With respect, isn't illegal to declare a preference for a gender, sexual orientation, or race in a job posting in California?

Inviting or encouraging a particular vastly underrepresented demographic isn't the same as saying that they're preferred over any other demographic. There's good evidence that just saying "women welcome!" (or any other underrepresented demographic) is a good way to reduce the huge gap between men and women hires by numbers.

But, they are doing more than just inviting/encouraging, right? They said that they have 40% women and want to take that number to 50%. Isn't that not declaring a preference for women?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We're a pretty small software consulting agency, so we're looking for engineers that are capable of learning new technologies and adopting to best-practices in those technologies. Ideally, we're looking for people that: * bring expertise in at least one framework that we're likely to use[1], and * love to start projects in a software stack that they haven't used before. [1] Rails, django, iOS, Android, Xamarin, WPF,…

Any prospective clients for more C++/native stuff? (Thus the type of an engineer).

Right now we don't have any prospective clients that have projects that would call specifically for C++/native stuff. We have some clients that may have problems that need to be solved with that kind of work in the medium-term future.

Ideally we're looking for engineers that have a pretty-broad skill-set, that are happy to pick up new frameworks, languages, and code-bases as necessary.

Pandora | Oakland, CA | Backend java developers at all levels, prefer noSQL database XP and multi-threading XP

Do you love music? Want to see your work impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people? If so, our music engineering team at Pandora could be a fit! This team works with the data of our 250+ million users to maintain and improve our listeners' experience. We're backend Java engineers, are highly visible within the org, and make a direct impact on our product by partnering with our scientists and product managers analyzing huge amounts of user data. We owned Pandora's integration with Google NOW and are generally working on interesting and exciting tech.

We deploy on Linux, code primarily in Java, use Python for scripting, Postgres for traditional DB and Redis for noSQL DB solution, interact with Hadoop/Hive (so any exposure to big data tech is a plus).

We're based in Oakland (and love it here) and have a very flexible remote work environment combined with a more traditional onsite setup. A good example: the team I work on is in the office M-TH 10am-4pm and Friday is an unofficial everyone work from home day. WFH because of kids, pets, doctors appts, etc. is normal and expected; this is not your normal clock-punch corporate environment.

Competitive comp, equity packages, bonus structure, good benefits, 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year, and all kinds of other work/life oriented perks come with our full time gigs. Happy to talk to anyone who is even remotely curious about this (or other engineering roles)! We're hiring!

Contact: adoyal@pandora.com for more info!

Point | Palo Alto, CA | Software Engineer | existing H1B VISA holders welcome

Point (https://point.com) takes the biggest single asset that most folks have in their lifetime - the home - and makes it liquid, divisible and tradable. Point's first product lets homeowners "sell" fractional equity in their home. There are no monthly repayments -- instead, homeowners get a tax-deferred lump sum now and the investor “exits” when the homeowner sells the property.

We’re using Rails and will build services in Go as we scale. The ideal candidate is comfortable with back-end design + implementation, has the potential to be dangerous on the front-end, can build micro-services, and is thoughtful about product and design.

Andreessen Horowitz led our initial 3M seed in January; Bloomberg, Greylock, Ribbit Capital, SV Angel and a few others also participated. We're super-early -- five folks as of last week -- and looking to build an exceptional team that wants to change how folks think about homeownership. If you are passionate about a ground-zero engineering role with us, would love to chat, contact eddie@point.com with your info!
