We are a fun group of passionate engineers who want their work to do good in the world. We are spread across the world, some in South America, some in Africa, some in the US. We work on interesting problems which span making a visual programming language that non-programmers can pick up scale to huge numbers of interactions. Lots of fun problems to solve.

TaskRabbit | Fullstack React.js / Ruby Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | Visa considered | https://tr.co/

Each day brings more chores and less time to accomplish them. Whether someone needs a handyman, house cleaner, mover or delivery person, TaskRabbit delights clients by matching the right skilled person in minutes. On the other side of the marketplace we help our Taskers earn a living by setting their own prices, defining their working hours, and give them control to help people when and how they want in the most supportive marketplace.

You'll be a member of our engineering team, helping us build out the web applications that drive our business. We have applications for clients to hire taskers, for taskers to register with the platform, and for our internal users to administer the service. We use React.js on the frontend, and Rails on the backend. We're ideally looking for a full stack engineer but would be thrilled to hire a competent front-end engineer who has aspirations to learn Rails someday.

SumUp | (Senior) Frontend Engineer (React/Node) | Berlin | ONSITE, VISA https://sumup.com

The people of SumUp have brought the best way to accept card payments to 15 countries so far, but we won’t stop there. Headquartered in London, SumUp's major offices are in Berlin, Sofia and São Paulo. The Berlin office alone comprises more than 130 people from more than 30 countries.

SumUp could be interesting for you as an engineer in part because we cover so many platforms: we have physical hardware (made right here in Berlin), our own proprietary payment processing platform, mobile apps on iOS and Android, SDKs and APIs supporting third-party integration, and of course (the main star, in this team's humble opinion) a merchant-facing web app.

The frontend team consists of 6 devs, looking to grow by several members. We are hiring both senior and mid-level developers:

>>> Senior Frontend Engineer: https://sumup.workable.com/j/E4A7BCCB2B

>>> Frontend Engineer: https://sumup.workable.com/j/10969B9646

You'll be a great fit if you have a passion for technical excellence, enjoy implementing beautiful designs, are comfortable working in a linux environment, and strive to learn something new every day!

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Santa Monica, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops 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.

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

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

* Database Expert

* Frontend Software Engineer, London & LA

* Junior Developer in Data Science

* Quantitative Analyst

* Software Engineer, London & LA

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ . (Quite some time ago I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/notes-on-interviewing-engineers-a4fa4... .)

TrueForm | QA / Tester | ONSITE | Woodinville, WA | Full-Time | https://trueform.io/

TrueForm | UX/UI Designer | ONSITE | Woodinville, WA | Full-Time | https://trueform.io/

Trueform is trying to re-invent how retail works. We are offering retail as a service. We rent slots in our store to brands who have one off products that they want to get into the hands of their customers. We have flexible options about selling.

Our stack is C# ASP.NET Core backend with a React, Typescript, WebPack front end. I want to throw Orleans in there eventually but right now we're focused on our front end.

About you: We need someone who is a self starter and takes ownership of the tasks they are assigned. If we ask you to design something we'll give you feedback as you see fit but if you have an idea we want to hear it! We don't expect the tester to have technical knowledge but interest in automation would be a huge plus. I'm sorry no developer positions right now.

Please email me elarge [at] apolloroboticstechnology [dot] com. (The company name is ApolloRoboticsTechnology, but we are Doing Business As TrueForm for our storefront)
