[ 19.6 ms ] story [ 368 ms ] threadGoody is hiring a full-stack Staff Software Engineer who likes to ship at a startup pace and has an eye for exceptional UI/UX.
I'm Mark, the technical co-founder and CTO at Goody. Despite being something everyone does, gifting is one of the areas of commerce yet to be disrupted. Our goal is to make people's days by making gifting easy, while building a sustainable business on that market opportunity.
We're looking for engineers who like to build at a startup pace, have a critical eye for detail and user experience, and thrive when given autonomy and ownership.
Our product is used by Google, Stripe, Anthropic, Meta, NBCUniversal, Notion, and others, and we also offer a developer API for commerce.
Check out our jobs minisite at https://jobs.ongoody.com/swe and feel free to email me at mark@ongoody.com.
We're a software engineering consultancy that builds enterprise software the right way. We negotiate the right to open source all our client code, maintain a handful of popular libraries, and our engineers contribute to Django core. We sponsor PyCon, DjangoCon, and Django Girls because we're invested in the ecosystem we build on.
We're looking for software engineers who value software design, system architecture, and collaboration. You should be comfortable with about half of these areas and eager to learn the rest: web application security, relational database design (PostgreSQL, beyond "SELECT *..."), Django internals, React, and distributed systems. What you'll actually work on: complex state machines for financial workflows, multi-tenant architectures with row-level security, custom database functions when the ORM isn't enough, and React frontends that handle real-time data without being a mess of useEffect hooks.
We're a small team where you'll own features end-to-end (database design to React components) and have opportunities to shape technical decisions. You'll get paid to write source code with a team that practices empathy and values work-life balance. If you've ever wished your job involved more elegant state machines and fewer marketing landing pages, let's talk: info@fusionbox.com.
PROFITABLE, SUSTAINABLE SMALL TEAM, MAKING SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT
Kind, smart, low-drama people, seeking the same to help make writing tools authors dream about.
We're building a sustainable company, not chasing unrealistic growth targets set by VCs.

I am looking for someone with a lot of experience with SaaS platforms at scale. We are turning Grafana into a high-scale, multitenant observability application platform that is easy to build upon.
To get there, we need to refactor a significant portion of Grafana to make it simpler and more standardized. Grafana is used by countless OSS and Cloud users across different platforms, so planning and rolling out changes safely to avoid service disruptions is crucial; I am looking for someone excited about this sort of work.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to learn? Do you have hundreds of books and articles in your to-read list, but wish you could extract the main ideas faster?
The goal of Shortform is to make the world's best ideas more accessible. We started by creating the world's best book guides, with in-depth chapter-by-chapter summaries, original insights building on the book, and distillation of ideas into actionables. They're like superpowered book summaries.
Our ultimate goal is to index every idea on Earth and make sense of it. Specifically, we want to summarize and contextualize every meaningful idea published each day, in every form of media (books, articles, podcasts, videos, news, research papers). Illustrative ideas include a news summarizer that shows the entire spectrum of opinions on a topic to help avoid polarization, and mini-courses that draw from the best sources across media to teach a topic (eg to learn negotiation, start with this book, then listen to this interview, then see these news articles for the principles at work, do these exercises).
If ideas like these interest you, please apply.

Ready to push the frontier of automated structured reasoning?
We’re building an AI system for analysts and scientists, based on a fundamentally new approach to reasoning and knowledge representation. Our approach differs from LLMs in that we compose algorithms symbolically to represent complex knowledge, and perform probabilistic computations. This enables the AI-driven application of statistical models to different problems, while providing the user with a verifiable reasoning path, and an assessment of the uncertainty in each answer. We are developing applications for analysis and research in domains such as Finance, Strategy Consulting, Engineering, Material Sciences, and more.
Current opportunities:
* Program Synthesis Engineers
* Senior Product Manager
* Senior UX Designer

I've applied once myself because I'm really excited about your product but I dropped out the second I received automated email with a browser-based async interview without even talking to a real person. From there I went through Glassdoor interview reviews and I do not regret at all. It seems like your process is async tech task in the browser, some obscure trivia and PHP(what's with that btw?) based take-home with yet few more interviews after that. Did you ever at some point consider changing your process or are you just counting on hiring that one in a million that will want to go through all of that and pass?
