http://www.ownlocal.com/about/jobs/senior-database-administr...
OwnLocal provides online marketing tools to small businesses through our partners. We work with some of the biggest media companies in the world to provide our tools to their customers.
TL;DR: MySQL, PostreSQL, ElasticSearch, AWS RDS, schema design, DB optimization. We treat employees like humans and pay market rates. Think of this as the DBA equivalent of a full stack web developer. Full-time, local only.
Our web apps are Ruby on Rails on MySQL with a little Postgres. We've built a big API on ElasticSearch which serves billions of requests per month. You will be responsible for managing our database servers, optimizing them to scale, help troubleshoot problems (eg we have a lot of deadlocks), and work with the rest of the engineering team on database design and migrations. You must have previous senior level experience in this role. Our hiring process is transparent and fair. You'll know what to expect every step of the way.
No recruiters.
Open positions: Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer
All positions ONSITE. Relocation assistance available.
We are a development shop that focuses on software craftsmanship. Our calling is to help companies create amazing, intuitive web & mobile applications, APIs, products, and services.
Pair programming, continuous integration & delivery, kaizen, and TDD/BDD aren't just ideas we pay lip service to, but core practices of our day-to-day work.
We use lots of Ruby, Python and JavaScript, some Elixir and Go. Lately we’re doing mostly React on the front-end and React-Native for mobile.

I'm looking for a brilliant Java engineer with AWS experience to take on a very senior technical role in my team. We're a super versatile, cross-functional group of engineers who work on our integrations with third parties.
Capital One is a pretty awesome place to work; nice balance of "grown up" company and fun startup. Good canteen, fun spaces, relaxed work environment. Salary and benefits are excellent.
As a senior/lead engineer at our Nottingham office you will work within an agile feature team on a wide array of intriguing problems; such as API authentication, on-boarding external developers and auto-scaling infrastructure. Our teams have a high degree of empowerment to own their products from design to production. We are just beginning a journey into the cloud and want you to help take us there.
This isn't a line management role; we call you an "individual contributor" who is at the top of their game and has a passion to focus on engineering over management. At Capital One we cherish engineers like you and have excellent career development opportunities that don't require you to take on a team.
Interview Process; we've worked on this for a while and it's slick. Simple online coding challenge, phone-screen, 1-day interview & we commit to being able to make a decision without getting you back for second-rounds

Our tech team is a small group of experienced, resourceful programmers who are equal parts smarts and humility. We add process when adding process makes sense, and we take honest looks at our productivity and course-correct as a team.

At Wellframe, we are building an intelligent care-management platform that allows health plans and care-delivery organizations to better manage large populations of complex patients. Because the most clinically complicated cases in a patient population tend to drive a majority of the costs, even seemingly small improvements in these patients’ well-being have dramatic benefits for the care provider. Wellframe focuses on improving patient health by providing personalized and adaptive care programs for people trying to recover from or manage serious health problems. We use the health data we collect in order to intelligently allot care resources to the specific needs of patients, paying special attention to the most-critical patients. Through clinical studies and working with large healthcare payers, we have seen that our platform improves patient outcomes, increases the capacity of care management teams and reduces costs of the care provider.
We have a relatively small engineering team at about 10 engineers. What makes us unique is that we have a full time clinical team of doctors that work with us to break down clinical science so that we can build it back up into personalized and adaptive care programs. We're currently looking for several mid/senior engineering positions (android, iOS, frontend, infra/platform, sre) across our engineering team. More descriptions can be found on our jobs page (below). If you're in the area I'd love to just grab coffee regardless of whether or not you're actively looking to move -- I love talking to other passionate, driven people about what they do.
For those interested in some specifics: We have Android, iOS, and web (backbone, react) products. We're currently running most of our API on Rails but heavily migrating toward Scala for most of our backend/data services. Other keywords in case someone is searching: Spark, Spark Streaming, Akka, Python, Mesos.

We're a small team (8 people) making a big change in transportation. Technological additions to vehicles are kicking off a new era of better transportation which is affordable, greener, and safer.

Smartcar is building an API platform to solve the "connected" part of it.
We just brought 3 more engineers on the team last month but looking to get 2 more with 2+ years of experience immediately. Our stack is Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Docker, AWS. In addition we are looking to fill a Business Development role.
If you are interested in helping us modernize transportation and enjoy working in a collaborative environment, we'd like to meet you.

Outcomes.com is a digital health startup based out of Berkeley's SkyDeck accelerator. We help healthcare providers close the feedback loop by routinely following up with their patients after major surgeries or treatments using patient-reported outcome surveys and other forms of digital check-ins. We process and visualize the data to help care teams deliver more personalized, proactive and value-driven care. We're in a huge and growing market as reimbursement shifts from doctors getting paid for doing more, to getting paid based on their actual patient outcomes. We have a launched HIPAA-compliant product with our first paying customers. We're looking for a technical lead (and potential co-founder) to help us take things to the next level, help define our future product and make it happen. In particular we're searching for someone who can work across our JavaScript stack (AWS/Aptible/MongoDB/Node/Angular/React/D3), understands security best practices, has experience in building self-service products, can lay the foundations to grow our team and is motivated to solve some of the toughest challenges in healthcare. As a bootstrapped company we have a lot of flexibility and aim to raise our first round of funding early next year. As such this is primarily an equity-based proposition but an opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a company that is already up and running. Interested? Please email me at francis AT outcomes.com (founder and medical doctor) - I look forward to hearing from you!
Live Patching developer
"Live Patching" is the Linux kernel infrastructure by which one can apply changes to a running kernel; this allows, for instance, to fix a security vulnerability with no downtime. For a more detailed introduction to live patching see the links [0][1][2] below. As a live patching developer you will extend and maintain our live patching tooling, both for kernel and userspace live patching. The main purpose of this role is working on improving the automation that helps with generation and verification of the actual live patches. In addition to that, you will implement tooling for userspace live patching and participate in developing the actual live patches as well.
This is a remote working position; if you want to work at a SUSE office instead, that is fine as well.
What we offer
You will take part in the development of the core parts of our enterprise and community distributions and you will be encouraged to submit your work upstream. We will sponsor travel to relevant conferences where you can present your work. Working time is flexible and we offer a bunch of the usual benefits (these differ in different countries, though).
How to apply
Preferably, submit all relevant information in a single PDF file, so that no important detail is lost in transit. Give us some time to process your application. Expect the interview to be done over phone. Form submission for this position at https://jobs.suse.com/job/nuremberg/live-patching-developer-... (apologies for the scrambled formatting of the webpage -- that will be fixed soon).
This is not the only job opening currently available at SUSE, see https://jobs.suse.com/

Redox is a fast-growing company in the fertilizer industry with some amazing products that are helping revolutionize the industry. We are looking for some additional developers to help build both amazing sales force tools but also tools for the our customer base. The work environment is great and a brand new, state of the art office building being finished in a about a month.
We use a pretty typical Ruby on Rails stack on Heroku with some external connections to some APIs. We're beginning to use React for some front-end work.
We know it is hard to find developers in South-central Idaho, so if you don't have the exact tool set listed above please contact us and we would be willing to work with senior developers to learn new languages required for this position. We DO NOT want to teach programming and Ruby on rails though, if that makes sense.
Current Technologies:
Additional Desired Technologies: Benefits: Contact me at it@redoxchem.comIt's fine to post the desired salary range for a candidate no matter what that range is, you'll filter out the people who are or are not willing to work for that range, which is fine.
But 80-120 in Idaho is not equiv to 150-200 in CA. Most outfits that I've worked for and spoken with pay based on "fair and equitable" comp and do not attempt to complicate the situation with a "cost of living bonus".
By phrasing it the way you have, it sounds like you're trying to get away with cheaper comp "because of lower cost of living" without actually considering that you're competing against many other companies willing to hire remotely that pay significantly more regardless of locale.
By the way, no other REMOTE company in this thread has a salary range.
Your generalization is not true. There are many reasons why a company does not want to post salary ranges and I'm quite sure that direct and non-hostile feedback about how copy for a job posting on Hacker News might be interpreted, is a small maybe even insignificant, reason.
I think stating the salary range and then providing examples of the CoL in the area without trying to justify the salary range in comparison to it is the best way to advertise the position.
Saying what you just said: We are looking for great candidates wanting to live in beautiful southern Idaho is compelling too (for people wanting to get away from the huge and congested cities).
Anyway, random internet stranger conversations, take it all with a grain of salt :)
And yes, we also get a lot of people (myself included) who are escaping from California for various reasons. Considering the number of people who leave California, it's almost surprising that California's population is still growing, though I believe it is.
Credit Karma's mission is to make financial progress possible for everyone. We have over 60 million US members and are a true mission-oriented business, a rare case where our incentives are aligned with our users - we succeed by helping our members attain financial progress.
We've been growing rapidly over the past few years (hypergrowth) and are hiring across a wide range of positions. On the backend side, we are moving to Scala-based microservices using finagle and Thrift, and as well as GraphQL on node.js. Our native iOS and Android apps are #1 in finance (with a 5 star rating on the App Store) and we're rebuilding our website in React + Redux. Our data teams use Kafka, Spark and BigQuery among other technologies.
If you're motivated by growth and impact Credit Karma is probably the best place to work in tech today. We have solved product / market fit and distribution, but compared to our peer unicorns there is still so much work to do. If you look at the gap between our product today and what we are well-positioned to become - the main touchpoint for consumer finance - there is tons of opportunity for people joining now to take on responsibility and ownership and have a meaningful impact.
