TripleLift - http://triplelift.com/ - New York, NY - Full Time

We're looking for all types of engineers to help scale our tech. We've found our product market fit and are growing quickly. I joined 18 months ago when we were 13 people are now over 50 and just moved into a new office space. We're currently focused on scaling our tech so there are lot of opportunities to do interesting and challenging work.

Our core product is a native advertising ad exchange that allows publishers (website owners) to ditch banner ads in favor of native ads that will allow them to design their sites the way they want without having to worry about monetization from the beginning. When they are ready they include a bit of JavaScript and we will dynamically resize/crop ads and leverage their existing HTML and CSS to make sure the ads fit with the look they're going for.

There's a lot of interesting work we're doing with computer vision, high performance networking, as well as quantitative engineering to help build out our bidders.

Feel free to email me at dgoldin@triplelift.com with any questions!

Remote contracting jobs at Sakurity for excellent security consultants (web app pentests). Contact info@sakurity.com

What are you good at? Programming languages you can (fluently) read, frameworks you worked with?

Examples of bugs you found, bounties you received. Ideally, please demonstrate your blog posts with interesting exploits, share your write-ups: what's most important is the way you think.

Your hourly rate, availability and payment options (Bitcoin is preferred). Try to estimate a blackbox pentest of, say, twitter.com: how many hours, total cost, what scope will be? Please impress us with your write-ups, explain the way you work and tools you use, you can even send a sample of code with a bug and we will try to understand it!

Here’s why I responded so badly to your rejection last month: You advertise “lots of room for personal growth,” and “Frontend, backend, junior, senior – if you have talent and passion you’ll fit in.” I’m currently severely underemployed doing IT stuff at a small organization, and I’m trying to switch to a development role. So, I applied for your company, and got rejected because I’m doing IT stuff. That was not just…

I understand that your job search has been frustrating, and I'm sorry you felt misled by our careers page. I'd prefer not to comment on our decision in this public forum, but feel free to reach out to me offline (you have my contact information of course) if you'd like to discuss further.

A note to companies: PLEASE do not put the word "remote" in your posting if you do not hire remote employees. It makes scanning for companies that do more difficult. People will assume by default that your company is only local. Edit: As suggested below, using "on-site only" is a much more find-friendly phrase.

If there were some standard format all listings used (e.g. REMOTE:TRUE, STATE:MA, etc) it would make 'ctrl+f'ing a lot easier.

in addition to 'ctrl+f' you might want to checkout: http://whereis-whoishiring-hiring.me/city/2015/4/REMOTE which does a pretty good job of removing the 'No Remo..' entries

Curalate www.curalate.com (NYC, Seattle or Philly) FT Fullstack engineers

WHO WE ARE: Curalate is the leading marketing and analytics suite for the visual web and a partner to more than 500 of the world’s most-loved brands. We’re a passionate team of visual thinkers, makers, and storytellers dedicated to helping brands create authentic connections with consumers through images. And we’re building something really powerful.

Much like the brands we work with, our people are nothing short of inspiring – and we’re looking to grow our team. If you’re scrappy, creative, curious, and FUN, then we think Curalate could be the place for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO: Join our team of 17 in tackling some of the gnarliest problems out there at the intersection of computer vision and big data.

You'll be expected to dive into our stack and toolkit, and start shipping code on day one. We're not hiring code monkeys; you'll be given substantial feature ownership, and we'll expect you to contribute product ideas as well as code.

OUR STACK: We're not language zealots; we believe in using the right tool for the job, and are comfortable with a polyglot codebase. That said, today we lean on:

Languages: Scala, Javascript Frameworks: Storm, Lift, Scalatra, Akka Infrastructure: AWS Databases: Cassandra, MySQL (RDS), DynamoDB, Redis, Memcached Front End: jQuery, Bootstrap

(Production experience with any of these technologies is not required. However, candidates will, at a minimum, want to have experience with an object-oriented language like Java, C++, or C#).

ABOUT YOU: Although experience with our existing technology stack is great, we're much more interested in hiring developers with exceptional problem solving skills, creative out-of-the-box thinking, and comfort with quickly learning, evaluating, and deploying new technologies. While we're not looking for any specific industry experience you should have at least two years of experience and come prepared to join a fast-moving team. Above all else, we're looking for others who are as excited about the potential in this space as we are, and who will be willing to join us in moving fast and breaking things as we execute against that vision.
