Game Closure | Engineer | SALARY: $120k - $220k | REMOTE preferred | VISA ok San Francisco Bay area (SF) | Tokyo, Japan | Seoul, Korea

Game Closure is profitable, recently raised $40M, and we know how to hire and work remotely, which has been our primary mode of operation for the past 2 years. We are still scaling up during this time, especially with the increase in great engineers who will now consider remote work.

Game Closure is building the world's most advanced javascript game technologies, including an engine, server infrastructure, analytics and marketing, among other cool products. We are hiring senior engineers who can tackle architecture and APIs for our game technology on small teams of 3-4 folks, as well as the games themselves. Game Closure has raised $90M, and has more than 300M users supported by a small team of engineers We are looking for folks to work on our engine and server technologies, the games themselves, or both. For flavor: We maintain our own redux-like lambda-style append-only database for more than 300M users; other examples of projects include when we used code mods to port our engine from a propriety module and class system to es6. There are numerous projects ongoing, such as first class typescript support to facilitate better tooling and API documentation, a react-powered webgl-based UI system, and our own in-house ads bidding system.

We have projects for hosted real-time multiplayer gaming, social gaming, cross-compilation to native platforms, and many other core infrastructure tools that we would welcome your support on defining and creating

Here are a couple example reviews of games we’ve built:

- Snake Squad for Snapchat: https://techraptor.net/gaming/opinions/every-available-snapc...

- Everwing for FB messenger: https://www.dageeks.com/digital/everwing-dageeks-game-review...

Our technologies and engine have already been in front of hundreds of millions of users, and we're adding millions of new users monthly. This is a high leverage position, and very senior. We prefer remote work from any timezone because we're looking to build the best small engineering team in the world, but we do make office space available in Tokyo, Mountain View, San Francisco, Seoul, and Sofia. For the right hire we will be flexible to obtain a visa to anywhere where we have offices if it helps.

We are also actively looking for folks across range of leadership roles in product, engineering, and operations.

Khan Academy | Mountain View, CA and REMOTE USA/CANADA | Senior Backend / Fullstack | https://khanacademy.org/careers We're a non-profit with a mission to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. It's a big mission that we're taking on step by step. While we want anyone to be able to get a great education independently, we've been focusing a lot on trying to help teachers working in their classrooms…

I love how it says 'if you're not a household name explain what your business does', and you go on to explain Khan Academy. haha everyone knows y'all! You guys are legends. Thanks for the kind and generous work you do over there!

Actually, I'd say that even if they think they're a household name, they should still explain what they do. I'm not very tuned into the consumer economy and there are likely a lot of "household names" I've never heard of.

It gets old researching every company name that's not familiar :-(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh, right you are! My mistake, which is funny because I worked on the engineering principles. The engineering principles take our overall organization values and lay out engineering-specific takes on them. I haven't seen the organization values posted publicly, but one of the top line values is "Work responsibly and sustainably" and I can say firsthand that this is something we talk about in management meetings.

^ Eng manager here at Khan, I can vouch for this!! We have a huge emphasis on work life balance on our team.

+1... Software Engineer here at Khan. I can confirm that as well, and I can say with all confidence that we have a good work-life balance here :)

We have experience building and operating mission critical databases, cloud services with millions of hosts, and self tuning feedback control systems. We want to reduce tickets and improve availability by an order of magnitude through automation. We are well funded and based in Redwood City, California and Iasi, Romania.

Have you designed, built, and operated distributed systems? Love correctness, fault tolerance, and scalability? Shoreline is hiring distributed systems engineers to build our core product: a programmable & distributed control plane designed for scalability, fault tolerance, and portability.

What you'll be doing

- Implementing a distributed control plane in Elixir / Erlang and verifying, formally and through tests, to guarantee correctness and fault tolerance.

- Defining the semantics of the distributed ops language and implementing the distributed runtime.

- Designing & implementing a distributed event recognition and signalling system.
