New York City, NYC NY Justworks - http://www.justworks.com We are building a platform for people to administer every part of their business, starting with payroll, benefits, compliance and tax filing. We've also built out PTO tracking, some reporting/analytics features and a B2B payments feature. We aren't just about payroll.

We are a PEO, which means we coemploy our customers employees (similar to Trinet/Ambrose or ADP Total Source, if you've ever heard of those). Because of that we're able to do a lot of really cool things including offer health insurance at a massive discount, as well as bring many other benefits traditionally reserved for large companies to startups and SMBs. We're growing very quickly (35-40% month over month) and just raised a $6mm series A from Thrive, Index, a few others[1]. Our founders are former Amazon, Etsy and Groupon executives who have had successful startups in the past.

We handle payments and lots of very sensitive information (bank numbers, social security numbers etc.) so we need people who are comfortable working in that environment. Basically we're looking for senior level engineers to help build the foundation for a really awesome engineering org. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions (will@justworks.com). We're also hiring in sales.

Full time in NYC only, no contractors, no remotes, sorry.

Why is the remote work limited to people in PST? If a potential candidate is in Iowa, couldn't the requirement just be "Are you ok working 10am-7pm your time?"

Kensho, Boston, MA (Cambridge), Stamford, CT: FULL TIME Software Engineers

Kensho is a small engineering team[0] headquartered in Harvard Sq. We are making financial analysis more accessible, intuitive and beautiful through our recent partnerships with Goldman Sachs[1] and NBC[2].

Software Engineers

We're hiring fun-loving engineers/developers/programmers at every experience level. We don't have keywords for you--just have done something pretty amazing with technology and undiagnosed impostor syndrome[3]. While we primarily use AngularJS and Python, that is just implementation detail.

How would you handle distributed time series data? How quickly could you process and analyze unstructured news and events to understand the significance of each? When you design, prototype, scale and automate, do you watch out for bridges and hop-ons? You're gonna get some hop-ons [4]

A willingness to play bughouse and shoot zombies is a plus.

tl;dr: nerds please introduce yourselves: http://bit.ly/kenshoeng

CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com Full time software engineers in London. (We will consider relocating exceptional candidates.) Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260 We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to…

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering where you get the National Rail train data from. Is it based on the open data from ATOC/RSP or do you have your own agreement from them?

I ask as I was thinking about writing a lib to parse and use the ATOC 'fares data', and just wanted to know if anyone has had any success with it. The format is well documented but a bit massive (80 page specification), before getting started would be nice to know if the data is actually useful. Their site says it is updated infrequently which made me a bit hesitant, and I don't think I've seen any projects where it's been used. Love your app by the way!

Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.) -- LOCAL ONLY (no remote)

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================
We're the single source of truth in logistics -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and every truck on the ground so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world. We do a lot of analysis and optimization, too. We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.

The problem -> Lots of inefficiencies in the supply chain! One of our customers spends $400mm/year shipping empty containers, another spends $80mm/year on late fees. Lots to optimize!

How we fix it -> We track everything in the supply chain and make predictions and recommendations as to what our customers should do!

   ===========================
   ===== How we do it ========
   ===========================
Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR (we’re a SOA shop)

Mobile -> iOS, android, mobile web

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

   ===========================
   ====== And the rest =======
   ===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from CPG companies and telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z, atlas)!

Looking for:

- Data science folks

- Data engineering folks

- Generalists

- Master front-end devs

- Android devs

If this sounds interesting, please shoot us an email at mike@weft.io!

The Tachyus platform provides rich data visualization and analysis capabilities in the browser using D3 and Kendo UI. We build our front-end applications in JavaScript and are in the process of transitioning parts to TypeScript.

We believe in functional programming and strong typing.

We are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry and very well funded. This job is the most fun and rewarding you will ever have. You will work closely with 3 PhDs, 2 Masters of Science, and 4 Microsoft MVPs. We take our Values statement seriously, so read it first and decide.

Most of the positions are able to telecommute. Check out the list: https://www.simple.com/careers Because we're a bank, we are (alas) only able to hire US citizens.

Hey, I applied via your website a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything. Am I in a queue somewhere?
