Is it REMOTE only for inside the US, or anywhere in the world? Also, do remote workers need to (legally) be able to work in the US?

Great question! Remote is only inside the US, and you must be able to legally work in the US. These are restrictions we must deal with as part of the federal government.

is 18F hiring junior level engineers?

We're mostly focused on people who can dive in and start delivering, and helping agencies deliver, better. We help each other improve, but it depends on what you mean when you describe yourself as "junior."

But it's worth a shot!

Medallia - Palo Alto, CA - http://engineering.medallia.com

Medallia is hiring engineers to build our microservice platform. World-class companies (Airbnb, Mercedes, Nordstrom to mention a few) use Medallia to create awesome customer experiences.

We are a fast-growing (70% per year), Sequoia-backed company that recently became a tech unicorn; our mission is no less than to transform the way the world's companies view and interact with their customers. We allow hundreds of thousands of employees to access, analyze and take action on large amounts of customer data in real time. We are still a small engineering team, only about 50 or so of us, thus everyone counts.

Dividing our codebase into independent microservices will make it easier for new engineers to get up to speed, enable much faster deployments of new code (by the engineers themselves) and make it easier and cheaper to scale with much better resiliency.

Despite the popularity of microservice architectures, and plethora of available frameworks, there are still many unsolved problems (especially around RPC performance, storage and freely moving processes around) in operating at scale in production. We not only want to solve these for ourselves, but share our findings and tools with the wider community.

We are using a blend of the best tech out there: Docker for containerization; Aurora/Mesos for data center / server management; CEPH for fully redundant storage and putting it together in a way we haven't seen anyone else do. Check out this presentation we held at a recent Docker meetup (hosted by us) for how we are going about it:

Please send me a note at kristian@medallia.com if any of the above sounds interesting to you.

Polymath Ventures | Bogotá, Colombia | Software Engineers, Data Scientists | Email greg (at) polymathv (dot com)

That's right, Bogotá! Come join some amazing people building real businesses in the developing world. We are seeking one or two strong engineers to lead development at our ventures, and we are also looking for a data scientist. If you want to try something off the beaten path, this is for you. Knowing Spanish is not required (I'm very much at the pointing and smiling stupidly stage).

Polymath Ventures is a company builder that has been operating in Colombia for three years now. We have chosen Colombia as a launching point into Latin America for a number of reasons, including market size and growth trends, access to talent, regional scalability, and an increasingly supportive business culture. Over those years, we have built five companies and are set to launch two more next year.

We are looking to grow the nascent Polymath tech team, which I recently joined. The technological needs of the existing businesses are sophisticated, stemming from several years of operational experience. There is a LOT of from-scratch development that needs to be done! We've settled on Python and Ember as a tech stack, but this is not fixed. Come build with us!

For more info please contact me directly at the address above or email jobs@polymathv.com.

SWARM (http://swarmnyc.com), a rapidly expanding digital services agency, is looking for a skillful backend, developer to join immediately. This position provides a unique opportunity to drive back-end technical decisions within a dynamic start-up setting.

Want to know more?

About you

- You are a skillful backend or a full-stack developer with significant experience (5 years +) in building high-performance, scalable, fault tolerant & mission critical systems.

- You build REST services using old school tech (C#, Java, C++) and the new stuff (Node.js, GO)

- You work with SQL databases (SQL Server, Oracle) & No SQL (Mongo, Redis)

- You work with and can dynamically scale services with cloud based platforms (AWS, Azure)

- You understand the importance of logging, monitoring & unit tests.

- Overall you can pick the right tool for the job!

- For an added bonus you know video backend infrastructure ( ffmpeg, transcoding, webrtc)

- You love to learn, and equally love to share your knowledge with others.

About SWARM

At SWARM, we like to have fun as we push the boundaries on what can be done when you combine great design with solid development and marketing that gets noticed. On the surface, we make apps for iPhone, Android, Smart TV, wearables and emerging technology. Behind the scenes though - we draw, doodle, and solve puzzles. Usually, those puzzles are in code, product, or design. We’'re just a bunch of individuals who are passionate about technology.

Truth be told, we’re not just a services company. We experiment and hack a lot. Sometimes those experiments fail (like an anonymous twitter chat app) and sometimes they get pretty good traction, get noticed and win!

Also, we're pretty big on education and learning forever. We’re always tinkering and evolving our processes, working out how to build better apps, challenging why certain designs work and why others don't, and we'll happily share with you as you grow in your skillset.

Our 10 person team is in a co-working space with plenty of comfy collaborative areas, and is beautifully situated in the Flatiron district.

please apply at hello@swarmnyc.com
