The New York Public Library | Senior Android Developer | Full-time + On-site in NYC | http://www.librarysimplified.org | https://www.nypl.org

The New York Public Library is reshaping the world of e-books and library lending with its SimplyE mobile and web applications. Our small, dedicated, and compassionate team is looking for an exceptional Android engineer to help us in the quest for ever greater public access to information. Join us in our efforts at the main NYPL branch location (of Ghostbusters fame) and you'll experience the pleasure of working full-time on open-source software, enjoy a healthy work-life balance, and sleep well at night knowing you're doing what's best for the patrons of the library, not someone else's bottom line.

Our native app is written primarily in Java with new development being undertaken in Kotlin. You should be competent with Git, know a thing or two about SQL, and understand the basics of JavaScript and DOM manipulation. Knowledge of the EPUB format, familiarity with building accessible apps, and a good understanding of functional programming are major plusses. We're also very passionate about our institutional values of collaboration and mentoring.

Ready to improve the experiences of library patrons around the US? Send your résumé to "nypldigitaljobs@nypl.org" and let us know!

Neon Exchange (NEX) | Engineering and Blockchain Roles | Remote | https://neonexchange.org

NEX is building the first high performance, cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX). Today's DEXs cannot handle large order volume and in general offer very poor usability. Further, unlike most centralized exchanges, users cannot trade in national currencies. We are solving this problem through a fast, off-chain matching engine and a global network of banking partners. We are also among the first blockchain projects to launch a token as a fully regulated and compliant European security.

Our founders are responsible for creating CoZ, one of the largest open source blockchain communities (https://github.com/CityOfZion), where we have created software used by hundreds of thousands of users. Collectively, our team includes PhDs from Stanford and ETH Zurich, YC alumni, and award winning designers.

Some tech highlights:

- Elixir for our matching engine

- React / Redux for our front-end components

- NEO and Ethereum for smart contracts

We are looking for front-end and back-end engineers, developers familiar smart contracts, and PhD-level researchers in security or distributed systems. Email me for more information: ethan@neonexchange.org
