Weedmaps | Irvine, CA | Tucson, AZ | Denver, CO | Remote | Frontend (React, Next.js, GraphQL) | Backend (Elixir, GraphQL, Ruby on Rails) Come join the World's largest cannabis tech company! We're hiring across the board, have tons of interesting engineering challenges, and get to work with an absolutely cutting-edge stack.

I was given the perma-ignore treatment by a Talent Acquisition rep at WeedMaps for a SWE position that was effectively a subset of my existing job (I exceeded the listed requirements) after providing a resume. The resume should have clearly shown my qualifications, but did include some very old stuff including dozens of PHP sites. Not sure if ageism, poor resume optimization, or something else but feedback was (and s…

Maybe they ran out of rolling paper, and your resume was used instead.

Hi, this is a complete non sequitur, but how's the tech sector in Montreal? Feel free to get rid of this comment if it bothers anyone, I was just curious. I never hear about tech and Montreal specifically, but there are several large scale interweb businesses there, including Pornhub... you guys get how many hits a day, plus have how mamy stream connections going at once? I have to imagine it's a fairly large number.

The industry for developers in Montreal is large; it's nigh impossible to find oneself unemployed. However, the number of "big name" companies is quite small. MindGeek (owner of PornHub) is one, Google has an office, and the game studios are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. So while the industry is large, most of it is small private businesses you've never heard of.

The explanation as to why Montreal is a fairly busy tech hub likely has to do with salaries here vs. the expectation for equivalent talent in the US. Most companies here are actually American companies, and the only reason their offices are located here is because even senior developers tend to earn < $85k/year CAD, with $60-70k being more common. That's $48k to $70k/year USD vs. the $100-200k+ USD they'd have to pay within the US. Government incentives (looking at you, SR&ED) reimburse these companies a significant portion of developers' salaries, making it even cheaper. Canada is, for many American businesses, essentially a step above outsourcing to India.

Some questions:

* Would you consider your development team diverse?

* What is the office environment like?

* Have any stars come to visit?

* What's the weirdist thing you've seen or that's happened at work?

Blockchain Project | Backend Dev, Frontend Dev, Application Security Engineer, DevOps | Remote | Full-time | $160k-$200k Hi! we are a couple of fellow HNers launching a new cryptocurrency-based project. We don’t even have the name yet! We’re in ideation and architecting phase and we’ll be building from the ground up a project similar to funfair.io, but without the ICO part. This means we'll need help with everything!…

Is it a new cryptocurrency, or a new project based on an existing cryptocurrency?

Matterport | Senior Backend Engineer | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | ONSITE, VISA

Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery

The Backend Engineering Team works on our Platform and APIs. The stack is Django/Python/Postgres on AWS, and Fastly as a CDN. We're a small team right now, at 5 engineers who mostly do Django and 3 who mostly do infrastructure and developer tools.

We're hiring more in this area because we're starting to get some very interesting scaling challenges:

- We host over 600,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 600TB of data.

- We serve over 15 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 7 billion requests and 300TB of data.

Our APIs are used by all parts of the company: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, and consumed by our Javascript/WebGL and VR applications. The Backend team makes new additions to the API constantly, and works to ensure the APIs are secure, scale well, and are well tested.
