London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | Frontend web dev

Boiler Room is the world’s leading community of underground music fans. We live-stream DJ sets and live gigs from music hubs such as London, Berlin, New York, Paris, LA and >60 other cities to music lovers all over the world. It started as a webcam taped to a warehouse wall in East London - in five years Boiler Room has grown to become the online home of underground music, and also a complex broadcasting and editorial platform in its own right.

We are currently in the process of building the next generation of the web app powering Boiler Room. We have upwards of a million views on our site a month, and that’s not including the hundreds of millions of views that our videos have accumulated on YouTube and Dailymotion. We want to create a completely unique web experience that lives up to the quality of our live shows. To do that we need someone who knows their way around the wonderful mess that is front-end web development, and truly cares about the experience that music lovers will have while using our web app on all kinds of devices.

You’ll be an essential part of a dev team currently consisting of 2 developers and 2 designers. You should have strong opinions about how web development should be done in 2015, and you should be able to come up with and implement new ideas for consuming & sharing online music experiences. You'll be working in our river-side office in Wapping, East London, and you’ll of course be able to go to and invite your friends to the exclusive parties being live-streamed on the site.

Our frontend stack: React, Redux, ImmutableJS, Gulp, Webpack, Babel, CSSNext

If this sounds like your kind of jam, email our tech lead (lachenmayer) or drop me a line

Bond Street (http://www.bondstreet.com) is a startup focused on transforming small business lending through technology, data and design. Small business owners are the foundation for growth in our economy, and yet today’s banking system has left them behind.

We’re looking for exceptional front-end and full-stack engineers (bonus points if you have a financial services background) to join our product team, which includes Tumblr's former creative director, Peter Vidani. You’ll be responsible for helping to transform the business lending experience for over 25 million small business owners in America.

Projects our engineers work on include designing algorithms for instant risk assessment, creating intuitive and delightful user interfaces for our online loan application, and constructing dashboards for internal and customer use that resurface small business data in ways that can inform credit use and business growth. Send an email to our CTO at peytons@bondstreet.com if you’re interested.

Can arrange visa as needed.

MethodExists | Calgary, AB | Full-time | REMOTE | Backend developer with great SQL / Postgres experience

We are a Canadian company based in Calgary, but completely Remote, with developers all over the world. We are developing a universal web-based platform that can be customized for any industry. It is structured to allow non-technical people to edit everything from data model to forms and workflows and visualizations.

Some of the problems we're tackling: - universal and safe formula language that's easier than Excel's. - spinning up new sites instantly and allowing them to be hosted behind corporate firewalls - visual form and report editors - allowing business analysts to change data model live with zero downtime migrations

Some technologies we are using to achieve this: - Javascript, node.js, React, D3.js, Leaflet - Docker, Rancher - Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ

We are using Phabricator for project management, planning and code reviews. Communication happens through Slack and Google Hangouts. You should have an adequate intersection with UTC-7 and remote work experience! English is the language of communication, and quality communication is highly important. We write unit tests, lint, and continuously integrate with TeamCity. We are using all the best tools and philosophies to write high-quality code and automate and monitor delivery.

As we are Remote we do meet up from time to time, last time we met up to surf and hack in the Dominican Republic. Hired candidates will need to travel to meet teammates.

Your job will be writing backend APIs and coming up with the best SQL queries. You should know your database inside out, we are talking about automated migrations and deep schema analysis. You should also have a good idea about proper configuration, security and monitoring of the db cluster.

We offer a paid trial to prospective candidates, which are about deep immersion with the team, working completely integrated in the process. Your code will be reviewed by team-mates just like everyone else's does every time. This is about ensuring a good fit with team members and good productivity and understanding of our philosophy.

Please write to us and sell us on why you’re the right candidate. We don’t enforce a certain way of applying like CVs, so communicate in the way that best describes your value.

Do the people who think like seriously imagine that this is something reasonable and expectable, and not totally subjective to the style and habits of individual developers? I'm always baffled by managers or business people who seem to think quantification of productivity is easy. They must be incredibly lazy to not want to invest themselves in understanding what their developers are doing to gauge productivity themselves. Is this a sign of horrible management, or at least, as you say it, management that has become horribly out of touch with their developers?

Karius | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | Molecular Biology, Software (Full Stack), Computational Biology, Wet-lab Automation, Machine Learning

We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies. We're hiring molecular biologists, computational biologists, software engineers and data scientists. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.

If you're a software engineer, we're looking for experience in front-end, back-end, intrastructure, devops, bioinformatics, and machine learning. We have a varied list of challenges; we build large data processing pipelines to analyze data from in-house DNA sequencers, separate the signal from the noise and extract what we need, and visualize this in ways that are helpful for scientists and doctor; we build web apps and tools for biologists and doctors to use to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments; we work closely with molecular biologists to analyze data generated by these experiments and develop novel computational biology methods. We mostly use Haskell (for many things), Python (for bioinformatics), and React/ES6 (for front-end interfaces), backed by infrastructure built on top of AWS and Docker.

If any of this sounds exciting to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us: gstock@kariusdx.com
