Booking.com - Amsterdam(Netherlands), Shanghai (China), Seattle, WA (USA), ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

Factr | New York, NY | Python3/ReactJS/AWS

Factr helps international organizations (UN, etc..), teams, and individuals find and share the information they need so they can make better decisions. Right now, the world is changing so fast that nobody knows what's going on (or what's already happened and what one's organization already knows).

Our office is located in Tribeca and we're looking for anybody (2+ years experience) interested in working on an early stage angel-funded platform that's live with customers and using the latest technology. You would be joining a team of 4 onsite (plus 2 remote). Our stack is ReactJS/Python3/Django built on top of AWS/Ansible. I'm a serial startup CTO and you'll definitely learn a ton from being here. There are real leadership growth opportunities for more senior people as well.

We're open to remote work but only for exceptional candidates who already have extensive experience working remotely.

I've seen posters for the Edinburgh DC throughout some of the Amazon offices in Seattle and it looks like you guys are doing cool stuff :). I'm not looking to change teams right now, but I'll probably get in touch sometime in the future since I lived in Scotland for 7 years (Aberdeen) and I'd love to get back someday.

Out of curiosity for myself and others, is there a preference for local candidates over moving US based people over (whether internal or external)?

Gatecoin (http://gatecoin.com) | Hong Kong ONSITE | Multiple Positions | Fulltime | (INTERNS may also be welcome, VISA sponsor)

We're a regulated exchange for bitcoin, ether and other blockchain assets based in Hong Kong, with many projects in our backlog!

We're looking for technical folks to join our growing international team of blockchain technology specialists:

a) Linux DevOps/Security

b) Devs (Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, Mobile soonish via Xamarin)

c) UI/UX Designers/Devs

If you're a DevOps sysadmin with an obsession with reproducible environments (we use RedHat's Ansible with Azure Debian VMs, although we're pretty much CloudProvider agnostic), then this might be you're place. We also hope you're not afraid of functional programming when it comes to developing scripts.

If you're a dev, our stack in the backend is mainly C# with some bits of F#, with a MySQL/Redis storage. In the frontend we use AngularJS (moving to TypeScript).

Get in contact to know more at andres at gatecoin dot com, using the subject "Interested in Gatecoin roles".

We help with sponsorship/relocation to Hong Kong.

Some nice perks we have:

- 10% of "free to tinker" time on crypto currency projects

- 10% of remote work time allowed

- International, friendly work environment (more than 7 different nationalities in one office!).

Want to make a difference in the blockchain space? Join like-minded people and work together to bring about the decentralized financial revolution!

iRobot | Bedford, MA and Pasadena, CA | ONSITE

iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really. Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside of Boston, MA.

We're looking for people to do embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance), cloud, iOS, Android, test, and hardcore robotics as well. Those aren't the same person, mind you. We're also looking for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers.

You do NOT need any robotics experience - I had none when I joined!

Check out our careers site and email me if anything looks interesting: http://www.irobot.com/About-iRobot/Careers.aspx

Please email me at csvec, the at sign, then the company domain.
