Distil Networks | SF, DC (Arlington) NC (RDU), Soon-to-be London | ONSITE (with a few exceptions) | We block bots on the internet.

Distil announced $21M of Series B funding yesterday to stop bad bots from scraping content from our customers websites, along with reducing fraud, spam and security issues from automated traffic. Measurements on our global traffic show about 60% of the traffic is from non-humans and that number is growing. We have a global network and actively block traffic based on our bot / human signatures. Our customers love us (and they pay us too!). Our investers love us. I (data scientist, employee 14) am pretty jazzed about working there too.

What we’re looking for:

- Senior Lua Developer - Dive into the guts of NGINX to build the next gen of our bot blocking system.

- Senior Solutions Architect / Solutions Engineer - The nitty-gritty work of getting customers hooked into our network and happy with the performance.

- QA Automation Engineer - Automate all the things! These folks are surprisingly tough to find.

- Front End Engineer - Change the face of what our customers see.

- Senior C/C++ Platform Engineer - Make the bot blocking guts fast.

- Senior Javascript Engineer - We need deep, framework-less, JavaScript experience to build fast bot-fingerprinting systems on the frontend.

- Ruby/Rails Developer - Our customer facing systems are Ruby/Rails and we need more help.

- DevOps Engineer - We run a vast global network and East/West coast engineering teams that need support.

- Web Developer - Someone to work with design and marketing to maintain our web presence.

- We're also hiring sales and marketing.

I'm a data scientist at the company and I'm having a great time working there. If you want more information or want me to push your resume into our hiring stack, contact me: william dot cox at distil networks dot com.

Airtime | New York City, NY | Mobile Engineer (iOS)

We are building really cool things in the real-time video space, and have been quietly experimenting and iterating on a number of projects and technology. We all know that video chat is powerful, but has not been done quite right… yet. This will not be your average iOS app—we are building something beautiful with very powerful video chat and online connectivity under the hood.

We are looking for another iOS developer to help us build the next big thing and change the way people interact with each other. You would sit next to and work with me personally, and I can promise that you will be proud of what you are building.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to email me at: dan@airtime.com
