoted.
Mavenlink is a funded startup that is changing the way people find experts who can help them and is providing the necessary tools to get their work done online. We are founded on the principle that virtually everybody needs qualified professional services that are readily accessible, affordable, and there when they need them. We’ve been working with Pivotal Labs to get our product launched, so we’re serious about being agile and we’ve got the right engineering process in place. This is a unique opportunity to join the Mavenlink team and contribute significantly to the direction of the company. We're looking for someone who is not only passionate about development, but also shares our vision for the tools and capabilities necessary for making remote work better than working in person for both the client and the maven.
Honk.com is a new online automotive website that will make car shopping fun and social. We will enable consumers to experience a new way to explore new cars. We have partnered with a top social website to deliver this new way of car shopping and are funded by one of the largest media companies in the world. Our small team is made up of an experienced group of humble, efficient, and hyper-passionate individuals who are veterans of the automotive industry and social media space. We are proud of our ego-less culture, one that promotes team thinking, not individual accolades. If you're interested in helping prove that social media and car buying go hand in hand, social networks serve a bigger purpose than keeping up with one's day, and a small team can outdo the work of an army - then we may have a seat waiting for you.
If you are interested or for more information please contact each company directly. This is an exclusive service provided to our clients, no external companies or recruiters please.
