Smarkets, London, UK. Sorry, no remote.

We're always looking for generalist, python-happy software engineers. If you know, or want to learn erlang, even better.

Smarkets is a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £600 million of bets since launching in 2010. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.

We are taking on the big players in the betting industry with the lean startup playbook. We think the commission charged by such players is too high, spelling for opportunity to do better.

We're building a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority. Whether you want to work on the trading exchange or the frontend, you'll be solving real and challenging problems - from scaling to optimising python to handling near real-time design constraints.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around version control, configuration management and automated testing. We can, and do, deploy to production several times a day.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Git and Chef - but we are not resistant to change as needed.

Are you someone who loves to dig into things, take them apart, and figure out how they work?

Do you not just use computers, but know how they work -- and how to exploit their weaknesses? Do you know how to make tools to get the job done?

Do you enjoy doing cutting edge security research and telling the world about it?

iSEC wants to hear from you!

iSEC Partners is looking for security-focused engineers and researchers to join our application security consulting and research practice. Job duties will include penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks. You will spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. This is a very creative job that gives individuals a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Typical engagements will pair you with another experienced security consultant who you will learn from and teach along the way. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long. In a year, you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer.

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

We're hunting for a Rails Developer to continue to build out our online advertising platform. We work at a scale where seemingly "small" improvements can have a big impact. In the last 24 hours, we served over 60 million impressions and processed over 6 billion total transactions.

You'd take ownership of the Rails app, which is the primary means of managing hundreds of campaigns running through our platform. This role is a great way to learn advertising tech as well as other tools. You'd get exposure to Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. In other words, this isn't just a boring, run-of-the-mill CRUD app.

Our team is sharp and works well together. While we enjoy perks such as paid lunch and unlimited vacation, the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work.

Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a senior dev on the team) at dlarsen@connexity.com. Informal inquiries are great.

Has anyone had success with this lately? I once posted a description of the company I work for, stating interested users should apply online. I also offered to answer any questions people had via email, which was a mistake. I probably got a dozen resumes from users unable to follow simple directions, mostly from kids in India that were going to finish school in 1-2 years. I also got spam from a few firms looking to f…

As an applicant, I landed an interview with Khan Academy and some other companies from these ads.

Although, the Khan Academy process involved many hours of mid-day Skype interviews, phone calls, and a relatively time-consuming take-home assignment followed by a curt thanks-but-no-thanks form letter and an encouragement that I volunteer for them. So ultimately not a success.

To be fair to Khan Academy, they seem to be part of a bigger trend towards increasingly time-consuming interview processes that span weeks or months. Start-up companies are in the enviable position of asking for higher investment from applicants, while not offering a higher return (perhaps the idea is that the possibility of landing the job should be its own reward -- but wouldn't this be mutually beneficial for both the applicant and the company?).

Or perhaps this is the logical extension of a community built on the idea of work-hard-first and (possibly-)get-compensated-later, or "long-term compensation" [0].

Not to say any of this is necessarily wrong or bad. Supply and demand will dictate what the job market can bear, and if a company is receiving a glut of talented applicants, it's their job to thin the herd the best way they know how.
