The Endangered Language Alliance (ELA) is looking for a volunteer web developer to enhance an existing website for teaching a highly endangered Native American language to a new generation of speakers.

ELA (www.elalliance.org) is an independent non-profit based in New York City with a mission to document and support endangered languages, collaborating with communities and educating a broader public. Working remote totally fine.

We're looking for someone with good knowledge of WordPress and relevant tools. The website includes sound files, video files and explanations of complex word structure. One of the main goals is to make the various complex verb charts interactive and linked to media. There is also an existing searchable database containing a large text and dictionary which we would like to integrate into the website. Other tools and ideas for web-based language teaching are very welcome.

Please email ELA Director Daniel Kaufman at kaufman@elalliance.org.

iOffer | San Francisco, CA | FULLTIME | ONSITE

In 2002, iOffer revolutionized eCommerce by launching a transparent, negotiable marketplace. Our mission was to disrupt the status quo -- frenetic and rivalrous auction sites -- by empowering real people to buy, sell and trade on their own terms.

Position: Full-Stack Software Engineer

We're looking for a talented and motivated engineer who is looking to gain experience in the full stack of a web application. Some education in computer science or software engineering is a requirement, and experience with our technologies (especially Rails) is a huge plus. But most importantly the ideal applicant should be able to learn quickly, be eager to take on new challenges, and work well with our existing team.

Technologies:

* Ruby on Rails (MySQL, Ruby, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, Prototype) * Microservices (Apache Thrift, Node.js) * Caching (Memcached, Redis) * Queueing (Resque, Sidekiq) * Git * Remote payment API's

If you think you'd be great for this position, please email me at ian@ioffer.com and tell me why.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Was up to 9 hours and took more like 4. Had some spare time so I knocked it out. I don't mind these things, but when you make someone invest hours, you should feel responsible for investing a couple minutes. Was one of these "do something pointless in OO so we know you're not a potato" with infinite space for random scrutiny. 1st year undergrad stuff that makes you reconsider believing in intelligence. For a senior s…

Yep, that's what I meant. You in advance had at least few points that your bullshit detector should have detected: - Up to 9 hours for the test assignments, too time consuming assignment. Usually that indicates to a lack of respect for the candidate and probably to the potential employee. So you might be a lucky that you was not selected for the next interview stage :) - Proposing to do something pointless in OO for…

I hope you see how calling someone naive without understanding their motive could be interpreted as mildly offensive :P

BaseCase | Berlin, Germany | Software Engineer | http://basecase.com | Remote, Visa Our primary product is a sophisticated web application which allows non-developers create interactive presentations. We're looking for talented front-end and back-end developers. Our technology stack is Javascript / jQuery / HTML5 on the back-end, and Python / MySQL on the back-end. But you don't need experience in our stack - we know…

When you make someone do a 9 hour coding test and they solve it, you could at least take the 5 minutes it takes to write them a rejection E-mail :(

So... I don't know if we got the same test, but the one they sent me literally took less than 30 minutes to do. Just a pseudo "AI" that took a few trig functions to solve.

My guess is that if it takes you more than an hour to do a code assessment, you're doing it wrong.
