Carbonite (http://www.carbonite.com) - Boston, MA

Carbonite leads the consumer cloud backup category with nearly 1.5 million paying customers and 85% retention rates.

We are looking for engineers to join our Labs team, a small team that ships MVP apps to test viability and explore new possibilities for the company. We have a startup feel, with the financial backing of an established company.

We are looking for people excited about new technologies and working full-stack. We write a lot of services in Python, so if you love Python you'll fit right in. Some of the other stuff we work with: AWS (EC2, CloudFormation, S3, etc), Cassandra, AngularJS, Chef, and many more. We write clients for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android.

We work in Scrum, release every 2 weeks, and iterate based on user feedback.

If you're interested in the position, send me an email with some info about yourself, a resume and your Github (if you have one).

My name is Dustin and I am an engineer on the Labs team. I look forward to hearing from you!

In that article under "Exemptions and Treaties" [1], it says that Canada is exempt. Does that mean Canadians can work at SpaceX? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_...

I remember mentioning that I'm a Canadian student to whomever I spoke on the phone with from SpaceX, and they said no, but I don't know if they knew about this exemption, or if SpaceX is just generally very broad in this regard to make things easier.

I think what is being discussed is a TN Visa for Canadian citizens. Generally, it is very easy for any Canadian to come work in the U.S. as they just need to go to the boarder to have some paperwork signed off for their TN Visa. But, the problem with SpaceX is that we have to follow ITAR Regulations and can only employ permanent residents (U.S. Citizens and Green Card Holders). TN Visa Holders unfortunately do not fall within either of those groups. If anyone is interested in working at SpaceX, then definitely apply or contact me. Cheers!

Interesting. May I ask you - did you get a lot of emails from otherwise experienced candidates (e.g. 8+ years C++, etc...), or maybe the noise comes from the people who plan their first language to be Go? Thanks

Both. This ad works better than any other ad in this thread. :)

So it was your intention to get an attention of such a wide audience. I mean, some other posts here try to narrow the potential candidates pool.

In case you're interested - one of the main reason I didn't apply - I got an impression that this company can't provide a silicon valley level comparable compensations for senior engineers (I fall into "otherwise experienced" group). I might be wrong though...

Requirements: Burning passion to build (strategy) games for gamers (not 35 year old moms) Experience in developing kickass games with unity

Please send me an email: felix@hardscoregames.com

Felix Founder

5 Reasons to move to Berlin (thanks Node.js - great summary) 1. Lowest livings costs with highest standard of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun + we have Car2Go and Drive-Now (these are world's best smartphone-supported car sharing systems with brand new cars at every corner, cheaper than owning a car or riding a cab). In addition, Germany has an amazing social health care system including health, unemployment and pension (when working as an employee). 2. A vibrant and fast growing ecosystem of smart people. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs are moving to Berlin, every day (Twitter, Google, Soundcloud, Early Bird, Mozilla and many more). 3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn German, everyone speaks English! Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events, every week. 4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one. 5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth. Berlin is calling and getting the new tech hub of Europe. If you are passionate about building great software, we’d love to talk with you. If you don't live in Berlin yet, we could help to fix that.
