Julia Computing Inc [http://juliacomputing.com] | Cambridge, MA

Julia Computing Inc. is looking for an LLVM engineer to work on LLVM, LLDB and Clang to improve integration with the Julia programming language. Knowledge of Julia is not required, but deep knowledge of LLVM is. This position will involve significant contributions back to the open source to both the LLVM and Julia projects.

Immediate high-priority projects

    - LLVM’s JIT debugging and debug info
    - LLVM’s JIT threading support
    - Julia’s Clang-based C++ FFI – Cxx.jl
    - Julia’s (experimental) LLDB-based debugger

On-going responsibilities and longer-term projects

    - Working with Julia code gen experts to improve Julia’s generation of LLVM IR
    - Fixing LLVM bugs encountered by Julia (we use LLVM hard, so this happens a fair bit)
    - Tuning LLVM optimizations for Julia’s usage patterns (which differ somewhat from C/C++)
    - Porting Julia to new architectures by adding/enhancing LLVM backends.
    architecture of interest include ARM, Xeon Phi (Knight’s Landing), GPUs
    - Improving any relevant LLVM tooling

Both full-time employment and short-term consulting opportunities are available. This advertisement is for our Boston (Cambridge), MA, USA office and being local is ideal, but REMOTE engineers will also be considered. Applicants should possess demonstrable experience working in the LLVM ecosystem.

If this position interests you, or you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

OkHi | Full Stack Engineer | Nairobi, Kenya - Solve a problem affecting 4B people across the world

http://okhi.com

There are more people in the world without a physical address than with. 4 billion people in fact. It’s our mission to empower them with an address that works. We're doing this by building the next generation of a physical address system to increase commerce through better logistics, save lives through improved emergency services and grow access to finance through a better identity system.

We're looking a full-stack developer to join our small team of 7 in Nairobi. Experience in JS across front/backend is required, ideally with experience in Android, GIS, and in building other APIs. You will be responsible for launching OkHi to 100s of businesses and millions of consumers across emerging markets. Full job description at http://www.okhi.com/s/OkHi-Experienced-Software-Developer-Jo....

Full-time, onsite, and can arrange visa as needed.

If you are motivated about using your kickass development skills to solve a global problem and have a huge impact on the world, then we want to hear from you. Email us at [email protected]

[hyh1048576]

Looks like an awesome and ambitious project. I thought about doing the same (or something about digitalizing all the existing addresses) but never worked on it.

[betimd]

What about remote option, at least for the beginning?

[icey]

GitHub is hiring across all teams, both in SF and remote: https://github.com/about/jobs.

We especially need sales engineers, which is a great role for any developer or ops person looking to make a transition to sales. Especially important skills:

  * Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  * Customer facing experience as this is a pre-sales role
  * Familiarity with Git and GitHub
  * Ability to talk with both technical and non-technical employees 
    both internal to GitHub and at customer sites

You can see the sales engineering job post here: https://jobs.github.com/positions/2f1183c2-482d-11e4-9945-68...

One last thing that I'd like to point out for all of our roles (it's at the bottom of the job post too, but I think it's important): GitHub is made up of people with many different backgrounds and lifestyles, and we like it that way. We invite applications from people of all stripes. We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, national origin, citizenship, pregnancy status, veteran status, or any other differences that people imagine to discriminate against one another.

Please apply if you think this might be a good fit for you. You can't waste our time!

[wyclif]

I'm a dev that uses git, and I have outstanding written and verbal skills, but I've never led a team, and certainly not for 3-7 years. I've never had a group of people working under me in dev roles. Is that a deal-breaker?

[williamwrites]

I think you want me for hiring coordinator. I especially appreciate these requirements: 1. Be a friendly, calming guide to candidates on their interview day. 2. Working with our recruiters and hiring managers for each role to optimize the success of their candidates. 3. Crafting an engaging interview day for each candidate.

Soundslice - Web designer - Chicago, IL. ONSITE.

Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/) is "living sheet music." We make web-based, responsive music-notation technology that you can listen to and interact with. The goal is to be the best way to learn any piece of music.

See https://www.soundslice.com/demo for an example. It's one of the coolest HTML5 web apps in the world that's an actual business and not a project. When I originally posted it to HN, it stayed at the top of the homepage for the better part of a day and was universally praised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4790636

Soundslice is a small (two-person) business -- you'd be the third. It's proudly bootstrapped and makes money.

We're looking for a web designer. Somebody who's good at the whole design process -- understanding problems, creating mockups, implementing in HTML/CSS.

WHY WORK HERE:

* You'd work on an amazing product that helps people learn music.

* Design is front-and-center of our product. Much of its value is pure design/UX.

* Excellent work/life balance.

* You'd work with me (one of the people who created Django, plus some other stuff; see holovaty.com). I'm an experienced developer and can teach you a lot, if you're open to it.

Email me (Adrian Holovaty) at [email protected].

Planet Labs -- http://planet.com/ -- San Francisco, CA

(Remote work depends on the role -- some are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.)

Planet Labs 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 over 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, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.
