ONSITE on Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, LA Los Angeles (but remote for now) & ONSITE or REMOTE in Florianópolis, Brazil.

AE Studio is looking to hire

1. software developers with sufficient social skills to communicate with some interesting clients

2. full stack devs with plenty of experience with node and react and an ability to pick up new things fast

The first is a hybrid individual contributor/manager role with a lot of interesting challenges involved. We've found that the people who succeed best in them are entrepreneurial developers who love to code but also feel like they should try out "management" or have some freelance or entrepreneurial experience.

We have a pretty fun team of developers, data scientists, designers and PMs. We build products for startups like Protocol Labs and large companies like Samsung, and work on cool stuff in house. We’re particularly passionate about building products that increase human agency.

We’re currently building things like The Chicagoist for Chance the Rapper, computer vision for preventative medicine pee sticks, and a customizable merch platform with some cool computer vision and nlp behind it.

Totally separately: we're also hiring a human agency/brain-machine interface researcher.

Apply at https://ae.studio/join-us

Thanks for the question. Cost savings is one component, but it’s more of a strategic move that aligns with our company goals to reduce carbon emissions.

That's an answer that I can't help but respect!

Pioneer | REMOTE/ONSITE | Good Engineer | https://pioneer.app

Founder of Pioneer here.

We're building a fully remote online accelerator. A kind of YC-before-YC. We find people on the Internet that seem promising and give them "Silicon Valley", but on the Internet. It's a lot of gamification, Ruby software, Zoom, Slack, and fun. We've funded over 100 people around the world in 30+ countries. We direct them to YC once they graduate. (Tbc, we have no formal attachment to YC; just admiration. And a severe addiction to HN.)

We're looking for a competent software engineer that can do front and backend development. We're happy to take a bet on someone junior or senior. The interview process is much like the job: get a high level prompt, and then make a thing. That's it. Don't apply if you're looking to optimize tight C++ loops, we don't have that. Apply if you're interested in building products, end-to-end. Apply if you're energetic and excited about the idea. Apply if you can see this gig be a legitimate cornerstone of your career.

There's no formal ATS, it's a startup. Just email team@pioneer.app, mention this post.

I made a mistake of overthinking my initial assessment about 6 months ago. I have since learned a lot and have grown as an engineer. Does that mistake prevent my application from being considered?

We're looking for full-stack, front-end, and backend engineers with at least 2 years of professional experience who really care about helping schools raise money to provide high-quality education. Our mission is to help advance the quality, affordability, and accessibility of education. Many on our team come from the industry as former Directors of Annual Giving or currently volunteer for their alma mater, so we're looking for people who want to make a difference in the accessibility of education.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails, backed by Postgres and Redis, with vanilla JS and React on the front-end. We're still a small engineering team, so if you're looking to join a fast-growing startup and have an immediate impact, please apply at https://jobs.lever.co/givecampus?team=Engineering with a bit about why you're passionate about education, and a project you've working on that you're particularly proud of.

I just finished going thru recruiting with Amazon and was told they are "aggressively hiring right now"

I can confirm that Amazon is aggressively hiring across our business. I am a hiring manager at Amazon and am hiring Product Managers, SDM's and SDE's. Doing phone screens daily and multiple "loops" virtually. We're also on-boarding people at home by sending them equipment and working with them remotely to get up to speed. We live in interesting times!

As an Amazonian, I hope this gets baked into the culture!
