TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | Eindhoven, the Netherlands | ON-SITE or REMOTE (Europe only)

TalkJS is the chat platform for platforms. We help online marketplaces build great user-to-user communication. Our product is a fully powered pluggable chat UI + real-time infrastructure so that our customers can focus on their market instead of on their messaging features.

SENIOR FULL STACK PROGRAMMER:

We're looking for an experienced programmer - the kind that could make it to "software architect" at a boring bigco but prefers to get their hands dirty. Our stack is made of Elixir, ES6, React, PostgreSQL and a little bit of Node. Some key challenges: cross platform SDKs, making excellent forward compatible APIs, combining great UX with high customizability, and scaling up to millions of concurrent requests.

We're particularly looking for true full stack engineers who can work on both the frontend and the backend. Sure, everybody has a sweet spot, but we're not currently looking for "true backenders" or "mobile devs" or something like that. No need to already know all of our stack if you're a fast learner. Bonus points if you're good at keeping things simple!

CONTENT MARKETER / WRITER:

We're looking for someone who a knack for tech who loves writing stories about how people use chat to make their lives and/or their apps better. Bonus points if you're good at happy customers or at SEO.

ABOUT YOU

Our team is small and highly proactive, and we expect the same from you. If you need to be told what to do all the time, don't apply. If you want to be the smartest person in a (chat) room full of interns, don't apply. If you want to move fast with an experienced team, get in touch.

We're a semi-distributed team and we work primarily online (like a fully distributed team). Both on-site and remote are OK, but Europe only: We'd like you to come over to our Eindhoven office frequently and keep timezones relatively close. Unfortunately we can't finance relocation at this moment.

Apply by sending an email to hey@talkjs.com.

SLAC Computer Science Research Dept. | Software Engineer | Menlo Park, CA | Full-time, Relocation Available

As part of a collaboration between the Computer Science Research Dept. at SLAC and the LCLS-II project, we're looking for a full-time engineer to help us build a high-performance monitoring system that will be used every single day once the machine comes up. This is a mission-critical system. The monitoring system will ingest between 100s of GB/s to 1 TB/s of data and be responsible for rendering it to the user in a way that will enable the science users to drive their experiments. Performance is obviously a goal here, but so are maintainability and extensibility. Building a system with low technical debt is a must for this project.

That project will be about 50% of your time; the other 50% will be more flexible and may involve engineering work on the next-generation runtime system Legion, which is a major project within our group. (http://legion.stanford.edu/)

Everything we do is open source.

We expect the monitoring system to be built primarily in Python and C++ on Linux using some combination of UI technologies (Qt), fault-tolerant storage technologies (Redis), high-performance compute (MPI or Legion), and high-performance networking (to interface with the data acquisition system).

For more information about the department, see:

We're working to put the official job ad out now. Please contact eslaught@slac.stanford.edu if you are interested (subject line "AMI Project") and I will forward the link when it is ready.
