Manulife | Software Engineers | Kitchener/Waterloo/Toronto/Montreal | ONSITE | Full-Time

"We're not some old, stuffy insurance company. We're a large company with lots of young talent going through a transformation to be not just a financial company, but a technology company."

Personally, I joined Manulife about a year ago based on the above statement, figuring it would be a good opportunity to be a part of some serious change, and so far, it has lived up to my expectations. I'm currently leading an initiative to utilize GraphQL in new and innovative ways (using schema stitching to mix and match APIs as necessary, and developing proxy layers that can alter and augment data as it passes through).

This is only one of the many things we are working on:

- GraphQL based API infrastructure

- React/Relay UIs

- Kafka/NiFi for back-end data flow

- Cloud Foundry PaaS

Our tech stack? JavaScript/TypeScript, .NET Core, Java, Golang, even some Kotlin. Best tool for the job at hand, really.

Take a look at a couple of our open positions:

The Trade Desk | Full Time, Onsite & Remote | New York NY, San Jose CA, San Francisco CA, Aliso Viejo CA, Ventura CA, Boulder CO, Denver CO, Bellevue WA, London UK, Sydney AUS, Shanghai CN

Hiring: All levels of software engineers, as well as front-end focused developers who are comfortable with data-access design, development and optimization. You might be a great fit for The Trade Desk's dev team if:

You are a full-stack engineer who wants to work everywhere, not just a small subset of components. Experience / interest in working in a variety of layers and technologies within a SOA is a must for our team. This includes: client-side React & Redux, MVC-based web architecture, external RESTful APIs, distributed (and in our case, highly scaled) request handling services, no-SQL and relational SQL databases, many-layered data pipeline (e.g. data bus architecture, Hadoop / MPP data warehouse, etc.) that moves hundreds of thousands of items per second, and data visualization (e.g. Tableau). Experience in all these layers is not strictly required, but we do like to see experience working in more than one, as well as eagerness to work on projects that might slice through them all.

* You have product-driven software development experience using a modern, object-oriented language. Memory-managed languages are best -- .e.g. C#, Java, Python, Ruby, etc. We do most of our work in C#/.Net, but specific experience here is not required.

Cool stuff about TTD:

* Our platform processes 8million+ queries per second

* Work with the best engineering team in AdTech

* The combination of huge data sets, high throughput, low latency and amazing scale means that we're constantly solving some of the biggest challenges in computer science.

* We've grown faster than any other adtech company in the industry, and have been recently recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in America by Inc. Magazine and Deloitte.

* Amazing Company Culture

* Top-tier benefits

If you're interested, please apply directly on our website: https://www.thetradedesk.com/join-us/open-positions

*Note: We are also hiring a NoSQL DBA (Aerospike - remote or onsite), SQL DBA's, entry level Site Reliability Engineers (Boulder CO and Ventura CA), Mid-Senior Level Site Reliability Engineers (all levels - remote or onsite), Business Intelligence Analysts (NYC, Sydney AUS), Integrations Managers (NYC), Sr. Data Scientists (Boulder CO, NYC, London, Ventura CA), Application Support (NYC, Ventura CA).

PayScale | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | Full-time | Onsite

PayScale believes that fact-based and transparent relationships between employers and employees leads to better results for both. We believe this for our products, and we believe this for ourselves.

Why do we believe this? We researched the topic, extensively.

> We discovered that transparent conversations about money can actually mitigate low pay. So, if an employer pays lower than the market average for a position, but communicates clearly about the reasons for the smaller paycheck, 82% of employees we surveyed still felt satisfied with their work.

That's from an HBR article our Chief Product Officer wrote. https://hbr.org/2015/10/most-people-have-no-idea-whether-the...
