Docker is looking for Full-Time Engineers across our Datacenter, Front-end, and Test/Release teams (among other things!)If you already work on Docker, why not work at the core itself?! Apply to the link above. :)
migenius specialises in photorealistic 3D rendering for the cloud and web applications. Our main product, RealityServer, provides a simple web services based API to the NVIDIA Iray rendering engine. We both license software and build custom solutions for our users. We are based in Melbourne, Australia with offices in London and Tokyo and are establishing a presence in the US. We are looking for a developer to work embedded with one of our key customers. Midtown Manhattan location.
Ideally we are looking for something of a generalist since the demands of the role will evolve over time (sometimes in short spaces of time). The successful applicant should have strong software development skills and be able to quickly work through helping determine feasibility and mock up of potential ideas but will also potentially be working on production development as well.
Flexibility in working hours is important since there is a need to overlap some of the working day with the team in Australia. Initially after starting there would also be a requirement to spend 2-3 months in Australia working directly with our team to get oriented and obtain a good overview of our technologies. Good communication skills are essential as customer interaction is required. If you want to sit down and code uninterrupted from sun-up to sunset then this probably isn't the role for you.
The role will require working with high end 3D technologies both developed internally and licensed from third-parties. The visual nature of the results achieved working on our projects is extremely rewarding and there are also lots of interesting toys to play with such as servers crammed with GPUs and remote GPU clusters. We have a close partnership with NVIDIA and their advanced rendering team (our CEO, that's me, is a former NVIDIA and mental images employee).
No specific technologies listed here since we have flexible requirements and are more looking for the right fit with someone who is interested in what we are doing and can work on multiple ideas and projects at once. If you are interested in 3D graphics, particularly photorealistic rendering as well as web development, CAD, architecture or design we cut across all of these types of areas.
Interview if conducted prior to mid-August would be in person with me and our customer in New York, if after that interview would be remote. We don't generally do coding exercises in the interview but we will be looking for an ability to talk in detail about your previous project and experiences and ideally you should have something you can actually show of your past work. Email jobs@migenius.com if the position sounds interesting, please mention Hacker News when contacting us so we know it was from here.
I don't recommend you to apply for this company. In case you want to apply, you can look at my solution for the first round. ( http://jsfiddle.net/cjgg1ckc )
Did you have any issues with the BaseCase recruitment process? I'll try my best to answer any questions you may have.
Glancing at the logs, I think you are objecting to the fact it took ~9 business days to review your solution? I agree that this is long (and longer than usual). I can confirm that I'm restructuring how we handle our recruitment process to speed-up the review process (more people are being involved in the process).
As a courtesy, I would ask that you refrain from posting solutions to our screening tests here. It defeats their purpose, and potentially wastes multiple people's time (both mine and the applicants).
Regards,
Diarmuid / CTO of BaseCase
I'm a developer at Readmore in Amsterdam and we're currently looking for an on-site developer. We're a small company, so you'd need to be comfortable working with a variety of technologies. We're currently growing and refreshing our systems, so there would be a good deal of both responsibility and freedom in the position. If you'd like more information please don't hesitate to get in touch.
In case you're wondering, our back-end systems use Ruby+Rails, Go, and some PHP. On the front-end we do HTML/CSS/JS on the web, and we have native applications for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
Thanks!

Academia.edu is addressing two problems:
- Open access. The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free.
- The reproducibility crisis. It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the scientific literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis"
With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 13 million pdfs to Academia.edu, and upload about 1 million a month. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers.
With regard to reproducibility, we think the way to solve the reproducibility crisis is to build a new peer review system that (a) crowd-sources peer review from the academic community and (b) provides credit to material that journals don't publish (data-sets, code, replications, failed replications).
Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (a) and (b). We realize that addressing reproducibility is a huge challenge. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us. We have raised $17.7 million from Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."
We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

OpenRent | London, UK (Brixton) | https://www.openrent.co.uk | Full-Time | ONSITE OpenRent is the way people rent property online - a force for good in an industry tarnished by rip-off agencies. Enabled by an unrelenting focus on technology, we now let more properties than any high-street agency in the UK. In the last 12m we let over £9.5bn worth of property, without charging any admin fees to tenants. We're hiring d…
Excited to see a platform that doesn't charge fees to tenants. The rental industry in the UK, and especially London, is ripe for disruption. No fees is a good first step. Another example, one search criteria that many renters will not compromise on is shared housing, yet many (all?) platforms do not offer this search filter. Gotta admit the salary range for the lead engineer position is worrying. You won't find anyon…
Probably not at £55k either.

H5mag is the platform to create beautiful online magazines. We're aimed at graphic designers — who often are still focused on print media and have almost no online design experience — and enable them to create responsive online interactive magazines. Our platform makes something that for them used to be almost impossible, magically easy — and the enthusiasm we receive from our users is extremely rewarding.
Technically: the H5mag editor is basically a big Javascript web app. Our backend is a relatively simple data store/rendering layer written in PHP/MySQL.
Some concrete things we want you to work on in the coming period...
* Improve the performance of our editor and reader front-end, eliminate relayouts and repaints * Make our users happy with new, often requested features, such as guides & grids and undo/redo * Develop improvements for our editor, such as a new edition management UX and new styling widgets * Work with us on a system for real-time collaborative editing * Want to know what moves our users? Participate in our designer workshops and discover their needs.
We're still a small team of developers and UX designers, so you have quite the opportunity to make your mark. Want to know more? Shoot off an email to me: joost [dot] schuttelaar [at] h5mag.com and I'd be happy to share!
