Our tech stack is all Haskell with a very minimal amount of front end that we are hoping to expand with the help of the following new hires. Currently hiring for: * Front end developer * Product manager * Content writers * Designers meanpath crawls 200 million…

I spent six-months pair programming with their CTO (prior to meanpath existing) and learnt more software engineering than my previous courses and career combined. They're not kidding about the Haskell either... :-)

post #73

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You'll never get feedback on rejection during this company's interview process in my experience.

Did you ask? We can usually give some feedback. That said, we are still improving our hiring workflow -- I have my own list of pet peeves. We've gone from dozens to thousands in a few years; turns out it's easier to scale software than hiring. Edit: speaking of asking, I asked some more about our feedback. Sometimes it's hard to give specific feedback, sometimes it's not easy to be tactful, sometimes the interviewer…

Really,I cant make head or tail on what you saying here.You are just dithering.To me,I will warn developers about your company.We need to start speaking out about disrespectful potential employers.There are quite a lot of tech companies that are treating potential employee badly.Asking candidates to do many hours of take-home code interview and simply ignore them thereafter;passive-aggressively interview candidates;And your comments here are not helpful.

Nylas | SRE | San Francisco, CA (ONSITE) | https://nylas.com | Full Time only

Nylas is like a race car moving at 200 MPH, and you are a member of the pit crew--swapping the tires and refueling without slowing down! We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to take our infrastructure to the next level, with a focus on tools, availability, performance, and scale.

Critical to this role is supporting the entire engineering org in moving quickly, which includes running our internal tooling infrastructure, creating systems that make migrations/alerts/tests easy to write and run, and further improving our continuous integration and deployment workflows. You should love measuring things, making data-driven decisions, and have excellent written communication skills. As this is an engineering role, you should also be comfortable writing substantial amounts of production-grade code (although it may not be your focus). Bonus points for a deep love for large distributed systems, a knack for creating elegant tools, and experience participating in an on-call rotation and running on AWS. Double bonus points for clear, direct communication and a call-it-like-it-is attitude.

Some technologies we use: Python, AWS, MySQL, Redis, Ansible, Elasticsearch, Kafka, ZooKeeper

If you're interested, please get in touch with spang at nylas dot com directly, or apply via https://jobs.lever.co/nylas/f6d54373-2702-4d34-b3f7-d9200308.... We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.

Hightower Inc | New York (ONSITE) | Full Stack Engineers

We met one of our first engineers via HackerNews almost two years ago (hi @erikwithfriends!) and are still recruiting :)

Hightower is a workflow and collaboration platform for commercial real estate leasing. In short, our customers use Hightower to replace clunky Excel and email workflows with a simple, beautiful and purpose-designed tool. In the last 24 months we've grown from 3 to 62 people, raised $21 million, and now power leasing at many landmarks in New York, San Francisco and other cities around the US and globally.

We're hiring full stack developers to join our team in SoHo, NYC. Our stack is RoR and AngularJS (~50% of our team hails from Pivotal Labs & ThoughtWorks). Developers, designers and product managers work together in small cross functional teams, and use the best tools we can find.

Drop me a line if you're interested in learning more about how we work, and what happened when a modern technology startup met an industry still playing catch up with the Internet - niall.smart (at) gethightower.com.
