Uber | http://people.uber.com | Seattle (& San Francisco) | Visa OK* On-site

Uber is opening a new engineering/product/design office in Seattle and we're hiring across those disciplines, plus data science and product marketing.

A number of our new projects that have not been started or announced yet will be built up there, so this is a unique opportunity to work on something totally new with plenty of whitespace to define. You can find out more about what its like to work at Uber and the hard problems we are solving @ http://people.uber.com.

We also are of course hiring across the board here in San Francisco too.

Check out:

- Seattle - https://www.uber.com/jobs/list?keywords=&location=Seattle,%2....

- San Francisco - https://www.uber.com/jobs/list?keywords=&team=Engineering&lo....

If you want to apply directly or have any questions please email me: benm [at] uber. As you can see from my profile, I'm not a recruiter I run a team that works on these projects.

* = Visa's ok but at this point next available new H1B date is for work beginning Oct 2016 so probably more feasible for existing H1B holders, E2 (Australian) etc.

I (data scientist, employee 14) stoked about working there too. Lots of problems (and lots of and lots of data) and good people to work on them with.

What we’re looking for (https://jobs.lever.co/distilnetworks?lever-via=3TYvimYmGi):

- Senior Lua Developer - Our next generation of bot blocking technology will be built with NGINX and Lua. Make it go fast!

- Senior Solutions Architect / Solutions Engineer - The nitty-gritty work of getting customers hooked into our network and happy with the performance.

- QA Automation Engineer - Automate testing all the things! These folks are surprisingly tough to find.

- Front End Engineer - Change the face of what our customers see.

- Senior Javascript Engineer - We need deep, framework-less, JavaScript experience to build fast bot-fingerprinting systems on the frontend.

- Ruby/Rails Developer - Our customer facing systems are Ruby/Rails and we need more help.

- DevOps Engineer - We run a vast global network and East/West coast engineering teams that need support.

Sparkcentral | San Francisco, CA | Full Time Engineering Manager

Looking to build something extraordinary?

In less than 3 years, Sparkcentral has become an industry thought-leader that is revolutionizing the way enterprises help and engage customers. Our goal is to inspire and enable amazing customer experiences, and we’re doing this by completely reimagining what enterprise customer service software should look like.

Sparkcentral is starting to scale, supported by the great customer relations we’ve built with the most amazing brands out there.

Many large companies such as Uber, Dropbox, Netflix, T-Mobile, and Delta Airlines have chosen Sparkcentral.

Management at Sparkcentral is very different. So we expect you to be a little different as well.

You, as the manager, are responsible for unblocking your team. You need to provide leadership, not micromanagement. You are here to help engineers achieve their goals and ambitions, provide great communication, and to help engineers ship the product.

You are responsible for setting the culture in your team. That culture is to make sure every engineer is happy, unblocked, doing whatever it takes to help an engineer ship, and to ensure that are no politics while doing all the above. Sparkcentral is all about output. It doesn’t matter if someone is in the office 25 hours a week, so long as the team ships great things.

You are not just a manager, but also an engineer. You must understand how engineers think, what they crave, how much to put on their plate, when to prioritize engineer initiatives, and be able to deliver that repeatedly.

We want you if this sounds like what you can provide as a manger. You’ll be a serious contender if you have 4+ years of experience in an agile, startup as either a lead engineer or experience in a management capacity. Working with teams in different locations is a huge plus. You must have been an engineer for a few years at some point in your career. We don’t want people out of touch.

Did we mention how we are hiring rapidly, and making our engineering team exponentially larger? Yeah, talk about a challenge and an opportunity to excel.
