We are solving the problem of paper Checks. Contrary to popular opinion paper Checks are not going away, in fact according the 2016 report by the Federal Reserve 17.2 Billion paper Checks were sent in 2015, transferring a sum of money 5X times VISA/MC combined!

We’ve built a way to send images of Checks instantly in email and the recipient can Deposit them online by verifying their bank account instantly. Furthermore building and enabling a Blockchain for settlement enables instant verification and disbursement. Basically we are doing to paper Checks what Stripe and Square of have done to the Credit Card space.

We’re Seed stage, seeing high growth, have a small but great team and super investors (Tim Draper, Naval Ravikant/Levin Laws of Angelist thru one of their angels funds, our customers and many more )

Looking for both a back-end as well as a front-end engineer. Need to have a strong background in being able to write scalable software, preferably multi-paradigm, disciplined. - I’m the Founder of the company - this is a “co-founder” level opportunity - you’ll be working with me and other core people in the team. Work hard - play hard.

Our tech stack is Python, Angular, Postgres.

We move fast - if you’ve done a hackathon - we’ll probably want to do one with you and it’ll be clear if we are a mutual fit for each other

EHDA | Software Engineer, QA, Devops | Paris, France | ONSITE, REMOTE | Full-time

Euler Hermes Digital Agency (EHDA) https://ehda.co

We are a small innovation team, backed by Euler Hermes, the world leader in trade credit insurance. We try to bring together its expertise and extensive database with the mindset of a software company to develop new products in a digital world. We think there is currently a massive untapped opportunity to seize, in a vast but complex and strongly regulated market, and we believe we are uniquely positioned to capture it.

Our main product at the moment is a REST(-ish) API, allowing other platforms to include our insurance product. Think travel insurance tickbox, but for the risk of not getting your invoice paid on time. It is developed in C#/.NET and hosted on Azure. We also have some systems on AWS, and upcoming products, tools or test suites developed in Python and JavaScript.

We already have multiple customers in production and are scaling up. The team working on these products is still quite small (around 10 people), so your exact role will depend more on your abilities than a rigid description. Overall, we need software, QA and devops engineers.

We try our best to maintain a fantastic team in a diverse, welcoming and relaxed work environment. We offer competitive salaries, depending on profile, education, experience.

If you are interested, please reach out to sami (at) ehda.co (CTO) with your resume.

Open Listings | https://www.openlistings.com | Los Angeles, CA | full-time | onsite

We're fixing the user experience of shopping for and purchasing a home, while making it dramatically more efficient and affordable. High level engineering + UX problems:

- show people homes they'll like

- help them collaborate with their co-buyers on a decision

- provide delightful on-demands tours

- provide a seamless online transaction process

...all while interfacing with the existing marketplace that is basically a distributed ebay run by real estate agents on cell phones.

It's fun, it's ambitious, and little by little we're making housing more affordable.
