San Francisco, CA
Sociable Labs is building the future of social commerce and we're looking for a few more engineers to help. Your technology stack is less important - we're looking for smart people with great communication in a passion for learning.
Our product is essentially a more advanced version of facebook's social plugins, with a strong focus on analytics, A/B testing, and ROI. See a couple of examples at http://www.backcountry.com/mens-clothing ("These people have asked their friends..." section in the center below the fold) and http://www.active.com/running/stockton-ca/run-and-walk-again... ("Connect with friends" section on the right)
We have a modular JavaScript front end that works with the Facebook platform and makes use of cutting edge technologies like localStorage and CORS (cross-domain ajax).
Our back end is Java / Jetty / Postgres on Amazon EC2. We're using Guava, Guice, and a number of other interesting pieces to keep clean, testable code. We're also using Apache Hadoop for analytics.
We offer competitive pay, great benefits (including the best PTO policy I've ever seen), and an enjoyable working environment.

I work on the front-end but feel free to ask me questions about anything. If I don't know, I'll get you to the right person. Reply here or email nathan@[company site].com
