WeMash, Playa Vista - Los Angeles CA, Lead-Mid Level Developers, Full Time.

WeMash is hiring senior level experience engineers to join our growing team to build amazing products that enable derivative content creation and monetization. The WeMash platform empowers the masses with licensed premium video and music for use in their mashup and derivative works. WeMash does the hard work of licensing, ingesting and organizing clips from movie, television, news organizations, music labels, etc. - making it easily discoverable and searchable. The mashup space is exploding and WeMash is removing the barriers precluding each stakeholder from prospering in the current, piracy-intensive environment.

We develop using primarily NodeJS with Express, AngularJS, and MongoDB. The company is based out of the fastest growing technology area in Los Angeles with YouTube, Google, Facebook, Vevo, TMZ, Fullscreen, and soon Yahoo in the neighborhood.

> REMOTE OK This is one big lie, company policy is to bring people to the office.

I am not sure why would you say that. The company has a big chunk of people working from remote locations all over the world, not only developers but also managers. The fact that the possibility to work remotely is evaluated based on the candidate experience, the location (eg. cost to the team to meet in person), timezone, and the location of the rest of the team, does not mean hiring locally is a policy. It is compl…

I was told that it is indeed company policy to have employees in the office. There are only very few remote workers, and new hires are relocated to the next office location, with very few exceptions. Once there, one can basically forget about working remotely, because telecommuting is "only an exception under special circumstances".

Whoever told you that, it is incorrect information. There are remote workers at all levels of the organization.

You should not confuse that with "every position is open to be hired remote". There are teams that are setup for that, others that are not. Even for the same position, it depends a lot on the candidate.

About telecommuting, we call that home-office and has nothing to do with "remotes". It only applies to people working in office locations (obviously). You can work from home if you have a reason for it (something delivered, big cold but feeling well, sick child, etc.), but it is not like "I am not in the mood of going to the office today so I stay home".

Awesome. And then your team is located in Beijing, Nuremberg, Prague or wherever and you're to come to a different office for no reason whatsoever. Then you spend your whole day at the office communicating over IRC or mail for the sole reason of having your ass in an office chair.

Sounds like a really exciting opportunity! However, I can't open the link to your website. I get stuck in a redirect loop on your careers page between m.smakets.com and smarkets.com. Client is mobile Safari, iOS 8, iPhone 5S.

Oh bugger, I thought we had snuffed every last one of those redirect traps. Obviously not.

For what it's worth, we're in the middle of (to be fair: long & arduous) process of re-merging the desktop and mobile site. They really need to come from the same layout engine with a unified, responsive theming. WIP, as it stands.

And in case you're wondering why the process takes so long: we don't believe in "big bang" rollouts. Improving things gradually makes it far easier to track the effects and errors from individual changes. It's simpler to triage errors, misfeatures and omissions between small steps.

Rolling back a bad release is cheap, and there's nothing to be ashamed of in reverting a bad commit.
