[linjer]

I was interviewing with you guys and we got about 3 rounds in, then contact with your org completely disappeared. I figured it had to do with a the big launch you just had, but still nothing after following up. Is that normal?

[mrfusion]

Are you guys doing anything to improve the reports of poor work/life balance? I really feel like you'd attract a lot more engineers that way, and get higher quality work out of them?

[zerr]

I guess the candidates are still limited to one particular country on one particular planet, right?

[fapjacks]

> BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science

That is shutting out a very real group of extremely talented people. You can't teach initiative and passion.

[extropy]

Call me when the ITAR is lifed. Other than that, trying to get my green card.

[DoubleMalt]

Do you need Mathematicians?

Very cool and interesting that the 76ers actually have an account on HN!

[jeffsolo]

Are internships paid?

[blueside]

Scott O'Neil seems like a great guy to head this team and effort. I wish I had more (any) stats & analysis experience under my belt, would apply for this in a second.

[atmosx]

If I were in the states I would pay you to let me to this kind of work :-)

[vruizext]

Are you considering remote candidates (I'm in Europe)?

[necrodawg]

I almost wanna apply just for the job title.

Planet Labs (http://planet.com/) in San Francisco, CA has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".

I've personally been with the company for almost a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).

Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

Some gigs are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.

FreeAgent, Edinburgh or REMOTE (UK)

http://www.freeagent.com

We're looking for software engineers of all levels and technical managers to come and work on our flagship product FreeAgent. We're a growing team of 80, based in Edinburgh but with remote staff around the UK (5 engineers are fully remote).

We have a lot of happy customers (40,000+, NPS=76!), a lot of traffic (13 million+ page views/mo), and some lovely staff to work alongside, learn from and have fun with. We invest a lot of time in our platform (code health, scalability, security) as well as working on new features, which is nice.

Our engineers tend to be full stack, but we’re seeing people move towards more specialist work these days, such as front-end programming (we're doing a lot of React.js, primarily on our iOS app), our real-time accounting engine, data science. People play to their strengths really. Our stack is intentionally straightforward. It's sensible and sustainable. Javascript aside, we mainly write Ruby alongside MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Puppet.

We are looking for UK-based full-time staff right now, but we'd also be interested to chat to UK-based freelancers interested in a longer-term contract (e.g. 6 months+).

Job listings and applications via http://freeagent.workable.com

May I ask, if the company is in Eddinburgh, why are you looking for freelancers only in UK and not also in other european countries? I'm in Germany, only 1h difference.

Distilled (www.distilled.net) is hiring in London, New York City (NYC) and Seattle WA - all permanent, full-time roles. I'm the CEO - hit me up by email with any questions (email in profile).

We have a whole host of open positions: https://www.distilled.net/jobs/

In particular, we would very much like to talk to digital marketing / SEO consultants in any of our cities.

We recently had an all-hands email thread where the whole team discussed what brought them to Distilled, and why they are still here. It got many great replies (including a number talking about how people's friends had typically had 2-3 jobs in the time they'd been with us), but this one stood out:

"A combination of an informal environment, freedom, and high expectations - I wanted a place where I could be myself and grow doing/learning things that I was passionate about, while having lots of smart people around me to collaborate with in doing so. I came from a huge, strictly regimented and siloed company, and was fed up with being told "that's a great idea, but it's not your job", and Distilled seemed to be the polar opposite."

[TomAnthony]

Distilled | London (On-Site) | Full time | Junior Python Developer

I'm Tom - I'm Head of R&D at Distilled, and I'm looking to hire a new developer to join my team. The R&D team is quite new and is still small (just 3 of us) and operates somewhat like a small startup within the larger company.

Distilled are a creative online marketing agency with an HQ in London and offices in New York and Seattle. We work with companies both big and small.

Our main technology is Python, with Django for serving front ends. We make use of a number of other technologies such as Celery, Ansible, PhantomJS, R, and ReactJS.

We don’t mind too much about your prior experience (basic Python is enough), but we care a lot about your mindset. You should be very smart, have an inquisitive nature, and above all else, you need to be passionate about becoming a great programmer.

We aren't planning to throw you in the deep end, but instead care much more about finding someone who is a cultural fit than exactly hitting all the exact criteria. We are ready and willing to help you learn and grow into this role.

We are offering a starting salary of £25,000 - £30,000 depending on your experience.

Washington DC - Nava - Reimagining technology in government - Onsite preferred

I'm part of a small team of engineers from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix Healthcare.gov. In the process, we learned a ton about the world of government software. Many people know about the disastrous Healthcare.gov launch, but there's a long list of huge technical problems that impact everyone in the US. A few examples: people are dying because the Veteran's Administration is six months behind in processing claims, the IRS system goes down for regular maintenance every night, and the Social Security Administration is still paying benefits to millions of deceased Americans because their data is so poorly managed.

Over the past year, our team has seen an opportunity to create software that radically improves how our government serves its people, and we've started our company, Nava, to chase that vision.

You probably remember the initial launch of Healthcare.gov, but you might not have seen our relaunch in the news. That’s a good thing. Here are a few facts we can share: our new insurance application is processing 70% of all apps coming through the marketplace, converts 35% more people than the old app, gets them through in half the time, and is mobile-friendly (20% of applications were started on mobile). App 2.0 was the first system that CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) ever hosted on Amazon AWS, and the login system we just launched saves taxpayers $70 million a year. (Here's a Wired article from last summer about us: http://www.wired.com/2014/06/healthcare-gov-revamp/)

We’re continuing to rebuild and improve Healthcare.gov while expanding in bold new directions, bringing talented engineers (we're mainly Stanford, Google, and Y Combinator alums) to DC, the place where we're needed most. If you'd like to build software that reimagines how millions of Americans interact with their government, we’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

Specifically, we’re looking for: - a product manager with a technical background - senior devops engineers - senior full-stack engineers

Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on about 90% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. Have you ever tried to figure out why your site is 6ms slower? We have.

We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

And to give you an idea of who you will be working with, the folks responsible for this articles are on our team: http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-...

If you're interested, drop us an email. Heck, you can even drop us an email if you're in Seattle or San Francisco and you just want to have coffee:

    function getEmailAddr( company ) {
        company = company.replace(/\.com$/i, "").toLowerCase();
        return String.fromCharCode(97, 117, 105, 45, 104, 110) + "@" + company + ".com";
    }

Atlanta, GA - CallRail - On-site - http://www.callrail.com

We build call tracking analytics software for small and medium sized businesses and the digital marketing agencies that serve them. The company is profitable, with a paying customer base of 18,000 companies, and recently raised a small series A round. The current product team consists of 8 people, all Atlanta-based. We're looking to add two or three more to help us build out the platform faster. Current tech stack is Ruby, Rails, AngularJS, Postgres, and Redis.

Senior Software Engineer - Looking for full-stack engineers who can help us expand the platform. Upcoming projects include refactoring key components into services, building out automated call scoring using machine classifiers, deeper integrations with other services, and improving our analytics tools.

Senior Mobile Engineer - We have aspirations of building native mobile applications, but nobody to do it. Looking for someone with experience building apps from the ground up, part of which will be scoping what features the app should include. No strong opinions on pure native vs hybrid vs Cordova vs Xamarin, but regardless there will eventually be some WebRTC components. Prefer to start with iOS, as that's where most of our customers are.
