CloudFlare | https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance over 2 million sites, including this one.

We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started the year at 128 and hope to end around 256, and will be at 175 by the beginning of August. This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term success.

You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/). https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.

We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development.

Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

1) Billing engineer -- someone to take the lead as we build a new billing system.

2) VP Engineering -- continuing to build and scale a great engineering team

3) Principal Engineer -- owning the WWW stack which we use for control and administrative functions internally and for customers, and managing a move to a modern microservices model.

We've recently opened a Singapore office and are hiring sales/support/operations personnel there.

Credit Karma (http://www.creditkarma.com) is the company that is making credit for the people and helping to drive a huge change in how people understand their credit. We're a hugely successful unicorn that is looking for a number of people to fill a few critical positions as we look to grow our next few billion in valuation.

We're looking for someone to come in and lead our build and release team. The team has been growing into its own and has a ton of challenges supporting a few hundred engineers as they battle tech debt converting a monolithic backend into a cohesive set of beautiful modern services. You should be interested in leading teams that teach people to fish and write tools and services to enable scale. You should be a good product owner for highly technical work and be excited to have tons of other engineers as your stakeholders. You should feel confident that this is a job you are excited to do, if it is, you are probably a good fit.

We want a director and a few engineers to help grow our tools and services team. Tools and services are a set of scrum teams that do things like work on frameworks in scala, nodejs, and php that other teams will leverage to automate creation of the core features a good CK service uses. You'll also have teams that are building a highly scalable notifications framework, a core administrative interface, and a variety of other things that we really need full time teams working on now that we scale. Just like build and release, you'll have stakeholders who are all engineers and should be excited about those challenges. You'll also help us break ground on some of our earliest open source projects (we're late to the game).

Staff Software Engineers are what we title our best of the best. If you are the one in your company thinking "I'm the smartest person in the room" and "I wish I had some real peers to talk to about this challenging problem" you probably fit our definition. We have an extremely sharp team with some fantastic engineers who are looking to grow their ranks at the top. If you are excited about topics like domain driven design, distributed systems, high scalability, dockerization, android and ios development, and react and flux; this is a good stop for you.

Finally, we're looking for a couple engineering managers. If you want to take a scrum team (~5 people) in our financial health (how our customers get tons of value out of CK), data engineering (how we figure out things that are useful for our customers), or tools and services (how our teams get stuff done) we need help. In addition to having managed technical folks: you should either have previously been a senior software engineer or have some serious program management skills to bring to bear.

If you are interested, hit me up matt dot greenberg at creditkarma.com (engineering director who volunteers to help with technical team hiring). We also have a ton of other job postings for other teams including Infrastructure, Security, IT, Marketing, and Operations at https://www.creditkarma.com/careers.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis) Full time, INTERN - http://climate.com/careers Climate is using Clojure to build weather and agronomic models to help farmers farm better. ====== Why I love it ====== – Climate is making a huge impact in the agricultural industry. – I am surrounded by super smart people who all share an attitude of openness and mentorship. – I work with some of the top scien…

The Climate Corporation is also looking for SREs. We're working on making the leap into containerization from dev->prod, and boy, we could use some help on the team! Join us and get your hands dirty with production Docker.

--- information bits

- SRE at Climate uses Python primarily, along with tidbits of Go and Java here and there.

- We do about a 70/30 "dev"/"ops" split right now, with that split varying week over week, depending on what fires are coming in.

- we use Linux, we expect you to know how to code, we don't expect you to have ten years of Docker experience. :-)

--- me

My specialty is software tools development and driving a continuous delivery process - my customers sit 30 feet away from me and we can work together to get a happy result. I really like knowing what folks want and building it.

Please feel free to email me if you are curious, interested, etc.
