I'm employee #2, and I've been here since we were borrowing desks at a local startup incubator. We've grown a lot since then, but we still have a tight-knit, incredibly high-leverage group of engineers. Even after two years, I still love going to the office each morning. I get to work with the smartest folks I've ever met, on software that is going to modernize an industry that's fundamental to the modern world. No team I've ever been on, including at Amazon, has felt like I could have this kind of impact.

We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React-Native for mobile, TypeScript + Node for backend), but we're a lot more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills.

If you're interested in hearing more, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other developers. Help us grow an amazing tech team from a very early point in our company's history!

Technical Questions

Here (http://i.imgur.com/ImdVZBI.png) is a simplified model of the systems used by a fictional online retailer. Their three systems track the flow of an order placed on their website, through their warehouse, and to the point of delivery. Each system uses its own database (MySQL for the shop, PostgreSQL for the warehouse, etc.). The systems communicate to each other via API calls (that are not shown here).

Please review the model and be prepared to discuss it with us. When we talk, we'll ask you how you would answer queries about this fictional business. These will be high-level questions and not deeply technical. We'll also want to hear your opinion of the model, its limitations, and how it could be improved.

1. Write a query to count the number of products across all orders received by the warehouse system today (the PostgreSQL database).

2. Given an order_id, how would you find its last GPS coordinates?

3. What do you think is the most serious problem among these systems, and why? (We are not looking for a specific answer, we want to know what you think is a problem.)

4. Why do you think this fictional company chose Redis for their delivery system, and is it a good choice?

AccuLynx | iOS Software Engineer, Frontend Engineer | Beloit, WI | Full-time, ONSITE (Relocation available)

AccuLynx helps construction contractors manage their whole company. We are expanding our 13 person team and adding an iOS Software Engineer and a Frontend Engineer. We have quite a bit of autonomy throughout our day, lots of input into the direction of the products we build, and get to innovate daily. Great pay, good perks, private offices, great hardware... basically you get to be treated like an adult. It's honestly the best job I've had in years.

Our stack is Swift, ASP.net MVC, C#, AngularJS, Elastic, Redis, and SQL Server. Honestly we don't care what technology stack you are familiar with, we just expect you to have mastered your domain and be willing to learn.

Here is the iOS software engineer position: http://stackoverflow.com/jobs/141243/ios-software-engineer-s...

Our interview process is pretty simple: 1. An engineer reviews your resume. 2. An engineer gives you a call to chat. 3. A couple of engineers talk with you face to face. No bubble sort whiteboard coding bull, just a conversation. 4. A take-home 4-8 hour real-world coding problem. Build something that does these things. It’s not a stupid brain teaser or something requiring special knowledge.
