PingCAP | Software Engineer, Customer Success | San Mateo and distributed | Full-Time | Remote | https://angel.co/pingcap-1/jobs

We make TiDB, an open source scale-out database that is always consistent, always online, and MySQL compatible. Our underlying distributed key-value layer, TiKV, is a CNCF project.

We have a lot of interesting challenges to keep scaling for our existing users with 100+ TB of data and to keep expanding what TiDB can do to help users with their data.

I am part of the international team based out of San Mateo (bay area). Our small team is oriented to being remote, and we travel periodically to meet in person. Much of our team effort is targeted towards making this amazing technology more accessible to the rest of the world [1].

Our tech stack is Rust, Go, Kubernetes, and TiDB itself! You can work on a serverless cloud service, do low-level database hacking, or work directly with customers depending on your existing experience.

I like working on TiDB because I get to be a part of a big change going on in databases and work with a highly-skilled cohesive team. I am constantly learning new things about databases, Kubernetes, etc, but I also get to apply my existing experience to have a big impact.

See the jobs link for more details and compensation.

Quebec has a similar law. As a result, Canadian services with a format of "free one month trial and then $x for the next twelve months" tend to be available in Quebec as "$x for the first thirteen months".
What I don't get is how they keep doing those "it might look like an ad except we don't even get paid" stunts. Honestly, to me this seems even worse than actually inserting genuine ads. That would be horrible as well, but at least I knew they are a way to support Mozilla.

Those "partnerships" on the other hand seem all about showing that Mozilla is willing to sacrifice any kind of UI integrity or user control in order to advertise their user base as capital - without even gaining them anything.

What is going on there?

...or are some people in charge at Mozilla really delusional enough to believe the "this is our thank you to our users" line?

[REMOTE] Marketing Demand Gen (PPC/SEO/Content) at Varonis - https://www.varonis.com

Varonis is an enterprise software company (B2B) that helps organizations better secure their data.

This is perhaps not the most glitzy thing, but I really appreciate that:

* The software does what it says
* It's pretty unique in how it does it
* Actually, genuinely useful to the people that use it daily
* Helps protect basically everybody else on the internet

In short, it's something I feel really good about representing and I think that makes marketing it much easier.

The Inbound group is fully remote, large enough to have an actual budget for things, small enough to have some flexibility in execution and be open to new ideas.

We're looking for a very hands-on person who can help increase the number of inbound leads generated by leveraging the work of the existing content and sales teams. We want to build intelligent multi-step campaigns that educate and inform prospects as the first introduction to our company, explore new campaign platforms and make smart data-driven decisions about what to pursue.

I realize marketing jobs aren't usually what gets posted here, but the people who have really thrived at Varonis are both really technical (a third of the marketing team are full stack devs who moved into marketing, myself included) and adept at marketing. Our biggest wins have been when we've been able to cross those two disciplines in a unique way.

I've been using BBEdit since OS9. I love precisely 2 things about it: it takes care to not break, and it takes care to avoid trends.

Everyone used TextMate, then everyone switched to Atom, then Sublime, now VS Code. I've played around with them and it's always a question of spending time trying to get the keymaps "right" and which plugin do I use on X to replicate the functionality of X-1.

You want to yell at Bare Bones and say, you must implement .tmLanguage or .tmTheme support now! You must support Python as a scripting language and get rid of AppleScript! You must, you must, you must!

But BBEdit doesn't break, and when it does release a feature comparable to the rest of the pack, it's solid and "fits", aesthetically and functionally. (Their recent "command-p-alike" is great, for example)

It doesn't have a giant themes or plugin site, but it can open files as big as your available RAM while staying fast. I'll give up a nice TM theme for "always works and never crashes".

(Please make JavaScript for Automation the defacto over AS!)

SEEKING WORK | Gainesville, FL | remote/freelance

I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done (perhaps on a regular basis), then I would love to hear from you.

I am a very experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), desktop GUI development, database access (MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), ORMs, REST APIs, scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, parsing, language implementation, games, etc.

I have a lot of experience with relational databases and SQL as well, especially MS SQL Server. In fact, in all of my previous jobs I have used SQL, including designed database schemas, writing queries, measuring performance and optimizing queries, writing views and stored procedures, etc.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python), and for front-end development using React.

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

Well 'vast', yes, but not much else. Mainly rock and ices.
You’re missing the point of a vandals initiative.

You don’t get famous vandalizing things in your home. You do get famous vandalizing things that move through metro areas 24/7. Look at NYC subways in the 70s and 80s. They needed to create entire cleaning facilities that operated nonstop to finally get the graffiti off the trains. The insides are still tagged up to a degree.

Spray paint is probably the easiest thing to clean. Wait for people to use etch bath on the windshields and windows of these vehicles. They’ll need to replace all the windows to get them looking right again.
There need to be more black engineers at NASA. There have been great successes, but there is room for improvement.

Is Mozilla that lacking in money that they have to do this?
You appear to take an extreme stance.

Try a different argument:
If your parents knew there was a high probability that their child would inherit genes making CF an aspect of their lives, would they try to change that even at potential risk.

As a parent myself there is very little I wouldn't do for my child.

I can't imagine the pain CF has caused you and the sacrifices you've had to make. If I were your parent, my desire to not put you through pain would be invariably high.

Isn't that one element of exploration in foundations looking for a cure?

It seems transparency, the longer term impacts, the tradeoffs we will face that we just don't know. There is a cold logic that accompanies that line of thinking. I am not saying one way or another, I just feel it is worth echoing from a purely logical standpoint.
Honestly the best tower defense games are still Warcraft 3 custom maps, which is getting a refresh with Reforged. I'd recommend YouTD personally.
> * get rid of Product

> You have a product ownership problem and an interaction problem.

This is very surprising to hear, but it aligns with other replies here. Your rationale is also sound. I indeed believe that most of our problems around complexity stem from our product team.

---

> * ask engineering to move to some rapid iteration cycle process with demos at every sprint or unit of development cycle

This is what half of engineering is trying to do. The other half is a bit more cautious, though.

Others posters have made a point that we can't have both.

---

> * if you can collocate engineers with non-engineers that would be great. Everyone has to be respectful of each other’s environment, though, so if you have a problem with self-awareness this is not great. (E.g. chatty teams aren’t good next to quiet teams, phone calls are not great near engineers, etc.)

Sounds like a nice strategy to change everyone else's perception of engineering.

Markforged | Full-Stack Software Engineer (or frontend/backend) | Boston, MA | Onsite | Full-time or college intern | $100K+ and equity
We broke ground in 2014 with the world's first continuous carbon fiber 3D printer, and last year with the world's first sub-$100K metal printer. Our products are impeccably engineered and customers love us for it — our $70K printer has an NPS score of 85.

We have < 10 software engineers and are looking for a few more.

Our software stack:

* Webapp - Express.js / AWS backend, AngularJS / WebGL frontend, Electron for optional desktop client, all sanely-linted CoffeeScript

* Computational geometry engine for part slicing - Written from scratch in CoffeeScript and C++. Runs on EC2, in-browser, or on desktop client

* Printer touchscreen application - Node Webkit / AngularJS + Python -> migrating to Electron / VueJS + Python, all on top of a custom Debian image on a BeagleBone

* Printer firmware - embedded C on a custom board

Our team is all super full-stack. We generally distribute software tasks based on individual interest. As our nth software engineer, you will have tons of project ownership. Your ideas will influence the company's direction. You will do interdisciplinary work on physical systems and learn from best-of-the-best engineers across MatSci, Mech-E, EE, and SW, mostly MIT grads.

To succeed here, you need to be a quick learner and have a passion for software engineering. You don't need prior experience with 3D printing or our software stack, you can pick up those skills on the job.

You can email me directly david@ or apply online

I find it slightly annoying too. However, my degrees are in engineering and it makes sense to me that the engineer term is reserved.

> I do support an open border. Why wouldn't you?

Because the influx of people will be huge and will only stop if the incentive to move disappears, i.e. if the quality of life in your country is approximately equal to the quality of life in the worst country on the planet. Furthermore, it's not at all clear that this is a net positive if you take a consequentialist view, because your plan will probably vastly reduce scientific and technological progress by turning the countries with the highest output into failed states.

If you truly believe in equality you could give almost all of your income away. Taking a moral stance while collectivising the downside is easy, particularly when you know that it won't happen anyway. It's freeloading on the people who are willing to take a non-virtuous stance.
My gut feeling is that the spending habits of people who can afford a second "winter" home don't really reflect those of the average consumer...

Dyon: A rusty dynamically typed scripting language
Selling zero day exploits is an amoral act.

That being said, your analogy is broken and doesn't fit here at all. First, parking lots are passive and have no intelligence. Amazon is neither of those things. Also, there are no such people who dedicate their career to lawfully testing the security of parking lots in exchange for money.

In the real world of mega corporation technology (which is almost as different from a parking lot as you can get) there are countless black hats motivated by money to steal from Amazon, and countless grey hats who would help combat or mitigate the issues if properly compensated. White hats are the rare exception and report issues even without compensation.

There are numerous grey hats who:
1) If there is a bug bounty program, would report the issue to be fixed
2) else, would ignore the issue entirely.

You know this is true because you experienced it yourself. The difference is you can't afford the service of a grey hat.

So forget the morality of these hackers.

Amazon refusing to pay out a bug bounty program is amoral. Because what you're seeing is Amazon trading the security of their customers, and for what? Greed and hubris it seems.
> Why would you fire a product manager for being unable to deliver if the team is not delivering?

Yeah, that's something I also don't understand.

Honestly, I'm a bit inclined to think there is a problem with engineering, since they were able to test lots of different strategies and group dynamics in the last three years, and none of them has worked so far.
Well, guess I’m never recovering my license key for “Escape Velocity: Nova” then

Thought it'd be the syntax. Maybe next year.
> Oh, and they serve as the engineer's eyes when locomoving in reverse. :-)

Not on any system I've taken in the US. The trains have a special control car on the non-locomotive end of the train, and the engineer switches positions when switching travel directions. There is also the practice of using two or more locomotives, with at least one pair facing opposite directions so the set can be hitched to either side of the train, and dual-cab locomotives that can also be hitched to either side with a forward-facing control deck.

Clarisights | Frontend, Backend, Data engineers | Bangalore, India | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://angel.co/clarisights/jobs | 8L - 30L

Clarisights is an data ingestion and analytics platform that enables marketers to make sense of and gain unique insights from data coming in from all the sources (analytics, ads data, CRM, Payroll, etc). Our platform is a seamless in browser experience - the users just add the data sources they want to track, our backend then pulls in data from those resources and stores it into our own database. The user then proceeds to the visualisation page to create the required data visualisations.

Clarisights was founded to empower performance marketing and growth teams by creating a platform that gives them insights and superhero powers they have always wanted. Rather than wrestling with outdated spreadsheets and BI platforms that can't keep pace with their growing volume of marketing channels and data, marketers can use Clarisights to independently explore and analyse all their data in a single and intuitive interface. Marketing teams around the world use Clarisights for every aspect of their performance marketing workflow - from integrating with data channels, creating and optimising dashboards, and collaborating with teammates - all in real time!

We have found product market fit and have recently closed a $2M round from top European VC's. Currently a team of 20 people looking to scale.

We're looking for frontend, backend and data engineers at all levels (Architects, senior, mid-level and interns). https://angel.co/clarisights/jobs

We deal with a lot of data and need real-time responses - you will have an opportunity to work on some really hard engineering problems. We often run into performance issues in popular open source tools and libraries - we don't hesitate to find the bottlenecks and fix them. Team is lead by Ex-Google and Ex-Facebook folks who've got lots of experience building scalable production software.

Tech stack :

Backend : PostGres, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, Ruby on Rails (we're considering a migration to Elixir or GoLang). Hosted on Google cloud platform.

Frontend : React, Redux, Styled components, Jest, FlowType, WebPack, etc.
