10% Happier | Senior Developer | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full Time

A 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 at the start of last year, 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) * 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) * 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.

Is there any way these roles could impact the horrendous customer service for which Comcast is infamous?

This is not an acceptable place to post attacks about something extraneous, so please don't do that here. We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13303953 and marked it off-topic.

Understood. Out of curiosity, if the question had been phrased, "Would this role provide an opportunity to improve the customer service of this company?" would you construe that as an attack?

That careers page is good stuff. This is how it should be done. It's rare and pleasing to see something that well thought-out and comprehensive, thanks! Edit: do you guys take care of visas for non-AUS people?

Thanks! The careers page was one of the things that made it easy for me to apply - takes a lot of the guess work out.

As far as VISAs go, it's something we'd look into for the right candidates. We have at times had registration for 457s, but the rules/requirements around visas are complex. Sorry that's not a better answer.

Lead Backend Engineer for Hamburger Making Robots | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | $140-$160k + equity

Momentum Machines makes the most advanced restaurant robots in the world. We're a small collective of food lovers and engineers with decades of robotics and restaurant experience. We bring robotics to life and delight to our guests.

You are:

+ An experienced backend developer: You’re proficient in a backend language and framework, you know your way around a cloud hosting platform, and you’re not afraid of dipping your toes in front-end when needed. You care about SQL vs. NoSQL, but not that much. You also know how to make Linux work for you.

+ An architect: You start from a blank slate, you chose the technology stack that best fits the product and timeline, and you use off-the-shelf as often as possible. You’re up-to-speed on the latest technology trends. You have a deep understanding of security, scalability and reliability.

+ Autonomous: You take initiative and pitch in where it helps the most. You play well with software developers but will go solo when necessary. You carve your own path and are driven to do your best. You also communicate well (with humans).

+ Pioneering: You’re excited to take creative control of a greenfield project and to be among the first to revolutionize how we eat.

+ User-oriented: You design for the user above all else.

You will:

+ Choose our technology stack: our guests are agnostic to language, framework, database and hosting platform. You recommend the technology stack that gets us to market and delivers the best guest experience. The language can be Python, Javascript, Ruby, PHP, Java, or other; the framework can be Django, Flask, Node.js, Backbone.js, Ruby on Rails, FuelPHP, or other; the database can be SQL or NoSQL; the hosting platform can be AWS, Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, Heroku or other.

+ Build a backend: you turn on a cloud host, set up a backend framework and database, and create an API that allows guests to place orders and machines to produce them.
