[ 3.7 ms ] story [ 504 ms ] threadBuzzSumo is a content marketing platform that provides insights into what content is resonating across social media. Our customers range from marketing agencies to huge publishers like BuzzFeed. We crawl millions of web pages a day, and store + process terabyes of social data.
We're hiring for a few roles.
First, we are looking for an infrastructure engineer. This role will be a mix of operations-related projects and developing features, with more emphasis on the former. You'll help with scaling, monitoring, and improving our infrastructure (such as our Elasticsearch clusters) You'll be writing monitoring scripts, responding to production incidents, improving our security and backup processes, and provisioning new servers to help us scale. You will get the opportunity to recommend/implement ways to modernize our infrastructure (ie. using Docker).
Second, we are looking for a backend engineer with experience in Ruby on Rails and distributed systems, who can help develop new features for our platform. If you're interested in crawling/storing/searching lots of data, and less interested in the operations side of things, this role is for you.
Tech Stack: Ruby on Rails, Sidekiq, Elasticsearch, Postgres, and Redis
This is a remote role, but due to employment laws, we are only legally allowed to hire citizens based in the United States, or UK/France/Germany.
We're currently hiring engineers, product managers, professional services, strategic sales leaders, finance and people ops, management and 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.
We’re building software that is changing the construction process (think GitHub for construction). Our users love our app because it helps them build real things more efficiently. By joining our team you can influence product decisions and work on interesting technical challenges (our client apps work with GBs of blueprints and metadata). Our engineering teams are small; whatever team you work on, you'll have a chance to have a big impact.
We’re hiring across all of our engineering teams: Android, Web, iOS, Windows, Backend (Python).
You can see our job postings and apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/plangrid?lever-via=SzsN-_Jgq1
As an example, here's a detailed post about what working on the iOS team looks like: https://medium.com/plangrid-technology/working-on-the-plangr...
At HealthPrize, we are changing the way people think about their medication and their health! Our growth is being fueled by work with leading brands in life sciences such as Abbott, Walgreens, and Gilead. Join the close-knit engineering team that designs & develops our industry leading patient engagement platform and work with us to measurably improve the state of healthcare globally.
Platform Hypewords: React, Redux, TypeScript, Slate, Downshift, ...

Our books sell very well because:
- We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps.
- We guarantee the books and code are up to date.
- We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k)
- We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time.
If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the book. We have an audience, and we know what they want to read - so when your book is done, we already have people who want to buy it.
If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your book in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend.)
I’d specifically like to work with someone on Fullstack Go and Fullstack Rust - which is less about the respective languages and more like guides to building full-stack web applications with each, including third-party libraries, etc. But we’re also looking to write content about Python, Kubernetes, JavaScript, Elixir, etc. Anything up and coming.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, fill out the form linked below. Looking forward to hearing from you!
https://www.fullstack.io/write-a-book/

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16622038
What's most important is that you've used your topic in production and you have some "earned secrets" that don't normally appear in API docs that you'd love to share to others. I always say that we're writing the books we wish existed when we were learning.
We have some internal training on how to think about outlining, how to evaluate the audience, and how to refresh yourself on the things beginners want to know. We'll also work with beta readers before we launch, so you'll be able to test the material against a fresh audience.
Basically, if we decide to work together, I'll be working with you closely through every step of the process: outlining, drafting, coding, revising, editing, marketing, etc.
If this interests you, please apply.
Also fullstack.io seems pretty cool!
The job description is pretty much on point - we're a small team of 4 engineers (one of whom is me). We build the API for iPlayer, which is used by the Mobile Apps, TV Apps and the Website.
We're heavily investing into personalisation and experimentation at the moment, working closely across all three platforms and finding the best ways to promote the right content to each user individually at the right time and in the right way. Another focus this year is on Live events, and Music, Sports and News content. There is scope to have a real impact on the product and consulting with architects and product managers.
Our tech stack is mostly Node.js, with several dozen microservices. We manage a couple hundred EC2 instances, dozens of Redis caches and databases, and half a dozen Postgres databases, with code deployed directly to production every day. We have 10% time, as well as days dedicated to personal objectives, and some working from home days.

It's just how it is here, sadly - I wish we could change it, and so does my boss.
Nobody is here for the money; we get to work on pretty cool projects with quite a big user base (we're talking millions of users and billions of request per day) - No. 6 Alexa rank for the U.K, and one of 2 non-startups in the Top 20. We have a lot of authority and a relatively relaxed work environment

We are a team of really smart people working in a very well funded startup trying to disrupt insurance in Italy by using technology as our main competitive advantage. We employ a micro service architecture (10s of them are in production atm), Docker and AWS.
Most of our micro services are written in Elixir, we also have some Ruby, Haskell, Python and Rust in production besides a legacy Symfony 2 application, while on the front end side we are mainly using Elm.
We have a lot of automation in place, we run a pretty comprehensive test suite on Drone CI at every push and every developer can spin up QA environments that mirror our entire stack for a given feature branch (this is made possible by having all of our infrastructure managed through CloudFormation templates). All of this allows us to confidently deploy to production multiple times per day.
