SEEKING FREELANCER -- Remote OK (We're based in Hong Kong, something within a few time-zones is preferable)

We're a mobile communications startup based out of HK (both founders from the valley though). We're launching an iOS app in September and we're working as quickly as we can to get Android ready as well, but it's still at least 2 months behind. Looking to hire a freelancer with Android experience to help shrink that timeline down.

I've been a pragmatic software engineer for 15 years, and have developed robust solutions for both the frontend and backend. I've largely been part of small teams that built a data warehouse ETL utility which processed billions of customer records nightly for a dozen Fortune 500 companies; a distributed document store with terabytes of historical data, an ISO consistency requirement, and a strict availability guarantee; and a service-oriented platform managing internal business data worth millions of dollars in revenue. I also have experience leading, mentoring, and training developers.

I'm interested in large data sets, web services, and distributed systems, but I'm willing to branch out into new domains. I recently reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub. I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.

My GitHub projects include 700+ solutions to Project Euler (in 12 languages!), a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, a simple performance monitor, a beanstalkd library, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and documentation for Rust.

UX Engineer (Veer West / FormAssembly.com, Full-time, Bloomington, IN or REMOTE)

Designing user interactions around web form building and data collection is a real challenge. If you’ve ever had to fill out a form online and cursed at your screen, you know what we’re trying to improve.

We’re looking for a user experience designer with strong technical skills (Javascript, HTML, CSS, iOS, Android) to join our team.

Veer West is a bootstrapped, profitable and growing company. We're hiring employee #10 and beyond. If you're looking to make a difference, our small team, lean operation and impressive roster of customers is the perfect environment for you.

Ruby Developer to Fix America
Department of Better Technology
Headquarters: USA
http://www.dobt.co

About us

We’re the Department of Better Technology, a Knight Foundation-funded startup that’s digging into the guts of government and trying to fix it with technology.

Job Details

We're hiring a web developer to help us revolutionize the world of government IT. We started this company after being embedded inside government and seeing first-hand the horrors of the technology that these folks have to use everyday. We worked on a project called RFP-EZ that made it super simple to view and bid on government contracts. It wasn't anything amazing -- just a simple Bootstrap site, but just by making this process easier to understand for web firms who don't specialize in government contracting, we were able to save the federal government an average of 30%.

We've been in business for a just under a year, and have already created dozens of success stories - governments who are using our software to save staff time, save money, and provide better experiences for citizens. We're looking to grow our team and help us scale this success to governments across the country.

Experience

We're looking to bring on a developer who fits the following:

You are experienced in Ruby and ideally, Rails
You have strong knowledge of SQL/Postgres
You have a passion for good user experience and are excited about frontend development, too
You are comfortable working with a 100% distributed team
And last, but perhaps most important, you are as passionate as we are about our mission to revolutionize government IT

Our Culture

For many people in the technology industry, DOBT is a different kind of place to work, and a different set of people work here. Usually, they’re people who value time more than they value money. While from time to time, circumstances may call for it, you aren’t going to see a lot of 80 hour weeks, and depending on your time zone you might see some people who clock out at around 6.

You’re probably not going to be in a work environment that has a foosball table, catered lunches, and its own mass transportation either. That’s because we’re a fully remote firm. While some people may opt to work together in the same space, we want people to work from wherever they feel like it. So if you’ve always wanted to live in Japan, now’s your chance.

Diversity

DOBT is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate and will take measures to ensure against discrimination in employment, recruitment, advertisements for employment, compensation, termination, upgrading, promotions, and other conditions of employment against any employee or job applicant on the bases of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex. We are committed in all areas to providing a work environment that is free from harassment.

How to apply

Fill out the form on Screendoor: https://screendoor.dobt.co/dobt/developer-hiring/ (yay for dogfooding!) Alternatively, send a note to sdp-response-hclhimz1@in.dobt.co. USA/Canada only, sorry. Recruiters and agencies will be marked as spam.

As an art student I'd get headaches and overwhelmed in museums. I mentioned this to a professor and he said, "Don't feel like you have to look at every single work in here."

With that simple reframing of the experience, I now can spend a lot more time in a museum, especially in front of the works I'm particularly drawn to. When we visited Paris, we spent hours at the Louvre every single day we were there.
Gurock, www.gurock.com - remote/world-wide - HQ in Berlin, Germany

About Us

===================================

We are a small & successful bootstrapped software company from Germany and build popular web-based applications for software teams. We have been in business since 2004 and many thousands of teams, both small and large, use our products. We are hiring for different positions, but our main focus right now is on hiring a technical support engineer to help us support our TestRail customers as well as account engineers to help us demo/sell our products.

Those are not typical support and sales roles though, as our products and customers are very technical (they are software dev/testing teams), so both positions are quite challenging.

Yes, if you're in Germany your programming is for Germany whether or not you have a US or German account.

The bad news is that you'll have to use a VPN to pretend to be from some other country (US) in order to get some of the shows not offered in your own country (Germany).

The good news is that you can use a VPN to register for Netflix (and pay less!) and get the same content as you would get if you registered in Germany.

The last time I checked some Netflix features (watch list?) were disabled if you are 'traveling' outside your region.
For once I can commend the Miami county commissioners for not caving to a sports team owner and calling the bluff of Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. He wanted $250M to refurbish/remodel his stadium, they said no, because they knew he wasn't going to move the team. Though I think they did agree to tax concessions which are going to negatively impact the surrounding neighborhoods ability to police itself.
SEEKING WORK - London, UK or remote

I'm currently seeking freelancing work as a full stack web developer. I have significant experience in Ruby on Rails, and have worked in teams as well as individually to produce high-quality, well-tested web services. Most recently, I've been working on a site and accompanying mobile app to record weddings and other events (see https://kapshare.com/kyleandkarla).

My preferred web development framework is Ruby on Rails. I have full-stack web development experience, and enjoy everything from automating deployments on Linux to building front-end components in React.js. I also have experience in Python (especially for machine learning, with pandas/scikit-learn) and Android app development.

Please reach out to me if you're interested in learning more.

That doesn't follow in the slightest. Just because AWS has data centres around the world, it doesn't follow that Dropbox is using them.

Do you have any sort of cite for your claim? Because the link in the comment you're replying to suggests that they store everything purely in the US.
And for some cases you actually model at over scale >1:1 as this give better results its screamingly expensive so only tends to get done for flows inside nuclear rectors and so on.

Coder and roboticist, Caltech and CMU grad, 5 years experience in software development/QA/devops.
Halifax recently switched from a web app to a native Android app, and made the same restriction (no rooted devices for the native app).
I agree with most[1] of the issues he is aiming to solve. But the approach would have been useful if he would have built it on top a superior existing system which is Nix & NixOS. Docker is increasing popular while missing most of the problem NixOS (and the new vision of systemd) solve, so I'd say it is not wrong to assume there is definitely solid demand for this kind of app "packaging" (virtualization).

Tying this to systemd is an "interestingly" bold move, to put it mildly. People don't switch to btrfs just for the sake of an initrd replacement, after all, and forcing them is openly asking for replacements. So, I would be very careful if were willing to see that vision materialize.

[1]: One obvious point of discussion is declaring exact versions of library dependencies, which in most systems leads to highly undesirable results: just compare the horrible world of maven packaging (i.e., the java world, mostly) to the efficient (but curated) world of debian packages. But when you have exact declarable dependencies (where any dependency dictates exact versions of its own dependencies), and reliably reproducible builds (the game changing factor), and hopefully some level of automated testing, you will be fine: You can quickly upgrade all your package portfolio to the newest version of the "security fixed" library, have the world get rebuilt against the newness, and get everything verified (using the tests that you have. You have some, don't you?). The problem of transferring only what actually changed is non-trivial but completely solvable in various ways (Example: only send diffs, and issue new encryption/hashes for the diffs through an automated trusted system that does the diffing).
Perhaps someone should make a list of applications or services which are hostile towards rooted/jailbroken devices. Maybe effect some change.
I have never heard of web forms being difficult to fill out. If you're cursing a web form, it sounds like you have other issues.

Because Rob Pike made it. And Bjarne Stroustrup didn't.

Rob and Bjarne know each other from Bjarne's time in the Unix lab. The had philosophical differences, Rob tells of Bjarne's storming outbox a conversation.

Some of us trust Rob's judgement, having been treated kindly by it before, so we will walk down his path and trust where it is leading. When Russ Cox joins us, we know for sure that the path will be safe and the walk will do us good.
You are not "absorbing" vital technical knowledge so much as fighting boredom.

My suggestion: go for walks during your work day. When possible, bring someone along from work that you need to discuss business with and make the walking time productive. If you walk by yourself, take advantage of time away from the computer to mentally step back and look at the "big picture" of what you are working on.
