Jibe | New York, NY | Full-time Software Engineer | ONSITE

About Jibe: We are pushing the limits of single page cross-domain web application development. Our code needs to run in some of the most hostile environments: within other people’s web pages and on dozens of browsers around the globe. In order to be successful we are using JavaScript to help automate the front-end development workflow using tools like NodeJS, Grunt, and AngularJS.

Responsibilities:

* Help/Lead in the development of new highly-responsive, web-based user interface components and modules using AngularJS and React. * Build visualizations that correctly portray large amounts of data in an industry-leading analytics portal. * Build flexible and well-structured front/back-end architectures, that is api driven. * Build microservices to support the scaling of internal and external applications.

Requirements:

* Experience building client side web applications (single page web apps, RIA) * Expert knowledge of Javascript * Understanding of NodeJS or JavaScript environments outside of the browser * Experience with single page web app design / frameworks * Cross browser development techniques * Understanding of modular JavaScript techniques

I'm sdaniels@jibe.com (an Engineering Manager for a different team). Feel free to apply via email (javascript_careers@jibe.com) or email me directly to talk about the role / get an inside track.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anonymous review: I tried this process because it sounded pretty fun and unique. One warning I have for anyone interested is that there are some big waiting times involved. I'll share my timeline. Some of the lags were on my end, but I was assured I had as much time as I needed. - Day 0-6 - First contact - Day 7 - Assigned work sample - Day 21 - Submitted work sample - Day 62 - Work sample results returned - Day 72 -…

Oof, bummer. Your experience is slower than average. We ran into a grading crunch when we launched our Enterprise product. When you submit your work to us, your submission is anonymous. Three engineers grade each submission. Platform Engineers will experience the greatest wait periods. The other roles tend to be quicker. Expected time-frame: * Proceed from application to work sample: 24 hours. * Complete work sample:…

It's hard to see how you can have much success with this method. Current recruiting strategies involve getting from recruiter telephone call to final decision within 2 weeks, or 1 if possible. The faster you move on a candidate the more likely they end up working for you. At my current employer initial phone conversation, telephone interview and on site were all within 7 days.

Factual - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Bing, Apple, Facebook and Groupon.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

You can email me personally at alexr@factual.com, or view our job postings here: https://www.factual.com/jobs#openings
