Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)

https://www.talenthouse.com/collaborate/all

Seeking a senior engineer capable of jiving well with a tiny and nimble team. We take pride in the code we write and take care of our posse. The main office is in West Hollywood but most of the tech team works remotely. Slack, Hangouts, Trello, GitHub, and Hackpad help keep the team communications current, emails are rare between the engineering team. We believe in transparency which leads to a culture of trust, which in turn leads to a lot more flexibility than most other companies.

Our development tower consists of play/slick/postgres/redis/react/angular glued together using scala/html/javascript/less. It's not necessary you know any of the tech or languages, though definitely helpful. An eagerness to learn new technology and having strong problem solving skills mixed with a little tenacity and grit will take you a long way.

Our platform enables artist all over the world to receive exposure through marketing channels they may have never dreamed possible. We work with both brands and popular artists to bring creative briefs to our community. Several artists have experienced life changing opportunities through our work.

I've been working at Talenthouse for just a little over a year. Having worked at a dozen companies before this and as a freelancer, its my favorite so far. The team I get to work with is top notch. Individual needs are met all the while still delivering the required technology to push the company another step forward. I picked up the technology on the way and can say its been an amazing experience working with scala, definitely my favorite language now (out of the 13 others I’ve used in production over the last decade).

Give us a ping at jobs@talenthouse.com to open up a conversion, mention the hacker news post. Cheers.

We are hiring for multiple roles at multiple sites and all levels of seniority.

Risk Central is a new firm-wide effort at JP Morgan to bring in best in class Big Data technologies to store, aggregate and report risk and PNL data. Using Big Data technologies like Hadoop, Kafka and Spark, the Risk Central team will build a resilient high-capacity platform supporting the firm’s business and regulatory agenda. On a typical day, vast amounts of data will stream into the system from both end of day batches and real-time calculators. Processing engines will link the incoming data streams to derive business relevant data views. Modern front ends will be built for desktop and mobile platforms to service the needs of heterogeneous clients across the Investment Bank and Risk & Finance.

Distributed Systems Engineer (https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=1...)

The ideal candidate for the role has a proven track record of using Big Data technologies to effectively store, report and analyze large volumes of time-series data, preferably in the financial domain. The candidate will be able to guide the build out of the Risk Central system, using their expertise to ensure all tools are used optimally and build to scale to the firm’s long term requirements. They will also work actively on the development and deployment of the system. Additionally, they should be able to add significant value to the system by using data analysis tools to mine and analyze the large volumes of data available.

Front End Developer (https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=1...)

The front end developer will build modern user interfaces for browsers, mobile devices and native clients. These interfaces will interact with Apache Spark on the backend to aggregate and visualize a vast set of data points which can be sliced across portfolios and time series. Each UI needs to be responsive to the needs of users across different regions, lines of business and functional requirements. As the background data can change in real time, the front end also has to be sophisticated enough to re-aggregate and render the affected views in real time.

===

Full Stack Developer (https://jpmchase.taleo.net/careersection/jobdetail.ftl?job=1...)

The Application Developer role requires full-stack development, with the ideal candidate involved in all aspects of the Risk Central build out. This includes writing internal and external APIs, writing code that persists and aggregates data and building highly scalable, mission-critical components servicing users across the globe. Candidates will be able to handle the full pipeline of the system, from receiving data from upstream systems to reporting results to downstream clients. In order to accomplish this, the developer will have familiarity of all technologies used in the project and have a basic understanding of all involved workflows.

Your mission:

• Build systems that make the best decision in 50ms, half a million times per second. Across three continents and six datacenters, 24/7.

• Find the signal hidden in tens of TB of data, in one hour, using over a thousand nodes on our Hadoop cluster. And constantly keep getting better at it while measuring the impact on our business.

• Get stuff done. A problem partially solved today is better than a perfect solution next year. Have an idea during the night ? Code it in the morning, push it at noon, test it in the afternoon and deploy it the next morning.

• High stakes, high rewards: 1% increase in performance may yield millions for the company. But if a single bug goes through, the Internet goes down (we’re only half joking).

• Develop open source projects. Because we are working at the forefront of technology, we are dealing with problems that few have faced. We’re big users of open source, and we’d like to give back to the community.
