SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Location: Rochester, NY
Remote: OK
Start date: 07/2015

We are looking for an experienced back-end developer to help us design and implement the server-side solution for a quantified-self web application.

The major goals of the app (to be completed by the developer) are as follows:

- Design and implement (in collaboration with front-end developers) an API for data communication.
- Receive data from the device and store on the server.
- Run data analysis scripts (written in Python) on the received data and save the results in a database (MongoDB). The Python scripts are written by the data analysts and will be provided.
- Add transaction logging capability to the server.
- Help us decide on the best strategy for log data analysis.

Qualifications:
- Proven track record of web app development and delivering results reliably.
- We would prefer to do the development using Python web frameworks (Django or Flask), but this is not a firm requirement.
- Experience with SQL and MongoDB.
- Provide progress updates and results on a regular basis.

This work is an ongoing collaboration between Rochester Institute of Technology and industry on a quantified-self device and provides a very good opportunity to expand your portfolio.

If interested, email mxheen@rit.edu with your Github account, a short explanation of why you're interested and any links to previous relevant experience.
Show HN: tj/co with PHP
While this company sounds like it is just trying to check a box, I am curious what good ways there are to ask this? I believe some number of (most?) companies may need a female/black/etc... perspective to understand their customers better.

This leaves you in the position where you are looking to hire based on gender/race/etc...

Any ideas on how to do that? Perhaps saying that you value their non-work experience?
Tnx, I'd love to see how this experiment evolves. Feel free to submit your pitch.

Introducing the Antipode
Software Engineers - Gametime - San Francisco, CA

Gametime connects communities through frictionless and beautiful mobile applications. We believe communities get closer when people get off the couch and have fun at a live event. Backed by Accel Partners as well as team owners Jeff Mallett (Giants / Whitecaps / Derby FC), Vivek Ranadive (Kings), and David Blitzer (76ers / Devils) we've raised $13mm (including $8mm in May of 2015).

Built for iOS and Android, Gametime makes getting into the game as amazing as being there. Inside gametime.co/app we provide high-res panoramic photos from every section, curated listings as we decrease a universe of 5000 options to the 50 best with ultra fast two-tap checkout and no printing . With our mobile-only approach, we've reduced a 30-minute process to 30 seconds. This approach has led to fast (600% annual) and viral (92% of new purchasers hear about the app from friends) growth.

New Gametimers join for the community of high-performers (known as the Gameteam). New employees also love the environment as we aspire to build the best place to work in SF ...

We offer market rate salary (even though we’re small) and real equity (meaning you come out way ahead). Everyone here does meaningful work. You won't end up on the "login button team" here, you will be a big part of the most important conversations on the engineering team. There’s free catered lunch Monday through Friday! Who said there was no such thing? We offer Blue Cross / Blue Shield via Zenefits and dental insurance. We also have monthly $75 cell phone reimbursement and $80 commuter benefit. We love going to games and we're right by AT&T Park so (if you're into it) you'll hit a bunch of them with us. Go Giants!

In summary, we're fast, well-funded and growing quickly. It's an exciting time to join the Gameteam.

I agree here - this puts pressure on the company to make sure their drivers are (1) more efficient (2) make more $$ and (3) stick around for a while which then goes back to (1) more efficient, and generates a cycle of improvement that benefits everyone. Of course this requires the company to make an upfront investment, but exactly as you said human capital is an asset, not a cost, so IMO it's a solid investment to make.

The alternative is the current uber-model which is:

(1) Focus on bringing as many people in as quickly as possible (2) try to pay them as little as possible as soon as you can which results in (3) high churn (probably disproportionately churns out the higher-quality folks who won't work for so little) and then leads you back to (1). This results in low quality and high recruitment costs and depletion of the labor pool. Uber did reach a solid state in most markets, but I would argue that they could have spent less on recruiting and retained a higher quality fleet for similar long-term costs, with the added benefit of not looking like a-holes for the past couple years.
Yes, because David Cameron can ban math.

Lol.
I think it would be fun to be the type of person who throws startup-centric, hail-mary passes with my career, but now that I've actually gotten myself onto a track that I love, I've very quickly turned into the quarterback calling the end-around and screen-pass every play. I might win less, but I'm less likely to screw something up too badly.
I think they really can't be. Else you get WoW where 90% of the population has something that's within 2% of the best gear available after 3 months.
Did you at least let them know you saw this in the executive summary?

I'd reply "sure, I'll be your token female for 25% of the company and {10x normal salary}. Let's do this."

If they're going to be that stupid, maybe they'll accept those terms.

[Front Row Education (San Francisco, CA) www.frontrowed.com]

Foundational Systems Engineer with DevOps focus to join fast-growing education startup that changes how over a million young students learn math.

Our mission is important to us, and we want it to be important to you as well: over a million K-8 students learn math using Front Row every month. Our early results show students improve twice as much while using Front Row than their peers who aren’t using the program.

You’ll be one of the first engineers on the team, which means you’ll have an immense impact on our company, product, and culture; you’ll have a ton of autonomy and responsibility; you’ll have equity to match the weight of this role. If you're looking for an opportunity to both grow and do meaningful work, surrounded and supported by like-minded professionals, this is THE place for you.

Front Row is one of the very few organizations in the world that use Haskell in production for most of their systems and is an active member of the Haskell community, including the Commercial Haskell Special Interest Group.

- Be able to work quickly and without handholding or supervision. You will have great autonomy. We're a small team and everybody easily pulls twice their weight

- You're morbidly well-organized, love documenting and obsess over continuously improving existing processes

- Relentlessly automate ALL the things: this is not a sysadmin position, this is developer position that removes the need for most system administration

- You're not religious about any technologies, tools or approaches: the landscape of devops changes every day, new tools emerge, new techniques become trendy. A great devops engineer stays up to date with the emergent technologies, but is committed to using the right tool for the job, whether that's an allen wrench or an immutable cluster

- You must care about being great at what you do. Front Row engineers are craftsmen who take pride in their work

- Must thrive on both technical breadth and depth. As a Front Row Systems Engineer, you will be taking care of setting up, maintaining and scaling a wide variety critical supporting infrastructure that makes running our applications possible and pleasant

- Experience working with cloud APIs, configuration management, deployment

- Experience running, maintaining and scaling RDBMS - we're heavy Postgres users and deal with a lot of critical data

- You love sharing your knowledge and teaching others about systems engineering and devops. Front Row has a very active culture of sharing of knowledge and best practices. As our first Systems Engineer, you will be setting much of the technical culture for the organization.

Hey brasetvik, what can I do to make my application stand out? I was excited to see that Elastic was hiring in an area of interest to me, so I threw my hat into the ring. I worry that I'm going to get dropped into a large pile and skimmed over- is there anything proactive I can do to prevent this?

Every part of this feels like a terrible idea, and, if anything, stands more of a chance of plausibly associating someone to the very activity which they are trying to (literally) distance themselves from.

"It wasn't me, I was miles away" - "Yes, and we know that you possess a long-range aerial, and have bought these parts online, and we have CCTV recordings of someone who looks roughly like you, entering this building and placing your equipment therein. Guilty."
Heh, it hasn't been quite 15 years for me yet, but it's definitely something on my mind. The only thing making me feel better is that the last few job hops have been from being recruited, not the other way around, so people must not mind TOO much yet.

Yes. A friend is at a company that went from a monolith to a microservices approach. (The service-to-engineer ratio is something like 1:2.) He says it's radically better because somebody after a new feature can mainly just compose existing services. But they had hundreds of employees before they made the switch.

Personally, I would start sooner than that. I think new technologies make service creation easier. But the right moment for me depends a lot on product, team, and tech.

Hey thanks for dropping by a great advice :) I understand the need for a strong structure, but don't you think depending upon the type of person you are you end up prioritizing one thing over the other ? For eg., You sit for a 30 minute reading time and you get a call from your friend with whom you hadn't spoken in a while.

This might look like a one off scenario but in a day-to-day scenario these kinda interruptions and other distractions are unavoidable and they seem to quickly pile up. When you want to engage intellectually, sometimes you need a quiet space with least distractions.

In spite of all these, some people are supercharged and they do seem to accomplish everything they want to ( intentionality converting into actions ). I want to move into that zone.

But hey, i got your point and i will seriously consider your points and thanks for a great post :)

SQL support has always been "coming." It's been on their Trello roadmap for more than a year. The specific messaging in this post is that the new version of Meteor is coming late this summer, will not include SQL support, but that SQL support is something on their radar for the future (late in the year? next year?)

That bit is not news or anything new.
Is PHP used anywhere except Zend and facebook? All this time I have heard of x web framework for Go, Python, Rust, Racket what not, I rarely have heard about PHP apart from the what's going to be new in PHP 7 few months back.

> Funny to think I can still vividly remember this 18-19 years later but can hardly remember the plot of many of the recent AAA titles.

Might also be age related ;).

Joke aside, I recently spent some time partially replaying the two games I most vividly remember (Baldurs Gate II, FF7 PC version), and it's by far not as memorable now as it was back then. And I haven't played at all the last 12-15 years, so it's not that I got used to different types of games.
That's actually sad and reminds me of the histories about Rapa Nui.
