BuzzSumo | buzzsumo.com | REMOTE | Full Time

BuzzSumo provides social insights to marketers and publishers. We run extensive crawlers that crawl the entire web 24/7, storing terabytes of data that need to be indexed, processed and queried. Our SaaS product is used by over 3400 customers, ranging from publishers like BuzzFeed to Fortune 500 brands like Disney.

We are looking for a backend engineer with at least 3+ years of Ruby experience. We prefer candidates with experience working with either large Elasticsearch clusters, or enterprise-scale Sidekiq deployments. If you hate front-end work, or love writing crawlers, you're probably what we are looking for :) Our entire team works remotely.

What you'll be doing:

- Build new backend features for the BuzzSumo platform using Ruby as our main programming language. Some NLP/machine learning might be required in future projects.

- Occasionally perform devops-related tasks such as upgrades on existing infrastructure (ie Elasticsearch servers)

Tech Stack

- Elasticsearch

- Sidekiq

- Ruby/Ruby on Rails

- Postgres

- Redis

Note: This role is remote, but must be based out of UK, France, Germany or these states in the US: New York, Georgia, Washington, Texas, California, or Illinois.

Krzana | London, UK | Full Time | Onsite

Krzana provides tools for journalists to find and research news stories.

We care about journalism. We run an NLU pipeline that processes most of the real-time news and social media content on the web.

We're looking for full-stack developers in both junior and mid-senior level roles.

We have a strong in-house training culture and are building products beyond the edge of existing tech. We are more interested in intelligence, motivation and problem solving ability than experience. An interest in natural languages, politics, sport or journalism will help.

Details and application: https://angel.co/krzana/jobs

Worldwide, REMOTE, full time or part time -- 100% flexibility. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (https://karat.io)

Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.

I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.

Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.

Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.

The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...

I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.

P.S. We're also hiring for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: https://karat.io/careers, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.

fly.io | Writer / Dev Advocate | Chicago or Remote | Full Time fly.io is an open source, programmable CDN. Developers write JavaScript Edge Applications locally, test them, and deploy across our global network of servers.

We're hiring to improve our publishing! You might want to apply if you enjoy JavaScript and writing for developers. You'll be really good for this role if you can come up with interesting ideas and turn them into finished content. We're remote first, and super flexible, so you hopefully like talking to other people on Slack and getting together with the rest of the company every few months. If you like giving talks and going to conferences, you can do that too (but it's not a requirement).

Publishing is one of the most important things we do. It's how devs learn about us, how we get customers, and a good thing to work on if you want your work to a direct impact. This is not a secondary job at an already successful company, this hire matters.

Example content:

* https://fly.io/articles/fly-edge-apps-advanced-http-routing/

* https://onehostname.com

Salary is is competitive, our equity grants are relatively large (up to 2% of the company), and we offer health benefits for US based employees.

To apply, send an email to jobs@fly.io. Please include a developer focused writing sample, and links to any code you've written.
