Pex is a search engine for music and video, that uses the content as a base for its search (think of Google Image Search just for video/music with some more features built at top of the technology). To date we've indexed more than 6.3B videos with daily addition of ~60M.

We operate a massive stack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13726224), currently using mostly C/C++, Go and Java in most of our pipeline and Javascript and Python for frontend and data analysis.

Instead of dumping money into swanky offices, we offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences and more.

We're looking for skilled senior developers (C/C++, Go, Java, Python/Ruby) that want to work on some very challenging technical problems, in a massive scale. We don't discriminate based on your prior experiences and knowledge of any particular language(s).

Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$250k

Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects and have a long term vision to build a stand-alone product in about a year. The future product will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future. Who you are: You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

Technologies:

NodeJS / JavaScript

Babel / ES6

RDMS: MySQL / Postgres

Amazon Web Services: EC2, Lambda, CloudFront, S3

GitHub

Apache Aurora / Mesos

Terraform

Docker

We’re open to new technologies too, in the right situation.

Elation Health | Senior Software Engineers | SFO or Remote | Full Time

I want to post an apology. A few months ago our recruiting process was going well enough that we had a comment in our HN post from a candidate we'd passed on who was happy enough with the experience that they recommended us in the thread [1]. Last month, however we had the exact opposite experience. Two candidates commented about investing significant effort in the process, only to be ghosted [2].

I arrived at those comments too late to reply, so I'm using this month's post to apologize. I dug into what happened here and found that we did indeed drop the ball with a few candidates and failed to follow up. Certainly it wasn't our intent and doesn't reflect our values. We've audited the entire candidate pool and have reached out to anyone that fell through the cracks to properly close the loop. I personally apologize for your poor experiences and the criticism is well deserved.

I also want to thank the people who commented. I think posting that kind of feedback warning others is an excellent way to keep other members of the community informed, and hold each-other accountable. In this case we've overhauled and streamlined our processes so that we're confident this won't happen again in the future. So thank you for helping us do better, and I'm very sorry that this improvement came at the expense of your time.

We are hiring, positions are here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/elationhealth and more about what we do at https://elationhealth.com

As always, my contact info is in my profile and I'm happy to chat with anyone directly or answer any questions transparently in the comments (I'll monitor those today).

I would have linked the a previous hacker news thread if I could because their was a stream of complaints from other developers who applied and found their hiring process broken.

I routinely interview for jobs because it good practice so I expect certain things but TopHat stood out as bottom of the barrel process.

I would ask they share if they've improved their hiring process over the years, since what I say could have changed.
