Tellus (tellusapp.com) | Android (Kotlin), iOS (Swift), backend (Ruby/Rails), UI/UX designer, product, and growth | Silicon Valley + remote (we're flexible) | Full-time only | Competitive salaries and equity depending on role, experience, and location

We are an ambitious real estate technology startup, with millions in seed funding, founded by serial entrepreneurs looking to crack open the unyielding world of real estate and homeownership.

Home base for us is in the Silicon Valley but we have a team that spans eight countries. So whether you're in the Bay Area, thinking of moving to SV, or are happy where you're at, we'd love to hear from you.

The most important thing we're looking for is a hunger to change the world. If you’re looking for a challenge unlike any other and yearning to join an experienced team, then hit us up!

A few years of experience is preferred. Please email your resume and references/code samples to us at jobs <at> tellusapp.com. Please note, we generally don’t respond to generic resume blasts. We’re looking for exceptional individuals who have a true interest in what we’re doing.

SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | Cape Town, South Africa | REMOTE

The story (skip this paragraph if you don't like stories in your job posts): I founded and continue to run this startup. Most of the team works from our office in South Africa. However, 5 months ago I moved to Singapore for work / personal reasons. I used to be quite averse to the idea of remote workers, but seeing as just about everyone will now be remote from my perspective, I decided it's a good time to start focusing on hiring for remote work. We’ve hired 3 remote developers so far and it’s been a great experience!

SimplePay is online payroll software for South Africa, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong. Our software lets thousands of small business owners (and their accountants) run their payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses.

Do you believe most SPAs are a pile of steaming crap, but wouldn't mind digging into Vue.js for pages that will benefit from the increased interactivity? Do you laugh when people give up the power of PostgreSQL in favour of data stores that don't offer any benefits for their use case? If so, you may fit in well with our mindset. The work will include: Doing direct integrations with banks that offer good APIs; Expanding our API for other systems to integrate with us; Adding new features; Optimising for performance; Integrating with government systems; Squashing bugs; Eventually, the opportunity to do some mobile development (maybe using Flutter).

Experience: Due to our full pipeline, we can only hire developers who have a few years of Rails experience at this time, or polyglots who at least know Ruby. Previous experience with remote work would be a bonus - we need people who understand the challenges and can share what they've learnt.

Location: Most of the team is in GMT+2, and I'll be in GMT+8 going forward. So anything from GMT+0 to GMT+8 should be OK, unless you keep unusual working hours.

Please mail careers@simplepay.co.za and put "Hacker News" somewhere in the subject. I look forward to transforming the company to being more remote-friendly.

Accelerated Digital Ventures | Backend developer | REMOTE within UK | Full-time | https://accelerated.ventures/

Our backend is all Ruby (Sinatra, Sequel) talking to Elasticsearch and Postgres. Our frontends are React.

We're looking for someone prepared to work closely with the architect (that's me) on evolving the platform to replace a bunch of ad-hoc processes put in place as the company spun up into a clean, cohesive platform with lots of scope to explore data and build a system that can help change venture capital for the better.

NoRedInk | Director of Engineering, Full-Stack Engineers, Site Reliability Engineers, and Engineering Managers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

For our Director of Engineering role, we're seeking an experienced engineering leader who’s operated and scaled a high-performing team, cares about tackling complex technical challenges, and maintains a high bar for talent and engineering practices.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

TrueCar | Santa Monica, CA | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full-Time | https://truecar.com

TrueCar is hiring engineers to help us improve the car buying experience. We're on the verge of finishing up our replatforming initiative, and we're getting ready to re-accelerate our product development and further improve our infrastructure.

A good chunk of our engineering team, including leadership, came from CarWoo (YC S08). We value moving fast, structuring things so that we can keep moving fast, and not being afraid to do hard things. (This is sounds so obvious on HN, but it can be a hard sell sometimes when you're in the automotive industry.)

The core development frameworks we use are Rails and React. Our data stores include PostgreSQL, Redshift, Elasticsearch, and HBase. For infrastructure management, we use Terraform and Ansible. All of this runs on AWS.

Our core consumer- and dealer-facing application is a Rails application with a React frontend, backed by PostgreSQL and Redis. It's an intentionally monolithic Rails API. We also have other Rails apps for data curation, infrastructure management, and data movement to facilitate a lot of the workflows around data that add value and speed up our development.

We've also built internal tooling whenever it helps us move faster or drastically reduce the amount of manual work for our teammates. One of our tools, Spacepods, is a Rails app that churns out identical, isolated development environments (complete with data sets) so there's a mini-TrueCar that each engineer can start developing against immediately, without having to worry about breaking a shared integration environment that other developers depend on. Spacepods also powers our deployments and coordinates our CI/CD pipeline.

Openings:

- Senior Rails Engineer. You've run Rails at scale and know Ruby and Rails really, really well. "Convention over configuration" is always nice to get started, but you've had to roll up your sleeves and configure things, ranging from Ruby VM internals to caching layers to connection pooling. You'd be working on the Rails app that powers our consumer-facing experience.

- Senior Rails Engineer (Platform). You've run Rails at scale, maybe in a smaller company, and have thought to yourself at some point, "If only we had the resources to build developer tools to make our processes better and more repeatable." You'll probably have a lot of fun in this role if you like working on the tooling that gets used by other engineers and get a kick out of enabling others to be 10x/100x more productive.

- Site Reliability Engineer. You know Linux systems, networking, and/or AWS really well. Each team member has a slightly different emphasis but everyone on the team has in common is that we value reliability, observability, and performance.

- Site Reliability Engineer (Data). Measure, monitor, and understand YARN/HDFS/HBase performance in production. Design/architect deployment and verification procedures for data pipelines. One of the overarching and continuing challenges here is to take everything great that everyone loves about DevOps and CI/CD, and apply it to our data pipelines. Inherent statefulness and the size of the data make this a challenge.

- Data Warehouse Engineer. Write ETL to efficiently bring in data from various data sources, enrich it, and make it available to everyone in the company so our decisions are backed by good data. We make use of Postgres and Redshift.

Even if you're not sure you fit in any one of the above, please reach out if any of this sounds interesting to you. (If you read all the way down here, it's a good sign that we should talk!) At the end of the day, we're just looking for smart, determined, pragmatic people who love building things and solving problems. We care less about hitting all the bullet points in a job description.

Still interested, or just want to talk? Reach out to me at jgo AT truecar.com
