Monzo | Backend Engineer (Security Infrastructure) | £75k - £100k + stock | Remote (UK, IE, FR) or in London, whatever works for you | Full-time | https://monzo.com

What's Monzo?

At Monzo, we’re building a new kind of bank. One that lives on your smartphone and built for the way you live today.

We believe there should be an alternative to the banking of the past: we're focused on solving problems, rather than selling financial products, making your financial life simpler, and giving you complete control from your smartphone.

Internally, we encourage an open, collaborative, inclusive working environment. We contribute to open source software, and we continually engage with our wonderful community.

The role (it's on my team :D)

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer (Security Infrastructure) to ensure that Monzo’s platform and core infrastructure is safe and secure by design.

You’ll help us with the following questions and challenges:

Securing our critical infrastructure, such as Kubernetes, Cassandra, Kafka, and the AWS services, Data Centres and networks they rely on;
Providing and managing the foundational infrastructure for other Security and Platform Engineering squads to build upon;
Managing our secrets, keys and certificates to ensure our systems are airtight;
Automating access control and permissioning for our cloud infrastructure.
Here are some of the projects the team have worked on in the past:

> without all the DEI bullshit a while back, I’d rather work with faculty and staff who don’t cater to my ethnicity, gender or whatever irrelevant traits,

Let me give you an example of where one example where it might feel like bullshit and be perceived to be irrelevant to you, but makes a big deal when it comes to individual students in my classroom.

On the issue of pronouns, many people feel like it's a bullshit thing they don't want to deal with. They view the inclusion of pronouns in a signature as a waste of time. I've been told as much. It's fine to have this position in the abstract, but it comes with costs in contexts that confront the reality that transgendered students exist.

Consider the fact that every semester, I will have at least 1-2 transgendered students in my classroom. For 99% of the students there, their pronouns are conventionally obvious. However, some students might be registered as "Christopher" yet they may present as conventionally female, and go by "Chris".

A good DEI statement might talk about an experience one has with this kind of situation. It's a situation that happens commonly for educators. How did they handle this situation? How did the students respond? What did the applicant learn? Pretty much the only wrong answer here is to dismiss this as a bullshit nonissue that is irrelevant. Maybe it's irrelevant to you in your personal life, but it's not irrelevant to everyone, and in fact is quite relevant to the professional performance of a faculty member.
In the end, I went with this library for now: https://github.com/chris-rudmin/opus-recorder

There are issues reported with the latest iOS, though.
Could the Great Resignation force techies to get career agents?
Oh, the rabbit hole goes much much deeper. American infrastructure is actively hostile to people walking/biking/doing anything else than driving and even then not very safe. I'd recommend the NotJustBikes youtube channel that really drives the point home, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxykI30fS54
The reason pigments or anything else is blue is also because of physics.
I don't think they are wannabes. Getting a feature accepted to C++ is hard. That's why most people push their features into Boost (well, MVP style). The C++ committee has respected people with years of experience.

I have FSD Beta and I can tell you I have never seen FSD do a rolling stop.
Right. I use two other e-mail forwarding services, and neither one requires an app or a browser extension - they're controlled through simple web interfaces.

While I'm a happy user of DDG's search engine, their e-mail service is not something I'd use.
This looks interesting, but show me the pricing and stop with the signup, it’s free bs. If it’s now, it won’t be later. Google showed us that.
Great response. It is so context specific.

The worst is just going through the motions. Work on this useless project to say we worked on career development for the year and check off a box. Then at the start of the year start working on another useless project for next review.

As long as you don't do that I think you are ahead of 50% of managers I have had.
I was going to write 10 years too late, but I decided to look it up.

I'm proud to announce i was wrong. It's actually 15 years too late, since it was promised in 2007.

I suppose increased regularisation worldwide has something to do with it to announce it again.

I'm curious which features they will lag now...
JOON | Remote (US Timezones and Europe UTC+0/1) | Full Time | https://joon.io

JOON is revolutionizing employee wellness benefits by making them flexible and easy to use. Employers choose the transaction categories they'd like to reimburse employees for - typically related to Health & Wellness, or Learning & Development - and employees' purchases are automatically tracked, reported, and reimbursed via our integrations with Plaid and Stripe. The end result is that employees can get reimbursed by their employers at whatever [gym, health food shop, learning platform] they prefer. Other benefits platforms might see only 20% utilization by employees; we often see utilization of JOON at >70%. Our long-term vision is to improve employment for everyone, and we're starting by making wellbeing more accessible.

Our core tech stack is straightforward:
- Ruby on Rails
- React
- Typescript
- PostgreSQL

Our team is tiny (<5 engineers!) but rapidly growing; currently we're looking for full-stack engineers who identify with our mission and want to make a huge impact. To find out more (and apply) check out the full post here: https://angel.co/l/2wkn8P

The Alpine Wiki isn't written by MySQL/MariaDB experts, and is focused on an installation / very basic administrative perspective; from that angle they're not too different. But they've substantially diverged in terms of internals, advanced administrative functionality, and overall focus.

Guilded (YC S17) | Full Time | Full-stack software engineer, data scientist, product marketing | $150,000+ | REMOTE (U.S. only) | https://www.guilded.gg

We're looking for senior full-stack software engineers and data scientists to connect the world's online gaming communities.

We enjoy working and gaming together, have IRL meetups in really fun locations, get a daily Tovala subscription, and have very interesting challenges ahead in all areas from building new features to scaling our infrastructure to meet demand. I can honestly say Guilded is the closest I've gotten to my ideal company culture. See our company handbook at https://www.guilded.gg/jobs for our philosophy on teams.

I Dissent.

I've seen so many shady tricks pulled by recruiters. I'm sure it goes both ways, but never forget the recruiter isn't in the business of helping you, they're in the business of helping the people who pay them.

Seen recruiters low-ball staff, or tell the person that they weren't as good as other candidates... "but if you lower your day rate to be more aligned with your junior-level skills..." So when the person shows up, they feel deflated since they think we thought they were junior... but in fact, we loved them and just didn't have enough budget to hire them at the right rate -- and the recruiter helped us get their rates down because at the end of the day the recruiter only cared about putting seats in chairs for us.

Seen recruiters spam over candidates without so much as doing a basic screening interview. "Oh yeah, he's great... he knows JavaScript and English..." and they're literally just looking at the poor guy's LinkedIn and they haven't ever spoken with him past a few copy-paste emails. It's a numbers game to them. They don't want you, as the person paying them, to ever feel like their shelves are empty.

Seen recruiters promise people visas along with the offer letter... then for whatever reason, if the job shifts, the recruiters just cancel the contract and the person would get deported. Saw this in Sydney A LOT. The recruiters and staffing agencies don't care at all what happens to the person, as long as they get a commission. They lie and over-promise, and sell-sell-sell... and even if they only have a 3-month contract they'll promise someone a year, then just switch it last minute or have a cancellation clause.

As someone who worked for a Digital Agency where we hired a lot of people through recruiters... the number of times some poor bloke would come up to me and be like, "So... 3 months probation then I'm full time? That's what the recruiter said... now you can get me a visa and I'll be able to bring my wife over here too?" and I'd have to be like, "Yeah sorry, Johnny... this was just a 3-month gig." Had one guy, "But I gave up my family's visa for this... the recruiter promised me higher pay and that you'd take over my visa..." Felt awful. And the poor guy almost certainly had to leave Sydney when the job was done.

Worse... my GM wouldn't let me fire that recruiter. "They give us the best rates..." Was all so shady. Left me with the solid impression that these people were all just bottom feeders. Willing to do anything to make a buck that day.
Related anecdote: The south of Sweden is full of people who think they “invented Bluetooth”. I’ve met a handful.
Leave. Seriously. If you're contemplating it, and it's something you can do fairly easily, a lateral move, do it.

Restructurings always suck, especially those resulting from sales. They have every incentive to keep you on the line like a trout hooked, "a potential resource". Nothing they say will be binding. If they need you, they might keep you. If they don't, you went through all that trouble for a big fat goodbye.

There's nothing saying you can't come back. If you're a good employee and you leave respectfully, you can always come back. They might even need you to, and if they do, you'll get a significant salary bump.

Yeah, man, restructurings suck. You're the total fuckbag all the way through and nobody tells you anything that's true. You know this is true because HR is always a central cog to the clown show. Bleh. Shiver. Makes me itch. Went through a Koch Brothers "restructuring" once and boy was that aplenty fun to never want do that again.
And there are circumstances where it's both reasonable and expected to pass a vehicle over a double yellow line (a slow-moving agricultural vehicle or a horse and buggy, for instance).

And there are definitely cases when it's preferable to closely cut a yellow light than risk a collision if you're being tailgated and don't have much faith in the person behind you stopping if you do.

At best, the law codifies best practices for the typical case.

At worst it's a tool used to selectively target some people over others. See, for example, the concept of "driving while Black".
Youtube has the type "nsfw" before any youtube.com address to bypass the age-restriction.
You had to install the JVM. It often broke or bugged you to update. UI usually felt off or janky, and unresponsive. At the time, Java applets were huge compared to typical web pages, and had crap performance. By the time hardware and connections improved enough to make the last two things less of a problem, JavaScript could do most of the useful things the JVM could with fewer security risks (and hardware was fast enough that that wasn't also so slow that no-one would tolerate it, as it would have been earlier).

[EDIT] Oh, and it had to compete with Flash and Shockwave, which had (barely) fewer issues with plugin breakage, very nice authoring tools (still unmatched, AFAIK?), and, despite having crap performance, still performed better than Java applets. Plus a whole lot more fun things used them so normal people had a motivation to install them.

> when done in appropriate circumstances

If a law leaves "appropriate circumstances" to the discretion of the public then it is effectively useless. If you get hit by a driver who refused to stop at a stop sign, you're most certainly not going to think that rolling stops are fine.
It's even easier to warp your opinion of it by trying to daily-drive a Flatpak, you'll be begging for distro packages in no time!

Read as "usually safe".
Yeah true. Any good comparisons you can point us at?
That was something that occurred to me when I first heard about this. It’s probably safer to drive in an expected way than a legal way.
Good question. What actually happens if an open source permissive license product is accused of violating a patent? There’s not exactly a company to sue.
Quantinuum is generating truly random encryption keys using QC systems. The correlated noise in some QC systems is low-enough to guarantee truly random key generation... so a useful application to enhance high-value computer/information security.
Patent trolls are like the herpes of the innovation world - they will infect smaller players and inhibit their ability to develop without flare ups of litigation

My point wasn't about being "blocked as spam" though, but about wanting out of Gmail or having your Gmail account closed.

That said, if Google marks your email as spam, you can create an alias and send email as that, or create a different email account - same as they can if their previous provider throws them out, folds, and so on.

You still get to email your gmail-using friends.
Nitpick: I think you mean that the probability is 1 and the odds infinity.
Are you writing from theory, or from personal experience with game app stores? Because IMO, this is mostly a solved problem in practice with Steam, Epic Store, Windows Store etc. That’s partly why those platforms are so popular.
