I'll be transparent and say: I think it's crazy you expect developers to take a 45 day risk/trial period, in order to work at the company. I'm an experienced dev (3+ years of wholesome experience + a solid work portfolio) and I could even deal with the rather significant pay cut I'd be taking... but a pay cut + risking not having employment, when I'm already settled in a current job? No thanks. But good luck.

> I'm an experienced dev (3+ years ... This is still "barely out of school, hardly knows what he's doing" stage :) Edit - downvote me all you want, but if you are to show up on the interview and declare that you are in an "experienced dev (with 3+ years)", the interview will conclude quickly. It's not that you have just three years of experience, it's the fact that you think it's a lot. It's not. This makes you cocky…

Sure, whatever. Have it.

...but that still doesn't negate the fact that expecting anyone worth their salt to give up a current level of security for a 45 day gamble with Buffer is a smart hiring strategy.

San Francisco, Mountain View - Matasano and iSEC Partners [WILL RELOCATE] There are horrors beyond life's edge that we do not suspect, and once in a while man's evil prying calls them just within our range. Talented tech people seek out jobs with interesting challenges. Different firms, different challenges.

As someone who just made it through the Matasano gauntlet, I can't recommend it enough. It was fun and challenging. If you're interested in doing security, get in touch with tptacek. I can't wait to get started myself.

Yeah really. This is a particular strain of bullshit that I've been hearing about a lot recently. It flows from the hire slow fire fast mantra of "lean startups." It feels and sounds like the cheapening of talent/expertise and people. Frankly I think treating people like reality show contestants even once they're in the door is bottom of the barrel behavior.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I understand the problem for Buffer, but this isn't the solution. I've heard of companies who offer people to consult on weekends for a predetermined total number of hours to accomplish much the same outcome. Annoying, but I'll play ball. ...but really. I seriously doubt any high-end dev talent is willing to take such risks. And if you think this hiring strategy would be successful i…

well, I'm just feeling a bit burned after a presentation I sat through the other week on the topic.

San Francisco, CA

Are you excited by the opportunity to revolutionize an industry?

InvestCloud, born in a garage (it's what Californian companies do, after all), is driving a high-speed design and technology revolution that is transforming the way the financial industry uses, processes and interacts with data.

Today, any investment manager can have access to a first-class integrated investment platform through the cloud, with InvestCloud. We are the first true cloud platform for the securities market. Since the launch in January 2012, we have over 100,000 users in excess of 1 trillion assets, accessing information securely from any location with any device.

We are looking for bright and talented individuals as we advance our cutting edge proprietary technology.

LEAD ENGINEER JOB DESCRIPTION

To be successful in this role, you must be a quick learner, have stellar software development and communication abilities, and work well in cross-functional teams. This is a great opportunity to enhance your cloud computing skills, while simultaneously gaining intimate knowledge of InvestCloud products and services.

Key Responsibilities:

- Collaborate with the CTO, Chief Architect, and Head of Product to deliver on key architectural features.

- Research, implement, and find ways to leverage new technologies to increase the scalability and performance of the platform.

- Design, defend, and implement the way forward.

- Make informed decisions and be comfortable learning from failures.

- Protect the separation of concerns and ensure expedience of delivery is not the enemy of quality.

QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience and ability to work in multiple programming languages and frameworks; more importantly, you’re not afraid to research a new one if its the right tool for the job.

- Appreciation of storage tools; for example: you have an opinion on them, and enjoy discussing when and where to use NoSQL vs relational.
