Stealth Consumer IoT Company | San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX (US only) | Lead Embedded Engineer, Lead Android Applications Engineer

ABOUT

We're a seed-funded stealth consumer electronics company that's building a product poised to change the way people experience their homes and bring them material improvements to their health and well being. The opportunity is enormous, making our work exciting, challenging and rewarding when we look at how our company stands to make people's lives better. We're a small team so you'll have the opportunity to be a part of the early team and build critical parts of our company.

OUR CORE VALUES

Users Come First- We're building a product for people and our decisions should be made with them in mind.

Be Bold - Our goals are ambitious and so should our solutions. We're not afraid to be different.

Design + Iterate - The best products result from and understanding the problem and honing solutions with user feedback. We want the best answer.

Transparency - We value making decisions and process very open so that everyone can focus on the important stuff.

Distribute Accountability - We make the decisions at the lowest level possible by the people how know the most about them. Make decisions and own them.

Show Not Talk - We focus on results and not activities.

Riot Games - Los Angeles, CA / St. Louis, MO - Onsite - Full-Time - Software Engineer

We make the game League of Legends, which by various metrics is the most played PC game in the world. That means we have some really fun problems that come with operating at scale, worldwide, 24/7.

We're hiring for a bunch of things (http://riotgames.com/careers) in a few locations worldwide, but I wanted to specifically plug my team, Service Availability. We basically manage all the 'behind the scenes' stuff from data centers to backend microservices. It feels like a tech startup within a game company -- many of our engineers have tech-industry backgrounds (Google, Amazon, Netflix, MS etc).

Engineering blog: https://engineering.riotgames.com/

We're solving problems from the infrastructure layer up, making it easy for developers internally to launch and operate services worldwide, regardless of the underlying hardware/cloud. e.g. building a Docker-based cluster, deployment and build tools, microservice frameworks and interoperability standards, monitoring, logging, and other developer-experience type features. We're also working on services that use that stack to deliver awesome new things to players, e.g. the Riot API. We write a lot of Go, which I'm really excited about.

Our culture is also really interesting, especially for a games company. We've got some Fortune awards etc, but the TLDR is: we have work-life balance, we are focused around personal growth, individuals are very empowered to make change and be part of decision making, and we are very feedback-driven. If you like working in a silo we are not the place for you. We value engineering breadth and the ability to level others up.

If you're a gamer with a tech industry background (you don't have to be a massive League of Legends player, but if you hate the game, you probably won't have a great time working here), you like developer platforms, microservices, distributed systems and scaling problems... we should talk. I'm jlees at riotgames dot com, Jellybear ingame, or you can apply via our site.

PS: Working at a games company surrounded by people who love games as much as you do is really freakin' cool.

HERE Capture Software Team | Berkeley | ONSITE | Full Stack Developer (Full-time)

Imagine a future where an autonomous vehicle can detect a rockslide or traffic accident on the road ahead and update the navigation data of surrounding vehicles in real-time. HERE is working on both the technological challenges underpinning that future, and international standards and specifications required to allow that to happen between all vehicles, regardless of their make. HERE is in a unique position to bring this vision into being, integrating the rapid advances coming out of the Internet of Things, distributed processing technologies and sensor-rich autonomous vehicle development.

A little about HERE: HERE collects, sustains and serves up mapping and navigational data with a global reach. Recently acquired by BMW, Audi and Mercedes for ~2.8 billion USD, HERE's focus on the future of autonomous vehicles is set to intensify.

Positions on my team: Full-stack engineer (More back-end focused than front-end) http://rolp.co/5WFW9

About my team: We are the Capture Systems Software team. We build the software running on our data collection systems across the globe; receiving the transmissions and messaging from those systems into our cloud-based services; and the web interfaces used across the company for monitoring and tracking the fleet and it's collection. Currently I'm building out mapping interfaces to track where our sensors are and what they are detecting, in real-time.

Other members of the team are: -Building out the Android applications used by drivers in our full sensor rigs, -Architecting AWS-based cloud services for receiving, processing, storing and serving the high volume of messages coming out of HERE sensors, -Improving and stream-lining the robotics software that runs on sensor hardware itself, and -Standardizing the deployment processes for all of these projects, running in very different environments.

If you can contribute to any of those functional roles, reach out! Positions for DevOps, Android development and more back-end focused roles are opening up shortly, so contact me if you want to know about those once they are released.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 A…

Actually they do have hard evidence of their trip to the drug lab (in the form of emails; voicemails possibly also; and very likely paper receipts from the lab itself, if they haven't been thrown out).

More importantly, though -- you're doing better now, but your closing remarks are still backhanded and wishy-washy. Can't you just say:

"I'm sorry to hear about your friend's experience; all I can say is that nothing like that has ever happened to me, or anyone at Pivotal I know, and I'd be very surprised if such a policy, if ever widely applied at Pivotal, were still in force anywhere in the company."

And leave it at that?
