About PlayHaven

PlayHaven is a tech startup based in San Mateo, CA. We've received funding from Tandem Entrepreneurs and LaunchBox Digital.

If you think you�re up to the challenge, please submit your resume, a brief cover letter, and some examples of your past work.

Bonus Design Challenge

Overview
PlayHaven grew out of a product called MyGameMug. At MGM, our goal was to give gamers a personality test (similar to the Myers-Briggs) and based on their results, feed them recommendations of other users with similar "gaming personalities." From a high level, describe your solution to this problem.

Details/Requirements
A user's personality is represented by a tuple across n (currently 11) dimensions. Each tuple member is a decimal from 0 to 1. (e.g. {"altruistic","competitive","skilled",...} -> {0.43,0.76,0.33,...}).
Scalable up to 100s of millions of users.
Should be able to report "why" the found individual is a good match.
Once results become available to the user, retrieving them should take < 1s.
How complex is it to add a new user's personality? How complex is it to query for a user's matches?

Deliverables
Do not build this, please. Instead, explain how you would design it. What computers are involved? What processes are involved? What communication is involved? What sharing of data is going on and how can it be accomplished? Give us your solution in whatever format you think makes the most sense (text files/graphics/pseudo-code/whatever). If there are holes in the requirements, show us you can make reasonable assumptions, and explain yourself. There is no single "right" answer, but there are some wrong ones :)

Hello, and welcome to an ad we promise will be time well spent. First, allow us to introduce ourselves. So hi, we�re OogaLabs. Nice to meet to you. Love the shoes. Where are you from? Really? We have a cousin from there.

But enough small talk. Let�s get down to why we�re both here � we�re looking for brilliant engineers, and you, as luck would have it, just might be one. Now, when we say brilliant, we don�t necessarily mean you got a perfect score on your SATs (though we won�t complain if you did) or were the Jeopardy champion for 27 straight weeks (though if you were, we might question why you�re reading ads on Craigslist instead of flying in private jets or purchasing tropical islands), but that you have a passion for finding that uniquely elegant solution. You love to build stuff. You feel personally invested in your work. You know your way around more than a few languages, and want to learn the ones you don�t. You�ve got a stack of offers for cushy corporate cube jobs littering your inbox, but can�t quite bring yourself to sign on the dotted line. You stay up late nights coding not because you�re getting paid to do so (don�t worry, we�ll pay you to do so) but for the sheer joy of coding.

Still with us? Great. We�ve still got a few more things to say, so if you need to go fix yourself a little snack, go ahead. Don�t worry, we�ll wait.

Welcome back. Okay, now that we�ve talked about what kind of person we know in our heart of hearts you are, let�s talk about what kind of place we are. Our goal is simple: to create and build Internet companies loved by millions and millions of people. Companies that will do more good than evil, and maybe even make this planet of ours a slightly nicer place to spend some time. Sites that we can talk about like WonderHill.com, PlacePop.com and MedPedia.com, sites that have big red �top secret� stamps on them, and sites that are still residing on the back burner of that beautiful brain of yours.

Luckily, we have the means to actually make these companies. We�re mostly self-funded (our founders passed on tropical island ownership to spend their cash on starting OogaLabs), and so have complete control over all of our products. You�ll be mentored by people who have built successful companies in the past, and in addition to salary you�ll get equity in every product you develop.

We like exceptional engineering talent with a wide range of skills: Ruby, PHP, Python, front-end, design�

So that, in a very large nutshell, is what we�re looking for. We hope this post will be as good a reason as any for you to send your resume or, at the very least, was a cracking good read.

Software Developer - Ventana (SOMA / south beach)

2009-11-10T13:52:09-08:00

If you're looking to do serious software development, work with outstanding people, solve incredibly difficult computation and machine learning problems, and embrace agile techniques � all while revolutionizing our $2.4 trillion healthcare industry by empowering consumers � this is the place for you. We're looking for talented, dedicated, and passionate developers to join our team.

While we would be surprised if you had all of the following in your quiver, some examples of what we would love to discover in your background or professional goals include:

* Deep mastery of at least one object-oriented or functional programming language
* Fluency in machine learning, statistical analysis, pattern recognition, or artificial intelligence � or just an excellent record in math
* A true passion for coding and the ability to inspire others to create great code
* Interest in and experience with Lean Thinking and Agile practices (TDD, XP, etc)
* Proficiency with relational databases and/or tuning complex, resource-intensive, mission-critical applications to achieve maximum performance
* A taste for exploring innovative technologies such as Ruby, Clojure, Git, Cloud Computing, Key-Value stores, RabbitMQ, Hadoop, Map/Reduce, etc.
* A passion for startups

Right now, we primarily use Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Linux, and Apache because we believe that technology should work for us, not the other way around. We understand that new problems may require new solutions, so we're looking for people who can identify the next big thing and share it with us, but are pragmatic enough to understand that Clojure is not a cure for cancer and TokyoCabinet will not broker world peace.

Let us know if this sounds like your kind of environment and you want to join our team. In addition to a resume and a note about yourself, please send us a solution to one of the puzzles below.

Puzzles

We know that solving a puzzle takes some time, so all puzzle submissions will receive a response.

An enchanted hat

At a particular school, an enchanted hat assigns each incoming student to one of four residential houses. School lore says that the hat sorts students into houses entirely on the basis of personality and moral character. But this year, a rumor is circulating that the hat actually assigns each student completely randomly.

The Headmaster hopes to disprove the rumor and reasons that if she can show the hat's assignments to be somewhat predictable, it cannot be assigning randomly. Before the students are sorted, she speaks with each student and privately writes down her prediction of which house that student will be assigned to.

If she does not predict accurately every time, what is the smallest number of students (m), and the corresponding number of correct predictions (n, n < m) that would give us a high level of confidence (say, 99% certainty) that the hat is not completely random in its sorting?

If the headmaster's predictions are always wrong, would a sufficient number of wrong predictions (w) disprove the rumor with similarly high confidence?

Odd bag out

You have 5 unmarked bags with 100 beads each. Bags #1-4 contain 4 red beads and 96 black beads; bag #5 contains 7 red beads and 93 black beads. You randomly select one of the five bags and remove three beads without looking inside the bag. One is red, and the other two are black. What is the probability that you drew the beads from bag #5?

Return the three beads to the bag and give it a good shake to mix things up. In the best-case scenario, what is the minimum number of beads you can withdraw, one at a time, to identify this bag as bag #5 with at least 50% certainty?

Why Join Ventana?

Excel

Putting people first is deeply ingrained in Ventana's culture. We hire only the most talented individuals and empower them to make a difference and get things done. We have daily stand-ups and regular retrospectives. We figure out what we're doing wrong so we can fix it, and what we're doing right so we can make it better.

You will be given the freedom to hone your craft without endless buy-in meetings or dull tools. For example, on your first day at Ventana, you tell us which computer, keyboard, mouse, office chair, and code editor make you the most productive, and we'll get them. (Within reason � no MetroNaps!)

Change the world

The impact of your opinions, ideas, strategies, and potential will not be limited by your role or job title. This is your opportunity to play an active role in Ventana from the beginning, to make a mark and call it your own. You will have the support of a proven management team and a strong business model � take that, Social Networking Company #644!

It is also a unique chance for you to deliver ground-breaking, disruptive services and technology that will fundamentally change one of the largest and most powerful industries in the United States.

Ventana is small enough that you can make a difference, yet big enough to positively impact the lives of millions at the most fundamental level: the health of themselves and their loved ones.

Do the impossible

We know what you're thinking: "Anyone can change the world, even that Pet Rock guy. I want to do something hard."

As a software developer at Ventana, you will have to solve some of the toughest business, data-analysis, machine-learning, design, integration, and scalability problems of the IT world. You will be pioneering innovative engineering tools and techniques at the heart of one of the most challenging business domains.

Our leaders are successful healthcare entrepreneurs who know how to navigate the complex healthcare industry. We have a market opportunity, well-defined goals, a pragmatic mindset, and the funding to execute.

So why not join? Get in touch!

Ventana is an equal opportunity employer. Please do not respond to this job posting in person.
