Sounds like fun. I wonder though what 'intellectual freedom' means? It can't, for instance, mean 'disagree with the premise that testable code is the highest good' for instance.

Hi Joe, We're always in for a good discussion (and even better: good arguments)on the reasons why we do what we do. How do we serve our long term goals best? That's the question we'd like to answer.

Good answer. I'm not criticizing testability, but passion and intellectual freedom just seemed at odds to me.

A better discussion would be, how did the language and tools get chosen? Is it a drive for some uniformity only? Different tools are good for different purposes of course, and I'm guessing in your solution there are different problem domains, not all served by a single choice of tool.

A good question to ask during the interview I guess.

Good luck with your new direction!

Front Row Education (https://www.frontrowed.com/) - San Francisco, Fulltime

== Position ==

Early Full-stack web engineer to join fast-growing education startup that changes how hundreds of thousands of kids learn math. Email jobs@frontrowed.com

== TL;DR - Reasons to care about working with Front Row ==

- A mission you can be proud of: kids using Front Row improve twice as much at math - Tremendous impact on a small team - Flexibility on what you work on, and autonomy over your schedule - Effective & exciting tools: Clojure, Haskell, PostgreSQL, Backbone.js, Ansible - Be part of a growing success: in just over a year after launch, we are in more than 6% of all US schools

== The Business ==

Millions of teachers around the USA are struggling to help 30+ students in their class learn math because every student is in their own place. In a typical fourth grade classroom, there may be students learning to count, students learning to add, students learning to multiply, and students learning how exponents work - and one teacher somehow needs to address all these needs.

Thousands of teachers use Front Row every day to save hours of time and make sure their students are growing quickly. Front Row active users have been growing 100% a month for the past 8 school months.

== The Role ==

As one of our very first engineers, you will be part of a team of developers who are passionate about their vocation, take pride in their craft and who push each other to grow as professionals. You will strive for pragmatism and 80/20 in your work. You will be using tools that provide you with the most leverage and make you most effective. By working really smart, you will produce more than the average developer ever will, but without the crazy hours.

You will work in an effective team that plans, executes and reflects together. Because we’re a small team, everything you create will go into production and be used by students. You will never do unimportant work: every contribution will make a clear and tangible impact on the company’s trajectory. Your personal success will be directly aligned with that of the company.

Most importantly, your work will have purpose: Front Row is a mission-driven company that takes pride in making a significant impact in the lives of hundreds of thousands of students.

== Benefits ==

- Competitive salary - Generous equity option grants - Medical, Dental, and Vision - Food budget - Work from home up to 1 day a week, extremely flexible work schedule - Team meal outing every week, and half-day event every month (trip to Sonoma, BBQ, etc) - Equipment budget - Flexible, untracked vacation day policy - Working from Runway - one of the best startup coworking locations right in the heart of San Francisco

OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent)

At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills.

More info: http://opensignal.com/jobs/ Email us: join@opensignal.com

Backend Ruby Developer / Data Geek - Charlie - Chicago, IL

Before any meeting, Charlie automatically researches the people you’re about to meet. Researching people is a complex problem: we sift through, analyze, and manipulate data into powerful insights (i.e. what are they passionate about, what do you have in common?). We’re a VC-backed startup and growing like crazy.

We’ve built Charlie on Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Redis, Sidekiq, RSpec, Capybara, and it lives on an elastic server farm. We iterate fast, practice continuous delivery, process-driven, and very test-focused.

We’re looking for a backend Ruby developer who wants to make an impact in a growing startup. If this sounds like you, drop us a line and let’s talk! jobs+hn@charlieapp.com

Why we’re special:

* Take as much vacation as you need.

* Flexible working situation: hours, location

* Competitive salary + equity

* VC-backed, funded startup

* Everyone deploys to production (fully automated, painless)

* Free coffee, free beer (after you’ve had your coffee)

* We go out and do fun things (concerts, Bulls & Cubs games, and occasionally ski in Colorado)

Requirements:

* Back-end developer, front-end is a plus

* Ruby on Rails preferred, but you can learn.

* DB experience (SQL or NoSQL?)

* Not afraid of the front-end (HTML5, jQuery, Coffeescript, bootstrap, Sass, Slim)

* Test your code (Rspec, capybara, cucumber, etc)

* Hobbyist: Working on a side project to learn new technology?

* Creative problem solver

* Git / Github

* Smart & gets things done.

Chicago, IL

Apply Interested? Hollar at us. email jobs+hn@charlieapp.com.

ShareLaTeX - UK, full-time, remote, first non-founder developer.

Help us empower scientists by building usable research tools.

We’re looking for a full stack web developer to join us as employee number 1 at ShareLaTeX (www.sharelatex.com). Our flagship product is an online LaTeX editor that makes it trivial to get started with LaTeX and collaborate with your colleagues. Students and scientists love us, and now we’re looking to expand our team so that we can solve similar workflow problems in data analysis and numerical modelling (using Python and R).

You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* We don’t expect you to have to fill up a 9-5, 40 hour work week. A work/life balance is important and we don’t think programming is an activity that can be neatly time boxed.

* You can work fully remotely (in fact, you probably will). The founders work remotely already.

* We’re a bootstrapped company with no outside investors.

Send me an email: james@sharelatex.com
