San Francisco, CA / REMOTE OK in the US | Experienced Full Stack Rails Developer | Stitchfix | Full-time

Hello, we're continuing to do a ton of hiring at Stitchfix. I'm responsible for a small team working on cross functional projects; Last year we worked on expanding Stitchfix to support Mens clothing, and then we also built the engine that drives stitchfix's Style Profile and made it more flexible. We work closely with the Data Science team, and our goal is always to serve our customers better using the information they provided while not being creepy :-)

Stitchfix is a clothing / style personalization service. Search Instagram for #stitchfix, which will tell you a whole lot about us, how much our customers love us and you'll get an idea of our business. Come back when you're done.

There are many other super interesting open dev roles across stitchfix, including in:

  * the Consumer Facing team
  * the Warehouse Tools teams
  * the Styling Tools teams
  * (and many others)

You can reach out directly to me (gal at stitchfix.com) - I'm a Principal Engineer and a hiring manager at Stitchfix. Here is a job posting roughly covering the role I'm hiring for: https://www.stitchfix.com/careers?gh_jid=455296&gh_src=r8m5v Stitch Fix's "Multithreaded" Tech Jobs blog & site (http://technology.stitchfix.com) has a lot more about the team and other positions (we’re also hiring iOS, DevOps, and UX)

(BTW I used to include an ASCII sweater in this post but then Hacker News mods told me to stop, so now you have to go here if you want to see it: http://ascii.co.uk/art/jumper)

Hitwise | Santa Monica, CA or Camarillo, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Hitwise (https://www.hitwise.com) is looking for an analyst for our Data Forensics team within our Data Science org. You'll play a lead role in servicing customer inquiries related to our sophisticated consumer insights product. You'll serve as a trusted set of eyes to monitor the veracity of our modeled data.

You'll use a variety of in house tools, but proficiency with SQL, Hive, R and statistical methods are all relevant.

If you love the idea of taking on significant conceptual ownership of some novel demographic and behavioral data, we should talk.

Within our DataSci team I lean strongly toward the engineering side of the spectrum, but I'd be happy to have a conversation about our work. dlarsen@connexity.com If you're more comfortable going the typical HR route, I can probably streamline the first phases of communication.

Sqreen - https://www.sqreen.io | Full-time Onsite engineers | Engineering team in Paris (France)

Sqreen is a security tool built with developers in mind (we are like New Relic, but for security).

We develop solutions that combine instrumentation, defensive algorithms and machine learning.

We are recruiting new engineers to join the team creating Sqreen agents for all technologies, and ship our incoming products.

Our most researched positions are within the agents team. You will join the guys that are writing the best instrumentation agents ever, and in all technologies (so far Ruby, Python, Node.js, PHP). These agents are protecting hundreds of thousands of applications, gazillions of HTTP requests per months...

- a C software engineer. The responsibility includes developing the PHP version of the Sqreen agent. PHP is written in C, we need an extension able to manipulate PHP internals to do PHP instrumentation), have you ever written something this cool for production usage?) https://www.sqreen.io/jobs-c

- a Java software engineer. This one is all about being the core maintainer of the Sqreen Java Agent. You need to be super comfortable of the JVM internals for this one (we are relying on the Byte Buddy library for instrumentation: http://bytebuddy.net/). https://www.sqreen.io/jobs-java

- a DevOps engineer. We have cool challenges like duplicating our infra to other zones (e.g. US, Asia), we are currently moving to DynamoDB, and we plan to do innovative usage of CDNs such as Fastly (https://www.fastly.com/blog/beacon-termination-edge/) https://www.sqreen.io/jobs/sqreen-aws-devops.html

Sqreen is already live for Ruby, Python, Node.js, and PHP.

We're looking for a senior iOS engineer to join our engineering team (currently 3 people - heavy math background). You will own the iPad app and contribute to other parts of our stack. Our iPad app is a key priority for us - and will be the primary interface for how all custom-fit products in the future are scanned and designed.

NoRedInk | Engineering Manager | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineering managers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

Time waste alert!

I had a recruiter for ZipRecruiter contact me. He spent almost 45 minutes selling the company and its values and then went on tell me how he was different than your "typical recruiter", how he was concerned about the "candidate experience" and after all it was his reputation.

Based on this recruiter's up-selling, I agreed to take their Hackerrank test, which was a timed test with the usual cliche algorithm problems.

At any rate, I completed the test and then was completely "ghosted" by this individual. I never heard a word back nothing. Even after sending a few follow up emails. Unprofessional, disrespectful and hypocritical.
