I take it you are still following your own hiring process and haven't been bluewashed yet?

Yes. Our process actually meshes with IBM's reasonably well, people still have to go through the IBM recruiting system (very late in our process) but it's not used for any screening / decisions.

Segovia | www.thesegovia.com | NY, NY | ONSITE | FULLTIME | Software to fight extreme poverty.

Segovia makes it possible to identify, verify, and deliver cash to people who lack access to banking. Over a billion people worldwide receive social protection or economic aid, but NGOs and governments operate anti-poverty programs without modern enterprise tools, resulting in significant fraud, waste, and delay. Our beneficiary enrollment and payment products dramatically improve the distribution of essential resources to those who are hardest to reach.

Segovia is a venture-backed, mission-driven, for-profit company, and we are hiring exceptional full-stack software engineers who share in our vision. Our team includes the founders of cash transfer charity GiveDirectly and early engineers from Facebook and Foursquare. Our investors include Reid Hoffman, Omidyar Network, and Global Innovation Fund.

Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on more than 95% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

If you're interested in engineering or technical program manager roles, drop us an email: aui-hn (@) amazon (.) com

San Francisco, Atlanta and Sheffield UK. Distributed team so REMOTE encouraged.

Convox, YC S15, is hiring support and system engineers to help us build out simple and reliable open source devops tools and platform.

Us cofounders are ex Heroku bringing tons of experience in dev tools and operations to share with everyone.

Interview process involves short hangouts to meet the team, then a paid contract starter project so we all learn first hand what it's like to work together. A take home contract is ok if taking a half day or day off is not feasible.

AWS, Docker, Go, Linux experience will help for systems engineering. Rails, Meteor, Node and Postgres experience will help support our customers.

https://convox.com/jobs

Finally if you are hiring for dev ops experience I also suggest you check Convox out. We can help your existing team get the job done without hiring or building bespoke devops systems.
