I would love have the expertise necessary to work with it. I do know little of C/C++ and working currently with Rust. Do you guys accept some intern :P ?!

Kon-Peki · 3 years ago

I've seen this posting many times over the last year. This role seems like it would be very desirable for a large portion of the HN crowd, so I am curious: are you having difficulty filling a single role, or are you continuously growing the team?

cthrowy · 3 years ago

I applied months ago and was skeptical of their process. Their filter is a take-home test involving a code review and a simple algorithm problem. Neither is particularly hard, but I did poorly because I didn't realize they were grading it on a point-system by comparing it to an answer key. If you have a typo or do something differently than their key, you lose points. Lose a few points and you're out.

Honestly, it reminded me of someone trying to hire an author by giving them a spelling test.

The vast majority of HN seems to be web programmers and devops. Which is also the vast majority of the market, so it makes sense. Working on WINE is a more like a classic OS development role, which is a very different skillset.

popinman322 · 3 years ago

As someone who's applied before, you really need to know C. The first phase of the process is essentially a code comprehension exercise followed by a simple programming exercise. I think they're looking primarily for candidates with kernel/wine programming experience.

postalrat · 3 years ago

The are almost across the street from me and I would love to work there but I don't have the skills the they are looking for. I think few do.

recfab · 3 years ago

I'm curious about this, and also how hard of a requirement C++ experience is.

Railway | engineering | Remote | https://railway.app/careers

Tired of trying to beat kube into shape? Does writing YAML to ship code fill you with utter dread? Dream of a future where deploying software is simple, and you don't need an army of infrastructure engineers to build that perfect janky bash script™ to make life easy?

We're Railway, and we think infrastructure can be better. So far we've built out a platform loved by hundreds of thousands of users who simply tell us "Give me Postgres", "Deploy this repo", and we make it happen

Fair warning! The problems are complex: home-rolled hypervisors, cut-above container orchestration, over/under/whateverlay networks, virtio device drivers, edge proxies, IAM that doesn't suck, kitchen sinks - we need to build it and we're looking for likeminded individuals who think this stuff is fun.

We're currently prioritizing hiring for three critical roles:

If that sounds like you, please apply at railway.app/careers. We have a number of roles, but are prioritizing the following:

Platform Engineer - General

Platform Engineer - Orchestration

Support Engineer

See you soon, and happy shipping.

You need a link, lots of railways are hiring.

b112 · 3 years ago

I see downvotes, but obviously Railway edited their post to add a link. And yes, Googling for 'railway jobs' or even 'railway dev jobs', when they didn't list a location, and didn't list an url, can be challenging.

My first Google attempt literally showed actual train/railway companies hiring devs.

Railway: did you downvote me, for helping you?

lekan126 · 3 years ago

I love how you spell out your interview process, I have applied, I hope I'm not too late.

tulio_ribeiro · 3 years ago

Sounds like an amazing company.

Edit: A good match would be someone with experience in Golang, GRPC, distributed systems, Terraform, Ansible, and networking.

I may not be an ideal match for the role at Railway. :(

The Bring Your Own Role is a good option to try.

dcormier · 3 years ago

I poked at a couple of these listings, and some seem interesting, but I didn’t see any compensation ranges.

* Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend, Full Stack, DevOps) * Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and Security Engineers * Product Managers * Data Scientists * Designers (Generalists, Strategists, User Researchers, Interaction Designers, Content Strategists, Design Operations, and everything in between) * Procurement Specialists * Bureaucracy Hackers * and more!

What is the hourly commitment you're looking for out of engineers and leads?

HeyLaughingBoy · 3 years ago

Not looking to volunteer, but happy to see this. My wife started a 501(c)(3) horse rescue last year (saved 40 animals so far), would you mind if we circulated your info?

Observatory of Geneva | Rust/Python Software Engineer | Geneva (Switzerland) | Hybrid Schedule | Full time

The Observatory of Geneva (World renown in the field of exoplanetology, where Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz detected the first exoplanet, which got them a Nobel Prize in physics in 2019), in collaboration with the CEA (a French public government-funded research organization), will be seeking one talented junior software engineer to develop a scientific code (ESPEM) which will predict the destiny of planetary systems.

The successful candidate will:

- Collect the requirements (e.g., the code must run in multiple operating systems, provide pluggable solvers) that will inform future decisions about the design and implementation of a new ESPEM;

- Evaluate the use of more modern programming languages and design patterns (such as Rust and Python 3);

- Design and implement a new version of ESPEM, reproducing the physics present in the current version of ESPEM but following the best coding practices;

- Design building blocks that will allow the implementation of new physics in a modular architecture;

- Write the corresponding documentation;

- Write unit tests to reach a coverage above 80% of the code;

- Identify optimizations that could help reduce the execution time, particularly certain functionalities that are more computing intense;

- Write visualization routines to easily explore the results.

Entry salary of 85,000 CHF with annual revisions + flexible schedule/environment + friendly working culture with nice work-life balance + international travels (e.g. CEA headquarters in the Paris region, conferences)

Your contribution will be open source and it will have a world-wide impact in the exoplanet community!

We encourage applications from minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and all other qualified applicants!
