Distil announced $21M of Series B funding yesterday to stop bad bots from scraping content from our customers websites, along with reducing fraud, spam and security issues from automated traffic. Measurements on our global traffic show about 60% of the traffic is from non-humans and that number is growing. We have a global network and actively block traffic based on our bot / human signatures. Our customers love us (and they pay us too!). Our investers love us. I (data scientist, employee 14) am pretty jazzed about working there too.
What we’re looking for:
- Senior Lua Developer - Dive into the guts of NGINX to build the next gen of our bot blocking system.
- Senior Solutions Architect / Solutions Engineer - The nitty-gritty work of getting customers hooked into our network and happy with the performance.
- QA Automation Engineer - Automate all the things! These folks are surprisingly tough to find.
- Front End Engineer - Change the face of what our customers see.
- Senior C/C++ Platform Engineer - Make the bot blocking guts fast.
- Senior Javascript Engineer - We need deep, framework-less, JavaScript experience to build fast bot-fingerprinting systems on the frontend.
- Ruby/Rails Developer - Our customer facing systems are Ruby/Rails and we need more help.
- DevOps Engineer - We run a vast global network and East/West coast engineering teams that need support.
- Web Developer - Someone to work with design and marketing to maintain our web presence.
- We're also hiring sales and marketing.
I'm a data scientist at the company and I'm having a great time working there. If you want more information or want me to push your resume into our hiring stack, contact me: william dot cox at distil networks dot com.

Specifically, we build technology that allows solar energy solutions to be financed for off-grid consumers, including everything from rooftop installations down to portable LED devices. To do so, Angaza develops a mix of custom hardware and software, built on the Python ecosystem, and we operate in some of the most demanding and dynamic markets in the world, including Africa and India.

We're tackling the employer-sponsored healthcare industry (our favorite analogy is how Tesla takes on several verticals at once, such car makers, dealers as well as the oil industry). We can lower both the first and second derivative of the rising health care cost curve, nationwide. There's some compelling evidence we can do so, if you'd like to chat.
The company just under a year and half old. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, 60+ team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.
If you're interested in some challenging work, you should let me know. We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more. We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc.
Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, riak, automated testing, and continuos integration.
As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!

The whole team is involved in prioritising and evaluating our work and we regularly program in pairs to share knowledge, promote collaboration, and improve our code quality.
We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home let you work in a way that fits you and your family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days' paid holiday as a /lower/ bound for everyone in the organisation, not a limit. We actively contribute to personal and professional development and have a minimum budget allowance to be spent on courses, conferences, and books. We also run fortnightly "innovation days", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open-source projects, learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.

Development of digital products is central to the future of the Guardian. We build the products that showcase our diverse and important journalism. We create the tools that the journalists and editors use to write their stories securely, anywhere from London to Syria. We write the APIs and services that allow those stories to be distributed across the globe. We write the products and interfaces that show off and monetise that content to its maximum potential.
We mostly program in Scala and Javascript, but we use the best tool that fits the problem. We have hacks in the wild in all manner of languages. Our infrastructure lives on AWS and our own OpenStack private cloud. We encourage product teams to implement, manage and support their own stack. We do our coding in public. Sadly, the same can be said of our karaoke.
You’re a passionate, intelligent human being who loves technology. You might love the news, or you might want to reinvent it. You like inspiring the people you work with and being inspired by them in return. You have experience of getting stuff done.
