FarmLogs (YC W12) • Ann Arbor, MI • Onsite/Full-Time • https://farmlogs.com/ We build software to help farmers grow more with less. We're hiring for: - Product & marketing - Data Science / Research – Are you easily excited by nitrogen levels and cloud detection algorithms? - Devops – Consul, Containers, VPC's and CI oh-my! - Backend – Our modular infrastructure (runs-on (and :clojure :python)) - Front-end – Our front…

Out of curiosity, are there any opportunities for us developers who also farm? Notably with respect to the location and schedule constraints. I'm very interested in what you guys are doing, but wish to continue farming as well.

Mumbai, India - PSTakeCare - Onsite, Fulltime/Parttime/Interns

Android, Web frontend, Rails

We are a team of IITians trying to make healthcare easily discoverable and more accessible to the common public.

We're a small team of 3 in the tech department with experience across a wide range of tools - from Python, Node, Ruby to Erlang to Linux kernel internals. We are looking for skilled engineers to lead the Android side of things, to maintain and expand the backend (Rails, Postgres, Redis, with some microservices in Python), and create a beautifully smooth and quick web frontend.

Even if you have little to no experience with the specific tools/fields, but are reasonably good at programming and learning, we'd love to have you with us.

Hit me up at pritam@pstakecare.com

Spiffy | Berlin / Europe | Senior Go / Golang Developer(s) | madebyspiffy.com/jobs | REMOTE | PART-TIME

We're small startup building a whiteboxed dispatch system to sell initially to taxi firms, we are a distributed company and work 100% remotely, 95% of costs are wages, we have no VC funding and pay our own way via revenue. We offer a paid trial month. As for the product we've found "market-fit" and we're now iterating towards a robust scalable finish.

As a developer at spiffy you only work 20 hours a week, all we require is that you're around in the afternoon, there's no hierarchy & no management, we work in small vertical teams and you're expected to decide, design, implement, maintain & support. The wage (for everyone) is €3000 per month + VAT for now but you're employed as a consultant (less tax) and can take on other projects at the same time, not enough to live in London or Zurich but enough to live somewhere with a nice beach or even in Berlin (like me).

As for tooling, we use github, jenkins & slack and we're always constantly improving. There are no skype calls, no meetings of any kind, no standups, no performance reviews, just open and honest communication.

We are only looking for senior developers (3+ years) at this moment who can be around in the afternoons Central European Time

I personally would like to work with someone who employs TDD pragmatically and writes clean maintainable code. Who is widely read, possessing a depth of experience and able to bring ideas to the table. Experience building, operating & testing distributed systems would be a massive plus.

At the moment we've developed a microservice architecture on app engine and we'll be moving to containers in the near future. We don't expect you to have three years of Go experience but you need have something in Go/Golang to show us.

Just write a short cover letter detailing your past projects and what you'll bring but don't forget to indicate that you've read into what the company is about. Multi stage interviews are too resource consuming so if we like your application and you come across well in the interview then we'll invite you for a paid trial month.

I think you should just list every position in one big post rather than make one post per position you are hiring for.

I tried, but it said the post was too long. Even the above post was significantly shortened to get it to work.

IBM Watson | Multiple positions | Pittsburgh | Onsite | Full-time | Citizen; Visa for well-qualified candidates | Scala; Java; Angular.js; Bootstrap; Python; Ruby; Watson Explorer

IBM Watson in Pittsburgh has several open positions as of this posting.

http://ibm.biz/watson-pgh-jobs

* Watson Technical Product Manager

* Watson User Interface (UI) Developer (and Junior)

* Watson Quality Engineer

* Watson Software Support & Support Explorer Engineers

If you apply, please ensure that you apply fully by clicking the link in the email you receive later today. People frequently miss that step and leave their application incomplete!

I’m the software engineer tech lead on the Watson Explorer connectivity team and former consultant with the product's Professional Services team.

We’re looking for folks versed in Java, Scala, and the Ruby on Rails stack. The UI positions are heavily focused on Angular.js and Bootstrap. QA leans Python. We're in new development mode right now, so if you like to start from nothing, you'll like what we're doing.

We do things like TDD, real actual pair programming†, kanban, agile-ish planning (IBM Design Thinking, not some convoluted buzzword bullshit), automated builds, “use the right tool for the job even if it’s not an IBM product”, and daily stand ups that, for the most part, never run past 15 minutes.

We like to have fun, too, having regular board game lunches and evenings, hosting meetup events, weekly communal lunch cooked by one or more of our fantastic cooks, and managers that are incredibly full-of-clue and treat us like the adults we all are.

We try to keep our interview process as bullshit-free as possible. If we think you look good on paper, we’ll reach out for a phone chat and give you the details on a pretty open-ended code test, where you’ll implement a simple library. If we like your solution, then we’ll invite you for a live culture fit and technical interview, in-person if you’re near or remote if not. This process has given us a ridiculously low turnover.

† no, really. We shoot for 50%-75% pairing, otherwise known as “pair when it makes sense”.
