I certainly didn't but it was more than likely because they are a recruitment company - http://www.allaroundtheworld.fr/who-we-are.html

Spotify's Service Infrastructure (SI) team in New York City is hiring.

We, the SI engineers, are on a mission to act as force multipliers for all Spotify engineers. We build and maintain software components that allow our feature teams to move fast without breaking things. Some examples of what SI engineers are currently working on:

- Core authentication systems for Spotify

- High-performance inter-system messaging software

- Core storage technologies (Cassandra, PostgreSQL)

- Service discovery and orchestration

The NYC-based SI team is just booting up and we're still quite small. New team members can expect to have a significant impact on our projects. Our mission is to revamp how Spotify deploys backend services and while we're currently looking at LXC, nothing is set in stone. As the team grows we'll start to branch off into other areas of the Spotify infrastructure universe. Lots of fun will be had.

If we are the right team for you, and vice versa, then you're probably a bit like us. Here are some of the traits that we share:

- a passion for programming and computing in a large scale distributed environment with millions of users

- significant familiarity with GNU/Linux or other UNIX-like systems

- knowledge of a couple of programming languages, typically including Python or Java

- an urge to KISS, to iterate, to deliver and to produce high quality software in the process

Does this sound like a place for you? If so, please reach out to us. We'd love to get to know you. Send us your CV (if you have one), a link to your hobby project or github and perhaps a short message to further explain who you are. Mention HN and we'll pay extra attention to your application.

Bournemouth, UK. Base are looking for a full-time Midweight Front-end Developer to join our team.

About Base:

We build user-centred digital products and services for businesses, using data they already have. Every business generates data. We help our clients uncover the stories hidden in their data and transform them into something new and valuable. Clients include Timex, Garmin and Nottingham City Transport.

At Base you will be part of a team of makers and doers, working across a variety of projects and clients. We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

We value and support CPD, actively seeking clients with a like-minded desire to push boundaries, providing you with an opportunity to build your experience and skills. We practice a sustainable pace, recognising that we each have lives and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are rare by design.

About the role:

1st class front-end. You will be used to working as part of an unsilo'd production team, where designers work alongside developers, in agile sprints where they're useful. Your main skill set is bringing concept artwork to life, turning designs (as Photoshop & InDesign files) into working HTML/CSS, using JavaScript. You'll be comfortable with canvas, SVG and graphical JavaScript libraries such as D3.js (and may have dabbled with WebGL). You'll be familiar with PHP and have experience with front end development for dynamic content/apps, using JavaScript libraries like Backbone.js, AngularJS or Ember.js.

Visualising Data. You'll have a keen interest in visualising datasets, with a good understanding of what makes information beautiful. You'll know that an infographic is only as good as the moment it was created. Turning great designs into live visualisations showing real data will be something that excites you.

Open all hours. You'll have a keen interest in the way openness in technology (and in particular open data) can change things. And you'll have ideas that mash one set with another, whether you've realised them yet or not. Our developers come up with projects for our clients, rarely the other way round.

Yup, we're a recruitment company (amongst other things). However, we're very specialized. We focus on international IT recruiting where companies are willing to sponsor you for a work permit (or the local equivalent). This is because my wife and I are both serial expats and we believe that people should be able to live anywhere in the world they want (we're not saying it's practical, but it's still our dream).

Thus, since we have a lot of background in this area, I'm moderately well-known in the IT world and I keep getting companies contacting me to help them find people (because of my "how to become an expat" blog http://www.overseas-exile.com/), we decided that we'd create a company to help people live their dreams.

We're proud of the fact that we help people move to other countries. We're particularly happy with one young developer who escaped a violence-filled, high unemployment country. Of course, since we're "just recruiters", we're stereotyped and there's no easy way to shake that, but I'm proud of the work we do.

My first guess is that the downvoter(s) think this is for booking.com...I initially did (but I didn't downvote, because on second look, it isn't clear).

There are a lot of bad stories about working at booking.com...one of those things you don't even know how you know, but you realize it must get brought up a lot for that association (and only that association) to exist with the company.

edit: now I did downvote it for posting a duplicate where a simple list of countries would have sufficed.

London, UK - Microco.sm - Front-end Developer

We want to fix forums. We don't think it should require any technical knowledge to create one, be a member of one, and it should work on mobile, and be accessible, and be a joy to use.

We've built a killer back-end http://microcosm-cc.github.io/ and we're looking for someone to help us build a killer front-end for it.

We've got out first pass done, and it uses Bootstrap 3, a sprinkling of jQuery, some nice HTML forms, all basic stuff. Help us make that great, help us improve the UX, help us make it work everywhere, and help us then iterate faster and improve it.

Contact details in my profile.
