Soundslice - Web UX designer - Chicago, IL

Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/) is "living sheet music." We make web-based, responsive music-notation technology that you can listen to and interact with. The goal is to be the best way to learn any piece of music.

See https://www.soundslice.com/demo for an example. It's one of the coolest HTML5 web apps in the world that's an actual business and not a project. When I originally posted it to HN, it stayed at the top of the homepage for the better part of a day and was universally praised: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4790636

Soundslice is a small (two-person) business -- you'd be the third. It's proudly bootstrapped and makes money. We make money by (1) licensing our technology, (2) selling a subscription service to music teachers and (3) selling interactive sheet music.

We're looking for a UX designer. Somebody who's good at the whole design process -- understanding problems, creating mockups, implementing in HTML/CSS.

WHY WORK HERE:

* You'd work on an amazing product that helps people learn music.

* Design is front-and-center of our product. Much of its value is pure UX.

* Excellent work/life balance.

* You'd work with me (one of the people who created Django, plus some other stuff; see holovaty.com). I'm an experienced developer and can teach you a lot, if you're open to it.

I think that using a manual memory language is fine if that is the engineering decision you want to make.

I'd point out that people can and do use GC'd languages in environments that are dramatically more latency sensitive than RTB. For that matter, in latency sensitive applications allocation/deallocation after startup is a no-no, so GC tends to not be the major reason not to use the JVM (memory layout/unfettered access to system calls/etc tend to drive that decision).
Software Engineers - On-Site, Cardiff, South Wales, UK - Sorenson Media

We're looking to hire multiple Software Engineers for roles which will be mostly writing Javascript, both server side (Node.js) and client side. You do not need any Javascript experience to apply (we've hired many people without it) we find it easier to teach good engineers Javascript then to teach Javascript developers good software engineering skills.

We're hiring developers for our Spark Enhance product: http://www.sorensonmedia.com/spark/enhance/

We work in an Agile environment with daily Scrums, Retrospectives and 2 week sprints (though some teams have been experimenting with Kanban) and a real focus on the Engineering department owning the Engineering processes which means you get to spend your time writing code and have the autonomy to try changes to the processes and see if they work.

We're looking for multiple engineers with a range of experience levels (from recent grads to Senior Developers) so I can't specify specific salaries but I think they tend to be higher than most other Cardiff companies.

If any of this sounds interesting then feel free to contact me at mgrover@sorensonmedia.com with any questions, CVs, github profiles etc.

Thanks - Matt

There's an interesting video by Netflix where they discuss using React in their stack. To increase performance on many of Netflix's TV or Console based UI's they have their own rendering engine they're using instead of the manufacturer's browser engine. This means any of React's "speed" improvements are a moot point so instead they use it because of its simplicity for UI layouts.

But it does nothing to hide that it is a facebook notification or that it is from facebook because the envelope information is still unencrypted. So the 'From' address and subject are still in the clear, which doesn't prevent overbearing parents and abusive spouses from knowing you received a notification - only from reading the contents of that notification.

Actually, so long as you pay minimum wage before folding, there is virtually no chance a state or federal court would pierce the corporate veil and impose personal liability. This has been upheld in both California's supreme court and federal courts. FSLA for example is written broadly enough that a company officer may be considered an employer and personally liable for FLSA violations, but only liable to pay minimum wage, not contractual wages and benefits.

What mswen's employer did would shield them from any personal liability in California and most every other state.

Distilled (www.distilled.net) is hiring in London, New York City (NYC) and Seattle WA - all permanent, full-time roles. I'm the CEO - hit me up by email with any questions (email in profile).

We have a whole host of open positions:
https://www.distilled.net/jobs/

In particular, we would very much like to talk to digital marketing / SEO consultants in any of our cities.

We recently had an all-hands email thread where the whole team discussed what brought them to Distilled, and why they are still here. It got many great replies (including a number talking about how people's friends had typically had 2-3 jobs in the time they'd been with us), but this one stood out:

"A combination of an informal environment, freedom, and high expectations - I wanted a place where I could be myself and grow doing/learning things that I was passionate about, while having lots of smart people around me to collaborate with in doing so. I came from a huge, strictly regimented and siloed company, and was fed up with being told "that's a great idea, but it's not your job", and Distilled seemed to be the polar opposite."

SEEKING WORK - Remote (Colorado Rockies)

Hello there, Yuri here. I’m an independent, full-stack developer whose focus is providing folks like you great return on investment and managing risk: keeping projects lean and agile, clear and documented, and simple and extensible. I believe in flexible plans, sound forecasts, and disciplined execution.

I’ve a bit more than fifteen years seasoning in most every major (and not a few obscure) platform including: Node.js, Ruby on Rails, .NET, J2EE (I know, the cool kids don’t say jay-TWO anymore, but I started with it when it was snowing and uphill both ways), and even Windows DNA. I’ve helped tiny startups and large companies, and even tried bootstrapping a startup or two of my own. I’ve written the business plans, built and trained the teams, designed the architectures, programmed the code, and designed and programmed the test suites.

These days, I work alone and as part of a group as fits each project’s needs each week. When needed, my partners can collectively bring a century of experience designing, developing, and managing complex software and it’s user interfaces. I specialize in back-end APIs, services, and HTML5 web apps and my partners add iOS and Android mobile apps as well as user interface design.

I can work with you remotely from the Colorado Rockies using GitHub, Slack, Trello, Google and Skype Video, and Google Docs; we can also meet near us or you to kick things off and to keep them going.

Whether you want to launch a new product, a one-week prototype, figure out the development budget for your startup, rework a monolithic system into services and clients, or just stabilize a legacy product, get in touch and find out more about me here:

http://sensedata.com/about/us#yuri
I actually laughed out and said out loud "ha! This is so cool". Nice one
startup i was part of was one of these transparent ones. founder told this he is doing for the first time and this is his 4th or may be 6th company (don't remember exactly.) Not sure about employee morale - some stayed, some were hit and left when financial problems came in. But most importantly found told he will never will do it again, because it cause way more stress than keeping everything closed..

So... there might be also personal stress management involved.
Then it seems like this story is more "corporation raids corporation" than "corporation raids academic seed corn".
I don't believe that narrative.

For every $10 million you let remain in the private economy (instead of shifting to academia), you will get the same or more innovation.

IBM, Intel and Google have contributed far more to computer science than academia ever did, and the Internet would have happened either way.

I am (temporarily) in academia, and I can tell you, it truly is a Soviet-style allocation system.

Of course if you throw enough money at something with a ton of smart people you will get breakthroughs, but in general, it is corrupt, crappy, and only marginally honest.

KnowledgeHound (knowledgehound.com) | Boston Engineering Intern

Deploy real-world code to production week one. Develop code and your skills. Spend some time in the sun, working in Boston and Cambridge.

WHAT WE DO: We build KnowledgeHound, a data search and exploration tool, on top of some fantastic technologies. We've got a real product, real revenue from Fortune 500 clients and real investment. We're looking to add some more interns & developers to that mix.

COME WORK FOR US IF:

- You believe that work doesn't need to be all consuming to be productive and fulfilling,

- You are committed to getting better at your craft every single day (tell me how you do it!),

- You want to get your hands dirty in a real code base (sorry, powerpoint doesn't count as work here),

- You thrive on flexibility not micromanagement and

- You've built something real (class or side projects or previous internships are great examples)

WHAT'S THE SUMMER GOING TO BE LIKE? We've got a backlog of new features/bugs, and we're overhauling one of our major systems. We want you to join hands with the rest of our tech team and deliver production code. Just like everyone else, you'll pull a new bug/feature from the queue, work with anyone else necessary (e.g. our world-class designer, Joe) and put together a pull request. I'll be a personal resource and I'm dedicated to learning and to teaching. If you hit a snag or don't know the best way to do something, we'll work on it together.

We are a collaborative team. We count on everyone to think critically, bring ideas for improvements and champion those ideas. In other words, "We do pay you to think." Be a part of designing our product and our business.

WHERE IS THIS PLACE? I'm currently our entire Boston office (there are another half a dozen of us at the home office in Chicago and one on the West coast). On that account, we don't have a permanent office here yet. I'm planning to spend the summer working from co-working spaces, coffee shops, home, and places in the sun. I like to alternate between working surrounded by great people and taking a full day somewhere quiet to knock out some "real work" (writing code). If that sounds better than the cube farm, email me (john@knowledgehound.com).

DocumentCloud | Data Engineer | Remote (we're in -0500 & -0400 UTC) | Full-time

We're hiring a full-time remote dev to focus on our document/data analysis & processing stack.

DocumentCloud is a collaborative tool for analyzing and publishing documents. Journalists have used DocumentCloud in world-changing reporting from the first publicly posted Snowden documents to the Ferguson Grand Jury documents.

We're opening our platform to the public because document analysis isn't just a journalist's problem.

So, your focus with our tech lead (that's me) will be on our document processing capabilities as we implement new ways to extract data from documents, and tighten down the efficiency & scalability of our current tools.

DocumentCloud is a polyglot Rails/Backbone stack, with some processing components written in Java & C++. We do what it takes to turn documents into data, and you're guaranteed to learn a lot on the job!

We write FOSS code that's directly connected to the public good. (We're where Backbone.js & Underscore.js came from & you can check out our other projects here: https://github.com/documentcloud)

Drop us a line at jobs@documentcloud.org

(This is a full-time remote job with excellent benefits & sane expectations of work-life balance.)
> You can't have a view containing the whole form and just re-render that as someone types. If you did, you'd lose the user current focus on every render. This forces you to manipulate parts of the DOM "by hand", something React abstracts for you.

This is not how most modern view engines work. Somehow the React community has convinced the entire JS world that they invented the idea of "only render what has changed" when that's just not the case.
I would not worry one bit. I have successfully competed against multi-billion dollar companies. If you have a better product and are good at marketing there's nothing they can do to stop you. Small startups can move like Neo, while large companies can't get out of their own way.

A poster below mentioned that 50% overhead was taken from his grant. Many of the universities have way too much overhead with many management layers and many of them don't bring in any money but get compensated well. Meanwhile these researchers get below industry standard and a sizable chunk of whatever they bring in is taken from them. The university can do what they want to do but so can the researchers.

The Ksplice group at Oracle develops exciting technology to patch the Linux kernel whilst it is running, eliminating unplanned downtime for systems running Oracle Linux and keeping up-to-date with known security fixes.

We're a distributed team of 12 engineers working to provide rebootless updates for all of our supported kernels, supporting new OS releases and automating our workflow.

We're looking for a systems engineer to help us further eliminate unplanned reboots for Oracle Linux customers. The job role involves enhancing the Ksplice tools and core, analyzing security vulnerabilities, transforming patches into rebootless updates, and building new infrastructure to make security fixes available to customers as soon as possible.

Required skills include:

* Expert level C/C++ programming
* Understanding of security issues and defences in compiled languages
* Strong experience with a modern scripting language, Python preferred
* Strong understanding of Linux systems
* Excellent problem solving and debugging skills
* Experience with the git version control system

More information about Ksplice is available at http://ksplice.oracle.com/ and you can contact me by email at jamie.iles@oracle.com if you have any questions. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.
I was swept away by the React hype a bit. I tried to sell my team on React by stating many of the same points and eventually we decided to stick with our current JS framework: ExtJS. And I'm thankful I was overruled a bit.

For our team and the types of applications we're building ExtJS simply makes much more sense. I've used React now for a simple web app and also a Chrome extension. For certain UIs scenarios like Facebook's ad example, the React method of rerendering everything definitely makes things easier. But in most applications, I think such a complex UI is usually rare and ~80% of the UI screens are usually fairly simple. For the majority of UI screens, React or perhaps React+Flux complicates things by adding unnecessary boilerplate even when using third party Flux implementations.
SEEKING WORK - Silicon Valley or Remote

Principal technical founder of an ad-tech startup, currently undergoing a transition. At present available for contract engagements.

I bring to the table 15+ years of experience in software development, architecture and operations, as well as product management / marketing and business development. An ideal engagement may involve me serving as a "force multiplier" of your existing team - think of the biggest challenges your operation is facing and what kind of problems your staff is not currently equipped to solve. While my particular strength is "connecting the dots" across various disciplines, I am always happy to get my hands dirty to get projects delivered. I've had experience with Silicon Valley companies throughout their entire lifecycle, going back to the original dot-com era.

While I have some level of experience with a very long list of technologies, above all I believe in pragmatic approach to choosing tools to fit the task at hand. The most recent/intimate experience in the current stack has been with delivering scale, performance and fault-tolerance in Big Data operations using the following principal technologies:

- Front-End : Python, Django, JavaScript, Bootstrap

- Backend/IDL : Java, Thrift, Avro, Protobufs

- Data Stores : Hadoop/HBase, Redis, MySQL/PgSQL

- Data Science : Custom-engineered algorithms/solvers with performance way above off-the-shelf packages

Due to the sensitive nature of my current committments, details on my background would only be available to qualified clients able to articulate the specific problems they need help with.
