Convoy | Seattle | Onsite | Full-time

We're optimizing the trucking and logistics industry; automating what is, today, a $749B industry that still runs on fax machines and phone calls. Currently backed by top tier investors. Read about us: http://fortune.com/2015/10/27/superstar-investors-back-convo...

I'm employee #2, and I've been here since we were borrowing desks at a local startup incubator. We've grown a lot since then, but we still have a tight-knit, high leverage engineering team. I love arriving at the office in the morning - I get to work with some of the smartest folks I've ever met, and not just in engineering. We also have a fantastic sales/operations/brokerage team, and we work with them constantly to build best-of-breed logistics automation.

We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React-Native for mobile, TypeScript + Node for backend), but we're a lot more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills.

If you're in Seattle, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other engineers. The last 18 months have been a wild ride, but we have years and years ahead of us to build a logistics titan!

Shopify | Canada (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Waterloo and now San Francisco!) | Full-time | Onsite | Remote | VISA Shopify is a platform that allows entrepreneurs to easily setup an online store. We build solutions that empower merchants at every step of their journey. Our product help merchants who are just starting as well as established brands that need a solution that can scale with their traffic. We're always wo…

Heads up: developer interviews with Shopify are a sitdown with 2-3 HR people who do not have an ounce of experience in development. You will not meet the CTO, the local office's technical director, or even a team lead developer. The interviewers will not be impressed one iota with your experience, as your interview is purely designed to judge you on a first impression culture fit.

If you are not a smooth-talking, 18 year old, ass-kissing fake personality, skip this interview and go to any other company where you will find an interview judging you on merit rather than whether the interviewers want to go to the club with you at midnight on a Friday night.

Source: my own 25+ interviews over the years, with 4 employers over a span of 13 years; in addition to two truly senior developer friends who found themselves in the same situation with them. Shopify is 95th percentile worst interview process for software developers and engineers in Canada.

Mercy Corps/Gaza Sky Geeks | Product Manager | Gaza, Palestine | ONSITE | Full Time We are the first and only startup accelerator in Gaza run by Mercy Corps and founded with an initial grant from Google; and now a tech hub in the Google for Entrepreneurs partner network. Are you interested in: - Scaling up a fresh market in the field of ‘Product Development & Management’? - Inspiring and teaching eager entrepreneurs…

Not exactly related to the job posting, but I am immensely curious what ISPs you use in Gaza and what their ipv4/ipv6 netblocks, ASNs and upstreams are. The OSI layer 1/2/3 topology of how traffic gets in and out of an embargoed semi-nation-state and the Israel question must be a huge complication.

I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmidt did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria.

Using IQ as an indicator for a good candidate is flawed, and just plain stupid. That would not be a company I'd have any interest in working for.

Flawed and stupid why? You can't just say non-obvious things like that without backing them up at all.

Jio Money. Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.

We launched on the 15th of Aug and are the top trending app in the Finance section in play store. Approx 8 Million downloads.

The problem scope is large, complex and fascinating problem to crack.

The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

We are looking to hire a good core team of full time math, physics and CS majors, UI UX and product managers, who will work of Bangalore, India.

We are open to hiring people from around the world but they will need to work out of Bangalore.

Looking for full time and in exceptional cases, consultants, welcome.

We also have our payment network baked into banks and mass transit.

In the past I have built both fast-data and big-data companies and have a few patents in this space.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie.
