Spotify, NYC and Stockholm, for...lots of stuff!

- SRE

- Backend Infrastructure

- Machine Learning

- Mobile iOS and Android

- Team lead positions for most of the above

- Lots of things not-mentioned (http://www.spotify.com/se/jobs/)

On the backend, we have an (extremely) service-oriented architecture written primarily in python and java with smatterings of C++ and others thrown in. Storage is Postgres or Cassandra. Messaging is zmq and protobuf and a few other interesting things.

On the frontend, we do hybrid native+CEF for most platforms.

We have (I think, anyway) a pretty interesting approach to how we work, which you can read some more about here: http://de.scribd.com/doc/113617905/Scaling-Agile-Spotify and here: https://hep.cat/d/nrh-how-we-work.pdf

We're looking for experienced developers, no junior roles, sorry.

Apply on the website, but mention HN and get bumped to the top of the resume pile!

Our engineering workflow is collaborative, we do pair-programming on a daily basis.

The team has an enjoyable and collaborative culture, we do pair-programming all the time (yes, even remotely with tmux) We emphasize good communication, great engineerding, automating ALL the things, professional development (get things done for one) and believe that a developer should not only do but also learn, at work, not just in his free time.

We are Major League Soccer Digital, headquartered in NYC. We are a small team of developers who build and maintain Major League Soccer’s web, mobile-web, and content services.

We are hackers and doers. We are dedicated full stack developers who believe in using the right tools to create amazing experiences for our fans.

We have "official" job descriptions below, but we are interested in anyone who has a passion for technology and sports and the technical chops to push our team forward, be that in Dev, Ops, or QA.

Stealth - San Francisco, CA (SOMA) - Full Time

About us: web / mobile - funded stealth, not a X-for-Y startup

Looking for: Engineers (Full-stack / Frontend or Backend) | Mobile (iOS) Developers | Search Engineers | Designers

---

We're a team of engineers and designers (MIT, Cornell, ex-Microsoft/Google/etc) working on technology that helps users access their favorite online services and accomplish tasks in a more usable, efficient, and social manner. Our goal is to make an essential utility that people use everyday.

We're funded by many notable investors (you've definitely heard of them - many are top 25 on AngelList). We haven't announced our product or funding anywhere so we can focus on building.

If you're looking to get into an earlier stage startup (more equity, ownership, ...) that solves complex problems, then come find out what we're up to.

We work mainly with JS (jquery and node.js). Mobile developers should be familiar with iOS/Android. We prefer designers have technical and UX backgrounds.

Curious? Send your portfolio (github, dribbble, resume, etc.) to [my username] at alum.mit.edu.
