[ 3.7 ms ] story [ 537 ms ] threadA collaborative Augmented Reality (AR) company that is enabling the next-generation of AR and robotics. Funded by Google Ventures, Accel, Horizon Ventures, SV Angel and others, we spent two years developing city-scale AR Cloud technology. Our mission is to empower developers to revolutionise how people interact with technology, their environment, and each other.
Our team comprises experienced engineers, accomplished entrepreneurs, and PhDs from top universities. We offer a friendly and dynamic atmosphere where everyone learns, grows and contributes to our core product.
We are seeking ambitious women and men with industry experience to join our team:
We offer:We're currently hiring product managers, marketing roles, developers, sales reps, managers, director level positions, and more; see https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/.
We're a remote only company so everyone can participate and contribute equally. GitLab Community Edition is an open-source Ruby on Rails project with over 1000 contributors.
BuzzSumo provides social insights to marketers and publishers. We run extensive crawlers that crawl the entire web 24/7, storing terabytes of data that need to be indexed, processed and queried. Our SaaS product is used by over 3400 customers, ranging from publishers like BuzzFeed to Fortune 500 brands like Disney.
We are looking for a backend engineer with at least 3+ years of Ruby experience. We prefer candidates with experience working with either large Elasticsearch clusters, or enterprise-scale Sidekiq deployments. If you hate front-end work, or love writing crawlers, you're probably what we are looking for :) Our entire team works remotely.
What you'll be doing:
- Build new backend features for the BuzzSumo platform using Ruby as our main programming language. Some NLP/machine learning might be required in future projects.
- Occasionally perform devops-related tasks such as upgrades on existing infrastructure (ie Elasticsearch servers)
Tech Stack
- Elasticsearch
- Sidekiq
- Ruby/Ruby on Rails
- Postgres
- Redis
Note: This role is remote, but must be based out of UK, France, Germany or these states in the US: New York, Georgia, Washington, Texas, California, or Illinois.
Contact henley@buzzsumo.com with your resume if interested, and mention HN
Petuum is building a platform for easily running distributed machine learning. The company was spun out of a Carnegie Mellon research group about two years ago, and we have raised $108 million through Series A + B funding to support our rapid growth.
The Petuum development platform and gallery of AI building blocks work with any programming language and any type of data, allowing managers and analysts to quickly build AI applications without any coding, while engineers and data scientists can further enhance applications as needed.
What we look for: Competent engineering acumen. Additionally,
* Front-end: Experience with Typescript and Angular is a plus.
* Back-end: Experience with some of C/C++, Go, Python, CUDA, and Kubernetes is a plus
* Data science: We look for at least a master's in data science or related. Industry experience with TensorFlow/Caffe is a plus.
We are hiring for our Pittsburgh and Sunnyvale offices.
Krzana provides tools for journalists to find and research news stories.
We care about journalism. We run an NLU pipeline that processes most of the real-time news and social media content on the web.
We're looking for full-stack developers in both junior and mid-senior level roles.
We have a strong in-house training culture and are building products beyond the edge of existing tech. We are more interested in intelligence, motivation and problem solving ability than experience. An interest in natural languages, politics, sport or journalism will help.
Details and application: https://angel.co/krzana/jobs
Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.
I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.
Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.
Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.
The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...
I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.
P.S. We're also hiring for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: https://karat.io/careers, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.
BAMTECH Media is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Media Engineering Team. BAMTECH software engineers develop premium digital media products for many of our partners. The products we build, such as MLB.TV, NHL.TV, PlayStation Vue and ESPN+ are paving the way for the next-generation media and sport technologies. Media Engineering works on building out scalable distributed systems for media production pipeline that is core to our products. If you are interested in joining us in the pursuit of not only crafting new media products but also enjoying the products you build, we are interested in hearing from you. Technologies include Java, Spring, Scala, full AWS stack, Reactive Programming. Experience in these is preferred but not required.
If you're open to learning new things, or excited to expand your skillset in these areas, please apply by visiting https://jobs.disneycareers.com/job/new-york/sr-software-engi... or message me directly.
We're hiring to improve our publishing! You might want to apply if you enjoy JavaScript and writing for developers. You'll be really good for this role if you can come up with interesting ideas and turn them into finished content. We're remote first, and super flexible, so you hopefully like talking to other people on Slack and getting together with the rest of the company every few months. If you like giving talks and going to conferences, you can do that too (but it's not a requirement).
Publishing is one of the most important things we do. It's how devs learn about us, how we get customers, and a good thing to work on if you want your work to a direct impact. This is not a secondary job at an already successful company, this hire matters.
Example content:
* https://fly.io/articles/fly-edge-apps-advanced-http-routing/
* https://onehostname.com
Salary is is competitive, our equity grants are relatively large (up to 2% of the company), and we offer health benefits for US based employees.
To apply, send an email to jobs@fly.io. Please include a developer focused writing sample, and links to any code you've written.
a) Set up a "Site" and add caching and HTTPS with ease. Inject analytics with one button press on their web GUI. Free (credit) tier and services as low as $1/month after that.
b) Create an "Edge App", basically program your own CDN/DNS, deployed to Fly's 18 servers, in the same language you use on the front-end, the latest Javascript. Use their API to cache however you like, re-route `/pathnames`, and so on. Even resize or watermark images based on the request. Or just import something from NPM.
c) Their "Wormhole" product lets you load-blanace without nginx, just by adding some text to your Dockerfile. I've deployed a swarm to Docker across several VPS using this, no nginx config required.
You can start with no credit card, only caveat is you need a DNS with flattened CNAMEs (for root) or ANAMEs or ALIASs (unless you only wanna use subdomains).

Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. What makes it special is that it's fast, scalable, and comes with world-class support.
Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the recently-retired CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [1]
Tanium is ~700 people, profitable, and growing fast. We're hiring for all kinds of roles, including Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, and more; I'll call out a few interesting ones below.
Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).

Senior Software Engineer - $120~160k+ - The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js - we'll probably upgrade from AngularJS to something newer eventually, but it works for now). There's also small but growing amounts of Python and Rust.
On site or US Remote work (pick the closest one) - SF: https://grnh.se/ixfioowp1 | RTP: https://grnh.se/bxio4pg51

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.
Remote or on site in Canada, France, Japan, UK, or USA.
Director TAM - $120~170k+: https://grnh.se/r64ytqkl1 (Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but it is not a people-managing role.)
Associate TAM - $80~130k: https://grnh.se/slpflp3j1

Director of Security - $180-200k - (US Remote): https://grnh.se/4cn3r1fg1 (Note: unlike Director TAM, this is a people-managing role.)

https://vectorspace.ai - Advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) & Sentiment Analysis for Smart Cryptocurrency Basket Trading.
Which groups of cryptocurrencies are beating the market? Why? What do they have in common? How strong are those relationships? Are those relationships well known and obvious or are they hidden relationships? Are the relationships numerical or nonnumerical based on concepts, context and sentiment or a combination of both?
These are the questions our platform is designed to answer. It's based on a combination of context-controlled sentiment analysis and aan advanced cryptocurrency NLP and Machine Learning discovery engine that enables a user to automatically generate a token basket or “mini-index fund” made up of cryptocurrencies that are related to trends in news, global and local searches, concepts, context, keywords, hashtags, social media, URLs and other dynamic content.
