Mason America | Backend, Devops, Full Stack, Android/Embedded Software Engineers | Seattle | Full Time | https://www.bymason.com

We're building "mobile infrastructure as a service" that enables businesses to automate deployment of their own Android-based device ecosystems. Think AWS but for devices.

We're pretty small at the moment, have revenue, and are poised to grow. We're looking for people to take on the following engg roles:

* Ownership of our backend architecture (currently Node.js on AWS) * Ownership of our devops story (involving both backend services as well as Android build infrastructure among other things) * Own and evolve our Android fork (Mason OS) and help unify it across a variety of devices (a la LineageOS/CyanogenMod) * Build end to end web apps to realize features around large-scale device management, ordering, inventory management, etc.

Our tech spans the gamut from Android OS customization, apps, CLI tools, backend services, devops and web dashboards all the way through to device provisioning automation and optimal sourcing of hardware through our network of manufacturers.

We're looking for engineers that have 2+ years of direct, hands-on experience in the space you're applying for, or in a related area that translates over.

Please include your resume and a cover letter answering (in brief) "Why you?" and "Why Mason?". You can contact us directly at (hiring -at- bymason.com); we'll personally review your application. Please know that we look at all resumes but may take a little time to shortlist as we are a small hands-on team.

Our process: Phone interview => Work on take-home/async problem and/or share your existing body of work => In-person => Offer. We adjust/shorten based on the candidate.

ECAL | Backend & Frontend Devs | Melbourne, Australia | ONSITE | https://ecal.com/

Join our small, high performing team as we split our monolith to micro-services.

- Backend developer: familiar with complied languages and database constraints.

- Frontend developer: we like React/Redux, but it would be your stack to own. https://www.seek.com.au/job/36803616

Apply to damien@ecal.com

ECAL is a calendar management company, we allow clients such as the English Premier League, Ticketek and MLS to publish calendars into subscriber's calendars via ICS, and Google and Microsoft APIs.

Current stack: PHP (zend-ish), Mongo, EC2

New stack: Docker, ECS, then the 'best tool for the job', so far we have added Go for network heavy things, Python for Spark and Ops, a little Node, Postgres for the data, React on the front.

I'm hiring for people I can trust, who can take an idea and make it work whilst collaborating with the team on micro-service contract design, testing, and 'best practices' within each service. Strong opinions, loosely held etc.

These are not entry-level positions, but we aren't looking for 'ninjas' either. We are more interested in what you can do with us than what you have done in the past.

We are looking for the best candidate for the position, you will be considered based on your skill and passion for programming, not your race, religion, gender, age, sexuality, political leanings, eye colour, opinions on cubism or the oxford comma, or anything else not related to programming.
