New York City (ONSITE). Software Engineers- full stack and front end.

Better Mortgage (better.com)is revolutionizing the $12 Trillion mortgage business- somehow the mortgage process still takes 49 days, costs over $5,000 in administrative fees, and requires over 225 pages of paper and endless phone calls with commissioned loan brokers. We think this is insane - so we’re fixing it.

Help us hack this $12 trillion dollar industry by building a product that will positively impact millions of people.

High Fidelity -- San Francisco, CA -- Fulltime, ONSITE but Work from Home friendly.

High Fidelity was created in 2013, our mission is to create a new kind of virtual reality platform. Team High Fidelity has a deep legacy of expertise in software development, social entertainment, peer-based recognition systems, community development, and workforce mobilization.

We believe that both the hardware and the internet infrastructure are now available to give people around the world access to an interconnected Metaverse that will offer a broad range of capabilities for creativity, education, exploration, and play. And by using all of our computers together in an open shared network, we can simulate this space at a far larger scale than would be possible by any single company or centrally hosted system. By using a range of new hardware devices like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR, Leap Motion, PrioVR, Sixsense, and depth cameras, the experience of exploring these worlds can be incredibly immersive and the interaction with others lifelike and emotional.

We are looking for software engineers with solid experience in C++ and Javascript to help us build the Metaverse. Openings can be viewed at http://highfidelity.com/jobs. To apply, email us your resume or LinkedIn profile. Sample code and links to things you’ve built are most welcome. hiring@highfidelity.io

RepSpark Systems | Costa Mesa, CA | Full-time | ONSITE

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA. We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and Redux.

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!

Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA (onsite)

A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial is an SF-based financial services company that believes in quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.

85% of our work is in Rails, 10% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS, multiple SSL & IPSec VPNs, encryption, security, etc.

Our technology suite is complex, geographically distributed, and must be both secure and robust to protect our customers, more so than your typical startup.

Did we mention that we built an IVR for customer service, and handle customer incoming customer requests via SMS, too?

If you’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before, let’s talk.

You should be someone who can make things better without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it. Rockstars need not apply; session musicians only.

We hired a Rails engineer who gives frequent talks on diversity issues in tech.

We hired a stand-up comedian and mathematician who has been blowing out our UIs with React + Flux.

We’re migrating our deployment automation from Elastic Beanstalk + Opsworks to Ansible.

We do stuff.

Because of the stage of the company we unfortunately cannot consider candidates with minimal experience (e.g. recent dev bootcamp graduates). We need people that have professional experience working as an engineer. We are also only looking to make an in-house, full-time hire here in San Francisco and cannot support part-time, remote, or contract work at this time.

Email jobs@truelinkfinancial.com and we'll get back to you within 2 business days. Seriously.

Keywords if you Cmd+F’d the page: rails3, rails4, RoR, ruby, sloths, ReactJS, Flux, Ansible, fintech, full-stack, IPSec

Biology is severely under-utilized. 20n (YC W15) fixes that using software predictions to create cells that produce materials, pharmaceuticals, and other products. As our first demo, we created an organism that eats sugar and produces Paracetamol -- the active ingredient of Tylenol. This is the first biological/sustainable/eco-friendly means of making it.

20n has existing Fortune 500 customers with great incoming revenue. We are also backed by Khosla Ventures, YCombinator, and DARPA. Our core technology is a data mining and machine learning platform for biological data. We routinely distribute using Spark, write approximation algorithms for NP-complete problems, and push the software predictions to robots that build the microbes at lab-in-the-clouds. We are looking for experts in genetic engineering, machine learning, and algorithms, who want to engage in new ways to manipulate and use biology!

Companies: PLEASE put a one/two-line description of your product/company in your job posts. I get that you're fast-growing, you're looking for someone who inspires and contributes, you're early-stage, you're changing the fintech/medical/adtech/ai world. What Are You Actually Doing???

At least a few hours ago when we were submitting it kept returning a "message too long" error even for fairly short messages. Seems like a bug that was short lived cause there are many long posts now. So that is probably why the older posts are lighter on details.
