Menlo Park, CA - C++/CUDA Engineer <a href="http://www.nearbuysystems.com/company/cengineer" >http://www.nearbuysystems.com/company/cengineer</a>
Nearbuy Systems is a year-old startup working on indoor location-based services.  We've got two positions -- a C++/CUDA engineer to work on the "location" part and a ruby engineer for the "services" side.
Our location system fuses together multiple sensor feeds to get 1m accuracy indoors.  It's a highly parallel system with agressive performance requirements and a lot of fun problems.  "Services" encompasses a Rails frontend, a large distributed backend, data collection and reporting.  If you like ruby but aren't 100% frontend focused you'll fit right in.
We're a small engineering team (currently three people, growing to six).  We practice agile development, love playing with new technologies and know how to have a good time. Experience with something unusual and unrelated to the requirements is a big plus.
