King & Union | 2 positions: Javascript/Front-end developer; Python/Back-end developer | Washington, DC | ONSITE FULL-TIME

The point: We are an information security/threat intelligence company. Our goal is to make the threat intelligence process run more smoothly and help organizations share threat data better. Our web app pulls threat information (both our own and via external APIs) into a graph and enables real-time collaboration and sharing of the information on the graph. (If you're aware of the tools, think of combining Google Docs with a graph editor like Maltego and mix in some process automation.)

What we're looking for: We're looking for two positions: one a mid/advanced front-end developer for the front end of our web-based application; the other a mid/advanced back-end developer. The front-end is built with React/Microcosm/Material/Vis.js, and it talks to our backend using a mix of REST and WebSockets. The back-end is built in Python with Django/Django Channels. Ideally, the UI person we're looking for would be comfortable doing both the React programming side of things as well as the HTML/CSS/layout work, and the backend person would be comfortable with some Golang/command line work. There would also be some design work as we roll out new features to the site and migrate data graph db in the near future.

Perks of the job: early round shares, competitive salary, 401k, & healthcare benefits. Also, we work from home a lot and our focus is on getting the work done, not on face time.

A bit about us: We are a pre-A-round startup. We have a working product and paying customers, so we're in a good spot financially. We are based in Alexandria, VA but as mentioned above, working from home is common. We tend to meet up in Alexandria once a week.

We encourage all who are interested to contact us. You can reach me at: aaron@kingandunion.com

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Multiple Positions (see below) | Memphis, TN | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.stjude.cloud/ The St. Jude Cloud project is hiring multiple different positions and technical backgrounds (see below). We work on the forefront of computational genomics by applying advanced computational techniques to analyzing genomics data then sharing that data with the world. Please see the indiv…

is REMOTE okay for all of these positions? I applied to St. Jude's awhile back and indicated that I would not relocate (was hoping to be remote) and never heard back.

First, I'll say that I can't speak for all of St. Jude — it's a big place and it's going to vary from position to position. On-site has historically been preferred because of the energy on campus and the nature of the work. In my opinion, the institution as a whole is starting to become more open to the remote working arrangement.

For these positions, I'm considering remote applications. If you apply, just be sure you specify it in your cover letter (and be sure to email me directly if you don't hear back!).

year end bonus that is influenced by your work during the year, our profitability and where you live

You should pay me for the value I bring to your business, where I chose to live shouldn't have anything to do with how much I get paid for remote position. Gitlab pull the same trick, and wrap a complicated set of metrics around it, but it still comes off as cheapskating.

SCRUFF | Tech Lead | New York City (NYC) | Onsite | Full Time

SCRUFF, one of the largest global gay social networks worldwide, has an opening for a Tech Lead in our New York office.

SCRUFF is a software company at its core, led by a team with educational and professional experience at Stanford, MIT, Google, Microsoft, and more. We run a major AWS infrastructure using the latest Gen-5 AWS VMs, Ruby (Sinatra, not Rails) 2.5, Docker, Aurora, Redshift, Kinesis, and many other cutting-edge pieces of cloud services. Our client was one of the first apps in the iOS and Google Play app stores, and today is built with the latest mobile development languages like Swift, Kotlin, and React Native (in addition to Objc and Java of course).

We are a dedicated group building a digital community for GBTQ men that is unique, welcoming, and (per our app store ratings and user interviews) widely liked. We are growing quickly both in the USA and internationally, and have major feature work that continue to push the boundaries of what many in years past dismissed as being a "hookup app."

Ideal candidates have a minimum of 7 years of professional software development experience, 2+ years managing development teams, and have shipped major software projects. You will be responsible for managing projects distributed across a team of 10 engineers, some based in NYC and others based in remote home offices.

There are myriad skills a Tech Lead must possess and cultivate, but the most important are sincere empathy, crystal clear communication, and technical excellence. These skills are equally weighted. The Tech Lead is a “hybrid” role with one foot in management and the other in engineering, and acts as a liaison between project expectations and development tasks.

We have additional roles for Mobile Software Engineers and Ruby Engineers. Check out https://www.scruff.com/careers for more details.
