Mapbox | ONSITE in Washington D.C. or Berlin, Germany | Systems Engineer - Directions | Full-Time | http://www.mapbox.com/

The Directions team at Mapbox is looking for someone to help grow our navigation platform infrastructure. We have a core group working on routing algorithms and traffic data analysis, and we need help growing the infrastructure that runs that code (we develop and make heavy use of http://project-osrm.org/).

We use nodejs and AWS services extensively for our infrastructure, so familiarity with those tools is a plus, but by no means a requirement. We like adaptable people who aren't afraid to learn new skills, and bring new perspectives to the table.

A bunch more details at: https://www.mapbox.com/jobs/553439/ or hit me up with any questions.

This DOES NOT happen in all software based companies. I don't get why people believe that its ok to be a slave.

Of the three companies I've worked for in Seattle--one Fortune 500, one small consulting firm, one slightly bigger than startup SaaS--none of them expected more than 40 hours. And only the SaaS had an on-call rotation, but off hour work even for the on-call person has been very rare.

Kalliope is building a conversational agent that teaches English. * Our long-term mission is to create an affordable, immersive, virtual language learning world. * We mostly write Python. * Team is split between San Francisco and China.

Is this a web app? A mobile app? Are you bootstrapped? Seed?

This agent will be delivered through a mobile app and perhaps WeChat voice calling as an adoption strategy -- we're targeting China initially. Will likely pursue a seed round (maybe YC?) in a few months. Still early.

I'm not able to apply at that URL (the modal dialog is just a grey box).

Is there an email entry point to the applicant queue?

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?

I wouldn't, but it would probably be off topic in the Who Is Hiring thread.

Some guy called 'Robert DesRosiers ' from amazon restaurants contacted me on linkedin, made me take bunch of online tests and then dropped off face of the planet. His linkedin now says he is at Nordstrom, not sure if it was some sort of scam or if he got fired. I now believe all the horror stories about amazon treating poeple like cattle.

I'm really sorry about that. If you send me an email with your name and contact information, I can look into what happened. Every day I work with incredibly smart, driven, and talented engineers. Treating such valuable individuals "like cattle" is absurd - I go to bat for the engineers on my team every single day I'm at work.

Yes, well, the behavior noted here was toward people who weren't on anyone's team, were they?

That said, hiring well is really hard, especially setting the compensation structure to avoid creating perverse incentives which can result in issues just like these.

Tangentially, as a general rule (below the executive level), external recruiters < in-house recruiters < team members < hiring managers. On average anyway, as there are plenty of individual exceptions either way.
