CTO -- Bangalore, India -- VISA

Babajob helps people at the bottom of the pyramid elevate their class level by finding a better job.

2014 was awesome for us. We added 2 million job seekers, 50,000 employers, grew to 60 employees and launched two amazing products. We’re well-funded and have healthy cash flow.

In the next year, we must go from handling 20,000 missed calls a day now to 200,000; from 1m desktop and mobile visitors a month to 20 million, from a Dev team of 9 to 50 and an operations and sales team of 25 to 250.

We’re looking for someone who has lived through this kind of growth and company transformation at another startup, because we haven’t and could use some steady hands. We’re looking for someone with the charisma to attract and inspire a stellar collection of developers, designers and PMs.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone passionate about not only scaling something huge, but scaling something that changes the world for the better.

If this sounds beyond interesting to you, email our CEO Sean Blagsvedt at {first_name}@babajob.com.

Mashable - Full Time, New York City (Remote available) Mashable is looking to hire developers/devops candidates to work on our Velocity platform - effectively a web crawler that feeds our data science and NLP engines. Key areas of expertise would include JRuby, Java, Python, message brokers (RMQ in our case), Postgres/Mongo (tokumx)/Elasticsearch, Puppet, and AWS. We deploy on RHEL and CentOS. If you're a Ruby develo…

I'd never heard of tokumx, but that would have be nice to know about when dealing with a large bioinformatics project I did on mongo, I'll have to check it out!

Is the remote US only or ?

FYI, if you interview with these guys, be prepared to be left hanging. I did a coding interview with them and heard absolutely nothing back afterwards. Whether or not a company wants to hire you, it's common courtesy to at least respond with "we've decided to consider other candidates" or whatever. Saying nothing is poor form.

Thanks for the interview. Since I only interviewed very few people from my post last month, I have a good idea of who you are.

The reason you haven't heard back yet is because the most recent interview round is still on-going and a decision has not been reached yet. You should expect to hear back this week.

Not condoning what they did, but saying nothing seems to be par for the course, based on limited personal experience, and a lot of chatter from colleagues the past few years. Sad, but true.

Job poster here. I definitely do try to let the candidates know of the outcome once they make it past the coding interview phase. throwawaybcporn completed his interview fairly recently and a decision on that round of interviews had not been made yet. The candidates will hear back this week.

As with any startup, we are a small team doing a million things, and sometimes things (such as interview rounds) may take longer than they should because a critical need for the business was prioritized.

Remote possible for C++ dev? (from Europe)

One of our C++ devs is currently remote in the Czech Republic, so it is a possibility. Reasonably regular trips to London would be required.

We're big fans of tokumx. It's not perfect, but it's a big step up from vanilla Mongo right now (though the upcoming 3.0 changes with the new WiredTiger engine promise to catch up at least most of the way).

US residency is not a hard requirement - we currently employee Canadian and European developers in addition to our US-based staff.

Voxy - New York City - Full Time - Sr. Full Stack Engineer (H1B Visa transfer/renewal available)

Voxy is changing peoples lives for the better every single day. That’s not an overstatement, it’s the truth. Learning a new language is the single hardest things that you can ask an adult to do. We make it happen for 2.5 million people. Every. Single. Day.


Voxy provides a cloud-based English language learning platform that’s based on 20 years of cutting edge scientific research into language learning. It’s proven effective, in the lab and in the wild. It’s a tough problem, but that’s okay, we like tough problems and you should too.

We’re looking for engineers who want to join a growing start-up as we tackle the old-school entrenched players in a $80B/year industry that hasn’t seen any real innovation in decades. We’ve got a kick-ass culture, paying customers, top-tier investors, and we can make it happen.

Things that are important to us:

- Engineers. Real engineers. That means you problem solve first and write code second.
 - We’re about the right tool for the job. At the moment that’s Python, Backbone, MongoDB and Progress. In the future, maybe something else. 
 - We build our mobile solutions as native apps. 
 - We pair-program and follow Agile. Unless it’s not working, in which case we don’t.
 - Thirst for learning. What we’re working on today may be something different tomorrow, and as a company we support that.
 - Respect. We love new ideas and discussion, and while we don’t always agree with each other our strong opinions are loosely held.  


Competitive salary, stock, medical, dental, vision, etc. Yep, we’ve got that, plus a whole host of other benefits like CitiBike memberships, gym reimbursements, snacks, beer (to offset the gym memberships), unlimited vacation, free Mandarin/Spanish/French lessons, and a bunch of other stuff. HQed in NoHo, with offices in Chelsea and São Paolo, we are situated amidst multiple train lines, restaurants, coffee shops, bike stores, bars, gyms, fashion, galleries and general NY excellence.

If you’ve got the chops and you’re a real engineer, even if you don’t currently use our stack, let’s talk.
