Planet [https://planet.com] | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, onsite

We're looking for senior software engineers to join our geo-platform team. Planet runs a large data processing pipeline that crunches terabytes of imagery per day downloaded from our custom, manufactured-in-the-office satellites. We run a cloud-first, API-driven architecture with the goal of enabling everyone in the world to access our imagery. Our ‘full stack’ runs from the spacecraft to our web tools, and there are enough hard and interesting problems to keep many teams busy for a long time to come.

Our mission is to image the entire Earth every day, and provide universal access to that data. A platform engineer not only builds public API’s and interfaces, but will be an integral part in the architecture and design of high availability, scalable, maintainable services to power our mission. If you're interested email stephanie@planet.com. We also have other jobs open here: https://www.planet.com/careers/

RepSpark Systems | Costa Mesa, CA | Full-time | ONSITE | $60k-$90k

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET Core 1.0, SQL Server, Redis, RethinkDB, React.js, and mobx (http://stackshare.io/repspark/repspark).

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!

>The interview process is several phone screens, a take home coding challenge, and finally an on-site interview. It has become really arduous to switch tech jobs these days. I've been spending close to 20-25hrs/job-application even before on-site interview which is another 2 days of time sink. I've used up a major chunk of my vacation this point just for tech interviews. Feel angry and powerless. Maybe next year!!

Does make me appreciate interviews for contractors, quick phone screen and a face to face for everyone I've done so far. Recruiters for these roles seem far less inclined to waste any time.

Interesting to see something in Medford - how'd that happen? Someone didn't want to move, or...? Nice area in any event.

Hey davidw, definitely a fair question. Truth is we actually started here and really want to grow here because we love the area. Thanks for your comment!

Pachyderm | Lead the front-end engineering team | SF ONSITE

pachyderm.io, github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm

Email: jobs@pachyderm.io

Pachyderm is looking for a Javascript expert to lead and own the entire web front-end, analytics dashboard, and data browser! Pachyderm is just 5 people right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.

Experience with full product life cycles and designing interfaces that are easily updated over time as products evolve is a must. Some backend server-side experience is also a nice plus, but not a strict requirement.

Right now Pachyderm's core technology just hit v1.1 and is production-ready. The next phase is to build a hosted service including administration panel and advanced data visualization tools.

Salaries start at $120k and go up from there based on experience. We also offer significant equity (0.5-2%), full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF.

Positions:

* Lead Front-end JS engineer

* Full-stack backend/web services engineer

* Core distributed systems/infrastructure engineer

Our hiring process is focused around strong communication skills and simulating our actual work environment, not BS coding questions.

Read more about our company vision and goals:

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!

Binti [https://binti.com/] | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, onsite

Binti makes software that is transforming child welfare services administration. We work together in SF and are growing rapidly.

Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that delivers value in heaps and heaps, and remains super fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher and higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two (perhaps in Elixir?). Specific engineering roles we have open are for someone that is highly-opinionated on the front-end stack/practices, a security specialist, and a UX/a11y specialist. We're using Kubernetes/Google Cloud.
