onefinestay - javascript application developer - London, UK

----

# Who are we?

There’s a new way to stay in a city. onefinestay is a trusted service for hosts to flexibly share their homes while they’re out of town. We give guests the best bits of a boutique hotel stay inside some of the most distinctive homes around.

----

# Why does onefinestay need developers?

As well as continuously improving http://www.onefinestay.com we’re building a whole bevy of tools to support the very real, very logistical business that depends on technology, from mobile tools to scheduling systems. Here’s a snapshot of some of the things we're currently working on, will be working on soon, or maybe just finished.

- Updating the entire online pre-stay experience for guests (we call it, online check-in)

- Launched a brand new online magazine with custom cms called The Edition

- Developed an authentication and staff management system to handle our ever-growing team

- Completely revamping the entire site to support mobile devices (40% of our traffic comes from iOS)

----

# Who do we want?

We're looking for someone who can question the status quo, bring new ideas to the table, see the full potential of a new feature (and push it to realisation), or if necessary tone down something that is getting out of hand. Everyone on the team is a fullstack developer, to some degree. But our django heavy application is moving more and more to the client in order to keep our interfaces as usable as possible. We'd like you to have some experience with server-side code in a production environment, but if yours isn’t in python or django, don't worry, there’ll be plenty of time to learn. With that in mind, we’re looking for:

- High-level ability in HTML/CSS (SASS)

- MVC style application development with javascript (backbone, underscore, react)

- Some experience with server side frameworks (django, RoR, express)

- Ability to work with our product team to develop high quality user experience

- Strong knowledge of web standards and cross-browser compatibility

There's a bunch of other stuff that will go a long way to get us excited:

- Experience with source control (git, mercurial)

- Experience with agile development methodologies

- Comfortable working with pre-processors such as browserify, React's jsx format

- Experience with CI and automated testing (jenkins, jasmine)

----

# What we can offer you?

- Competitive salaries

- Stock options

- A social work environment filled to the brim with talented developers

- Your choice of dev environment (on the penthouse floor of our sweet new offices)

- Time to expand and grow your skills

----

Location: Singapore (PR, citizen or VISA) or REMOTE

Zalora is (still) hiring Haskellers, DevOps engineers and data scientists. We sell clothing online in 7 Asian countries, are almost three years old and raised several hundred million dollars.

We don't save the world, but we have millions of happy customers. There's interesting challenges that come from trying to rewrite a codebase in a purely functional style and from coping with operations in countries speaking different languages, selling a hundred thousand distinct SKUs. Singapore's a nice, warm place with low taxes, cheap cost of living and a highly functional first world government and infrastructure, but if you want to stay in your farm in Sweden and work remotely, that's also OK.

We also build technology with elements from the practice of music specially timing elements. For example we explore comm protocols that use rhythm to enhance info exchange. We're building a coding tool based on this work.

Bloomberg - San Francisco (full-time, no remote, no relo, visa ok) I am looking for the first few individuals to join a team of two building something special in SF. Bootstrapping a team from scratch requires a type of person who thrives in a startup atmosphere and can wear many hats. Ideal candidates have had plenty of experience scaling up or building large distributed systems and/or building products for developer…

If Andrew Paprocki says a particular role at BB is interesting, it's probably amazing.
