Lithium is looking for new graduates who want to learn by doing. We're a
small and agile company where everyone's contribution matters. There's
no formal training program here – on your first day, you'll be working
alongside everyone else at Lithium: writing code, testing the software,
doing research, building a great company.
We like people who set the curve, or who've started businesses in
school, or who've done interesting projects – anything that shows
passion and drive. If you're going to be a software developer, we'd like
some upper level CS cl*****, but we're not terribly picky about the
major as long as you've got good coding chops. Most of all, we're
looking for people who've got that start-up attitude – maybe a little
impatient, or a little different, but always ready to jump into
something great.
We build social software that people love to use, and we're passionate
about online communities.
We're looking for developers and QA engineers to start in both January
and June. We're also looking for a product analyst to start in June.
Here's a quick summary of the positions:
Software Engineer
Software engineers at Lithium write code that millions of people use
every day. They're smart, driven, intense, and sometimes a little crazy.
They work in teams of four or five, so everyone's contribution matters
and there's plenty of on-the-job mentoring. Even our most senior
engineers are always learning, so expect to do a little bit of mentoring
yourself. We develop in Java, with some JavaScipt and AJAX thrown in,
but the best engineers aren't language purists, they're people who are
passionate about solving problems and delighting customers.
Quality Assurance Engineer
QA engineers love the challenge of the new and the unknown. They like
the batter better than the cake. They like to ****ne light in dark
corners and watch the bugs scurry around. They like to find new ways to
make things more efficient, whether it's writing a script to automate
drudgery, or suggesting a process improvement that saves everyone time.
The best QA engineers may not have formal computer science training, but
they're scientists by nature so they love to experiment – or perhaps the
word is "hack."
Product Analyst
Product analysts love to digest large amounts of information, synthesize
it, and make recommendations. They may spend days analyzing competitive
products, then present the high points to the company. The next day,
they may be deep in the Web logs, figuring out how people use
communities and where they get stuck. If you're the kind of person who
read a 300-page book the day before history class, then wowed the
professor with your insights, then turned around and aced the econ exam,
then came home and edited an article on Wikipedia, this may be the best
job you'll ever have.

Attention Cal Grads
If you're a Berkeley grad, there are some bonuses:
* Our CEO, VP of Product Development, lead product manager, and
half of our marketing department all went to Cal.
* We're located just a couple of miles from campus, so if your
friends haven't graduated yet, you can still hang with them – and we've
got ping-pong, pool, a nice TV, and video games, so you may make new
friends.
* We'll be interviewing on campus in November, so you can send your
resume in through CalJobs and we'll check it out!
