MUBI :: San Francisco, London :: Front-end and Back-end Software Engineers

MUBI is hiring software engineers to grow our San Francisco and London teams. We are a VoD company with a focus on bringing the best films to our customers around the globe. What sets us apart is true editorial credibility in the film world, and a strategy building social traction with a cinephile audience before putting Studio content deals in place. That time has now come. We are at an inflection point where we will massively scale the subscriber base.

The product is a streaming service and social network currently available on the web, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation, Samsung Smart TVs, and several more on the way. It is build primarily of Ruby, Rails, Backbone + Marionette, and the usual client-side VoD frameworks. We are heavily invested in Chef for configuration management, both at Engine Yard where we host our main applications, and also for newer infrastructure such as our custom-built CDN that we are tuning to deliver a better QoS than off-the-shelf vendors can provide.

Although we were founded in Palo Alto, currently the CEO and bulk of our team is based in London due to the UK being our primary growth market. We are now looking to move the product and engineering center of gravity to San Francisco in a run up to make the US a primary market in 2016 and beyond. You would be joining as #10 software engineer overall, and will play a significant role in defining the architecture of our application as we scale. Strong ruby, rails, javascript and backbone skills are ideal, though this can be substituted by strong web and backend development skills in similar languages and architectures. VoD and client-side video app development are a bonus but not required. You will have significant opportunity to define your own position and work on any area of our technology where you can add value.

If you are interested please contact me by email, which can be found on my MUBI profile at https://mubi.com/users/2
I don't mean it's solved in that it never happens. I mean it's solved in that a solution is available to those willing to bother.

> For one, why are they bringing up a disability if it won't affect their job? It's not related to the application nor is it appropriate.

US disability discrimination laws only provide protection if you disclose. (As I understand it, maybe I'm wrong?) Since it's not legal for the company to discriminate against you there shouldn't be any problem with disclosing. If anything, an employer should want someone to disclose because that person is honest. A candidate who doesn't state they have a disability either doesn't have one, or does have one but is hiding it.

Someone using a wheelchair might want to disclose early so the interviewer can say hold interviews in a place that isn't up a flight of stairs.

> if I were looking at a resume for a very qualified person the first thing I would do is google them to see if they made up their credentials. After finding nothing because this person was made up for the study I would not pursue them.

So you'd not pursue the non-disabled candidates, as well as not pursuing the disabled candidates. That would mean similar levels of rejection. How would you explain the disparity in amounts of rejection between fake candidates with no declared disability and fake candidates with a declared disability? All the candidates are equally fake.
Sorry—that one's on our list to fix.
For now I'm categorising this (mentally, I mean) under "awesome, but idky useful".

I'd love to be told I'm wrong though. It's the best thing when you discover how to usefully use awesome but hitherto useless tools :p

This will differ per child. Some parents take their kids hunting/to a range when they're 9. Others wait til they're 13. Others wait til 16. Some never take their child hunting/to the range. My father took me and my brother to a firing range when we were 6 years old.

Not all guns are rifles. A large assortment of handguns are reasonably dangerous to kids ages 3-7 and even the most staunch advocates for firearms recognize that. They're children - they don't know better unless taught.

>what's he supposed to load it with

Firearms used for self defense rather than sport should remain loaded. But that's another argument for another time. I'm not an advocate of keeping one in the chamber, though I know people who are.

Adblock/uBlock works great. If you want to experience the web as it is, then yeah I agree, it sucks. No one has really figured out how to monetize content without ads yet because people won't pay for it, so thats where we are.

Thats an opinion you are entitled to have but which I do not share.

Politics is the art the possible and sometimes it takes several years for something to gain momentum, something that often starts in futile attempts and yes often ends with not succeeding. But once in a blue moon it does and that is the important part.

You keep arguing as if there is a right way to think about these things. If that is your claim then I do not share that belief.

Doing is the only way of discovering.

That there are plenty of people that do obvious stupid things which end bad in hindsight does not cancel out that there are plenty of people who do obvious stupid things and in hindsight succeed.

We have plenty of critical thinkers in this world, it's the constructive thinkers we lack.
I really, really hope he doesn't. That will destroy any goodwill I ever held towards him.

My only consolation is that his campaign is such an abject failure that it probably can't even function as a spoiler.

Of the three major candidates in 2000, there's no question Nader was the least likely to support military intervention anywhere. His policy intentions, many of which I support unreservedly, aren't the issue.

The issue is that he had no chance of winning the 2000 election, and by staying in, he probably cost Gore the Presidency. There's a "dispute" over whether Nader was a spoiler, but that dispute relies on the notion that a very significant fraction of Nader's voters would have broken for George W. Bush, and --- remember the margin in Florida was razor thin --- ignores the indirect impact of Nader's campaign on Gore's support and turnout.

What gives the Nader spoiler charge so much electricity is the fact that his campaign was obviously and hopelessly doomed far in advance of election day, and yet he stuck with it in order to make a point. Well, he sure made his point alright.
Try it not in the passive voice.

"Badly-done advertising is making the web unusable." That's better, but it still makes it sound like inanimate things are causing it.

"Advertisers are making the web unusable by trying ever-more-intrusive things to try to get us to pay attention."

But even that is only half the story, because people want to get paid for the stuff that they put on the web. You know, the parts that you're actually going there to try to find. So either someone needs to figure out how to get more money out of ads, without the ads ruining the experience (and with users desperately trying to ignore the ads, because it's not what they came for), or the model needs to change. This will probably less top-quality free content on the web.
> No, because I like to experience the web as it is, which is what most users experience.

Many users experience similar problems, so they are switching to ad blockers. Several sites reported 50%+ ad blocker usage, so if you're trying to view the web like other users, using ad blockers is probably fine now.
Not sure what exactly that buys in terms of security.

Both Slack and Amazon can steal all the data without being detected, regardless of whether the servers are encrypting it or not, since if the server can decrypt it, so can Amazon (just scan VM memory for the key from the hypervisor).

Bummer. The latest web trend is immutability and event streams, but javascript data structures are almost all mutable by default, and O.o is a great way to take advantage of that fact. Instead of abstracting away data changes behind events, why not use data directly? Instead of fighting the language, why not (at times) embrace mutability?
Yeah but thats not what I did.
Lessig running not as a VP, but to get his podium into the next White House seems like a worthwhile shot.
Sometimes its about sending a message. After all, its not a horse race; you don't win any prize by backing the winner.
> Google as the one with root access on your device

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Citation needed, to say the least.

Running open-source software from Google as root doesn't mean that Google has root access to your device.

Language evolves; "FP" today means something different from what it meant 10 years ago. There's no need for dismissiveness in either direction.
JavaScript is all over eventing. But such a system requires cooperation or control between those firing and those subscribing to events. When the object we're talking about is e.g. an HTMLIFrameElement and it changes its own height it would be neat to be able to peek into object attribute changes.

Playing a musical instrument, speaking a foreign language, and social skills, are definitely strongly correlated with IQ-loaded tests like the SAT. Yep.

I have no idea how football fairs, but you can debate the usefulness of that as an objection to the validity of IQ with someone else.
The original owner no longer has access to the revenue stream so yes, the implication is correct.
Isn't it an async callback though?

IMHO, it would be much more useful if it were synchronous.

ActiveVideo - Hilversum (near Amsterdam, The Netherlands) or San Jose (California) - Full Time - ONSITE, we can help with relocation/VISA

ActiveVideo is going through a growth phase right now. We have an innovative product to virtualize the set-top box (think using old set-top boxes with a video stream rendered in the cloud), with large customers all over the world. We have operations and QA positions open in San Jose, but our core engineering group is in Hilversum, the Netherlands, where we have a really strong team of competent software and QA engineers. One thing we hear time and again from recent hires is how much they value their new colleagues, and employees judge their own compensation as pretty good in a recent survey.

We're looking for both C++ and Java developers -- though for the latter I should add we're not looking for the enterprise business-rule kind of Java developer, but rather the systems-level Java developer. Our Java codebase is a multi-threaded (evented), very scalable distributed system with strong consistency guarantees. We have a media/codec-related C++ code base (if you like getting your hands dirty with H.264, MPEG2 or Intel's cool GPU-based real-time transcoding, this is for you) as well as our own cloud-based browser engine, where we pretty much run WebKit on the cloud.

And of course we wouldn't be able to deliver quality product without our QA team members, both embedded in the development teams and in an integration-level System QA team.

Yeah, Kotlin looks largely like a simpler, stripped down version of Scala. It's a lot closer to Scala than it is to Java, but it's close enough to Java devs to not have to put in much effort to learn vs learning Scala. I prefer Scala, but not everyone wants to invest the time to learn it in order to gain maybe 25% more expressiveness. Kotlin also seems like a better fit for Android than Scala (and Java for that matter).

Even if you don't care about trying to identify the original source of some piece of content, it seems like the content farm site which is plagiarizing is more likely to be a lower quality site than the original content producer.

The behavior does seem weird in any case, like there is a certain slot for a given piece of content, and Google is swapping different domains in and out to fill that slot. It seems like Google is actually trying to identify the original content, failing, and then actually inadvertently penalizing the original producer.
Any implications for Google Polymer? I haven't kept up, but I remember from the time that I was working with it, Polymer depended on (i.e. built upon) either a native implementation of Object.observe or a polyfill that performs "dirty checking". The latter is not exactly a high performance underpinning for a library (though it works, sure).
I'm sure Adblock works great. I'm interested in how the web works for people who don't care about technology, and it's a nightmare. Ad-supported software or web apps are a descending staircase of user-hate.

People will pay for content - but that content needs to be worth paying for.
>when evaluating data centers I had one tell me they had redundant connections to the Internet but what they really had were two lambdas on the same fiber.

Sadly, this kind of shenanigan is pretty common.

I've also seen datacenters that have additional providers on different fiber...but when you follow the fibers upstream, all fiber winds up at the same POP. Predictably, outages at the POP would take the downstream datacenters offline.
This is why you have fiber leaving your datacenter in two different direction and to two backbone providers. Once you do your due diligence, it's really hard to guarantee your providers never share infrastructure. Good luck guys!
Is that why you supported Lessig?
Democrats and Republicans are more similar than different. They both represent the financial elite to the detriment of those with less power. Sure, they may trade off from year to year on issues of little relevance (which party did Andrew Jackson belong to again? Abe Lincoln?), but in the end they're in lock step when it comes to who owns whom and what.

Who keeps Wall St in control of our banking regs? The popular answer is Republicans - the party of big business. The actual answer is that 4 of Hillary Clinton's top 5 all time donors are Wall St banks. In return Clinton talks tough about wall st - but only be saying we ought to "enhance" the volker rule. You can guess who will come up with that "enhancement" as well as I can. Ask a small bank what they think of Dodd-Frank (named after two Democrats, btw - and vocal "opposition" to Wall St excess). So much for the party of the little guy. You can go on and on like this for both parties. The only constant is that they support the rich.
Can you give examples of how nosh is superior to launchd?
Oh please. The tools I use rapidly allow me to chain all sorts of stuff together to create things that surpass even Slack and other apps.

Where is a Slack that can do "sensitivity calculation" to alert users of possibly hostile tone? That's right. Not created yet. Give me a half hour and I could have the beginning of that. I also could get translation facilities built in so that English/French/German/Spanish could be seamlessly translatable.

The sky's the limit. And your negativity diminishes your ideas.
Let me tell you what my favorite aspect of the MOOC model is: it allows me to enroll in classes that are not in my field and have absolutely nothing to do with advancing my career. I have a feeling that a class like yours would cost thousands of dollars, a kind of investment I could only justify if it made me better at my job.

Another aspect that is a lot of fun is that in one year you can take a class at Princeton, a few months later one in Calgary, then a few months later in Kopenhagen. All for no other reason than that I'd like to learn more about the subject. It's like going to college, but without the stress and pressure.

About retaining knowledge: you always lose the details after a subject ends, but regain it as you use the subject in your daily work. That's just how education works, you learn how to learn, not to retain the details. You can always look those up later.

Yeah, exactly. Even if they try to limit it from US corporations, couldn't a multi-national or seemingly separate foreign company just start advertising online?

Then you have to deal with regulating the internet. And, we don't want that because it opens the door to individuals' voices being censored too.
