Yes. https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/hiring/#rejecting-applican...

Wow, thats awesome. I should have asked for feedback when I got 'not moving forward' email when I applied last time. That recruiting page is really great and detailed too.

Hey there!

If you're curious about feedback you can email me directly at sasha@gitlab.com and I can look up your application and share any feedback with you!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is this job working directly for the SEC or as a contractor?

If it was directly for the SEC, you would apply through a .gov site, so it is pretty safe to assume this is a contractor.

That said, you will be on-site and likely working on the most interesting problems.

ActiveVideo, web-based application platform for TV applications | Netherlands | Product owner, C++/Java developers | full-time, onsite in Hilversum

At the Hilversum office of ActiveVideo (which has HQ in San Jose and another office in LA), we're looking for a product owner for my team, as well as C++ or Java developers for our end-to-end development teams. We're a deeply technical bunch, working on a platform to deliver TV UI/UX through a web application development platform in a way that makes it easy to deliver apps to set-top boxes and smart TVs (as well as any other devices, really), with a very thin client layer. Our goal is to obviate "fat" set-top boxes, which are expensive and just get out of date quickly, and move their capabilities into the software cloud. Software Defined Television, if you're into this buzzword thing. ;)

For my team, I'm especially looking for a strong product owner. You will work with our end-to-end development teams comprising Java and C++ developers to deliver business value to our global customer base and drive our product innovation. You'll need a good understanding of our customer's needs and must be able to explain their use cases to the engineering teams. You will also have to understand the nuances of our product's feature set and can identify gaps between the current product and our customers' feature requests.

Some requirements: - Communicate with Product Management, customers and engineers at their own level - Connect our long-term product vision to implementation-ready use cases - Balance business value and engineering stewardship - Experience in agile development, preferably as a product owner - Excellent verbal and written English - You will thrive in a small company environment

Apart from the product owner role, we're also currently looking for strong C++ or Java software engineers. Note, especially for Java folks: we're not looking for web programming or CRUD apps, but for strong distributed systems thinking. We maintain our own web browser engine (WebKit fork) and we have very deep in-house video and codecs knowledge.

We have a highly informal organization and pretty flat structure. This enables our employees to be flexible and to research their ideas. And of course we offer a competitive package.

Our hiring process is generally a quick online coding test, then a phone/Skype call, then two or three face-to-face interviews on-site. Can do VISA if necessary -- we're a diverse team already, with a bunch of Dutchies, plenty of Eastern Europeans, some NZ/Aussies and Indians.

If you're interested, please email me: d.ochtman at activevideo dot com.

1aim | Berlin, Germany | Onsite, Full Time, Visa https://1aim.com At 1aim, we develop and produce access control systems, which allow to open doors with mobile phones. We create all hardware, software and IT-Infrastructure to run our systems on our own. Beside access systems we are already putting a lot of R&D effort in creating further new smart home/building automation products. We see ourselves as an engineering-d…

"We do not care about your academic degrees [...]" Unfortunately embassies do care about these. Getting a work permit to immigrate to another country without an university degree certainly reduces the chances to get the embassy's approval, even in countries like Germany where there is some flexibility — if you have a Senior profile — a degree certainly accelerates the process. In fact, in this industry, there is less…

Just moved to Berlin, no degree. The federal employment agency had to give approval after the contract was signed, which took about 2-3 weeks. Working visa issued after 3 days. HR shouldn't be scared, it's easy and pretty straightforward.

Jet.com | https://jet.com/ | Hoboken (very close to NYC) | Dublin | Full-time | Onsite

----------

(From our careers page)

We need super smart engineers from all levels to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platform in the world (big talk we know, but that is our goal!). Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize Jet from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (Jet is a technology first company and prides itself on its culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!)

Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in a functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization we will see a shift towards Linux).

----------

I've been working at Jet since mid-February, and I can honestly say this is the best job I've ever had. It personally checks off every single box I could have a for a dream job:

- Incredible growth. We were the fastest startup to hit a billion dollar valuation, and we just got bought by Walmart for 3.3 billion. With the Fortune 1 at our backs there are some really amazing opportunities and projects that are just getting started.

- Functional programming in F#. Never been more productive coding. And in general we have a very modern tech stack that is a pleasure to work with.

- Tech talks and workshops all the time. I'm learning more than I ever have.

- Extremely competent management. It feels like they really care about employees' happiness here, we've got experienced people at the helm, and it is amazing to see what a company can look like when you have a fantastic management team bringing their A-game. Really, it's incredible to have to try hard to find something to complain about.

- All the trappings of modern startup life. Free gym membership, lots of free food, etc.

We're hiring people of all different types of experience for all different types of roles. More information about specific roles can be found here: https://jet.com/careers . You can apply on the individual role pages.

If you have any questions (commuting from NYC, about Hoboken, what's going on in the company, anything really), feel free to ask here or send a message to "nat" at the domain that I work on.

We are currently working with many of the top treatment providers, government initiatives, health systems, and academic research programs in the world. Our core platform utilizes phone sensors and phone data to predict the state of an individual’s recovery in real-time, enabling the right care to be delivered proactively the moment it is needed.

Now imagine doing all of this without self-reported data.

We are building apps on both Android and iOS, a customer-facing web application, a robust web services API, machine learning-driven analytics, and large-scale data processing. Our tech stack includes NodeJS and MongoDB on the backend, Backbone on the frontend, React Native, Swift and Java for mobile, and Python 3 for machine learning.
