Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2019)

NEXT Trucking | El Segundo, CA (Headquarters) & Irvine / Orange County, CA | Onsite | Full-time

NEXT Trucking builds software for modernizing & optimizing drayage, the process of moving shipping containers from ports to local warehouses, with a focus on 'Drivers First'. This video, featuring our CEO Lidia Yan, describes the business and market opportunity much better than I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHHI3vaqCS4

We're hiring software developers, platform/SREs, data engineers, UI/UX designers, product managers, and more: https://www.nexttrucking.com/careers/

Highlights of our tech stack include Java + Spring Boot, React + React Native, Storybook, GraphQL, Node, NestJS, PostgreSQL, OpenTracing (Jaeger), Kafka, and deployed to AWS + Kubernetes via Terraform. We write lots of tests (perhaps even too many!), are continuously learning & improving our processes, open source friendly, and have a warm, inclusive, & welcoming culture.

We're also not picky about candidates having used the same technologies we use today, having hired developers with heavy backgrounds in C#, Angularjs, Python, Perl, etc.

Who am I? I'm Kevin, an IC working primarily from our Irvine location on platform and infrastructure bits, and would love to have more folks from Orange County seize the opportunity to work for a well funded series-C startup, without having to deal with LA traffic : ) I'm more than happy to chat and answer questions, so please feel free to shoot me an email: kevinp@nexttrucking.com .

Netflix | Los Gatos, CA | Full-Time | On-Site

Our team sits in the middle of the action at Netflix. Imagine what would happen if we performed a region evacuation and a bunch of services weren’t scaled properly - we’d have a big outage on our hands very quickly. Changing the steering for 130+ million customers within 7 minutes and without missing a beat is no easy task, but it is just one aspect of what we think about. Steering and scaling are powerful tools to influence the availability and latency of Netflix during normal operations as well. Additionally, our team is responsible for capacity and reservation management for Netflix's AWS footprint, and we are starting to engage in fleet-wide efficiency efforts.

I look at every applicant that applies through https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/866321

For anyone applying to the ML Engineer role.

I applied and interviewed for the ML Engineer position at Recursion a few months ago. The recruiter was very responsive and professional. Interacting with the recruiter was the only positive experience throughout the interview process. I interviewed with the Vice President of Engineering and Data Science. One was somewhat interested in my background/projects, the other became frustrated as the interview progressed and ended the call after about 15 minutes. It was most likely because my familiarity with TensorFlow Extended (TFX) was basic. I was very disappointed because I really wanted to work at Recursion. I spent an enormous amount of time studying for this interview. In the end, it took me a few days to fully learn TFX, but Recursion is still looking for a ML Engineer two months later.

Some advice for anyone applying to the ML Engineer position. The position title is misleading. Recursion is looking for a _Senior_ ML Engineer. I met all the listed requirements and have three years of experience working with ML. That was not enough. Also, make sure to mention TensorFlow Extended (TFX). I'm pretty sure if you spend a day or two studying TFX, you're considered a _Senior_ and can land the ML Engineer job.

Best of luck.

I work REMOTE at Remind, feel free to reach out if you have questions.
