About modblock (REMOTE)

modblock is a startup operating in the gaming industry, looking to bridge the gap between freelance developers and actual game developers. Our product is a software, built to ease the integration of content created by freelance developers into existing video games.

Our ambitions with modblock are to provide new gaming experiences for players, empower freelance developers through monetisation and enable game developers to leverage more out of their games with new streams of content and revenues. Each of these ambitions has its own challenges, but we’re convinced that execution could represent a real turning point in game development.

More than experience, we’re looking to bring on board a true gaming passionate that wants to have a positive impact on the industry!

Responsibilities:

- Building the modblock platform and ensure its maintenance for a smooth end-user experience.

- Working closely with CEO to ensure that modblock vision is maintained throughout the development phase.

- Ensure that customer feedback is taken into account and implemented to improve the experience.

- Having an vivid interest in innovations in the fields of software and gaming developments.

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

- 5+ years of game development experience and modding, knowledge of C++/C# a plus.

- Extensive knowledge of software and web development (HTML, CSS) desirable.

- Strong passion for gaming and extensive knowledge of the PC gaming landscape.

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

Medallia is hiring engineers to build our next-generation analytics platform. World-class companies (Airbnb, Mercedes, Nordstrom to mention a few) use Medallia to create awesome customer experiences.

We are a fast-growing (70% per year), Sequoia-backed company that recently became a tech unicorn; our mission is no less than to transform the way the world's companies view and interact with their customers. We allow hundreds of thousands of employees to access, analyze and take action on large amounts of customer data in real time. We are still a small engineering team, only about 50 or so of us, thus everyone counts.

We are building the new platform based on the latest technologies and best practices: pure REST APIs, based on Swagger 2.0, on top of a state-of-the-art microservice architecture built by our awesome Systems Foundation team. Code is hosted on Github and we open source the components that are of general interest. We host hundreds of millions of records for our customers and run analytics in fractions of a second with no pre-computation thanks to our own in-memory analytics engine. We are looking for both experienced backend and frontend engineers.

Please send me a note at kristian@medallia.com if any of the above sounds interesting to you.

Engineering Roles Director of Development - http://spothero.com/careers/126707 As the Director of Development, you'll thoughtfully lead our team of engineers in supporting and growing our business. You must enjoy the hands-on work of a day-to-day developer (coding, design, and problem solving), in addition to leading engineers, communicating closely with our executives, and determining the best use of new technologies - all the while nurturing and maintaining a development culture that SpotHero can be proud of.

Senior Software Engineer in Test - http://spothero.com/careers/91854 QA is a part of every engineer's process here at SpotHero. However, we need someone dedicated to bringing automated test best practices to the team, and someone that can figure out how to test the really hard things. We have a love/hate relationship with Selenium. And if you don't know why, then you're probably not ready for this role. Come help us tame the beast...

Lead Software Engineer, iOS/Android - http://spothero.com/careers/108372 No, we don't expect you to build both iOS and Android apps by yourself. BUT, you should know how to!! This role is half managing the iOS & Android apps, and half architecting & developing. You'll have both iOS and Android developers (1 for each platform) on your team, and you should be able to jump back and forth, as needed. If you're a first time manager, no worries; we'll coach you on those skills. Just be sure you're a master of both platforms.

Senior Backend Engineer - http://spothero.com/careers/124847 As a member of our Backend team, you will be responsible for building all things related to the backend horsepower that powers our website, our API, and our native apps!

Software Engineer, Android - http://spothero.com/careers/88317 SpotHero is a mobile product. If you love building Android apps, you'll love what we've got in store. We have an amazing Android app, that we're looking to do a full ground up redesign on. So there is a lot of bluesky work in the very near future.

Summer Software Engineering Intern - http://spothero.com/careers/118124 College interns are as important as Lead Engineers at SpotHero. They are the future of our team, and the future of our industry. You'll be paired with a Senior Engineer from day 1, and solving real problems that make it to production your first week. Buckle up and hold on tight, you're about to learn a crap ton here!!

To apply, please email your resume to jobs@spothero.com. Include any github account, linkedin profile, and any project that you’re particularly proud of. We love seeing work that others loved working on.
