South Lake Tahoe (Zephyr Cove, NV)

Informa Investment Solutions, Inc. is seeking both a senior and a junior developer to join our web applications team at our office on the shores of Lake Tahoe. If you love designing and building modern, responsive web applications that make it easy for business users to run sophisticated investment analysis software, we would like to talk to you. We’re an established company with actual paying customers and we want to make our little corner of the world a better place for our users.

We use standards-based HTML, JavaScript and CSS, along with state of the art technologies – Canvas, SVG, RequireJS, Backbone, Marionette, and LESS – to build cross-browser interfaces and advanced data visualizations. The backend is a mixture of C#, Java, C++ because we believe in using the right tool for the job, and we are regularly evaluating our tools to ensure that. Our development process is agile and we release our web products approximately once a month.

Our offices are a five minute walk from the Nevada shore of Lake Tahoe and Heavenly ski resort is a fifteen minute drive from the office. As a developer you’ll also get your own private office and even though we mostly develop on Windows, all our developers have Mac hardware. We prefer to hire generalists who are as curious and excited about technology as we are. All of us enjoy learning new technologies and tools; we have a small team and each developer should be able to work on every aspect of the system.

To get a feel for one of our software products, please visit zephyrondemand.com and click Try Zephyr Analytics.

Please note: these are full-time positions in our Zephyr Cove office. We do permit senior developers (5+ yrs. relevant experience) to work remotely, but total travel time to the Zephyr office can be no longer than 3 hours. If you're interested, please email matt.motherway -at- informais.com (and put “Hacker News” in the subject). Thank you.

We just get the benefit of not having to kill ourselves working 12 hour days. =) This means you'll enjoy actually going home on time! We have many openings, both technical and non-technical. Here is a list of positions we are usually always looking for.

* Senior Android Developer

* Software iOS Developer

Or as is common now, at least one of your friends is always in the US and about to come home.
Part of it is definitely that US prices are often listed exclusive of tax, while EU prices are listed inclusive, which instantly adds 20-30%.

Granted, they still hike up the prices further in the EU and other markets, Australia being the most egregious example.
Yes. You just can't download apps or use iCloud services.
It's the lag on charging tax for imported digital goods.

We do in the UK, if you're a VAT-registered business.

For example, let's say my business pays $100/month for Web hosting in the US (or even the £40/month I pay to Adobe for Creative Cloud). I then have to "reverse charge" $20 of VAT to my accounts but then also claim back $20 of VAT from the tax authorities.. so it's a net zero result, but we still "paid" it.

I don't believe this applies to regular citizens though, but I could be wrong.. if it does, I know no-one who does it.

Jarring Numbers on Financial Inclusion
Netflix and Spotify are the same. Spotify is £9.99 here in the UK, €9.99 in most of Western Europe and $9.99 in the US. Admittedly they have to deal with record labels so it's a bit different, but it's not really an excuse.

Strangely Dropbox here is showing the price as $9.99.

Cerego builds learning technology that helps people learn more efficiently. We currently have teams located in San Francisco and Tokyo. This position is for the Tokyo team.

With powerful core learning technologies in place, we are now looking to greatly expand the platform. We go from ideas to prototypes to working features quickly, and we're looking for someone who can help us every step of the way. We think that fast, focused releases are the best way to craft the best learning experiences for our users.
In addition to our core technology stack, we love learning new tools, technologies, and techniques. If you've got a favorite language, framework, library, or practice, pitch it to the team, and we'll explore integrating it into our workflow.

Cerego is interested in engineers who have both engineering proficiency and creativity. We're looking for a front-end engineer who:

• Has experience with a server-side web framework, REST based APIs, and version control
• Feels a sense of ownership and pride over anything he or she builds

As a frontend engineer, you'll be primarily working with:

Your primary responsibilities will be:
• Designing, implementing, and maintaining front-end features
• Expanding the JavaScript-based learning applications to cover new kinds of learning
• Working with the product team to craft the optimal user experience

And you'll be working in:
• A sunlit office in the heart of Shibuya with incredible views of Tokyo and Mt. Fuji on a clear day
• An extremely flexible and friendly working environment

We are a small, dedicated team of passionate individuals who believe in the value of the service we are creating. English proficiency opens many doors in Asia both personally and professionally, and we know our product is that rare product that can actually make a difference in people’s lives.

If you think you're a good fit for our team, please send an email to recruit@cerego.com with a brief introduction, resume, and a few code samples if there are any you'd like to share. Tell us what you're most proud of, what you've accomplished, and why you're interested in Cerego.

The last time I looked at Postgres-XL, it required handling standby data nodes yourself. Has that changed?
Usage of the Backbone JavaScript library more than doubled in the last year
Yup. We had the same problem here in Hamilton. Nobody even cares about the CFL, but the Hamilton Tiger-cats had enough pull to bully the city about where the Pan-Am stadium would be located and how much parking and how big it would be. Again, constantly threatening to leave (when every city they threatened to move to said they weren't actually that interested in paying for a stadium).

At the end of the fiasco, it got located right back into the same depressed residential area as the previous stadium. For like $200 mill. And the new one is smaller. And it wasn't ready in time.
Don't move to Australia then. Software prices are routinely jacked up for us. At least with conversion to the euro, there's a large amount of laziness in it. With Australian software, we're often paying 50% more to double the price. At one stage it was cheaper to buy Photoshop by flying across the Pacific ocean, buying a copy in the US, and flying back to Australia.
To expand on "real binaries" a bit. It's somewhat ironic, but distributing statically compiled binaries for common systems is actually easier than distributing source (or bytecode) for VM-based languages like Python, Ruby, and Java.

Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.)

===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================

We're the single source of truth in logistics data -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and every truck on the ground so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world. We do a lot of analysis and optimization, too.

We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.

The problem -> To try to decrease costs, carries have been increasing the size of container ships. The only problem there is that as container ships get larger, the variability in the global supply chain goes up (e.g. a large ship being late causes a headache to more people than a small one).

How we fix it -> We track every ship on the water and run a bunch of analysis on our data sets so that we can help our customers smooth out the rough edges. (One company we're working with spends 6.5 mil every month on “late fees” because of these rough edges).

===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================

Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR (we’re a SOA shop)

Mobile -> iOS, android in the near term

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================

We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from CPG companies and telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z, atlas)!

Looking for help on frontend and data science sides! (also looking for experimentalists for fun hedge fund stuff)

If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at marc@weft.io!
Mobile IP etc. solve the problem of changing IP addresses, but they don't address the flakiness of mobile connections (esp. when actually mobile). TCP takes some time to come back; having a faster mechanisms is much appreciated when your link loses a few packets twice every minute.
