remove the " and try again

haha I didn't notice the ", I guess that means I failed the first interview challenge.

StackShare | Remote OK (US Only) | Full-time

StackShare helps you discover and compare software tools- we’re building a platform for developer knowledge.

We're looking for an awesome Developer Evangelist (in SF) to help grow and manage the StackShare community. From Airbnb to Dropbox, to individual developers and CTOs, StackShare has become the defacto place for companies and engineers to share the software they use and why. But we're just scratching the surface- we believe we have an opportunity to fundamentally change the way that software is built. Whether you're building a new mobile app, automating infrastructure, or just researching best practices, StackShare will be your compass.

Unlike other DE roles, your job isn't to push one API or product. You'll work with hundreds of APIs and help build a knowledge platform that will developers choose the right tools. The role is part community building, part growth engineering, part marketing. If you enjoy writing code, but enjoy helping others solve technical problems even more, then this is probably the right opportunity for you.

Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/PostgreSQL http://stackshare.io/stackshare

Interview Process: Phone Screening (45 min) > Technical Interview (60 min, Video Chat) > Take-home project (2 days to finish) > Product Interview (2 hours, Video Chat / Onsite) > References > Offer Letter!

- Developer Evangelist (San Francisco) - $70k - $100k · 0.5 - 4.0% https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/86973-developer-evangelist

Pacific Biosciences (http://www.pacb.com/) | Front-end engineer | San Francisco or Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE

We make a DNA sequencing instrument (you put in a biological sample and get back strings of ACTGs). We're looking for help with our Angular 2/Typescript web interfaces. One interface is on the instrument itself (it has a touchscreen that runs full-screen chrome), and the other is a web page that customers use to run analyses on the data that comes off of the instrument. Both are single-page apps that talk to our backends over JSON APIs.

We launched a new instrument late last year, and we're growing. Many of our users are labs that do biological research, but there are also some human clinical use cases that our technology is a good fit for. So we're working with a partner to get the instrument ready for clinical use as well.

We're a very interdisciplinary company; there's serious physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science going on. There are so many different kinds of nerd jokes, I can't even tell you.

The interview process is a phone screen, a coding challenge, and an on-site interview. Here's the job listing:

Amperity | Seattle, WA | ONSITE & REMOTE | Full-time

Amperity is a startup company founded in January 2016 to tackle the problem of customer data unification at scale.

We are hiring experienced engineers to write Clojure (and ClojureScript for the front end inclined) in Seattle, WA. Remote is an option as well for the right candidate.

This is an early stage opportunity at an ambitious, well funded startup company. Full stack Clojure, not "a bit of Clojure on the side". You'll write Clojure all day, solve difficult problems at very large scale, and get paid.

Background in large scale data processing, distributed systems, and machine learning are all major bonuses. Other elements of the stack include Mesos, Apache Aurora, Finagle, Spark, Kafka, Accumulo, Onyx, SaltStack, and Riemann.

For a full listing of positions, see http://jobs.amperity.com -- apply there or reach out to me directly with questions. My email prefix matches my HN handle.
