London, United Kingdom - Geckoboard - http://geckoboard.com - ONSITE (but some working from home is no problem)

Geckoboard is a successful and growing 25-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant, real-time dashboards solve a difficult but valuable problem for thousands of paying subscribers, by taking the complexity out of connecting to their data and making that data simple for anyone to interpret at a glance. As a result, our customers unlock data they didn't know they had, connect people and join up projects, and make better decisions faster.

We have a lot of exciting work ahead and are looking for curious and creative problem solvers to help develop our product and take it to even more customers. You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions, and a focus on skill development.

We are looking for full-time senior engineers, both front- and back-end. A variety of skills for modern, scalable web applications - e.g. React, Javascript, Go, Ruby, Chef - are of interest, but we like to have people learn on the job so don't worry about any you might be missing. See our jobs page for details: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/

We’re constantly striving to ensure that we offer the most encouraging, supportive and efficient environment possible. We want everyone on the team to be empowered to influence our architectural decisions. The whole team is involved in prioritising and evaluating our work and we regularly program in pairs to share knowledge, promote collaboration, and improve our code quality.

We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home lets you work in a way that fits you and your family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days' paid holiday as a lower bound for everyone in the organisation, not a limit.

We actively contribute to personal and professional development and have a minimum budget allowance to be spent on courses, conferences, and books. We also run fortnightly "innovation days", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open source, to learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.

StitchFix - San Francisco, CA - [REMOTE OK!] - http://stitchfix.com

We're doing TONS of hiring, and solving some REALLY interesting problems. I just joined as Principal Engineer and I'm loving it. The business is an advanced algorithms & machine learning recommendation engine applied to a Women's Fashion e-commerce / subscription service.

In english, we send our clients an outfit every few weeks, our algorithm and our stylists choose the perfect outfit for our customers, and they LOVE it. Just search instagram for hashtag "#stitchfix" and see how many of our customers post happy pictures of themselves receiving this month's "Fix'. Our customer referral-to-friend statistic is off the charts.

We're hiring for these roles: Senior Full Stack Rails Engineer, Head of DevOps, Lead iOS Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientists, Product Designer, UX Designer

On the business side, it's a startup but we're profitable and we're not planning on seeking additional funding! Its amazing to be part of a company that is experiencing so much growth and success.

On the Engineering side, we're solving some really interesting problems. The Principal Engineer role which I just started is a very interesting type of position. We do not have Product Managers, and Principal Engineers are responsible for a part of the business (I'm responsible for part of the consumer facing web site). They are responsible for driving the product forward, working with all the stakeholders and then also implementing the solutions. I'm only 2 weeks in and I already think this is how all companies should operate (sorry PM's!)

There is an entire separate department we call AA (Algorithms and Analytics), they are also hiring like crazy. They are working on really advanced machine learning recommendation algorithm and with every little improvement of the algorithm they can see real impact of increased sales and increase customer-sat (Tim Cook's favorite quotes stat, which stands for Customer Satisfaction)

Anyway...don't let the industry put you off, the smartest, most driven but nicest people work here and you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least consider it :)

Check out our engineering and algorithms web site: http://technology.stitchfix.com/ and here is our jobs page https://www.stitchfix.com/careers.

Email me at gsteinitz (at) stitchfix (dot) com and I can answer any questions for you, or connect you with the hiring manager depending on which job you're interested in.
