Kirkus Reviews (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/) - Austin, TX

I'm hiring for a DevOps/Backend Support/Developer role at Kirkus. This person would take over day-to-day operations of the infrastructure (ie., monitoring, scaling, backups, security, etc.), help improve our internal tools/reporting, and lend a hand wherever needed. We're a (very) small team, so you'd need to be comfortable taking on a range of tasks and being mostly self-led; and you'll have a better chance of fitting-in if you're interested in books, reading, literacy, etc.

We're using: AWS (EC2/S3/RDS/ELB/CDN/etc.), Ubuntu, Nginx, Django/Python, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, Graphite, Fabric, etc.

Ping me (I'm sure you can find me) or careers@kirkus.com if interested.

Apple - Cupertino, CA We're looking for backend server engineers who really understand distributed systems to be a part of iCloud. Apple keeps small teams that have large responsibilities. If you love owning big pieces, and love distributed systems, you'll really love it here. Everyone here is really passionate about our work, and we hope it shows in the product. There are a lot of openings across iCloud you can sear…

Hey, while I'm not applying, I'm wondering what technology stack iCloud is using. Could you give some details?

The stack varies depending on the application. We're mostly built on top of JVM, and mostly Java. There's a mix of other languages and technologies as well. Our datastores are a mix of SQL and NoSQL, from several different Vendors depending on the application.

Most importantly, there isn't a dogma here. These decisions are fully driven by engineering.

Shopify - Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal http://shopify.com/careers Shopify is looking to grow the team responsible for building the future of Shopify. We’re in search of back-end developers with a passion for solving hard problems with performant code. If you are interested in creating great products, building new features and improving the existing Shopify features, then please apply! Developing Shopify Shopify is th…

What does Shopify use Go for? Are you running Go in production?

Skimming our github:

* Service for taking snapshots of websites (in production)

* noeqd (not our code, but it is in production, and written in Go)

* Webhook delivery service (production later this month)

* Stats server for storefront statistics (in development)

* Some reporting-related service I don't know much about (in development)

* bucket-to-bucket sync tool for S3 (command-line tool)

* Image resizing service (likely to replace our existing service written in ruby next time it bottlenecks)

We don't currently have a ton of deployed Go infrastructure, but a lot of new development is happening in Go. We've hit a point in our growth where it makes sense to start thinking about fast services rather than throwing more job servers at the problem, so a few things are being extracted to new Go services here and there. We intend to continue along this line, using Go where we'd like more performance (concurrency) than we can trivially get out of ruby, or if it feels like it fits the problem domain.

San Francisco, CA - Full-time - Early-stage (0.5-2+% equity)

Vurb, a Max Levchin funded startup - featured on TechCrunch this year - http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/20/contextual-content-engine-v...

Our mission is to change the way people search and interact with online services, by connecting them together in a way that's more more usable, efficient, and social (e.g., no more having ten tabs open to assemble the information you need). We do this through unique UX/UI combined with search, machine learning, big data, and other fun technologies.

We're looking for people who are interested in:

* Mobile (iOS, Objective-C) - leading our development of native apps on iPhone and Android

* JavaScript (node.js, backbone.js) - generalist / full-stack development

* Search / Data Scientist - classification algorithms, search, machine learning, NLP

We're still in stealth but raised funding from Max Levchin, Drew Houston (Dropbox), Naval Ravikant (AngelList), Michael Arrington (CrunchFund), and many others.

We're all engineers (MIT, Cornell, Microsoft, Zynga...) If you're looking to get into an earlier stage startup that solves complex problems and is making something people will use daily, then come find out what we're up to.
