Elastic (http://elastic.co) • ONSITE & REMOTE (Anywhere) • Front-end Developer • Full-time

Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch and Kibana, is hiring.

We're looking for front-end developers to work on Found, our Elasticsearch-as-a-service product offering. Today, Found runs primarily in public cloud environments like AWS, allowing customers to provision and scale Elastic clusters in a turnkey fashion. We also plan to bring this same simplicity of deployment and automation to customers who want to run and manage multiple Elastic clusters on-premise (in their own data centers). You will be contributing significantly to both initiatives.

To get there we need more developers with strong JavaScript skills, but we definitely prefer developers who also have other strong front-end development skills. Maybe security, design, UX, CSS, functional programming, testing, or something else?

This is an early role on a fast-growing team, so you'll have a lot of impact from day 1. We're a very remote team with developers in Australia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Panama and several locations in the US.

We need someone to help innovate, lead and contribute to the front-end and user experience of our Elasticsearch-as-a-Service offering. You will also be integral in shaping the products we build, not just implementing specs.

Pivotal | ONSITE SF, NYC, Palo Alto and many, many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Data Scientists | Visa and relocation assistance

First things first. We look for aptitude over APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, know some stuff and have empathy, we want to work with you.

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it. We're broken into three basic divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Big Data. Rotations between divisions, temporarily or permanently, are possible.

We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Santa Monica, Palo Alto, Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Toronto, London, Dublin, Tokyo and Sydney. We will soon be opening an office in Berlin as well, with more to come. Relocations, temporarily or permanently, are possible.

Each of the three divisions has a constantly evolving and deliberately cross-pollinated culture. We are constantly thinking about how we work and how we can work more sensibly, effectively and enjoyably. Right now we are particularly trying to grow in Labs and Cloud Foundry.

-- Pivotal Labs, from which the company draws its name and cultural seed, helps clients to become better at development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels. We have a growing data science practice, and some engagements include all four roles.

-- Cloud Foundry solves application deployment and management. We're the main contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. We're constantly improving the leading opensource PaaS -- our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever.

It's also the only PaaS I'd personally bet a company on. Except for integrated upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform bar none.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, good benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong is not mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

We provide visa and relocation assistance. In the NYC office we have about 15 people from overseas, including Australians like me.

You can apply through our website: http://pivotal.io/careers. You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions you might have and potentially help me score one of our generous referral bonuses.

For what it's worth, I'm just an engineer. My replies might not be immediate, sorry.

Gambit Research Ltd (http://gambitresearch.com) | London, UK | On-site | Full time | Python/Erlang/DevOps | Experienced and Graduate Positions

At Gambit we research and manage automated sports betting algorithms on behalf of our clients. Their algorithms run on our proprietary execution platform which interfaces with a large variety of bookmakers and exchanges, enabling access to the best prices and massive liquidity.

Our distributed, concurrent system has a core written in Erlang, which interacts with a wide variety of Python processes across the rest of the business. There are also smaller projects written in C++, Go, Julia, and JavaScript.

We have a very flat hierarchy and an emphasis on developer freedom. We encourage people to work on areas of the code base that interest them, because we believe developers are happiest and most productive when intellectually stimulated.

We are looking for developers who have solid fundamentals in programming and maths and an ability to pick up new technologies. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.

If this appeals to you, please email info@gambitresearch.com

- We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team

- We're funded by top-tier VCs

- We have paying customers across multiple verticals

- We eat + drink together a lot... wino wednesday, whiskey thursday, foodie friday
