I have been here literally that entire period. Nobody has ever mentioned drug testing taking place at any point. I interviewed in NYC on October 15th, 2013, nobody mentioned urine testing. I started working in NYC on February 10th, 2014, nobody mentioned urine testing. I actually work in this office . You don't. Your "someone" doesn't.

I don't dispute your own observations; like I said, it's perfectly possible that the policy was being inconsistently applied. For example, if they were hired to work in a different group from yours. And as said, it's not all unsurprising that you wouldn't necessarily know about it. These things happen all the time in large companies, with distributed teams all over the world. That said, it's rather uncivil of you acc…

It's also uncivil to accuse my employers, repeatedly, of a policy that you have no hard evidence of or personal experience with, except one person's hearsay. I understand it's your friend. I am still disagreeing with him or her.

For those reading along: you will not be asked by Pivotal to submit to such a test, either when applying or upon being hired.

If this turns out be false, I will personally pay $2,000 to the ACLU or another charity of your choice.

WalmartLabs - Clojure Developer. | SF | Remote (US Timezones) | H1B VISA

You can work on Clojure at quite a few companies, but rarely can you impact millions of people at such a personal level. We're a small, flat team of engineers building mission critical applications for Walmart Grocery. We work with our own tools and make our own build-or-borrow decisions. Our culture is a healthy mix of sharing and pushing each other to be better at our craft. We use pull requests & code reviews liberally. We make refactoring time. We deploy often, with a single line of code run from a REPL. Engineers on our team are challenged to work through our full software stack and be part of our product management. We believe that people are more engaged, fulfilled and happy when they feel responsible for actually shipping their work.

Some aspects of our work that are important to us:

  - high performance distributed systems 
  - robust & well-factored codebases 
  - simple & fast deployments 
  - automating the hell out of operations 
  - thorough system test coverage 
  - managing our own development process and work backlog 
  - pair programming when it makes sense (locally and remotely) 
  - contributing back to the clojure & open source community

What we do:

  - write all our production systems & tools in Clojure 
  - create and orchestrate massive distributed systems 
  - spin up web services for handling large volumes of data

For a glimpse behind the scenes, check out a talk we gave at Clojure/West last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av9Xi6CNqq4.

Does this sound like something you're into? Shoot me an email at mfoster@walmartlabs.com

UCLA Library (http://library.ucla.edu) | Linux Development Support Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Full-time career, onsite | 2 positions available

This is a new role within the UCLA Library's IT team. We have two positions open for Linux Development Support Engineers.

Here is the link to the job description and to apply: http://ucla.in/25noTHw

We are looking for Senior Linux System Administrators with backgrounds in supporting development teams and project managers. What's great about this position is the autonomy we have to create environments that serve the vision of the Library. We'll be working on creating continuous integration methods, using configuration management tools, developing infrastructures in in-house virtual infrastructures and in clouds services (like Amazon).

We value candidates' communication, organization, documentation, and overall "soft skills" just as high, if not more so, than technical abilities.

We are a fun IT organization with many interesting projects. We support websites that host collections of materials where our Library has the only copies of the images, audio, and video in the entire world. We are working through challenges for how to preserve terabytes of data where if they're lost, there's no getting them back.

The Library is a place where we learn something new every day, and is an awesome place to come to work.

Happy to answer and questions you may have: sgurnick at library dot ucla dot edu

Thread.com (YC S12) | Software Engineer (Data/Machine Learning)| London, UK | Full-time | Onsite

We're a startup that's using human stylists and machine learning algorithms to reinvent how shopping works for men (and someday women) who want to dress well but dislike shopping. In the process we're helping them to feel happier and more confident about themselves. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.

You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with lots of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). We're lucky to have had a lot of success bringing together exceptional people in design, machine learning/AI and engineering, and we're now focussed on finding our first dedicated data engineer. You'll be working closely with Ed Snelson, Thread's Head of Applied Research and a world leader in data science, to build systems to improve our recommendations. Using data to help our users dress well is at the core of what we do; it's not a nice-to-have bolted onto the product. You'll be responsible for building predictive model training pipelines, assisting with model feature development, data warehousing, and working with the styling and product teams to ensure our clients receive the best experience possible.

Jvion | Atlanta, GA | Relocation | ONSITE

At Jvion we use machine learning and data science to help improve patient outcomes. We have our solution live in several hospital systems, and help hospitals identify patients who'll have bad outcomes. We help hospitals intervene early - and help patients avoid suffering.

We are looking for talented data engineers to join our team. We work with several data sources - from clinical data sources directly from hospitals, to public data sets, to socioeconomic datasets. Our data engineers help incorporate all this data into a single dataset that's used for modeling, and for real-time scoring of patients.

We're looking for someone who's independent and curious, and has strong SQL skills. Knowledge of healthcare is a plus, but not necessary. We use Amazon Web Services for our entire stack, so prior experience with that would also be a plus.

Full job description at this link:
