Pivotal | ONSITE SF, NYC, Palo Alto and many, many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Operators, Sales

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over APIs. It doesn't matter whether your résumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it. We're broken into three basic divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Pivotal Big Data. Moving between divisions, temporarily or permanently, is possible.

We have offices in San Francisco, New York City, Santa Monica LA, Palo Alto, Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Toronto, London, Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, Singapore and Beijing, with more coming.

We are constantly thinking about how we work and how we can work more sensibly, effectively and enjoyably.

-- Pivotal Labs, from which the company draws its name and cultural seed, helps clients to become better at development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud Foundry solves application deployment and management. We're the main contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. We're constantly improving the leading opensource PaaS -- our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever.

Except for integrated upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform available.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode (incubating), is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, good benefits and competitive pay. You'll probably learn more, more quickly, than any other time in your career. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

You can see the available jobs and apply through our website: https://pivotal.io/careers. If you do, please mention my name. You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions you might have. Either of these helps me score one of our referral bonsues (did I mention our generous referral scheme?)

For what it's worth, I'm just an engineer, so my replies might not be immediate. I hope that's OK.
I like reading books, but I don't want to spend every waking hour reading either.
I was able to log into the knowledgebase (e.g. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/412643) using my new developer account. Working in a CentOS shop, this has made my week!
Messenger.com is down
Yes, but I think they're the kind of knowledge you hold on to for the test and then, unless you become a mathematician, you avoid for the rest of your life.

I understand "sigma notation" and related mathematical symbolism, and can work my way through understanding a formula if I really need to. But given a choice, I let my eyes glaze over and pretend I didn't see the formula. I'm one of those programmers, and I think typically so, who consider math a distant relative whom I give a friendly wave from a distance but not one I like to corner for an intense heart-to-heart.
Transcriptic | Full Time | ONSITE (Menlo Park, CA) | www.transcriptic.com

All job listings: https://www.transcriptic.com/hiring

Transcriptic is setting new standards for basic research by making life science discoveries cheaper, faster, and more accessible than anyone thought possible. We enable scientists to run experiments on our automated work cells via our web application from anywhere in the world. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

We're a rapidly growing startup, now 30-something people, well funded ($15M) and have customers at places like Harvard, MIT, Caltech, UCSF, and Stanford. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

We're looking for talented engineers and bioengineers to join our team. You'll have competitive salary and benefits, subsidized commuting, free caffeine and food, and great teammates.

Of course CloudFlare's "view" of the situation is "skewed".

So's the Tor project's.

So's the view of the website operators receiving this traffic.

Cloudflare's post acknowledge the fact that there are at least three major points of view on this problem. The Tor project, by contrast, is increasingly striking me as taking on a petulant tone by refusing to acknowledge that and acting (implicitly if nothing else) as if their view is the only one.

To be honest, the core problem here is not Cloudflare. The core problem is that their customers don't really want Tor traffic. Cloudflare is, to my eye, bending over backwards for Tor compared to what I'd expect from a corporation, however it may feel to Tor. I would suggest the Tor project and its users, however annoyed they may be at their day-to-day experience, are ill-advised to take a petulant tone here, lest Cloudflare indeed give their customers the ability to whitelist and blacklist Tor as a whole... because I completely agree with Cloudflare that effectively nobody is going to whitelist it.

Zerto — http://www.zerto.com — Israel (Herzliya); Boston (halfway between Broadway & South stations); remote

Zerto has the industry's leading hypervisor-based replication solution for private, public, and hybrid clouds. If you're interested in virtualization, data protection/mobility, disaster recovery—or just working on interesting technical challenges—then we might be right for you.

We just closed a $50M round with IVP and growth has been fantastic. We're on a hiring spree with a wide range of openings, including roles in QA, R&D, DevOps, product management, sales/solutions engineers, development, etc. Technologies include C++, C#, .NET, PHP, Apex, and Javascript (Angular).

Experience with and/or interest in these could be helpful: hypervisors, cloud computing, virtualization, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, and Azure.

Also hiring for a ton of non-technical positions, especially in sales, marketing, and account management—most of these positions are also fully remote and spread out globally.

- Boston openings: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3imkUhwE

- Israel openings: http://app.jobvite.com/m?33mkUhwp

- Remote openings: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3PnkUhwc

One critical job in San Francisco I wanted to highlight in particular. We're looking for a Director of Technology Alliances as a great technical marketing role in the Bay Area. Check it out here: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3cnkUhwz
> High-speed rail competes badly against air travel

For long distances, yes. For short to medium distances, high-speed rail can be much better. In the DC-Boston corridor, rail is already very competitive with air and that's with "high-speed" rail speeds averaging 80mph. True high-speed rail would be much better than air in that corridor.
And, because I am starting to see patterns in the questions I am asked, herewith please find enclosed an FAQ list.

-- What positions are available?

The most up-to-date list is always at https://pivotal.io/careers

-- I'm interested in engineering. Do you really pair and TDD for everything?

That is the default in Labs and Cloud Foundry.

Lots of people nope their way out at this point. That's reasonable, but I think you'll be missing out if you don't try.

-- Do you accept remotes?

In general, no.

-- I'm looking for an internship ...

Unfortunately, we're fully loaded for 2016.

-- Do you hire junior candidates?

We do. However the appetite for junior candidates will vary from division to division, office to office, discipline to discipline and from time to time.

The process is still the same for everyone, according to which discipline you are applying for.

-- Can you do US visa support?

As you know, H1Bs are a gawdawful mess.

So officially, "Pivotal is primarily looking for people who have or can obtain on their own the right to work in the US. Visa sponsorship is possible for unique situations."

Folks able to obtain TN or E3 visas are in a stronger position.

-- I'm from $ANNOYING_RECRUITMENT_CO / $ANNOYING_STAFF_AUG_FIRM / $ANNOYING_LIST_RESELLER_INC, can I have a minute of your time to talk about -

No. Shoo.

-- I'm that robot from Jobsy that scrapes this thread, republishes the ads and forces you to log in to delete them because it's a scuzzy "growth hack". Does that annoy you?

Yes. It is very annoying, Jobsy. I specifically do not give you permission to recreate my ad. Kindly stop infringing my copyright.

(Everyone else is fine. Jobsy though, ugh)

-- What's the worst thing people say about you?

This one brought back memories of Slashdot circa 1997-98, which I enjoyed very much: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11327763
The trouble with cloudflare, the lawyers of the internet. Making money on other peoples problems but not really solving anything.
Deprecate Magic Constructors in PHP
It's more like "stop encouraging self-destructive and ultimately counter-productive behavior." Long hours don't necessarily mean productive work.
Savvy – global platform for 1:1 live video learning is hiring in San Francisco: Full-Stack Developer - https://angel.co/savvy-7/jobs/124420-full-stack-developer-fu...

How do you classify traffic as from the Tor network? I am interested in how this is done for a real e-commerce site in production.
Since you think CloudFlare is lying, what do you think the truth is?
Well, the site looks great and I've also worked with few members of the Team i.e Vivek (This guy is a great PHP developer) and Harsh is another great guy when it comes to creativity, his designs are always out of the box!

They are creative, quick and are the best, the cost 7777$ is another great thing, I don't have projects in my mind right now, else I'd any day go with this team.

TrialReach http://trialreach.com

TrialReach is a VC-backed startup solving the problem of matching patients to clinical trials. We’ve raised over $20m in funding and have centrally located offices in London (eng + product) and New York (commerical). Most importantly, we’re solving a problem that makes a real difference to the lives of millions of patients worldwide.

We’ve developed a question-based algorithm for probabilistically matching patients to trials (take it for a spin with our initial US diabetes release: http://trialreach.com/diabetes.html) and we’re recruiting engineers for our London office. Our back-end is predominantly Python.

We're also interested in talking to anyone with experience of data architecture for healthcare products. In particular this would mean a good understanding of available medical ontologies and a solid theoretical understandig of database architectures.

For more details on this (+ other roles inc product and project management) please see here: http://trialreach.com/about/jobs.html

If you have any questions feel free to email jobs at trialreach.com (please mention that you saw this on HN and these will come through to me). Also happy to discuss internships as long as you’re available for at least 3 months.

Fortran 70.
I connected and spent a few minutes poking around to try and understand the usefulness of this. Something for those in countries where web traffic is blocked? Is this a power tool just for Wikipedia editors?

Oh, wait, ugh... is this an April Fool's joke?
I did pass because I'm way too picky about jobs to put up with that. But even so, what if I had been desperate for a job and passing just wasn't an option?

I also mentioned that this was a place that is widely regarded as a great employer. Most engineers would want to work there. It makes it really hard to say that the weird behavior of one recruiter is a good reason to pass, but at the same time, no one should have to put up with having their frequency of open source contribution questioned like that.

You can't understand prop 13 without understanding the environment in which it was passed. The price of houses was shooting up 20-30% a year, and people who had owned their houses for decades were being forced to sell because they couldn't pay the taxes.

The idea that somehow a higher property tax will keep prices under control is not borne out by experience.
I think Cloudflare's blog post was incredibly nuanced, well thoughtout and (dare I say) pro-Tor. They implemented a way for their users to whitelist Tor traffic (bypassing all Captcha's), without allowing their users to blacklist Tor traffic.

This response seems a bit of a childish knee-jerk reaction from the Tor project, which could've been worded more maturely.
I find the 94% figure believable (for requests, not source IP addresses), Tor is after all the obvious choice for low bandwidth DoS attacks and unwanted scraping (i.e. a few individuals will generate a large percentage of Tor-routed requests at any time).

The real issue with CF for me isn't the hassle with captchas, but the fact that CloudFlare can track users across all its sites, generate profiles and even read unencrypted traffic. It's a privacy hazard by design that makes Tor particularly attractive. But as long as Tor is used only by a small minority, it will be treated this way.

Does the Tesla come with charge management settings to specify how much and when it charges? Some residents have power plans with reduced or free electricity during off peak. Mine is free on weekends for example and I usually only drive 150 miles/week. I could theoretically charge for free and always have a least a hundred miles range during the week. It would be nice if I didn't have manually schedule this.
