Revfluence (https://www.revfluence.com/) is a profitable, Series A funded enterprise SaaS platform that helps companies create high quality branded content by finding, connecting and coordinating with thousands of talented content creators and influencers. Our platform aims to solve a greater challenge beyond influencer marketing with a novel, data-driven approach to making the process of collaborating with photographers, videographers, influencers and other content creators more seamless and scalable than ever before, while also providing the infrastructure to constantly learn and recommend the right piece of content to the right person through the right channel.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast growing startup with ambitious goals to make it possible for talented creators to earn a living doing what they love. We're a well-funded, 40+ person company but our core team of engineers is still quite small and looking to grow quickly, which means you can have the opportunity to take on ownership and make a big impact!

We’re looking for engineers with the ability and desire to build a great product who aren’t afraid of learning new technologies. Our current tech stack includes Python, Google App Engine, Django, Postgres, and ReactJS + Typescript (currently migrating from AngularJS). Check out some of our job postings for more details!

Truss | Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer | San Francisco or REMOTE | https://truss.works

Particularly interested in Ruby/React and Javascript/React at this time.

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors, and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government, and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about: * Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing * The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy * Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools * Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc. * Experience deploying at least one application that other people use * Have held at least one engineering position post-education * Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

Check us out at: https://truss.works/ and apply at: https://truss.works/jobs/

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, Erlang (being replaced with C++) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

  * [Senior] Front-end Engineer - React; London & LA
  * Data Engineer; London
  * Senior Backend Engineer; London
  * Low-Latency C++ Engineer; London
  * Generalist Software Engineer; London & LA
  * Senior Security Engineer; London
  * [Senior] Mobile Developer; LA

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ .
