Twilio | San Francisco | Full-time Onsite Sr. Engineer | API Tools

Twilio is a platform that has always put the developer first. This means building APIs that are easy to understand and easy to use. Over time the platform has evolved to provide richer communications capabilities to a broader array of developers across a much broader set of web and mobile devices. The challenge is therefore to make sure that no matter what kind of applications a developer is trying to build that they have the tools they need to easily debug and thoroughly test their integration before pushing to production.

About the job:

As a member of the API Tools team you will build software that runs the gamut from command line interfaces to real-time cloud-based logging services to auto-generated testing simulators. This will require real world experience using 3rd party APIs, a diversity of programming experiences and a strong desire to improve the software engineering experience (prototyping, debugging, testing) for Twilio developers.

Wingspan Technology, Philadelphia Suburbs (Blue Bell/Whitpain), ONSITE

Join the Wingspan eTMF development team, creating a next generation of cloud-based document management solutions for regulated industries. Our web-based client makes heavy use of React.js and Kendo. Our server side is written mostly in Scala, and uses Jersey for RESTful services.

Internally we use Atlassian tools for defect tracking, continuous integration, and code reviews. Engineers involved in tier 3 support typically work with older technologies, but are able to see how real customers use their work.

Center for International Development, Harvard | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE | Full-time

https://github.com/cid-harvard/job-descriptions

* UX Designer * Web and Data Developers * Web Development INTERNS

What we do: We take real world government data and research, and turn them into interactive data viz tools. The Atlas of Economic Complexity is our current online tool that lets you interactively visualize a country’s trade and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. Last year we launched a Mexican Atlas http://complejidad.datos.gob.mx/ which allows users to explore data and understand policy effects at regional and local levels. This year we are launching similar tools in Colombia and Peru.

Our stack: We use python, django, mysql (hopefully postgres soon), elasticsearch, ansible for the back end. For the frontend, it's ember / d3 on the country projects, jquery/d3 on atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ and WebGL with Three.js on some 3d projects that we’ve launched such as globe.cid.harvard.edu/ Everything we do is open source: https://github.com/cid-harvard

Demo of the current atlas: An example of how the atlas is useful take this story here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/21/world/europe/h...

Recently the EU placed sanctions on sales of oil equipment, but not on oil imports. Why could this be? Almost 70% of russia's exports are petrol products: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/all...

And Russia exports the overwhelming majority of its petroleum products to Europe: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho...

The big blue chunk is europe, meaning a sanction would really hurt Russia. However, when you look at who else the EU could buy from, the situation is grim: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/net_export/sho...

There’s practically no one who’s a real political ally that Europe could depend on, save for Norway. It’s interesting how it’s practically impossible to buy oil from a country that’s relatively stable and doing well on the HDI front. It’s worse if you consider the cost of transporting it, and how close Russia is: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/map/net_export/show/all...

Which probably explains why EU hasn't placed sanctions on oil imports from Russia.

Think you could design/build/use this better? We think you can too!

Get in touch:Send us some work you're proud of to greg_shapiro at hks dot harvard dot edu.

  **************
  = What we do =

We're building skynet (except we're focusing 100% on logistics, less so on the murder part) -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and pretty much everything else that moves in the supply chain (all the way down to the container/pallet level) so we can make predictions about what's going to happen!

We help solve problems like the multi-billion dollar asset repositioning problem (people literally ship empty containers to try to meet customer demand) and answer questions like is the port of long beach about to go on strike, is my shipment going to get stuck in customs, and who's the best person to ship with between point A and B?

  *********
  = Notes =

- Clojure, Clojurescript, Python/PySpark

- Cassandra, postgres, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker

- We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team

- We have paying customers across multiple verticals

Our offices are in inner-city Paris, we speak English. We have an awesome international team, and have assisted with visas before.

In our Paris offices we are currently looking for: - Qt/C++ UI Engineers - UX Desginers - Computer Vision Engineers - Video Coding/Streaming Engineers - QA, automated and manual testing - General C++ Engineers for high-performance software

If your profile doesn't fit one of our open positions but you'd like to work in 360 video, apply for "your own role" and let us know how you would like to contribute to our team!

Keywords: C++, Qt, Python, GPGPU (CUDA), Video codecs, RTMP, HLS, SDI, Parallelism, Image processing / Computer vision / Computational photography, QA
