Metail (Cambridge, UK) - Senior Graphics Engineer, Senior Frontend Web Engineers, Big Data Engineer - Full time, Contract - On-site only

Metail builds technology to allow people to try on clothes when shopping online. We are a well funded startup and growing to meet our ambition.

At the moment we have several full-time and contract jobs at Metail's engineering offices in the centre of Cambridge, UK:

- Senior Frontend Application Engineer (Frontend Javascript, CoffeeScript, Backbone, Single page web apps) - both permanent and contractors.

- Senior Graphics Software Engineer (3D Visualisation, Direct3D, OpenGL, C++, C#)

- Big Data Engineer (MapReduce, NoSQL, Clojure, Cascalog, AWS) - both permanent and contractors.

We also have an Operations Manger role available in our London office.

You would be joining a highly focussed technical team in a startup that is working with customers around the globe (Latin America, Europe, Far East). We enjoy the technical challenges of our day job and often socialise together in the evening. Cambridge itself is a great place to live and has a large tech community.

Unfortunately we are not in a position to help with visas, so we mostly need great engineers who are already eligible to work in the UK.

If you are interested, you can get more details at http://metail.com/jobs/ or apply by email to jobs+hn15@metail.com.

post #159

A note to companies: PLEASE do not put the word "remote" in your posting if you do not hire remote employees. It makes scanning for companies that do more difficult. People will assume by default that your company is only local. Edit: As suggested below, using "on-site only" is a much more find-friendly phrase.

Oh you mean all the text parsing job sites that just do if "remote" in post.text: post.remote = True I think they should do a better job with it and not force people to write in a certain way.

Thanks for sharing vague thoughts about work other people should do. Without some discipline or structure in the listings, there's no easy way to determine if the post is saying the R-word is allowed or that it's not; there are a a huge number of variations in how the idea is expressed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They should do a better job with their if statements, if anything.

I see what you did there.
