BrandVerity |Seattle, WA| Full-time Onsite Python Developers

At BrandVerity we think big and we don't cut corners. The internet is full of bad guys trying to trick unsuspecting users and make a quick buck. Our mission is simple: Clean up the internet. We're a small company and the only way we can deliver on this mission is if everyone we hire is talented, passionate, and committed to doing things the right way.

We do a lot of web crawling to trace the flow of web traffic, or identify places where their brand is being used incorrectly or inappropriately in specific offers, free form text, or even images. Directing a crawl against big chunks of the web and filtering the results to find the needle in the internet haystack has many challenges, and certainly puts our core work in the "Big Data" realm.

We're looking for an experienced engineer who is a strong individual contributor but also wants to share their experience with some extremely capable but more junior team members. We’re very collaborative, and our engineers are some of the best communicating people around, because we appreciate that even if you can solve a problem well, being able to communicate about it is just as important. The strong developer we’re seeking will have the foundations to easily adapt to a new stack, so we’re not looking for specific skill buzzwords. Experience with Python, AWS, and non-relational data storage would help you ramp up faster, but we’re willing to invest the time if you come with the right stuff but not the same stack.

If this sounds worth having a conversation about, please drop us a line at jobs@brandverity.com
Gas turbines are not that expensive in capital. Instead they cost a lot to run, since they use gas that's much more expensive than coal. (Nevermind Uranium or wind or the sun.)

A big part of US climate strategy seems to be to install a lot of wind and solar power and fill the rest with natural gas, phasing out coal. Keep the nukes that are there. That's possible since in the USA, natural gas is cheaper than in many other places.
When I was young the paramount thing to consider when picking a language making something cool that my friends/parents/anyone could play with. I could easily share little text adventure games and it was cool enough that I actually got other people to play them.. same thing with TI-85 programs. For this reason I wonder if Ruby will really get kids excited to program but I'm not sure (like you) what the alternative is.
i would expect that an older person with more battle tested experience ought to fair better tbh, so i don't get it with the agism. Unless the position is meant for a high strung startup where you're expected to basically live there, with no dependents to look after etc.

Lack of certain kind of stimulation can cause that. After 15 years of trying to play music I "tangibly" perceive harmonies I didn't even knew were there before.

Also had a similar shocking sudden brain change in october 2013.

I wish I had an MRI on my head during that month.

FreeAgent, Edinburgh or REMOTE (UK)

http://www.freeagent.com

We're looking for a senior software engineer and an engineering manager to come and work on our flagship product FreeAgent. We're a growing team of 85, based in Edinburgh but with remote staff around the UK (7 engineers are fully remote).

We have a lot of happy customers (40,000+, NPS=76!), a lot of traffic (13 million+ page views/mo), and some lovely staff to work alongside, learn from and have fun with. We invest a lot of time in our platform (code health, scalability, security) as well as working on new features, which is nice.

Our engineers tend to be full stack, but we’re seeing people move towards more specialist work these days, such as front-end programming (we're doing a lot of React.js, primarily on our iOS app), our real-time accounting engine, data science. People play to their strengths really. Our stack is intentionally straightforward. It's sensible and sustainable. Javascript aside, we mainly write Ruby alongside MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Puppet.

We are looking for UK-based full-time staff only right now.

I'd say, it's opposite of (2). I keep reading horror stories about multi-day interviews with "take home tests" and other insanity, here on HN - and these are usually traits of the interviewing processes of newly minted startups. I had a bunch of interviews with "regular" companies on the East Coast and the process is way more sane and much less grueling.

My advice to the OP would be to find and get in touch some of the older recruiting companies, the ones that exist more than 10 years on the market, and work with them. Steer clear from the startup scene. Normal companies still need the job to be done - why not by you?
SnapDocs | Full Time | San Francisco, CA | Remote-to-hire OK

Competitive salary, benefits, and generous options.

The ideal candidate is someone who plans to become a lead engineer (or perhaps a product manager) in the not too distant future.

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We are bringing security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Rapid feature iteration? Oh, yeah! We do SaaS for non-technical users. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy, and that feels great. However, in this industry, most people are unaware of what modern software is capable of. That means we must do research, gather data and talk to customers to inform each of our choices.

Snapdocs's culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

Required Skills

Ideally, you're a fullstack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and are proud of) your strengths.

Being the 4th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

Knowledge of AWS would be excellent.

UX experience (or interest in cultivating it) would be excellent.

Document classification experience (OCR, etc.) would be a plus.

Send an email to jobs@snapdocs.com telling us about yourself. Please include a resume and a link to github if your profile is informative.
Interesting, but it seems like a lot of the lifestyle choices are just pushing the carbon/climate impact to someone else where the author doesn't have to think about it.

Getting custom clothes made in china and shipped frequently is certainly far less environmentally friendly than simply re-using the clothes you already have.

Taking an uber still burns gasoline. A bike would be better.
Pathgather | Front-End Engineer & Back-End/API Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE preferred, REMOTE maybe | pathgather.com

Pathgather is a Techstars NYC startup building an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems forced on employees - is one you'll actually enjoy using. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all large companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern/relevant content.

One way we're doing that is through one of the more engaging and attractive interfaces in the enterprise market today, paired with an extreme focus on the end user (the employee). Past learning systems have focused heavily on compliance, providing tools to administrators to force and require learning. We want to inspire learning, not require it.

And even though we’re still pretty small (8 full-time members) and young (just been launched for a bit over a year), companies are starting to take notice. We’re working with some pretty notable customers, including Walmart, Qualcomm, and Twitter.

We’re looking to add a member on both the front-end team (Javascript/Coffeescript, Angular, Sass, Haml, Browserify, Grunt) and back-end (Ruby/Rails, Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch). For the front-end, you'd do everything from helping define the UI/UX for new feature releases to actual feature implementation in the usual front-end technologies (Javascript, CSS, HTML, etc). For the back-end, we’re looking for an API expert, someone who can come in and our own suite of APIs (both internal and external).

To apply, please email me at jamie@pathgather.com. We have a great work environment in our Union Square office and would love for you to be a part! You can also see more about us and what we offer at https://angel.co/pathgather/jobs and https://careers.stackoverflow.com/company/pathgather
The Most Dangerous Word I Know
>I'd posit the only measure of correctness for language is the ability of being understood, even before the use.

The ability to be understood is directly tied to use. If you use nonstandard constructions, fewer people will understand you. Less people understand USian than American precisely because it's not in common use.

>but limited usage is a small reason to consider something "wrong".

No, most linguists consider lack of use pretty much the only reason to consider something "wrong". When something is used enough to be in common use is a bit arbitrary, but USian has definitely not met that standard. You might as well start using USican or USperson.

Beyond being very uncommon, it's also distracting even to people who do understand it. The capitalization is non-standard, and it's difficult to pronounce.

The purpose of writing is to effectively communicate, and unless your goal is to purposely pull people out of the flow of your writing, it's not a good idea to use it.

That's a pretty neat hack, but I can't think of a worse language for shader programming than javascript :-) Dynamic typing and closures are useful in some domains... but I wouldn't want to run that sort of logic per-pixel on a display with 14 million pixels. Plus declaring the types ahead of time is really important. (highp vs. lowp, type sizes, etc.)

I can corroborate this, though more from the LinkedIn side of things. Out of every twenty LinkedIn messages I get, probably six are SF, four are Boston (I'm local), two each are NYC and DC, and two or three are between DFW and Austin.

(The last couple are usually Idaho or Nebraska or one of the other corporate-fief states.)

Hence the reason I said "web and mobile development-centric" in the post that started this sub-thread.

I'm actually writing a UI in Angular right now or a Java-based system I wrote. I hate it. It is a pain I'm going through because I need a UI for this prototype, but there is no way I would want to do this full-time.
As a data point: I skimmed the article once, clicked no links, and will likely never go to that site again in the next month. Browser caching won't help me.

Underdog.io | New York, New York | https://underdog.io | Full-Time

We’re looking to hire a full-stack engineer (engineer #3/employee #6).

Today, Underdog.io is a curated marketplace for talent. We connect amazing people with founders and hiring managers at top startups.

We don’t charge placement fees because we’re not recruiters. We’re building technology to reduce the noise of the job search and match. We started Underdog.io because we experienced the pains associated with (1) hiring while working at top startups and (2) looking for new opportunities.

Our platform is currently live in SF and NYC, where we work with 170 awesome startups. We’ve had to turn away one of every two companies that have tried to join the network.

As we scale, we’ll focus on building tools for candidates to organize, search, and discover new job opportunities. In our view of the future, job candidates don’t receive unsolicited outreach from recruiters and companies don’t pay placement fees for the vast majority of their hires. Job search is organized and talented candidates have more high-quality options.

We use Python/Flask, Javascript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3. We're also working on a project in Ruby/Sinatra. And we're big supporters of open source. Our Github: https://github.com/underdogio

Here's a post that covers a recent engineering challenge we overcame: http://blog.underdog.io/post/119558043297/scaling-underdog-t...

People are wondering what the advantage of this is. It's worth noting that Autodesk have not updated their Scaleform plugin to work with Unity 5. I was pretty annoyed, and it seems like this could be the reason why.

Unity's UI got better recently (in 4.6+), but Scaleform is still leaps-and-bounds above almost anything on the market.

That, combined with Autodesk Navigation - another very powerful tool they previously charged a lot of money for (pricing for that was even on-demand only), means there's genuine reason to consider this.

The obvious downsides are the lack of free access/assets that you get with Unity, that Unity/Unreal have huge communities and years of YouTube tutorials. But that might come in time.

Perhaps the claims about performance and ease are exaggerated, but maybe they're not. I've worked with Unity for a while, and it certainly isn't perfect. There are some clunky, unintuitive things going on. Don't get me wrong, Unity is a fantastic tool, and our company wouldn't be what it is today without it, but this atleast warrants a look at, for me :)
If they could hire someone if they paid 1 million dollars, it means that the market rate is somewhere between what they are offering and 1 million dollars. Remember "market rate" means what you could actually purchase something in the market for.

If we set aside the possibility of greed on the part of employers, it may mean that they cannot afford to pay market rates i.e. their business model isn't compatible with paying the market rate for the labor they need.
