Front End Engineer | Likelihood | San Francisco, CA | Salary range: $100,000.00 - $160,000.00 + options based on experience | Onsite | No resume needed

Hey HN, I'm Garrett Wu, CTO of Likelihood. I’m posting because we’re hiring front end engineers. To give you an idea of what you’d do, you'll be working on a algorithmic design tool that helps traditional retailers create more personalized experiences. Likelihood has launched a creative new way for retailers to design and display personalized, brand-rich content directly in their sites, apps, and emails through our “intelligent creative” product. Our stack is react, node, postgres, and java.

It's no fun to waste time applying for a job that isn't a good fit, so I'm happy to chat with you on the phone to give you more information.

We may have already answered your questions about us on http://www.likelihood.com/front-end-engineer.html. It covers hiring process, engineering culture, and the project you might work on with us.

Interested? Email me and mention you’re from HN. No need to send a resume—I’d like to hear about what you’ve been working on lately, and feel free to include any relevant project links.

Yours, Garrett Wu CTO, Likelihood garrettwu@likelihood.com http://www.likelihood.com/front-end-engineer.html

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Designers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to build, and it’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

London, UK | Geckoboard | Front End Developer

Geckoboard is a successful and growing 30-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant, real-time dashboards solve a difficult but valuable problem for thousands of paying subscribers.

We are looking for a full-time front-end engineer with experience building single page applications. You'll be passionate about working as part of a team, and learning from others through pair programming and peer review. You'll be comfortable liaising with our product designer on design and implementation. You’ll relish the opportunity to continually improve an existing product through refactoring and the removal/addition of features.

More than anything, we value candidates who are excited about picking up new skills and sharing what they’ve learned with the rest of the team - for example, none of us knew Go or React.js a short time ago, but now both are key parts of our stack. We love people with a keen attention to detail and the willingness to apply it in shaping all aspects of our product.

AudioAddict | Full-time REMOTE or Denver, CO, USA

- Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby / Rails and Go)

This is a permanent position with a thriving music company building the infrastructure that powers DI.FM, RadioTunes.com, JazzRadio.com, RockRadio.com, ClassicalRadio.com, and other expertly curated internet radio properties.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who is a well-rounded generalist, understanding everything that happens behind the scenes of a well-performing web application. The ideal candidate will be able to manage their own time (read: working remote isn’t for everyone) and is comfortable taking initiative in a small team.

- Mobile Architect

We currently support native apps for iOS and Android, with other devices of all sizes and shapes still to come. We’re looking for someone with the expertise to plan for and support our current apps, and the foresight to adapt as our needs grow and change while assisting with management of a small team of mobile developers across multiple platforms.

This role is flexible in its nature. The position requires the skills of a strong technical lead and a strong project manager, but the blend of these two skillsets can be discussed and is open for interpretation. Experience with media streaming is a strong plus.

---

We're a midsized (~30 full time employees) organization where almost everyone works remote from wherever they are around the globe. We don't watch the clock or mandate any set schedule outside of occasional (teleconference) meetings - we're just looking for kickass work. We're great about ensuring you're set up with whatever you need to make your home office work, and music isn't just our business, it runs in the blood of the company - we're DJs, audio engineers, performers, and more... all supporting streaming of great music to a fanbase who has been listening to us for more than a decade.

Our interview process is simple: An initial phone screen to get a feel for your background, interests / desires in the future, and salary needs; a 30 minute technical QA with an engineer; a 1 hour programming lab with an engineer; and a final meet-and-greet with various executives from the organization. All interviewing is done remotely.
