Refresh - Mountain View, CA - Fulltime - http://www.refresh.io email: jobs@refresh.io

Must be local or willing to relocate (paid)

A tagline of what we do is: Refresh helps connect people at a deeper level by providing realtime insights about them just as you're about to meet them.

The best description however is found by simply installing the app (Iphone only at the moment - we're in the app store, Android soon - see job description below!) and trying it yourself.

We're super proud of the team we've built and we plan to keep the caliber high.

We have exactly one requirement for hiring an engineer - it's someone we'd like to work with. That's a simple statement, but if you dig deeper, there's a lot to it. It says that we think they're smart. And that we could learn from them. And that they could learn from us. And that we get along, and they fit our culture. And they're passionate about our product like we are. And of course - that they also want to work with us.

Our interviews are fun - at least we think so. They're largely modeled after largely after Google interviews (there's a lot of Google interviewing experience in our team). Questions are either real problems we've had to solve (probably recently) or some abstractification of a bigger problem to see how you attack problems in general (with the "getting the right answer" not being the interesting part of the interview).

Specifically - We're looking for:

Backend Developers:

You're a crackshot in your backend language of choice. As I said, we're building a system that does an incredible amount of work all while the user is waiting for it to complete - so needless to say, we're looking for people who care about performance. A lot.

Our backend is a highly concurrent system written in Java using MongoDB. You might know Java or you might not, but either way you're willing to learn. If you don't know it - you can impress us in your language of choice. You understand algorithms matter. You also understand sloppy database access could make that ugly n^2 algorithm look absolutely blazing fast.

You love to code. You love to show off your results now and then to other engineers (as they're probably the only folks around who might get the intracacies of what you're excited about)

We're looking for both Senior and Junior backend engineers. If you're a Senior Engineer - you've worked in server-side code for a few years. You've scaled to thousands or millions of users. You can talk to other Senior engineers with very few words because you both know the special cases, assumptions, and pitfalls cold.

If you're a Junior engineer, you love to code and you're good at it. But most importantly - Be smart. Be passionate. Be excited. (New grads please apply!)

Android and IOS engineers:

You have apps in the store you can show us. You care about the user experience. You have a few years under your belt in either Objective-C or Android-Java.

Also, here are couple descriptions of what we're looking for:

Principal Engineer, Search Sciences - In this awesome newly created role, you will work with various internal teams at Quixey to develop the next generation of technologies to power Quixey’s powerful Functional Search Platform. This will include solving real world challenges in search, organizing information, cluster content, text classification, and extracting signals from structured and unstructured data sources.

Software Engineer in Test - We're looking for an experienced engineer to help build the tools and processes that will uphold our quality standards. This includes testing a variety of software products, system architectures, OS platforms and browsers with maximal automation; building test frameworks that are woven into our development and release process including regression and unit tests; and designing and implementing QA strategies for a variety of tools.

Mountain View, CA - H1B

LinkedIn is hiring engineers at all levels! Here's a canonical job posting: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=1588634&...

I personally work on the Search, Network, and Analytics team, building our distributed graph database. We've showcased 10 of our open source projects at http://sna-projects.com/sna/. I'm currently maintaining Norbert, our RPC framework for distributed applications. Most openings are Java roles, but I work in Scala about 50% of the time. We're starting to use JRuby as well. A few other HNers are on the team as well, I know strlen is the maintainer of Project Voldemort.

Please message me if you're interested!


Crowdbooster is looking for a full-stack engineer in Palo Alto, CA.

We've built the best way for businesses to get fast, actionable data about their social media accounts. Tens of thousands of businesses use us every day, including Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, coffee shops, sports teams, rappers, politicians, and more.

Some more things about us:

-We have a legit technical team including two Stanford engineers with backgrounds in machine learning, human-computer interaction, and databases.

-We believe in simplicity, minimalism, and creating things that are a joy to use.

-We're here to help businesses use social media to build real relationships, not spam, and we’ll never compromise on that.

-We're funded by some of the best early-stage investors in the valley, including SV Angel, Charles River Ventures, Y Combinator, and several early investors and employees of Facebook, Twitter, and Slide.

What we'd like to see from you:

-While your peers might describe you as a rockstar, the term embarrasses you. We love rockstars (many of them are Crowdbooster users!), but we've made a conscious decision to have a culture that revolves entirely around our product, not our egos.

-You've wrestled with big data before. Crowdbooster requires storing terabytes of data, extracting insights using statistical learning techniques, and making it available to our users in real-time.

-That said, you like working at every level of the stack, not being pigeonholed as a backend developer.

-You care a lot about the products you ship, and don't need a manager or "product guy" to motivate you to get every detail right.

-You're familiar with several parts of our stack, and willing to learn the rest. We use Python, Django, MySQL, Redis, Memcached, jQuery, Protovis, RabbitMQ, Celery, HAProxy, EC2, git, and more.

-You have projects of your own to show us. It doesn't matter whether it's an open source project, a startup idea, or just a really fun toy project. Just as long as you shipped it.

If this fits you, email jobs@crowdbooster.com
