META If you need something more advanced than ctrl-f -̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶4̶ ̶p̶a̶g̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶ (pagination was removed) I made: https://hnjobs.emilburzo.com/ Click on "(syntax)" for inspiration.

Comment paging is turned off again. We only paginate threads when performance limits on our lonely single core that serves HN become perilous, and recent work by the intrepid sctb has bought us more breathing space. Who Is Hiring day will be a test of how far it goes, but for the time being you don't have to click through pages to read a large thread.

That's great!

(I hope the text-tone didn't come off the wrong way, I just wanted to offer an alternative to those that needed it)

Koru Kids | London | Full-time Onsite | Full Stack Ruby Engineer #2 | https://www.korukids.co.uk

Koru Kids is growing quickly. We’re on a mission to improve childcare in London, and looking for someone experienced, creative & friendly to join the team as our second full stack engineer.

We’re building a marketplace that enables families to find and share great quality nannies. To do this, we’re building great software for our families, supporting our matching team with critical tools that make complex matching problems a breeze, and using technology to supercharge our nanny recruitment and training processes.

We’re continuously improving our product, building key features that will move the needle in a big way. Instead of an endless product roadmap, we run short development cycles to test assumptions and make smart decisions quickly. This isn’t a sprint and there’s no project managers, we work closely with the rest of the business to make sure we deliver the most value to our customers.

Our stack uses Ruby for most of the backend, with Rails, PostgreSQL and Redis making up the majority of our core product. We use modern front end tooling, with ES6, React and Tachyons. When it comes to shipping code, we love GitHub code reviews and making CircleCI happy before anything gets into production. We mostly deploy to Heroku, with some heavy lifting on AWS. We favour feature flags over staging environments and deploy to production as often as we need to; deployment cycles shouldn’t get in the way of delivering value.

We’re looking for an experienced Ruby developer who thrives in small, fast-moving engineering teams.

If this sounds interesting, you can read more & apply at https://korukids.workable.com/jobs/622008 or email me directly at michael [at] korukids.co.uk
