PayPal | San Jose, CA | Fulltime | Onsite (relocation available) | Hiring Javascript Application Engineers & Java API Engineers

PayPal is looking for JavaScript engineers who want to work both in the browser and on the server-side in Node.js. Over the past couple of years, we've worked hard to migrate our entire web application stack to Node and powerful client-side apps and we're looking to turn the dial towards product experimentation and innovation. We need your engineering ability and your desire to be a part of the whole product!

I’m a manager on the Online Checkout (that’s the “Pay with PayPal” button and experience) engineering team. We're looking for experienced JavaScript developers. My team is currently working primarily with Angular on the client and Express/Kraken on Node. If you've got experience with GraphQL or React, we're actively exploring doing an inside-out migration of our application and could use your expertise. As most Node shops go, we're leveraging a whole lot of other open source tools as well and we're very supportive of open source activities for our people.

Likewise -- there's a large demand for API focused Java engineers to help with our payment services that serve over $100+B in payments across 200+ countries. The PayPal Platform is a suite of web services, which are used by internal and external developers to enable payments anytime, anywhere and anyway. The Platform processes billions of requests each month, and enables PayPal and its partners to rapidly innovate on new payment scenarios and enable new experiences. Therefore, the evolution of the Platform is integral to PayPal’s long-term strategy.

As an engineer in our development team you will be responsible for the development and delivery of the web services supporting PayPal APIs and user experiences on various channels (web, mobile, etc.), as well as integrations with partners. You will work closely with product and experience and/or integration teams to understand the developer needs and deliver the APIs that meets their needs.

JavaScript / Node JS Application Engineers: https://jobsearch.paypal-corp.com/en-US/job/node-js-software... Java API Engineers: https://jobsearch.paypal-corp.com/en-US/job/senior-checkout-...

We have several openings within my team as well as within other teams--so drop me a line even if my particular opening doesn't sound interesting and I'll help you find the right place! You can contact me at swesthafer at paypal dot com.

New York Stock Exchange | https://www.nyse.com | New York, NY | Senior web developer | ONSITE | Full-time

We are looking for quick learners who enjoy working with modern software development tools in the financial and capital markets space.

Knowledge of specific frameworks or libraries is less important than a broad knowledge of software development practices, and an ability to learn.

At the NYSE, we are building customer-facing web applications with tons of referential data and many downstream systems.

Must haves:

1. Significant experience developing web applications and web sites.

2. Very solid experience with JavaScript frameworks. Particularly, React.

3. Relational database experience.

4. An understanding of automated testing and when it’s an asset and when it’s a liability.

5. Clear, concise coding skills. Your code is more often described as "clean and elegant" than "clever."

6. A healthy amount of patience for firewall/infrastructure navigation. We use modern stacks and have access to most tools, but still operate in a regulated environment.

Qualifications / Requirements: https://gist.github.com/silviogutierrez/fad88f1a917743ea5f23...

Shibboleths: https://gist.github.com/silviogutierrez/38996b3421ff946d6eb0...

Truss | Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer | San Francisco or REMOTE | https://truss.works

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about: * Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing * The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy * Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools * Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc. * Experience deploying at least one application that other people use * Have held at least one engineering position post-education * Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

Atlantic Media | Senior Web Developer, National Journal | Washington, DC | Onsite | Full-Time

Hey all, my team is looking to add another senior developer into the mix. We work with journalists, data scientists, and political researchers to build membership-based tools that make sense of DC politics (political analysis, election tracking, events going on around DC, and other curated/custom-created resources).

Our team is relatively small (4 devs). We're all pretty full-stack with varying competencies, but we spend most of our days in Python/Django, building APIs and ingesting/delivering data. A nowhere-near-exhaustive list of other stuff we work in includes PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Neo4j, MongoDB, Gulp, jQuery, Jenkins, Selenium, Nginx, and Redis.

Main things I like about this team: - Work-life balance is pretty great - Full autonomy over our tech stack - Interesting problems to solve - Team members are a lot of fun
