AppDynamics -- San Francisco, CA -- H1B welcome

AppDynamics is a successful, well-funded startup in Application Performance Management space. Our product and business model are proving to be quite disruptive in a very large market. Companies like Netflix, Priceline.com, Deutsche Bank, Williams Sonoma, Betfair and Expedia are using AppDynamics to ensure the performance and availability of their revenue-critical applications.

AppDynamics' traditional products for JVM, CLR, PHP and Node.js kick ass at measuring server-side performance across your app. But with the shift to highly interactive websites and mobile apps, an increasing number of performance problems are caused by client-side code or internet latency. End-User Monitoring measures the performance that your real users' experience by instrumenting client-side platform APIs. EUM complements server-side monitoring, but comes with its own set of challenges:

* Client-side platforms are not designed for easy instrumentation. How can we extract meaningful performance data from web browsers, iOS, and Android?

* Client-side performance performance is confounded by the huge variability in devices, workloads, and network latency. How can we make sense of this complex, noisy, multi-dimensional data?

* How can we cope with the volume of performance data flooding in from millions/billions of users?

* How can we incorporate client-side and server-side data into a complete picture of app performance?

Here are the components of our system, and what it takes to work on them:

Browser Agent:

* Write fast, bulletproof instrumentation for JavaScript that can run inside any web app across hundreds of browser versions.

* Understand behavioral and performance idiosyncrasies of various browsers.

* Incorporate new timing specifications from W3C performance working group, but develop fallback timing techniques for other browsers.

Mobile Agents:

* Build fast, bulletproof instrumentation for iOS (Objective-C) and Android (Java) platform APIs that can run inside any app across thousands of devices.

* Understand mobile app architecture and frameworks, identify strategies to extract user actions, performance and system crash data.

* Understand iOS, Android, and Dalvik internals, and the characteristics and constraints of mobile platforms in general.

Cloud:

* This is the processing platform that receives data from the agents. It's a scalable data processor and analytics engine (think real-time map/reduce) built on Amazon Web Services.

* Process billions of end-user requests from some of the biggest sites in the world.

* Scale with AWS infrastructure components (EC2, S3, DynamoDB, EMR, etc).

* Ensure zero downtime, zero data loss, continuous deployment, multi tenant, multi version, etc.

* Analyze huge volumes of data with statistical techniques, machine learning, predictive analysis.

UI:

* Design and build learnable, usable, data-rich HTML5 UI that helps users discover, triage, and root-cause performance problems.

* We use AngularJS and TypeScript.

I work in the EUM team and we are looking to expand. If you have skills or interest pertaining to any of the above-mentioned areas, please write to me at bthomas@appdynamics.com

New York City - Thingi (working title)

Fulltime Hardware and Software Positions in NYC (Chelsea/Flatiron)

Be the one of the first engineers at a Samsung-backed hardware startup

Thingi is a startup at The Samsung Accelerator in NYC and we are hiring full-time engineers. This is an opportunity to jump in at the start of a project and do influential, fun, and rewarding work, which will get noticed quickly.

You want this job if you are after a non-trivial technical challenge, a startup environment and the ability to help shape and deliver a new consumer product. You'll be working with a small team of product designers and software engineers and hardware engineers to build a reliable, elegant and clever mobile accessory from scratch. As a team we need to prototype and take to production a system that involves consumer hardware, signal processing, data analytics and user interface. We don't have any boring jobs and if I could clone myself and simultaneously become a tech genius, I would apply.

Samsung Accelerator is a place for entrepreneurs and inventors to do good work in an aesthetically pleasing, friendly and respectful environment. You will be around a lot of other bright people working on many other products. It's a collaborative place to work where you'll get exposed to all kinds of ideas. And there are snacks.

On the software side, we like Python, Go, C and Clojure. We think that well-tested code is better code. We understand that Objective-C, Javascript and Java are the tools of the trade on certain platforms and do are best to create elegant and reliable high-performance software with them. On the hardware side we are likely using Bluetooth Low Energy and UWB in ultra-portable form factors. We are concerned with power consumption, size, wireless range and durability.

We’d prefer to hire you as a full-time employee (with benefits) but we can also hire you as a contractor if you’d prefer.

Specifically we are looking for first engineer in each of the following areas:

- Electrical Engineering/Hardware Design and Prototyping You'll perform system architecture, specify parts, layout the circuits, work on firmware and oversee production.

- Mechanical Engineering/Design and Prototyping You'll perform design for mechanical packaging, power and work with electrical engineers to oversee production.

- Software Engineering/Signal Processing You'll perform software architecture, algorithm development, rapid prototyping and production code.

- Software Engineering/UX Development You'll perform rapid prototyping, web development, mobile app development and production code.

Please send inquiries to jobs@thingi.co and include a résumé, references and descriptions of any relevant projects.

I'm a senior manager at KRS. We're a bootstrapped and profitable start-up. We're building a nation-wide coalition loyalty program and already have thousands of clients and thousands of locations on the program. Our clients include a half-dozen Fortune 50 companies - one that is an anchor partner in our coalition loyalty program. As the Director of Software Development I need some help!

Your job will be to analyze our "large" data-sets, identify patterns, determine consumer sentiment and provide them with incredible offer. Looking for someone with extensive programming and modeling experience using the Hadoop ecosystem. At KickBack you will research and implement new scalable learning algorithms and data mining techniques including sequential data models, variable discretization, feature extraction, selection, and construction. Machine learning a plus. We're looking for an expert someone we would consider a "game changer" and are paying accordingly.

Back-end Developer

We're looking for a pro that can create scalable back-ends. Message queues, concurrency and fault tolerance should be second-nature to you.

Front-end Developer

We're looking for an expert in Angular whom can pair with our aforementioned world-class back-end developer. Heck, if you aren't an angular pro, anyone with amazing front-end skills will do, you can pick-up our framework or suggest a better one as you work in to the role. UX skills a plus. Like any start-up, we're big on usability.

Mobile Developer

We're looking for two mobile developers. We have a specific vision for our mobile platform and have already moved past html5 interfaces to native applications to improve performance.

DevOps

(Multiple positions) We're looking for a Hadoop cluster administrator, a security operations manager and an overall DevOps engineer proficient in Chef, Celery, Message Queues, Networking, BGP AnyCast, etc. We'll always train the right candidate so junior developers and candidates fresh out of a university are welcome to apply.

Thanks!

PredPol.

We make a web app that processes historical data for police departments (just time, place, type of past crime) and predicts where crime is going to happen in the future. Then cops go to the risky areas and try and stop a crime before it happens. Rails devs, iOS apps, please email me if you're looking for a job. We're growing too fast for our team of 4 to handle while still sleeping well.

Everyone in the company works remotely, so there's no geographical excuse not to talk.

It is interesting that you are going from Java --> Rails rather than the other way around.

That's what I was thinking. Or at least not Java to Scala.
