San Francisco; Full Time; Onsite

I'm the cofounder of Figma (www.figma.com), a startup in San Francisco building a browser-based collaborative design tool to improve the way designers and developers work together. We're a small team and we're looking for talented engineers (www.figma.com/careers) who are interested in tackling hard technical problems with smart people and building a product that startups will rely on.

Upcoming/ongoing projects:

- Develop a plugin ecosystem from the ground up - Build a community of design content and tools from scratch - Cross-document shared symbols - Multiplayer editing infrastructure (realtime simultaneous editing using CRDTs)

Our tech stack: C++, Emscripten, Node, TypeScript, React, WebGL, Ruby, Sinatra

If you're interested in learning more about what we're working on or want to meet up to talk about any of my other projects (http://madebyevan.com/), you can email me at wallace@figma.com.

>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!!

Is it because there is a large surplus of awesome candidates these, that companies can afford to make them jump through any number of hoops? Or are software engineers, in average, getting more arrogant these days ? (_genuine_ question I've had for some time now)

Interviewing can take up a noticeable number of developer hours precisely when a team needs more of them. I suspect they're trying to cut down on the number of full day interviews needed. Too often, it's clear within minutes that a person isn't a match.

Or maybe they're reacting to how little we can learn from a single interview by adding more hoops. Either way, it's a broken system. If anyone has a solution, I'll build it :)

Crossfield Digital | New York, NY | full-time or contract, remote | http://www.crossfield.com

We build websites and mobile apps for the sports industry. We're currently working on a variety of interesting and high-profile projects utilizing the latest real-time technology.

We're seeking a front end (CSS, JS) specialist to augment our small, multi-disciplinary team of developers (with a focus on Rails). Looking for someone who loves building responsive/adaptive websites that look great at any screen size. You should be self-motivated and confident in your ability to complete projects without daily guidance (we're always on Slack but don't have daily meetings, and count on everyone to manage their own work; within limits, we each set our own schedule).

We are all involved in the open source community and love helping each other grow as developers. A visual design background is great but not required. An interest in sports, too, is great but not required.
