– Infrastructure improvements to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]

We're especially looking for mobile and ops engineers, but we have a handful of other positions open. Unfortunately, we've filled up our slots for this coming summer internship, but we'd happily talk to intern candidates for future terms.

Box - San Francisco and Palo Alto, CA - Full time - Frontend & full stack engineers

Crocodoc (YC W10) founder here. When our company was acquired by Box in 2013, we launched a new set of developer APIs on the Box platform for anyone (even those who don't use Box itself) to use for converting documents to HTML. We're now powering apps from LinkedIn to CoTap to the newest version of WebEx.

We've also open-sourced one of our biggest projects (https://github.com/box/viewer.js) and are expanding into developer experience as well.

We're looking for frontend and full stack engineers to join our close-knit team and help us push the limit of what browsers and mobile devices can do. (Fast, pixel-perfect rendering of documents using just HTML, SVG, and CSS turns out to be really hard!)

We're also building out a developer experience team and are looking for someone who is passionate about UX, APIs, and making developer tools easy and fun to use.

Drop me a note if you're interested at long@box.com or matt@crocodoc.com

Haskell dev at Standard Chartered Bank , London UK

Strats team at Standard Chartered, London. A typed functional programming developer role on the trading floor. The role is highly development focused, and you will use Haskell for almost all tasks: data analysis, market data publishing, database access, web services, desktop GUIs, large parallel tasks, quantitative models, solvers, everything.

We have our own Haskell compiler, and many of the people involved in the development of Haskell.

Experience writing typed APIs to external systems such as databases, web services, pub/sub platforms is very desirable. The role requires physical presence on the trading floor in London. Remote work isn’t an option.

QA Automation Engineer at Chegg, Santa Clara, CA. (full-time)

Ever faced hiring bias because you're a woman or from a minority group or have a non-traditional educational background?

Now, you'll be judged for your real talent and not your background.

Chegg invites engineers with unconventional backgrounds for the role of a QA engineer on their team.

What you’ll do on our team:

-You’ll be creating automated tests for our highly scalable and fault tolerant Java based systems. We deal with financial transactions, so mistakes are literally costly.

-We highly value test driven development. We’re not a TDD team… yet. You will participate in improving our team to reach TDD nirvana.

-Understand the business problems being solved and understand how to evaluate our software that solves those problems.

-Create tests that maximize the value to our business (reduce risk the most for the least investment in effort).

-Clearly communicate actionable insight to those that can resolve the problems you identify.

Application Details:

We are committed to having a meritocratic, transparent and bias-free selection process that is inclusive to all applicants.

To apply please email your interest to chegg@gapjumpers.me

or please take our blind audition challenge at https://www.gapjumpers.me/questions/chegg/qs-214
