Hey Ben, I sent in a software developer application about 3 weeks ago (included all required information). If I haven't received a response by now, does that mean I probably wasn't selected to go on to an interview? Thanks!

It means our process is backed up further than we're proud of — sorry for the slow response. Can you email Kayla (kayla@khanacademy.org) and me (ben@khanacademy.org) and we'll get back to you asap?

No problem, just sent you an email. Thanks for responding.

OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent, visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates)

At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (DevOps, Android, Frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We also recently raised our $4million series A [4] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital so are growing fast.

In May we’re also releasing WifiMapper [5] which leverages sensors and the community to build the best free Wifi database in the world.

"We're a dozen engineers building the foundation for Dropbox's first office outside San Francisco." - That reads like you're construction workers. (Maybe you are!)

It isn't so bad! Making bucks, getting exercise, working outside...

Fuckin' A.
