Devs Without Borders <http://devswithoutborders.org>, the organization
behind the upcoming <Br/eak>PovertyHackathon
<http://devswithoutborders.org/breakpoverty> are looking for students with
a background in development, hardware or software, who want to learn new
technologies, build awesome stuff and work with smart people in Toronto and
Kenya.
The <Br/eak>Poverty Hackathon will bring charitable-minded developers
together to build life changing applications for the developing world.
These apps will help those in rural and impoverished areas with farming,
small business, health and education: as many of their own channels to
technology, communication and knowledge is through their mobile device.
The winning app will be test launched by the Charity Event Partner Free The
Children in rural Kenya.
This will be Canada’s first International Development hackathon to connect
developers in Toronto and Nairobi to build applications on web and mobile
that benefit individuals living in rural and impoverished areas in East
Africa. Hosted at Bitmaker Labs in Toronto, with Kenyan Attendees
teleconferencing in, teams will be able to create meaningful projects from
scratch in just 25 hours.

Student Developer tickets are only $12!
(Location: New York City)
NYC-based 2 person team (one is a Waterloo Math grad) from Wall Street and
the banking industry looking for a great full stack developer to help solve
a problem that plagues our clients. We’re building a minimum viable product
(MVP) for a financial technology concept that will provide a scalable
solution for our client base.
We’re looking for 2 things:
1. An experienced developer that can implement and finish projects on time.
2. A developer who can strip away features in the app’s core to get the
first iteration up and working in 3 to 4 weeks.
We have no strict requirements regarding tech choices other than that your
stack should be well established: Rails, Django, MEAN etc. We prefer
deployment on Heroku, digital ocean or Amazon.
The project is straightforward but solves a very large problem affecting
millions of people with suboptimal investments. It’s an opportunity for a
talented developer to really raise the bar and put their passion into a
project that has deep meaning and value.
We are based at WeWork, one of the best technology and startup hubs in New
York City and the world (
https://www.wework.com/locations/new-york-city/nomad).
- Estimated Length: MVP (1 month) with opportunity for 4-month or
full-time role
- Desired Start Date: Fall 2015
- Location: New York City (exceptions permitted; please contact for
details)
- Remuneration: USD $35-45/hr (depending on experience, higher for
full-time)
- Contact Information: Jeremy Lee (jerlee(a)gmail.com)
- Company based out of WeWork tech community (www.wework.com)

Hello CSC!
I'd like to invite you all to attend a tech talk by Bloomberg engineer Mo El-Tahan on Thurs Feb 5th at 5:00pm in the Fishbowl (DC 1301).
Mo has undergraduate and masters degrees in computer science and six years of industry experience in real-time big data processing. He will explore various design and implementation techniques to successfully process millions of market data events per second and billions daily with virtually no delay.
Bloomberg engineers and former co-ops will also be available after the talk to discuss technology at Bloomberg and our Software Engineer career opportunities for co-ops and full-time hires.
And, of course, there will be pizza and free swag for all!

Hope to see you there,
Toria Gibbs
Software Developer & Technical Recruiter
Bloomberg LP
Rakuten, Inc. is holding an info session on Tuesday, November 4th (next
Tuesday!) in TC2218(A&B) from 5-6 pm. They are recruiting both undergrad
and Masters students for post-graduation employment. The company is
located in Tokyo, Japan, and they are hiring for positions located at head
office, so if you're interested in working in Japan, come out and take a
look!
-------------------------------------
Information about the company: Rakuten, Inc. calls themselves an "online
real-estate company". Their main business operation, Rakuten Ichiba, is
similar in nature to Amazon's online shopping business. In addition,
Rakuten has many other business ventures, including a travel site (focused
on intra-Japan travel) and financial ventures, as well as owning
subsidiaries such as the Canadian e-book company Kobo Inc., located in
Toronto.
Rakuten is one of the most internationally-facing companies in Japan,
priding themselves on the fact that the company's main language of business
is English, rather than Japanese, and they are both actively recruiting
English speakers as well as actively trying to increase the English
proficiency of their Japanese employees.
----------------------------------------
Please see the attached flyer for additional information about the info
session.
