Code, design, Halo. Sound like an ideal weekend?
That's how we at Amicus (YC S12) often spend our weekends. Being productive and having a blast.
At Amicus, you can do good, do well and have loads of fun in the process. You can improve lives and work on interesting problems. For instance:
We helped win marriage equality: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/the-social-network-effect-that-is-helping-legalize-gay-marriage/265793/
We're well funded: http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/13/amicus/
We work on interesting problems:
-A realtime collaborative community environment for supporters of non-profits to communicate, and provide each other encouragement. This will involve realtime javascript with node.js, socket.io, and backbone.js
-Machine learning and/or statistical analysis on demographics and how they relate to outreach/fundraising effectiveness
-Open source projects, including our own in house, soon to be open sourced, real time Model View Presenter javascript framework with bi-directional data binding
-Realtime data visualization with D3, including D3's map projection, to create data visualization's to help client's understand the impact Amicus is having on their organization
-And for lulz: A Minecraft mod/voxel.js project for devirtualizing virtualized servers. Basically a minecraft mod that allows you to control AWS instances by putting down/picking up blocks :-)
Sound interesting? Want to change the world for the better? See more details at http://jobs.amicushq.com/ and then shoot us an email at jobs+HNweekend@amicushq.com with a link to your github and why you think you'd be a good fit.
