Comcast | Sr Developer | Philadelphia PA | Full Time Onsite $110K+

Like what Amazon is doing with their AWS toolset? (current S3 troubles notwithstanding) Think you can do better? Want to get in on the ground floor of that effort?

If you can get over the fact that we’re not a very popular topic at dinner parties then we can make it worth your while and challenge your ability to channel and organize data streams for ourselves and our partners.

Comcast is -very- motivated when it comes to putting together tools and environments that leverage the literal crap-ton of data (yes, thats an official SI unit) that arrives on our doorstep every second. We’re not stuck on must-have tools, languages, or mindsets since we know that the most effective ones will eventually show themselves regardless. The same applies to the likes of yourself. We’re less interested in languages you code in, if you’re competent then you’ll be adaptable regardless.

Now, that said, our current toolsets include: Spark, Terraform, Ansible, Genie, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Java, Scala, and a few others.

Tell us what drives you, what you’re passionate about.

Ping me at: br24 at comcast dot net I can tell you anything you need to know.

10% Happier | Lead Developer or Director of Engineering | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full Time

A clear, simple approach to meditation with a NY Times bestselling author and some of the most respected (and cool) meditation teachers on the planet. Launched last year, 8 person core team, venture-backed, growing quickly. (Here’s the app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meditation-for-fidgety-skept... )

We're looking for a lead developer or director of engineering excited by the challenges of building a fast-growing + consumer mobile + meditation startup.

You're likely a full stack generalist with mobile experience, ready to tackle anything from architecting the back-end to coding our consumer apps (currently iOS only, Android coming soon). In addition to leading the technical direction of the company, you'll also help establish a strong engineering culture - mentoring, recruiting, development process, etc. Last but not least, you'll work on a product that actually makes people's lives better. (If you don't believe us, take a look at our reviews on the App Store.)

The product (for now) is our iOS app. It’s built in Swift & ReactiveCocoa. Our web-back end is Ruby on Rails and Postgres, all living atop Heroku. If you’re interested in functional programming & clean, readable code, we think you’ll like what you see - but we’d prefer it if you helped us make it better still.

The interview process involves a 30min call, and two 2hr interviews (followed by reference checks and conversations to answer any questions you have).

Email me derek@ (10percenthappier.com) if you’re interested.

Exponent | Software Developer | Palo Alto, CA | ONSITE, FULL-TIME | https://getexponent.com

Exponent lets web developers build truly native apps that work across both iOS and Android by writing them once in just JavaScript. It's open source and free and uses React Native. Several of our engineers are core contributors to React Native, and we regularly collaborate with Facebook and other companies on the direction of the framework. Our technology is built around an Android/iOS application which allows developers to load their JavaScript projects on the fly with no native build dependencies or waiting period for store deployment. Out of the box, developers using Exponent get access to native mobile APIs like push notifications, camera, maps, and more (https://docs.getexponent.com/versions/v14.0.0/index.html).

We have a lot of irons in the fire, and we're looking for engineers who can comfortably own and work on multiple projects. Some examples of recent projects at Exponent:

* Creating cross-platform APIs (like our new WebGL implementation) that provide developers native mobile functionality within JavaScript

* Building our not-yet-released JSFiddle for mobile apps

* Designing and implementing a community front-end to explore applications built on Exponent

* Building the foundation of a scalable infrastructure to host our take on a new mobile web

Some projects that are underway or on the horizon for us:

* Rethinking developer tooling for React Native projects

* Greatly expanding the functionality available in our SDK's API

* Improved monitoring and alerting for our infrastructure

* Increasing our test coverage and improving overall reliability

Some buzzwords: React Native, JavaScript (ES6/ES7, Flow), Android, iOS, Node.js, Electron, Go, Kubernetes, Google Cloud.

We don't expect candidates to already be proficient in these, but it's what we're currently using day-to-day. Please send an email to jobs@getexponent.com and mention this post if you'd like to start a conversation with us. Definitely include links to applicable resources: resume/CV, your blog, GitHub profile, recent projects or open source contributions, etc. Typical interviews with us include remote pairing, small take-home projects (1-2 hours), and we usually finish with some more traditional in-person interviews.

The team I work on at Tenable is currently looking to hire another Vulnerability Research Engineer (http://app.jobvite.com/m?3RC1riwI) to join the Nessus Research team. Primary responsibilities include researching recently published vulnerabilities and then writing plugins for the Nessus vulnerability scanner.

This is a remote position and does not require relocation. The job description linked is a decent summary of what the position entails, but if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them as best I can (jsebree@tenable.com).

The interview process for this includes contact with a recruiter, a short skills assessment (via hackerrank), and interviews with those you'll work with on a daily basis. Travel is not required for interviews.

If this position is not of interest, there are many other openings to be considered as well (dev/research and otherwise): http://app.jobvite.com/m?3OV2riwZ

Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) is hiring hackers (San Francisco, ONSITE)

Y Combinator has a very big vision. This recent article talks about our plans to build a 21st century university: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/10/sam-altmans-man...

Here's a secret most people don't know: software is at the core of our plans for how to do this.

We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join a small team in San Francisco. It's not a job for everyone, but it would be a good fit for someone who loves startups. Working at YC, you won't just write code, you'll be involved in everything YC does, from our dinner talks to demo day.

Here's an example of something interesting we built recently: http://themacro.com/articles/2016/08/investor-day-software/

If you're a hacker, send us a note here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with questions: jared@ycombinator.com
