Zelos.gg (YC W20) | Los Angeles | Frontend / Fullstack | https://zelos.gg

Zelos is a rewards program where gamers earn points and redeem in-game prizes across multiple games. When you play your favorite game, simply finish a challenge (e.g. get 3 kills) to earn points and trade in your points for a prize (e.g. a new game or a skin).

We built Zelos because games today focus on monetizing off their most dedicated players (whales). For gamers like us who play multiple games, spending money in each game quickly becomes expensive. When we move to a new game, all the money we spent in the old game is effectively lost.

So we built Zelos for the 55% of gamers who play 2 or more games and they LOVE us. Having launched only 2 months ago, we already have 50K+ weekly active users across 30+ countries.

Zelos graduated from YC W20 and just closed a heavily oversubscribed seed round. We are only a team of 3 and you will be our first frontend/fullstack hire. As such, you can expect great responsibilities, huge opportunities to learn & grow, and of course significant equity.

Being a gaming company, we have a very laid-back and open culture where people care about having fun as much as doing great work. You would be a great fit here if you enjoy playing games and building things.

If you are interested, please email us directly at founders@zelos.gg and tell us more about yourself.

United States Digital Service | Senior Product Managers, Senior Designers, Senior Software Engineers, Senior Site Reliability Engineers, and more! | Washington, DC | ONSITE https://www.usds.gov/ We're looking for the most tenacious designers, software engineers, product managers, and more, who are committed to untangling, rewiring, and redesigning critical government services. You'll join a team of the most talented…

Just to give some examples of the sort of work we're doing recently, we've been assisting the CDC with user research to improve their pages about COVID-19, we've worked with the SBA on their disaster loan assistance program, and we've built tools to provide more granular data to the coronavirus task force, not to mention the USDS folks working at specific agencies like Veterans Affairs to help ramp up capacity. There…

What are the contracting opportunities? My company is DC based and have been doing similar scalability work for high traffic state and local websites in the past two weeks and we have been quite busy (as state and local sites could also use help with scalability).

We're on SAM.gov, if that matters. I can imagine it's all hands on deck everywhere.

Either way, good luck! I've always admired what your group (and DDS) does. I almost joined DDS a couple of years ago.

At Offchain Labs, we’re building a platform to unlock the full potential of smart contracts, making them private, affordable, and easy for developers. Our working prototype of Arbitrum runs on top of Ethereum and interoperates with native Ethereum contracts and tokens.

We make smart contracts easier to develop at scale, with production level security. Our developer tools do the heavy lifting to add a flexible second layer to decentralized application architecture so our clients can focus on business logic and user experience.

We're looking for Senior Software Engineers that are excited to learn and develop blockchain technology and possess production experience with Backend Engineering (C/C++, Go, or Rust). Experience with compiler construction and architecture, and security engineering on large-scale systems is a plus.

Blossom Capital | London | Software Engineer in Venture Capital

We back Europe's top startups at Series A (including YC almumi Duffel, Fat Llama and Sqreen) and building technology is a core part of how we operate, from sourcing deals through to automating due diligence.

Roughly a third of the companies we invest in are sourced through our technology platform and we're looking to hire someone who will help take it to the next level.

Our current stack is Python + Postgres based, but beyond engineering skills we're looking for someone who'll enjoy spending time with the investment team really understanding what we look for investments and thinking about how to translate that into technology!

If that sounds interesting drop me a line at imran@blossomcap.com

Is remote work never coming back? I'd love to work at USDS, but I can't relocate to DC.
