Ops Evangelist | S.F. Mid-Peninsula (on-site) | $130-180k, 0.5-1.5% equity

At Scalyr, we've built a log analysis and ops visibility tool that our users rave about, because it smashes expectations for performance and ease of use. Now it's time to spread the word. If you're passionate about enlightened server operations, appreciate good tools, and would like the chance to bring a great tool to great customers, we should talk.

We've had success with meaty posts like https://www.scalyr.com/community/guides/zen-and-the-art-of-s... and http://blog.scalyr.com/2014/08/99-99-uptime-9-5-schedule/. Join us and you'll have the chance to write meaningful articles, engage with fellow engineers, and spread the word on a great product.

We offer the equity, influence, and fun of an early-stage company, with stability, great pay, and a low-stress, engineering-driven culture. We have great backers, strong traction, and an 11-digit target market. I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say this is my favorite so far.

If you have an engineering background, experience in operations, and a love of communicating, drop me a line at steve@scalyr.com!

Tip: include the text "San Francisco" or "SF" instead of "s.f.", it makes searching for your post more obvious.

Thanks! Too late to edit this month, but I'll make sure if we post again.

Do you consider non-US citizens?

If you are a non-citizen national of the U.S. or have been admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence and hold a valid green card then you can work at 18F.

Bummer.

Looks like there aren't too many software engineering positions open. Would be an amazing fit for this veteran.

What should a junior-level Dev out of DC make? Say they currently make 80k. Solid OOP, modern web framework usage, solid JS. Pay raise/cut/stay the same?
ones_and_zeros · 10 years ago
If you stop calling yourself a junior developer you will be making 130k in DC.
ejcx · 10 years ago
This depends on a lot of things. 18f is government so expect lower. Feel free to email me if its a bridge you end up crossing (I'm a lifetime DC native)
jrowley · 10 years ago
I love how transparent/well documented 18f is with the hiring process. The golden standard from an applicants perspective.
andrefrancisco · 10 years ago

All web positions. I hope this doesn't imply that the government avoids native mobile!
neilk · 10 years ago
I hope they do avoid native mobile!

The government should be making services that work with every kind of device, out of the box.

Given the kind of services the government is likely to build, a website is way, way more cost effective. And Googleable!

Plus, accessibility requirements mandate services that can be read by the blind, hearing impaired, etc, all of which is possible with the web and much harder with native mobile.

I saw a similar one previously, but this looks definitely much better! Or was it a redesign? Awesome work (:
kristopolous · 10 years ago
wow, this is pretty great. How old is this project? Is it open source?
xando · 10 years ago
thanks.

The project was crated summer last year. As an idea to put Who is hiring thread on a map.

The codebase is not opensource, although it might at some point, haven't made that decision yet.

StackHut | London | Full Time | ONSITE

We’re a London-based startup working on a microservices-based “CloudOS” using a mixture of OCaml, Linux containers, and Erlang/Elixir - with some DSLs, systems code, and distributed systems thrown in. We want developers to spend more time writing core business-logic and less time thinking about infrastructure.

We’re looking for our first technical hires, who will be working with us to design and implement the core platform that will make this a reality. We have a MVP in Python (https://github.com/StackHut/stackhut); it gives a feel for what we’re trying to build, although is only a start.

We’re implementing this in OCaml, and are looking for talented functional programmers (OCaml, Haskell, F#, Scala, etc.) preferably with some knowledge of Linux/Unix systems programming. It’s a challenging role, working on hard problems, but the chance to build and manage a technical team and shape a company and product from the get-go.

We’re funded by top-tier infrastructure investors from the West Coast, and the founders are highly-technical and ex-YC / PhD. Salaries are competitive and include stock options.

Any questions please comment, reach out on email (jobs at stackhut dot com) or at https://stackhut.com/#/careers. Cheers!

Y Combinator is hiring hackers (San Francisco, ONSITE)

We have a small team that makes the software that runs YC. Hardly any investors write software, but YC was started by hackers so it's natural for us to solve our problems that way.

The YC software is used by a relatively small number of people—mostly the YC partners and founders—but the users are sufficiently important that through them we are able to have huge leverage. YC has ambitious plans to create more innovation in the world, and the only way to reach that level of impact is to scale through software.

We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join us. It's not a job for everyone, but it could be a good fit for someone who likes startups. If you're a hacker, have a look at the job description: https://jobs.lever.co/ycombinator/8703c1d9-af67-4826-90e4-74.... If it feels like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

  **************
  = What we do =
  **************
We're building skynet (except we're focusing 100% on logistics, less so on the murder part) -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and pretty much everything else that moves in the supply chain (all the way down to the container/pallet level) so we can make predictions about what's going to happen!

We help solve problems like the multi-billion dollar asset repositioning problem (people literally ship empty containers to try to meet customer demand) and answer questions like is the port of long beach about to go on strike, is my shipment going to get stuck in customs, and who's the best person to ship with between point A and B?

  *********
  = Notes =

- Clojure, Clojurescript, Python/PySpark

- Cassandra, postgres, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker
