Help us empower scientists by building usable research tools.
We’re looking for a full stack web developer to join us as employee number 1 at ShareLaTeX (www.sharelatex.com). Our flagship product is an online LaTeX editor that makes it trivial to get started with LaTeX and collaborate with your colleagues. Students and scientists love us, and now we’re looking to expand our team so that we can solve similar workflow problems in data analysis and numerical modelling (using Python and R).
You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past.
Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:
* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.
* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.
* We don’t expect you to have to fill up a 9-5, 40 hour work week. A work/life balance is important and we don’t think programming is an activity that can be neatly time boxed.
* You can work fully remotely (in fact, you probably will). The founders work remotely already.
* We’re a bootstrapped company with no outside investors.

- What We're Looking for -
TheLadders (http://www.theladders.com) is looking for full-time lead software engineers with experience building backend systems using JVM technologies. You will be responsible for helping to set the technical direction of the team, mentor other engineers, and contribute to the design and development of our products. If you're interested, email me at aturley@theladders.com.
- What We Do -
Our mission at TheLadders is to help people advance their careers by providing access to information and intelligence about jobs, jobseekers, and their professional networks. From the user's perspective this is accomplished through our websites and mobile apps. Under the hood, we have a technical infrastructure that uses Java, Scala, RabbitMQ, Storm, Clustrix, Couchbase, and a variety other technologies to deliver useful information to our users.
- Who We Are -
Our engineering team is committed to growing and improving. We like to share things that we've learned on our developer blog (http://dev.theladders.com/), each engineer is given a yearly conference budget, and we have a weekly meeting called The Conclave where engineers share what they know and what they've learned in the last week. We also take care of our engineers, with unlimited vacation, comprehensive health insurance, and competitive compensation.
At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills.

Hiring awesome developers.
We are in the process of a monstrous migration to C#. The application concerned is Vanessa, and Vanessa is big and complicated. We are not just migrating it, we’re building a completely new C# CRM meets ERP application from scratch. So no legacy code in our C# ;-). To do such a job in a very good way very very very intelligent developers are key.

My team is Observability at Twitter; we work on monitoring and we’re looking for distributed systems engineers and full-stack engineers. We are one of the largest monitoring stacks in the industry, writing up to 15 million metrics per second for all production services at Twitter. We also have a front-end service that is used every day by most engineers at Twitter. We write our services in Scala, use a state-of-art Cassandra-like database called Manhattan, and if you join, you’ll get to work on challenging problems from day one.
Here are some of the things we’ve done in the past 12 months: - Made our alerting execution service seamlessly fail over across datacenters - Implemented a temporal set membership service for our database to keep track of metric groupings - Added tiering policies for metrics based on their automatically-derived significance - Added hybrid online/offline processing of data for different use cases - Optimized the time-series query language to make reads more efficient - Made an asynchronous query processor to support expensive queries with lower latency requirements - Wrote a client-side agent that collects and reports metrics to the storage system
Our team is 12 people, including back-end, front-end, full-stack and reliability engineers. You can find out more by reading last year’s article here: https://blog.twitter.com/2013/observability-at-twitter.

Code Club is a network of over 2000 after-school coding clubs for children. We've created some great tools that help us recruit, support and manage volunteers and now we want to expand on those and share them with the world to help grow the number of Code Clubs outside of the UK.
WePay is looking for talented and motivated software engineers to join our rapidly expanding team. Our transaction volume has more than tripled year-over-year, and we need your help to scale our customers’ payments to even higher levels over the next few years. We are eager to grow our team of engineers who love programming, take pride in the quality of their code, and are at least decent at ping pong (rock climbing is a nice-to-have).
Requirements:
You must be a great coder that loves to write efficient and maintainable code. We believe that great coders can adapt to whichever new language they need to, whether it’s Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C++, Scala, Ruby, or any other SEO-optimized buzzword, so we don’t care what background you have (unless you have solely coded in brainfxck). And in fact, we have outgrown our current PHP-MySQL environment and are in the process of architecting our next-generation service-oriented architecture, so we will be excited to make full use of your experience and perspectives as we select the right tools for the job.
You must be able to take complete ownership over a bug, feature, or entire project and drive it to completion. We have to trust that each of our team members can work in relative independence because we hate micro-managing.
You must be open-minded, flexible, and have a pragmatic approach to solving problems. The payments industry can be baffling at times, so we value people who can persevere and continue to make progress with a positive attitude.
One or more of the following specialized skills would be awesome:
* Front-end expertise, including JavaScript, CSS, AngularJS
* Back-end expertise, including extensive database experience
* High Availability and Distributed Systems
* Big Data experience, including Hadoop and/or Storm
* Machine Learning and Modelling
* Experience in Risk and Fraud Detection
* Experience in payments and PCI compliance
* Expertise in Security
* Team Lead experience
If you have any interest or questions about WePay, please contact me directly at steven at wepay.com. I'm an engineer, not a recruiter, so your email will get a response.

Early Full-stack web engineer to join fast-growing education startup that changes how hundreds of thousands of kids learn math. Email jobs@frontrowed.com
== TL;DR - Reasons to care about working with Front Row ==
- A mission you can be proud of: kids using Front Row improve twice as much at math - Tremendous impact on a small team - Flexibility on what you work on, and autonomy over your schedule - Effective & exciting tools: Clojure, Haskell, PostgreSQL, Backbone.js, Ansible - Be part of a growing success: in just over a year after launch, we are in more than 6% of all US schools
== The Business ==
Millions of teachers around the USA are struggling to help 30+ students in their class learn math because every student is in their own place. In a typical fourth grade classroom, there may be students learning to count, students learning to add, students learning to multiply, and students learning how exponents work - and one teacher somehow needs to address all these needs.
Thousands of teachers use Front Row every day to save hours of time and make sure their students are growing quickly. Front Row active users have been growing 100% a month for the past 8 school months.
== The Role ==
As one of our very first engineers, you will be part of a team of developers who are passionate about their vocation, take pride in their craft and who push each other to grow as professionals. You will strive for pragmatism and 80/20 in your work. You will be using tools that provide you with the most leverage and make you most effective. By working really smart, you will produce more than the average developer ever will, but without the crazy hours.
You will work in an effective team that plans, executes and reflects together. Because we’re a small team, everything you create will go into production and be used by students. You will never do unimportant work: every contribution will make a clear and tangible impact on the company’s trajectory. Your personal success will be directly aligned with that of the company.

=== TL;DR ===
We believe that banking should be driven by the latest and greatest technologies, not legacy systems. As technology evolves, banking processes should evolve in sync, not lag behind. That is our goal here at Alphalend: to supercharge consumer lending and revolutionise the industry’s standard practice . Technology moves fast… nothing you read below is set in stone and everyone who joins our team is expected to continually drive us to do better. If this sounds like you, please get in touch: contact@alphalend.com
=== Who are we? ===
We are a small, passionate and energetic team of exceptional people funded by some of Europe’s most respected angel investors. Our vision is to move banking into the 21st century. We have the plan, the backing and the skills to make it happen but we need additional talented devs to push us further and faster.
=== Who are you? ===
You are a leader: you imagine, share, collaborate and create. You have the skills and experience to improve and evolve our development strategy, but most of all you always want to keep learning. You relish the idea of joining a fast-growing company that is using cutting edge technology to redefine the world of retail banking. An understanding of IoC, its benefits and drawbacks, quality testing and experience working in early stage teams are the key skills required given our current setup. Our technology stack will evolve, however, so you should love to experiment, always striving to find the best means to achieve the goal at hand, and always be keen to explore new technologies that would improve our product.
=== What we offer: ===
Market-leading compensation
25 days holiday + public holidays
Whatever equipment you need to get the job done - you choose
Flexible working hours whenever possible. Occasional working from home
7th floor office with the best view of any office you’ve worked in, guaranteed
Opportunity to be our first non founding developer, take a key role in recruiting the team and evolving our development strategy
=== Technology: ===
Platform built on Symfony 2.4
Doctrine2 using MySQL on Amazon RDS. Doctrine migrations for DB updates.
PHP5.5 and Apache running on Amazon EC2
Testing with PHPUnit. Coverage currently around 30%, ideally you can help improve this. BDD lover? Please teach me!
Jenkins used for automated build and deployment
Git for version control
Lots of 3rd party APIs used to gather data (REST and SOAP)
Machine learning (fuzzy logic and neural networks) for the most intelligent risk assessment and pricing possible.
Extensive analytics driven marketing.
No legacy code, all written in the last 6 months
=== How we work: ===
Our development methodology is currently very agile and approaches continuous deployment. We regularly do several live deployments per day. A feature implementation would go something like: Feature branch -> implement -> code review -> merge to development -> test on dev -> merge to master -> deploy to live.
=== Interested? ===
email us at contact@alphalend.com
A better discussion would be, how did the language and tools get chosen? Is it a drive for some uniformity only? Different tools are good for different purposes of course, and I'm guessing in your solution there are different problem domains, not all served by a single choice of tool.
A good question to ask during the interview I guess.
Good luck with your new direction!
