Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time. I have recently taken up a role to build a payment network from scratch, out of Bangalore, India. It is funded by a big corporation, but will be arms-distance from their central business. It is a large, complex and fascinating problem to crack. The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this. In the past I have built…

I like your username :)

i know more than a dozen of friends who applied and never got any response back neither from you neither from that jaredf@scribd.com .

+1

We should start a service, similar to downforeveryoneorjustme.com, that lets us aggregate info about which companies do not provide any type of response when rejecting a candidate.

It's such a rude thing to do; probably the companies themselves would be glad for it so they could see the poor perception it generates and then work to fix it with an easy solution like polite but automated rejection emails.

The fact that many companies already do this, companies of all sizes and facing all manner of different magnitudes of applicant pool size, really makes the effect stark too. You pretty much have to very actively choose a policy of utterly not replying; an excuse like "we get too many applications to reply to them all" or "we can't afford to build an application response system right now" just don't work given that some companies receiving huge amounts of applications, some early stage companies deep in the throes of building their first product, and even some companies facing both problems simultaneously, already do it.

Cafe.com (NYC) - Front-end/Full-stack/Back-end engineers

Cafe is hiring! Looking for a range of engineers (front-end, full-stack, etc). Python knowledge is a plus.

These technologies power Cafe, but experience in them is not required: — Microservices written in Node.js and Python — Persistence via Redis, MongoDB, and Postgres — Deployment on AWS with Docker — JavaScript apps leveraging Rendr and Knockout.js

They're building: web scrapers which analyze content across the web (with NLP and Amazon Mechanical Turk) to identify promising writers, a platform which makes it easy for non-technical writers to publish interactive stories, and analytics which model how ideas and stories flow across the web in real time. As a developer at Cafe, you'll be using technology to inform and entertain millions of people while driving clickbait off the web.

Cafe is a new digital publication which seeks to reach millions of people through meaningful stories. We're founded by a successful entrepreneur who sold his last company to Amazon for $545 million and haven't taken any outside funding. Our mission is to publish great, original ideas that make human connections, whether they're serious or fun. We're building first-class technical and analytical tools to further our mission of popularizing great content, including our own proprietary content management system and analytics platform. We believe that great technology is essential to creating a powerful digital presence and that the tools of the past are insufficient for the present. We want you to be part of building these next-generation tools. You can read more about us in this letter from our founder.

Email mo@step.com if you're interested!

SF (Burlingame) - DevOps Engineer/SysAdmin - Collaborative Drug Discovery, Inc.

We're the leading hosted collaborative drug discovery informatics platform. Scientists around the world manage, analyze and securely collaborate around their data using CDD Vault. This type of collaboration is crucial to research on under-funded diseases like Tuberculosis and Malaria and also provides a strategic, competitive advantage in commercial markets.

Our long list of customers (https://www.collaborativedrug.com/pages/who) includes academic labs, biotechs, big pharmas, government laboratories, as well as leading funders of collaborations like the NIH, the EU FP7, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We're small, profitable, and growing.

As the first full-time member of the operations team, you will be in charge of the infrastructure used to deliver the CDD Vault application. We have cabinets in two data centers, and have begun deploying an on-premises version of our application to customers with specific security requirements.

We believe in infrastructure-as-code. We are looking for someone who is already skilled at automating infrastructure management, or someone who has a SysAdmin background and a strong desire to strengthen their coding skills. You will be given significant leeway to do your job the way you think is best.

The ideal candidate has experience with a lot of the following:

* Linux/Unix * Firewall and VPN configuration * Automated configuration management * Hardware monitoring and troubleshooting * Database replication, backups, and monitoring (MySQL) * Network and OS security hardening, monitoring, and auditing

...and a desire to learn about the rest.

You must:

* Be local to our Burlingame office or willing to relocate * Be able to participate in weekly on-call rotation with two other employees (we get paged outside of normal work hours less than once a month, and with your help we'd like to make incidents even less frequent) * Be independent, meticulous, and result-driven

To apply, please contact me at the email address below with your resume and a brief explanation of why you would like to work with us. The email address has been gzipped, base-64 encoded and reversed to ensure that you are a human who can use command line tools.
