Blend | https://blendlabs.com/jobs/ | San Francisco | Software Engineer

The last 10 years saw a massive boom in the US real estate market fueled by troubled loans buyers couldn’t afford. An even larger bust followed, with losses of $2.8 trillion along with the homes of more than 14 million Americans. While the economy has since improved, many processes within the mortgage industry have not. Gains have been made primarily in paperwork and manpower, not technology. Operations remain manual and slow and consumers are not happy.

At Blend, we're fixing these problems by replacing the archaic software currently in use at lending institutions with a modern system. We're applying today's data analysis tools and consumer-grade UI/UX to streamline home lending for both borrowers and banks and make the entire process more transparent.

Our team of 20 includes engineers formerly at Palantir, Google, Stanford, MIT, CMU, and Caltech, and we're backed by Peter Thiel, Formation 8, Andreessen Horowitz, Max Levchin, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our stack includes NodeJS, Spark, AngularJS, Python, and ElasticSearch.

Kansas City, USA area (Overland Park/Olathe), Experienced C/C++ Window Developer

We're a tiny team working on Windows-based network and server monitoring products. You'll wear many hats including a lot of development, some QA, some customer support (great way to stay tuned in to customer pain points), maybe a bit of web dev...?

We have a firm no asshole rule -- life is too short to deal with egos. If you have to work for a living, this a nice place to spend the day. Calm, fairly quiet, professional, and very friendly. You'll be working very closely with me (owner/developer). Not looking for a yes-man -- if you disagree, please speak up and defend your point. We try very hard to do what is right when coding, dealing with customers, etc.

The company is boot strapped and profitable, which means no investors to tell us what to do. We release code when it's ready, not based on an arbitrary deadline. We're small, but customers (and competition) think we're big (that's why the company name isn't mentioned here -- contact me via profile and I'll send you to the website).

We work pretty much 8-5 Monday through Friday, hour for lunch, yada yada yada. When we go home, we leave work at work.

I'm afraid we can't sponsor visas, greencards, etc. We're looking for local candidates at this time.

Looking for the best mix of speed and quality that we can find :) * Great C/C++ skills with Visual Studio (Win32) * Very comfortable writing performant and robust multi-threaded code * Great debugging skills * Good understanding of network concepts (DNS, DHCP, HTTP at protocol level, SNMP, etc) * Comfortable editing HTML in notepad (i.e. not dependent on a fancy editor) * Basic Javascript skills * Good communication skills. After implementing a feature, you'll need to write a page of documentation about it for customers. You'll also talk with customers, and with the rest of the team as we discuss features, design and implementation. * Quick learner - the project is large and your help will be very appreciated

Very nice to have: * QT experience (hoping to someday port Windows client app to QT for use on iOS and Android as well as Windows) * Linux programming and admin experience * Python (it's embedded in our app and used a bit -- would be nice to use more) * CSS -- would be nice to have someone with an eye for design * Comfortable with SQL * Experience using VMWare ESX or Hyper-V * D3.js exposure

Nice to have: * Experience with MFC. Mostly just for simple dialogs * ASP.NET experience * C# experience

Technologies used: * MS SQL Server and SQLite * C/C++ (Visual Studio 2012) * .NET (C#) * STL and some Boost * CEF (Chromium embedded browser) * IPWorks * libssh2 * OpenSSL * Python * ASP.NET (website) * AmCharts and DotNetCharting * Sencha (ExtJS)

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================

We're the single source of truth in logistics data -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and every truck on the ground so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world. We do a lot of analysis and optimization, too. We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.

The problem -> To try to decrease costs, carries have been increasing the size of container ships. The only problem there is that as container ships get larger, the variability in the global supply chain goes up (e.g. a large ship being late causes a headache to more people than a small one).

How we fix it -> We track every ship on the water and run a bunch of analysis on our data sets so that we can help our customers smooth out the rough edges. (One company we're working with spends 6.5 mil every month on “late fees” because of these rough edges).

   ===========================
   ===== How we do it ========
   ===========================

Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR (we’re a SOA shop)

Mobile -> iOS, android in the near term

Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)

   ===========================
   ====== And the rest =======
   ===========================

We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from CPG companies and telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z, atlas)!

Looking for help on hardware and data science sides! (also looking for experimentalists for fun hedge fund stuff)
