Scalyr - Frontend, Backend Engineers - San Francisco Mid-Peninsula (on-site) - $110k-$150k+, >1% equity

At one level, we're a server operations tool -- log analysis, system metrics, dashboards and alerting. Underneath, we're building a super-high-speed distributed columnar database that enables interactive (subsecond) exploration of terabyte datasets; fronted by a lean, mean web UI.

Engineers love our product, because it's fast, powerful, and straightforward. We love building our product, because we get to tackle fun challenges and we have customers who appreciate what we do. I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say this is my favorite so far.

We're looking for:

* Frontend engineers: help build a sophisticated, low-latency, data-rich single-page-app (AngularJS).

* Backend engineers: large-scale data filtering and aggregation, distributed systems, and extreme performance (Java, plus some native-compiled code).

If you're looking for worthy challenges, a low-stress, engineering-driven culture, great peers, and significant equity in a business with traction, revenue, and a huge market -- drop me a line at steve@scalyr.com! Or stop by https://www.scalyr.com/careers for more info.

Hi! We're Nylas and we're looking for help building the next generation email platform. We're building a missing piece of Internet infrastructure and are looking for frontend application engineers and designers and backend systems and infrastructure/operations engineers to join us.

Companies are building their core businesses around our email API right now. We have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. We're scaling heavily and if you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, this job might be for you. :)

Many people spend their entire days buried in mail clients which haven't significantly changed in years. Yet have you ever met anyone who really loves their email experience? We want to change that. We're building a frontend framework to power the next generation of mail apps. Sound exciting to you?

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized

* Our frontend projects use Coffeescript, React, Flux, SQL for offline caching, Electron (Atom Shell), and no jQuery

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/nylas

* We're 40% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%

* We have a paid vacation policy & value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include full health, dental, vision, commuter, & lunch at the office every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too

Apply at https://nylas.com/jobs or ping me directly (evan at nylas dot com). I'm one of the frontend engineers. We're a diverse team, and encourage applications from all backgrounds
