Mirriad - London, UK - Full time - DevOps / Team Lead / Java Developer / C++ Developer - http://www.mirriad.com/
We are working to bring scale to embedding brands into video using automated video processing technology. We combine computer vision research with a cutting edge web platform, requiring a unique mix of talents in a small team.
We are looking for a number of roles to join our central London team (just behind the OXO tower).
DevOps / Systems Administrator : Responsible for our world-wide network of GPU compute nodes, and our migration to AWS. Mix old-school network administrator using Arista / Cisco hardware with awesome clusters of CUDA NVidia-enabled nodes linked with EMC Isilon storage for high-throughput video compute. Drive the adoption of deployment best-practice in the development teams, by deploying with Docker and Ansible onto AWS.
Team Lead : Responsible for building out our micro-services web platform in Java. Lead a highly capable team of developers to deliver product into our customers' hands. We have recently transitioned from Scrum to Kanban and are enjoying very regular deployments. Looking for experience in leading, and in Java development using TDD (as you would expect).
Java Developer : Join the above mentioned team and get to work on building our next generation platform. We are currently using AWS, Elastic Search, MongoDB, Spring Boot and Docker to build out our cluster of micro services. Testing and delivery should be your mantra.
C++ Developer : Join our video processing team, and help them deliver world-class computer vision research into our distributed ad-delivery pipeline. We use Qt, ActiveMQ, CUDA, CMake and deliver product for Linux and Windows from the same codebase.
Don't hesitate to get in touch if you're interested in joining the team.
Startup developing technology and the market for native in-video advertising. We are building the platform to match brands with content.

I was surprised at the number of tech firms in the list (e.g. Adobe, TI, NetApp, Cisco, Juniper) and the jobs that are listed are the engineering and other technical jobs. Reading the comments I wasn't expected any tech firms to be on the list.
Linking to the print version caught me slightly off guard, but otherwise an interesting article.
The author appears to be asking for a car manufacturer to build a one-size-fits-all car and make it cheap enough for everyone to be able to afford. I would be unsurprised to find that a car that meets his specification already exist, but is hidden by the wide range of options and alternatives offered by the various manufacturers (the curse of choice). So what the author is really asking for is for a manufacturer to pair-down their range and only offer one car, in black... While this might be possible for a start-up this is not possible for any of the large car companies. My example would be the Smart car, started with one design, and now has at least three or four different offerings to diversify their customer base.
Can anyone provide an example of an industry where choice has been significantly reduced over time?
Interesting implementation, I do like how they've kept the node graph simple. They've made the classic error of forcing you to register before you can play with the application. It's also little cumbersome to add nodes. A better interface might be to double click on the parent node to create a sub-node or something of that nature.
Kevin Kelly has added photographs to his 1994 book "Out of Control" and made it available as a free PDF download. He's experimenting with contextual ads, displayed alongside the document. They are opt-in, which is cool.
I had two thoughts when reading this:
1) Mythical Man Month...
2) If I was Apple would I have released the SDK with iPhone 1.0? Probably not. iPods became a market leader without a killer (externally developed) app. Why spend the effort to package-up the SDK, when it's not going to be key to your offering?
A very interesting look at the results of Google Insights. When I have a moment I'll see if I can find public sales/growth figures for a few companies and compare them to their Google Insight results to see whether there is any correlation.
Hmm, I'm not convinced about the "only build what you are going to use" argument. The best example I can think of is pace-makers (or any other form of life-saving equipment). A manufacturer of these devices cannot be a user, because they'd be dead...
