NoRedInk | Front-end, Backend, Infrastructure Engineer | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using OpsWorks and Chef. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re hiring both engineers who have been around the block many times, as well as those who started their careers just a couple years ago. We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

Snowplow Analytics (http://snowplowanalytics.com) | Support Engineer | REMOTE UTC+8 to UTC+10

You will be supporting the Snowplow Managed Service, under which we orchestrate and monitor the Snowplow event pipeline for over 100 customers.

10x Genomics | Pleasanton & San Francisco, CA | Onsite | 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company creating novel software, chemistry, and microfluidic systems to allow better understanding of the genome. We're looking to grow our software team of currently six engineers (including myself) to support the rapid adoption of our technology. We've seen a growing number of high profile publications that use our technology (https://www.10xgenomics.com/publications/). One recent notable application was led by scientists from UCSF and the Broad who developed a CRISPR-based genomic screen called Perturb-seq (http://www.10xgenomics.com/news/10x-genomics-chromium-single...).

You can view a demo of an existing piece of visualization software at http://loupe.10xgenomics.com/loupe/, or read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines at http://software.10xgenomics.com. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux (previously Angular 1), but we're always open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of folks here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious.

We're currently hiring for several software roles, but specifically for senior generalists, senior UI engineers, QA engineers, and infrastructure engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

- Senior Software Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274521/

- Senior UI Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274522/

- Linux / Infrastructure Engineer - https://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/537730/

- Software Quality Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/476114/

- Software Quality Engineer (Computational Biology) - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/472908/

Just a note that we do have an office in San Francisco even though the listings only specify Pleasanton. Our full page of job listings can be found at http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/. Reach out if you're interested in working on high impact, big data problems using modern software development best practices or even if you just want to chat. You can reach me at kevin.wu@10xgenomics.com or @kevinwuhoo.

iRobot | Software Engineers | Bedford, MA and Pasadena, CA | ONSITE

iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really.

If you want to work with a bunch of friendly humans and robots, you should consider iRobot. We've got a great culture, benefits, and products.

Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside of Boston, MA.

We're looking for people to do embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance), test, and hardcore robotics as well. Those aren't the same person, mind you. We're also looking for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers.

We use mostly C and C++, with some Python along the way as well.

You do NOT need any robotics experience - I had none when I joined!

Check out our careers site and email me if anything looks interesting:

Please email me at csvec, the at sign, then the company domain.
