About jason_dstillery

We're hiring engineers!

One of Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC, and one of Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies.

We handle many billions of events per day, we're hooked up to all the big ad exchanges, and we've got a world-class data science team. But we're also still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact. You'll learn a lot.

We write mostly Java. Hadoop, Cassandra, Mongo, and Kafka are big parts of our stack, and we're always looking for new tech that helps us work at scale.

You should feel free to ping me for more info,

jason -at- dstillery -dot- com

or apply to one of our open positions:

Senior Software Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/dstillery/jobs/36447

    Let's say I see 2 qualified candidates a week and they accept our offer at a rate of 20%. To ramp up to a team of 12, I'll had to have seen 60 candidates, which will take 30 weeks.…

    I tried to be careful in my phrasing, which is why I said "broader population of qualified candidates" and not "population at large" or "general population", and "good chance" inst…

    How do you evaluate whether your process is good or bad without looking at the outcome it produces? While I grant that even the best/fairest processes can fail on individual cases,…

    I don't really grok what this means - WebAssembly, .NET, and the JVM are runtimes, how does Rust compiling to them lead to a future that doesn't require a runtime?
