For the right candidate anything is possible :-) However at this time everyone on the team is mostly located in Oslo so this is something we would have to consider as a special case. We're not primarily an C++ shop (we're not primarily anything really), but we do use some C++ in parts of the realtime processing code. We do occasionally use objective C when writing for iOS, but we haven't done that for many months now. Primarily we're using javascript, java (for serverside signalling and handset android apps), various scripting languages (python, shell, ...) and whatever is useful to solve the problem at hand.

Do you need Mathematicians?

Ravelin is a new type of fraud company. We are pragmatic in our approach to solving the crime of fraud, which means using bleeding edge technologies coupled with tried and proven methods. We are looking for smart people who have or are willing to learn new skills (machine learning, neural networks, python, golang, cloud automation etc) and are capable of working autonomously, yet are friendly and respectful enough to work in a small team.

As a founding employee, you will be invited to have opinions about direction and product. Your background is unimportant, we care about where you want to go, not where you've been. CV and your github/whatever profiles to jobs@ravelin.com

Are you guys doing anything to improve the reports of poor work/life balance? I really feel like you'd attract a lot more engineers that way, and get higher quality work out of them?
