#653A clear, simple approach to meditation with a NY Times bestselling author and some of the most respected (and cool) meditation teachers on the planet. Launched last fall, 7 person core team, venture-backed, growing quickly. (Here’s the app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meditation-for-fidgety-skept... )
In a nutshell, we're looking for a senior developer who is: * Excited help us accelerate our growth (we’ve already hit product/market fit and things are going fast, but there are big opportunities to make it go faster) * Is interested in working on a high-visibility product (we’ve been in NYTimes, Good Morning America, and more) that has a big impact on people’s lives (see our reviews on the App Store) * Is willing to work up and down the stack / doesn't want to get pigeon-holed on one project. Backend, iOS, analytics, (soon) Android, mobile/web, building a team, mentoring, refining development process, etc... You won't get bored.
The product (for now) is our iOS app. It’s built in Swift & ReactiveCocoa. Our web-back end is Ruby on Rails and Postgres, all living atop Heroku. If you’re interested in functional programming & clean, readable code, we think you’ll like what you see - but we’d prefer it if you helped us make it better still.
The interview process involves (i) a 30min call, (ii) a 2hr technical interview, and (iii) a 2hr culture interview (followed by reference checks and conversations to answer any questions you have).
Email me derek@ (10percenthappier.com) if you’re interested.

#654DRIVIN is looking to expand our data team as we continue to grow our data platform. The candidate should have a strong background with Python and SQL. As a member of the data team the main responsibilities are implementing/maintaining ETL jobs, using Python to ingest external data sources into the Data Warehouse, and working closely with the Product and Data Science teams to deliver data in usable formats and to the appropriate data sources.
DRIVIN has a polyglot data model using many cutting edge data platforms. We are currently using MPP Postgres (Greenplum, Netezza, DBX) as our Data Warehouse, Elastic Search for location based searching, Postgres for transactional data, and AeroSpike for Big Data.
This candidate should be a self-starter who is interested in learning new systems/environments and building new solutions. They should also be interested in architecting simple, straight-forward solutions to reduce complex data problems. The candidate should also work closely with the Data Science team to identify interesting data points for use by the Data Science team.
DRIVIN tech stack is very cutting edge. MPP Postgres drives the Data Warehouse, ElasticSearch enables our location based searching/metrics, AeroSpike enables our Big Data storage, and Apache Spark is used to train our models. All environments are run off of AWS EC2/RDS/S3 and data processing framework is written in Python.
Shoot me an email if you're interested! dhruska@drivindealer.com
