[ 5.1 ms ] story [ 376 ms ] threadTakt is seeking data engineers to help develop our flagship product. Our platform learns and adapts to people's preferences, habits, and feedback—orchestrating highly relevant experiences that are truly unique to each person. Our vision will change the way people engage across multiple industries, be it retail, finance, or healthcare.
We share your passion for using data to solve complex problems. You understand that legacy code is the work you did yesterday. You'll work in small, self-sufficient teams with a common goal: deliver excellent software anchored in an agile culture of quality, delivery, and innovation. Contact mightybyte at the google mail service for more information.
Do you want to help realize the next industrial revolution?
Tulip is transforming manufacturing processes by bringing the latest technological advances from the lab to the shop floor. We have multiple Fortune 500 customers and are already enabling production lines building the things you interact with everyday.
Whereas most factories are still using state of the art technology from the mid 19th century, we come from the future to bring them a rich, realtime web app, modern tablets, IoT systems, in-depth analytics, and more. Our products are already (measurably!) helping our customers, so we're rapidly expanding our number of customers and size of deployments.
We’re looking for people to join our core team who are excited about working across our software stack: web development with Meteor+React+Redux, IoT/embedded software, computer vision, data engineering, technical operations / DevOps, web-based UI design, and anything else we need to make the best product possible. Apply at https://tulip.co/careers or email us at jobs@tulip.co.
Elastic is the company behind the open source projects Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash and Beats. We're a truly distributed company with many teams that span the globe (the engineering organization is spread across 30+ countries). We're actively looking for people _anywhere_ (so this is not a position limited to just US time zones).
(If you prefer working in an office, you can work out of any of our offices around the world. If you prefer nomading, you can do that too. I've travelled the world for >7 months in this position.)
We're looking for experienced JavaScript developers to work on several of our UIs, for example on Kibana and on our Cloud product.
Many know Kibana as a visualization platform on top of Elasticsearch, but it has now grown into our application platform that hosts all our open source apps in addition to our X-Pack commercial apps (and plugins that users write). Some of the things our apps cover are visualizations, time series analysis, machine learning, graph exploration, alerting, developer tools, security UI, data ingestion UIs, PDF reporting and so on. Kibana is today "the Window into the Elastic Stack".
Because of our distributed nature we're currently only looking for senior engineers with a strong self-drive. We're looking for someone with extensive knowledge of JavaScript and one or more reasonably popular frameworks. You should also have at least 5 to 7 years of web application development experience.
We're especially interested in people that also have a deep passion for a JS related topic, e.g. visualizations, security, performance, architecture or something entirely different, but this is definitely not a requirement.
Some SEO for the ctrl+f people: Angular, React, Redux, Jest, Webpack, Node.js, D3.js, RxJS

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.
We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.
We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.
-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. 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.
-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platform available: We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.
Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services).
Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring.
-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode, is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.
-- Generally
At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't 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 NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

You can also email me at jchester+hn-apr17@pivotal.io if you have questions. I won't reply to copypasta. I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here. These help me earn a referral bonuses, which I appreciate. I can give the non-referral link upon request.

As part of this, we've recently launched a new product, allowing vendors to see exactly how their listing is performing, what their direct competition is and giving them control over viewings and offers.

Small businesses have come to expect intuitive, fast, and beautiful software in their personal lives yet deal with old, slow, and clunky software in their business lives. We are changing that.
We need talented full stack developers who have empathy for users and love making thoughtful and simple solutions to complex problems; developers who want to see their software used daily and witness a visible improvement in the daily lives of employees, families, and businesses. We need developers to help us transition and build our experiences and codebase into scalable products.
Our favorite tools include Node, C#, Angular, Kendo, and React. If you have at least 2 years of professional experience building all parts of modern webapps, value autonomy over routine, and are interested in helping us develop the next generation of software for small and medium businesses, we’d love to hear from you.

Don't let this fool you, it's more often a trap than it's not.
How come?
My understanding is - communicate with the team - know the release dates - be working in critical moments...
Personally I would love to work 6 months a year or 3-4 days a week... To travel and to develop my side projects. Treating job as a way to pay bills in expensive city like London.
Unless - my personal incentives are aligned with the company - very often it's not the case.
But either way -- just by calling it "unlimited vacation", they're f-ing with you from the very start.
It's because they want the employees to not take any days off. Peer-pressure is insanely strong in those environments. You are supposed to feel bad to letting your colleagues do the work, while you voluntarily (!) take time off. Especially at start-ups there is always something for you to work on.
As an employee it's easier to agree on like 25 vacation days/year beforehand because then it's in the contract and both parties can point to it when there are problems. If a colleague has a problem with someone taking more vacations days, it comes down to their own inability to negotiate more days for themselves; not to some "backstabber" leaving their colleague behind for some fun.
As I said, there are cases where unlimited vacation days work out but I would say those are the lucky 1%.

Latchel tracks and coordinates maintenance for property management companies. We use their existing vendors if they have them and find vendors if they do not. We see this marketplace differently than other companies in this field -- most companies focus on software-only solutions or purely manual coordination, which does not scale. At Latchel we use technology to make our internal operations much more efficient, but develop to the level our customers' users are comfortable with. After only a two months of operation, we're more than 3x more efficient than the industry standard for maintenance coordination. Join our small and growing team and bring technology to the technologically challenged property management space.
Our interview process has a small code review exercise followed by behavioral and culture fit interview and lunch or dinner. You can view the code review exercise here: https://github.com/latchel/code-challenge/pull/6
Languages: Angular.js (1.x), PHP (Laravel 5), PostgreSQL
Notes: We offer equity and medical, dental, vision and relocation to Seattle.
If you'd like to learn more about the opportunity, problem space, and the team, email me: will@latchel.com
Alternatively, you can complete the code review exercise to apply.
