Upcoming (www.upcoming.nl) - Amsterdam, The Netherlands (No remote, but we'll relocate you) - Full Stack Software Engineer

===== About us =====

Upcoming is a Dutch 'listicle' website (a listicle is an article consisting of a list of funny/informational/sentimental/whatever stuff). We've been growing continuously since we launched last year, already reaching 10% of the Dutch population with zero € spent on marketing. We’re (an independent) part of Telegraaf Media Groep, one of the biggest publishers of The Netherlands.

===== Abour our tech stack =====

We use python in the backend (Flask, Celery+RabbitMQ), and manage the frontend with Jinja2, jQuery, LESS and Grunt; persistence is done with MySQL and Redis. The deployments are automated, in a Continuous Integration environment. Our backend is developed in-house, with state-of-the-art publishing related features such as:

- Monitoring of 1000's of rss feeds from news websites, in order to detect trending articles all around the globe.

- Advanced analysis of our own articles' metrics, for automatically promoting them among our publication channels (this is aimed at maximizing virality).

- (Bayesian) Headline and thumbnail A/B testing

- Highly scalable click-through-rate optimizer, presented in a workshop of the ACM Recommender Systems conference in Hong Kong last year.

Since we're part of a big media group, some of these tools are now being used by other teams, reaching tens of millions of users every day.

===== What we're looking for =====

- CS degree and/or relevant web experience

- Ideally, someone who has spent some time across the whole stack, but we will consider people who consider themselves “just” a frontend or backend developer.

- Pragmatism

- Python experience not mandatory - just show us that you’d be willing to learn and that you’re smart :)

===== What we offer =====

- A perfect balance between working on innovation projects and “regular” web development, both with short and iterative development cycles.

- The flexibility and dynamism of working in a startup, with the strong stability of being part of a big company.

- An international environment, with people from all over the world (UK, Italy, Romania, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and more)

- Thorough relocation assistance, regardless of where you’re coming from

- A competitive salary

- 25 vacation days

- Amsterdam! You’ll be living in one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

If you’re interested, drop me a line: m.neustadt(at)tmg.nl

Hipmunk

San Francisco, CA - close to Caltrain

Experienced iOS, frontend specialists, and fullstack web.

We're always open to good backend and Android engineers as well.

http://www.hipmunk.com/jobs

We're a high-standards group with a lot of pride in our products, code, and people. We understand consumer scale and data (Reddit co-founder & engineers) and aspire to build products that customers love. We've had success due to this, consistently getting 4-5 star reviews on app/play stores and net promoter scores at or above the best in the tech industry.

We're friends first and enable you to do your best work. Processes are light and trust is high. At 26 engineers we're not so big where you can't know everyone well and have an impact, but not so small where it's chaos and you don't have anyone to learn from. We value learning and growth (and not having bored people) and invest regular time in doing so. For example, every other Friday is open time for you to do stuff that helps you be a better engineer.

We're looking for folks that love all of the above and can help us raise our standards. You can email us at jobs-2014@hipmunk.com if you're interested!

http://3QAYJ.com looking for 1-2 REMOTE WEB DEV - Full time

- 1) What’s the best thing about your current job?

- 2) What’s the worst thing about your current job?

- 3) What things could you wish for to make your current work better?

These were the questions I asked my team in an email in June 2014. The intention was to use their answers to better understand and prepare a job posting in order to attract similar minded people to our company.

Their response however surprised me:

- "The best thing in my current job is free of implementation ways and time limits..."

- "Flexible work hours (and even days!). Ability to move to another place any time. Good team."

- "The best thing is freedom in ways to resolve the tasks. When I'm choosing tools, libraries or approaches I'm free to pick whatever will be the best for task. And not limited by some company policies as it was on previous jobs..."

- "The working flow standards... Company trusted politic... Team voice... The happy team... Strict and smart team lead..."

- "No hierarchy. Almost :) I feel we work not only for one person but for the company, moving this business forward - that's really inspiring."

Please review full answers here http://3QAYJ.com

In my opinion their answers were better than any job posting I could have done. It inspired me to rethink the whole way we normally post a job. When looking for skilled likeminded people to join our team we shouldn’t make a job post; rather we should make a “company pitch”. Most job posts are dictating who you are and what you should do – a common sentence in a job post often goes like this: “you got a master degree in computer science and like to...” or “you will develop solution concepts by using...”. We don’t believe in such requirements. We don’t think of you as a work unit in a production line. Rather we seek talents and personalities whom we would want to invest in a relationship with. We firmly believe modern companies need to rethink the way in which they attract similar minded people. We must open our door and introduce our values; as this is the first step towards creating a bond. After all we are the team that want you to join us.

With that being said welcome to 3QAYJ.com (www.3QAYJ.com) – our company pitch project to attract you!

Our workflow is managed via

JIRA,CONFLUENCE

and all code submitting is handled through Github, pull request. On a daily basis we communicate via hipchat and each Monday we have a weekly meeting via skype to touch base.

Job description

Here is a list of some of the tools and technologize we currently use:

- Nginx

- git

- Capistrano

- compass (scss)

We appreciate if you have:

- skills in Magento development

- skills in web development in general

- skills or at least wants to get skills in mobile applications development (Android/iOS)

Good confirmations of your professionalism could be:

- any certificates (Magento MCD/MCDP, ZCE and so on)
