Medallia - Palo Alto, CA - http://engineering.medallia.com

Medallia is looking to expand its mobile team. Among other positions we are looking for an iOS developer that can drive our product and code base to a totally new level.

World-class companies (Apple, Mercedes, Nordstrom to mention a few) use Medallia to create awesome customer experiences. Our platform already includes a mobile solution covering both Android and iOS users, providing them the ability to engage with customers in real-time, share aggregated data, or analyze customer feedback on-the-go. We want to take this platform to the next stage, by increasing the social aspect of our application to make it a vital part of our client's organization, and by increasing its the personalization capabilities, so each one of our users can tailor it to their particular needs and goals. We also want to experiment on innovative ways of capturing customer experience information, and on helping companies to engage their employees on a customer oriented culture.

For that we've started experimenting with new frameworks and technologies such React Native, Flux and Graph QL in order to make our development more agile and extensible, given that we don't need to recompile every time after a change, that we can have a server with the app's content so we don't have to wait for apples review and that we can reuse existing javascript libraries that work great.

Please contact me at jmrodriguez@medallia.com if any of the above sounds interesting to you.

Juan Manuel Rodriguez, iOS Software Engineer.

Full Circle - Houston, Tx - Mid-to-Senior Level Full Stack/Backend Developer - Full-Time https://fullcircle.com/ We are a small team of developers supporting a growing business which provides organic/locally-sourced groceries, delivered weekly, on a subscription-based model. Originally started by an organic farmer just outside of Seattle, WA, Full Circle now delivers to much of Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho,…

Don't think you 8 years experience is a bit steep for someone without a CS degree? It's not really in line with the rest of your requirements, which could be easily exceeded with half that experience. Do you really think 4 years of work experience is the equivalent of 4 years in a CS degree program?

That's fair. If you believe that you meet enough of the other requirements then don't hesitate to apply.

Timeline.com | San Francisco | FULL-TIME | ONSITE (visa assistance provided)

Timeline provides deep context to relevant current affairs. When we released our first application – Timeline - News in Context – on January 15, 2015, it was immediately featured by the App Store Editors and then re-featured at the beginning of February as the best app of the month of January. They loved us so much that Timeline is now featured on iPhones in many Apple Stores worldwide.

Timeline team members work in a comfortable and results-oriented environment that comes with a great deal of autonomy, competitive compensation, and generous benefits. Equally important, people here believe deeply in what they're doing. Timeline is driven by a passion for a big idea. The world deserves better information. In one word, they deserve more context.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did you ask? We can usually give some feedback. That said, we are still improving our hiring workflow -- I have my own list of pet peeves. We've gone from dozens to thousands in a few years; turns out it's easier to scale software than hiring. Edit: speaking of asking, I asked some more about our feedback. Sometimes it's hard to give specific feedback, sometimes it's not easy to be tactful, sometimes the interviewer…

I was informed by a recruiter that they aren't hiring in 2015 anymore so this post is a bust.

That is not what I have been told. Happy to clear it up if you email me.

They also require TWO WORKING DAYS in their office in the hiring process.... crazy.

Where did you hear this? The maximum is a day, for engineers.

Really,I cant make head or tail on what you saying here.You are just dithering.To me,I will warn developers about your company.We need to start speaking out about disrespectful potential employers.There are quite a lot of tech companies that are treating potential employee badly.Asking candidates to do many hours of take-home code interview and simply ignore them thereafter;passive-aggressively interview candidates;A…

We don't do "take home" interviews. Engineers are asked to do a 1-hour tech screen, then asked to visit for a pairing interview, up to one day.

The pairing interview is, basically, the job. You sit next to a real engineer working on a real product on a real business need.

There's no whiteboard. No brain-teasers. No CS101. Just the real thing.
