Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2017)

At Longshot Systems Ltd we're a small startup building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. Having developed a lot of our core platform infrastructure we are looking to begin expanding our trading strategy research activity and core infrastructure management. We have an office dog, Minos. He's a beagle and rather cheeky. We can send you a pic if you need it to help in your decision making process.

You'd be working closely with the CTO and the development team to support our production & development trading infrastructure, develop new infrastructure and detect, diagnose and help solve performance issues in applications, networks and operating systems. You should be happy wading through tonnes of metrics, packet dumps and logs to find and solve issues. This role combines SRE, sysadmin, devops and security. We're a small team (6 currently) and you'd be responsible for the entire production and development infrastructure. Unfortunately we can't support visa applications at this time.

Our Tech Stack: C#, Java, .NET core, Docker, Linux, Javascript, React, Mongo, SQL Server, Kafka, Spark

Who we are: LendingTree, Inc. empowers consumers with information, tools, advice, products and services for critical transactions and financial decisions in their lives.

Specifically - We're looking for:

Dev-ops Engineers: We are in the midst of migrating our primary infrastructure to Kubernetes, .NET core, docker, linux, mongo, kafka, and other cutting edge technologies. We're looking for serious dev-ops engineers to join our team.

Back-end Engineers: You're a crack-shot in your back-end language of choice. Our system matches users with hundreds of possible opportunities in real-time. Needless to say, we're looking for people who care about performance. A lot. Our back-end systems are written in C#, Java, Redis, Mongo, and SQLServer. You might know C# or Java or you might not, but either way you're willing to learn. Regardless, you can impress us in your language of choice. If you're a Senior Engineer - you've worked in server-side code for a few years. You've scaled to thousands or maybe millions of users. If you're a Junior engineer, you love to code and you're good at it. You're smart, you're passionate, and most of all you can't wait to get started. (New grads please apply!)

QA Engineers: We're writing software - and fast. We running hundreds of tests on every check-in and we need more. TestNG, Selenium, and testing intuition guides our tests. If you love making sure things are working right - email us !

Front-end Engineers: You know Javascript. You know the ins, the outs and how to make it blazing fast. You care about performance because you know your users are waiting for every line of your code. You've used some popular frameworks, maybe angular or react - but you know one or more cold.

Where we are:

Charlotte, NC: If you're into great weather and a central location (our airport is an American hub) you should check us out. You can pick great urban living (Uptown's 4th ward is the place to be) or get yourself a huge house (at reasonable prices) in the burbs. The standard of living for an engineer doesn't get any better than this.

Roku has lots of positions open right now, but this is my own group so I'm posting this one.

We've got a growing development office here in Austin focusing on the Roku TV product line. These are TVs made by our partners that have the whole software experience driven by Roku OS. Our group works on the whole system, including SoC and board bring-up, implementing TV-specific features (think tuners and HDMI sourcing and CEC and picture quality tuning), implementing streaming media technology and graphics, and working on optimizing the manufacturing and setup flow. We primarily work in fairly modern C++ with some ARM/MIPS/8051 assembly and some higher-level scripting. Experience with the TV technology stack and with embedded Linux for consumer electronics are big plusses, as well as experience building and working with secure systems.

We're also always looking for great QA engineers at all of our locations; we try to keep a fairly high ratio between dev and QA and work closely with them through our development process.

Our main company dev team is in Los Gatos, CA, and we've also got a big group in Cambridge, England and a smaller team in Shanghai, China that focuses on working with our factory partners.

https://www.roku.com/about/jobs/ has all of our job listings, including non-technical ones.

Please email a cover letter and resume to jobs@verbasoftware.com . Our process is: 1 hour culture and technical phone screen -> 4 hour on-site interview -> hire.

Thanks!
