[ 3.0 ms ] story [ 319 ms ] threadMercedes-Benz, Breitling, United Airlines and Marie Curie Cancer Care are a few businesses who use our mobile apps to strip the paper out of mobile, customer data capture.
We're a smidgen over 2 years old, 8 people small, growing fast, and our mobile and web-based tools are part of the next wave of better, consumer-influenced enterprise SaaS software. We're replacing slow paper process with well-considered, scalable software and services - saving thousands of hours of work for our customers and their teams in over 90 countries. For tasks traditionally done on a clipboard, we are delivering an enjoyable, faster and smoother experience.
Our next engineer will benefit from a real opportunity to shape, influence and improve our products. As part of a small team of engineers, you will be working with new technologies to build our apps (we use ReactJS, Docker, Keen.io today, and ReactJS Native looks very promising). We love cross-discipline participation. A great fit for us will be a curious, thoughtful and smart person.

We're TomTom's navigation software team in London and our goal is to build great new on-the-road experiences for drivers and bikers everywhere.
The apps we make are built into Renault and Smart in-car systems, are available for smartphones, and form an integral part of TomTom's expanding range of consumer devices, where hardware and software are conceived together. Just like this one, coming soon: http://www.tomtom.com/new-rider-400 - http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/15/turn-to-page-17-for-the-t...
The developers who join our team are valued for their ideas as well as their skills, and we try to encourage both through regular hack days, plus training or conference attendance in areas that interest them.
-- Role: Mobile & Embedded Apps Developer
Our apps feature TomTom's signature design language and map-centric UI, optimised for our domain. Working with TomTom's UX team, app development with us is a challenging mix of custom UI development and deep routing, guidance, traffic and search presentation smarts. If you join us you'll be developing with Java, C++, JavaScript, Android, iOS and Qt.
-- Role: DevOps for Mobile & Embedded
Building scaleable CI infrastructure for mobile & embedded app testing is hard, particularly when you add custom pre-release hardware and GB's of map data into the mix. If you join us you'll be working with Android and iOS SDK command line tools and device emulators, Jenkins, Git, Artifactory, Gradle, Ruby, Docker and a mix of local device farms and cloud computing services.

We're currently looking for experienced software engineers for a full-time position in Warsaw.
Our product is a coding test engine. We're helping companies recruit by providing simple, impartial assessment of programming skills at an initial stage of the process. Currently this means basic algorithmics (e.g. "write a function that does this and this, and figure out how to do it in linear time"), but we're also experimenting with other types of programming tasks.
We're still a small company (less than 30 people) with lots of ideas on what to build next. I've been here for two years now as a programmer, and I really enjoyed seeing how far we have come and how much we have been able to learn.
Our development team has seven software engineers and two sysadmins. We have a continuous integration cycle, code reviews and some pair programming. The technology stack includes Python, Django, Postgres, Celery and Chef.

At Mapzen we take a different approach to the core components of mapping: open source, open data, open access. We make modular tools for building better maps because we believe that healthy mapping ecosystems are ones that are diverse, sustainable, and accessible to all.
We're building a geocoder on top of entirely open data. We're providing it for use as a hosted service and designed it for modular use and improvement by developers. Geocoding and search are among the most complex problems in open source mapping today, and we believe that the best way to solve those problems is to build open services, software, and community around better search and better data.
As product manager, you will help and guide a team of developers toward our feature, quality, and community goals. You'll have an understanding of current open datasets (and be on the lookout for new ones) and an interest in figuring out how they can fit together for geocoding. Your perspective is global, with an appreciation for diverse addressing systems and ideas about how to build software that works for everyone. You know how to assess quality search results, and how to investigate and improve results that fall short of user expectations.

We're hiring mid-level & senior developers and people with experience scaling up -- this isn't a checklist, but we're interested in sharding, ZeroMQ (kicking the tires now), systems monitoring (currently mostly Munin/Perl and shell scripts), performance and load testing, continuous integration (we use Jenkins and Selenium tests), automating server builds and server hardening (we deploy to RHEL). Aside from the challenges around scaling, we also just need people working on core features -- more on our stack below.
Bonus points for significant experience in healthcare (as an intelligent patient or family member counts!); ditto for experience building things from scratch (i.e., not just implementing specs you're given, using the tools the tech lead gave you).
More about PKB
I've worked in a lot of different sectors since I first started writing code in the late 90s, including education, b2b supply chains, POS systems, e-commerce, banking, and anti-spam.
PKB has been head-and-shoulders above the rest in everything I care about.
We're building something that actively, directly, improves the lives of people in general -- not selling more stuff, helping others sell more stuff, or making comfortable people a bit more comfortable. If you're interested in PKB's growth, funding, profitability, contracts, etc., ask -- our CEO is also active on HN. I'm the CTO.
We're solving interesting problems, tech-wise; each person's clinical data is encrypted separately, and only the person plus their carers & medical teams granted access can decrypt the private keys (so: I can't decrypt your data even for tech support purposes). On the front end, we need to make sometimes confusing medical data accessible and useful to the patient and their carers, without removing the crucial details that the professionals need to see; across a wide range of browsers and devices (though I'll admit, supporting old IE is the kind of problem that's hard without being interesting). We also build apps on our REST API; these are currently based on Steroids/PhoneGap (JavaScript at heart).
Our core tech stack is solid Java enterprise -- very stable but not bleeding edge; but we'll gently dissuade you from writing the AbstractManagerFactory you consider in a moment of weakness. Secondly, we're in the process of tearing apart and rebuilding (I suspect we'll permanently be in this process, honestly) -- one major benefit of our architecture becoming increasingly modular will be that we'll be able to replace major components with whatever fits the bill. If you're allergic to Java, check back with us next year.
Finally, we're pragmatic about work/life balance. I work from France, or sometimes from Malaysia, where my in-laws live. Almost half of the developers have small children at home -- personally, I'm with my kids in the morning, sometimes at lunchtime, then late-afternoon & evening (while my wife works), and I fill in a bit of extra working time around the edges as needed. We're collaboratively figuring out what works (e.g., how many working hours should you overlap to collaborate effectively?), and planning our lives and our work around what's effective, not around some photocopied list of rules stapled to a cubicle wall. One of our developers only codes part time (and occasionally takes long leaves of absence), because he's also a theatre director.
Culture -- we're fairly diverse; we live in various parts of the UK, central France, Bangalore, and Vienna; we range in age (though I don't actually know everyone's ages, so I can't say exactly!). We're not all native English speakers -- but communication skills trump even ...
Looking for software engineers, sales engineers/customer success, and sales development representatives. INTERNs, and VISAs welcome, though we can't relocate international candidates right now.

We're a startup looking to replace health insurance with a system where incentives are aligned for the benefit of both employees as well as employers.
In the long term, we think we can bend the cost of health care across the country. Or in another way of saying it, we can lower both the first and second derivative of the rising health care cost curve, nationwide. We've got some compelling evidence for it as well if you'd like to chat.
Our tech stack is an SOA/microservices mix of Go and Java with an Angular front end. We're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. We believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We also believe that shipping is important and there are appropriate times to leverage technical debt.
Some of our company-wide values are transparency and a superior customer experience, from the way we design our products and over-indexing on customer support.
Our eng team is around 9 and we're well funded, but still just a year old, so early enough for non-trivial equity. We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve. We expect all of our engineers to teach as well as learn.
