Predata | NYC | Full-Time | ONSITE | http://www.predata.com/ | jobs@predata.com | $75K-130K + up to 1% equity Predata builds tools for understanding political risk around the world. Our platform allows strategic decision makers across the federal, financial, and corporate sectors to collect and analyze open-source metadata signals (digital conversations, web traffic) and process them to understand how they relate to…

I reached out to this employer during last month's Who Is Hiring thread. They sent me one email saying they really thought I had a strong background, then another email asking me for times when I would be available to have an interview.

I listed several times in my reply, but then I did not receive any follow-up communication of any kind. No confirmation, no rejection, just no response of any kind.

Hopefully they have addressed and fixed this unprofessionalism in their hiring process, but it is good for others to be aware that it is possible to simply never hear from them after they have asked you for schedule information.

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory | Menlo Park, CA (Onsite)

* tldr: Python and C++ (or Java) developer for public-facing services and APIs in astronomy

Officially, please refer to the HR-mangled job posting: https://chk.tbe.taleo.net/chk01/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?...

Unofficially:

We are part of the Data Management team for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST, lsst.org); an extremely important telescope for astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology. The camera for the telescope is 3.2GP and will be continuously scanning the sky every night.

We're looking for a strong python developer to join our Data Access team, which develops APIs and services to enable access of data for our science partners and the greater astronomy community. This involves developing APIs and services for access to datasets, images, and our in-house developed distributed database which will contains 10s of petabytes of data and grow throughout the tenure of the survey.

Ideal candidates have a background in Physics or CS (preferably both), development in REST APIs, and extremely strong database knowledge. The person can also architect new systems on their own based on abstract requirements (i.e. the initial work will be straightforward, but this probably isn't a position for just-finished-my-PhD). Ideally, you know what it takes to deal with a petabyte of data. This position will be multi-faceted, and the ideal candidate would also be able to switch to development of our distributed database if need be.

Employees of SLAC are also Stanford employees, and receive most of the same benefits. If you also care about working on open-source software, the entire LSST stack is open source (GPL) and, as a DOE employee, you are almost always free to open source all of your work as well (typically BSD).

Razorpay (YC W15) | Bangalore, India | ONSITE | Full Time

We are a young fintech company working on fixing payments in India. We are looking to grow our engineering team to improve the current state. We run using PHP7 and Laravel in Production on AWS. Currently open roles:

* Backend Developer (Both senior as well as fresher candidates are welcome). More details are at https://razorpay.com/jobs/backend

* Data Scientist (https://razorpay.com/jobs/datascientist/)

* Security Engineer (We are looking for someone with a development as well as security experience, preferably web-related)

* Senior Android Developer (https://razorpay.com/jobs/android)

Even other than these, we are always open to hiring smart and talented engineers. If you are someone who places equal emphasis on writing correct code and shipping things, we might be the right place for you.

Interview Process: We will never ask you to write a Binary Search Tree during an interview. We typically do a phone screen followed by an optional coding-assignment (take home). The onsite-interview process is around 4 hours including a lunch and 3 interviews; 2 of these are usually hands-on coding rounds where we let you code on restricted real-world problem (in a language and editor of your choice). The entire process takes around a week from the date of application.

We also do a lot of open source stuff. Look us up on GitHub: http://github.com/razorpay

Amazon New Product Demand Forecasting | Seattle | Full-Time | On-Site ($160-$250+ depending on experience)

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales on new products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting that requires our models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon. Our team works closely with top research scientists to invent new ways to make use of novel data, solves hard engineering problems in machine learning around scaling and performance in predicting for tens of millions of products, and is endlessly focused on iterating quickly and failing fast to stay on the cutting edge.

In a field that's in constant renaissance, we're looking for a senior software development engineer who loves data, thinks analytically, and is prepared to design architecture that will provide a stable base for the next 3-5 years of evolution. If you have 5+ years of experience in software development, with experience in ML or big data applications, and want to learn more about a team just getting started in mining the vast datasets of Amazon -- I'd love to chat or buy you coffee. Email smai@ (amazon.com) with your resume and a brief introduction.

(Interview process is 1 phone screen and onsite interview with whiteboard coding and behavioral questions about your experience.)

Senior Software Engineer | FMG Suite | Full-time employee | (Minneapolis/Duluth) Minnesota or Wisconsin

We are a small dev team that works mostly remote, tries to be agile and try to be a good place to work. We are a self-funded SaaS company for a niche industry and a lot of growth. We work mostly from home, but try to get together monthly or so when we can. We run ASP.NET, C#, and everything is on AWS.

You should be able to work by yourself, but have very good communication (big deal for remote teams). Full stack experience is a must.

We don't have a job posting page up yet, but reply to the posting with an email and we'll talk.
