muze | muze.chat/ | Senior Android Engineer (Kotlin/Java/OpenGL/REST/gRPC/protobuf) | Senior Backend Engineer (Python/Django/Redis/AWS/gRPC/protobuf) | NYC | currently remote, but ability to work from our Brooklyn office eventually is preferred

muze is a different kind of messaging app – a place that elevates the linear ways of messaging into something new. Each conversation takes place on a free-form canvas where you can zoom, draw, layer, go back, remix, etc: a space where talking with a friend is more personal, creative, and fun. We're building a platform that removes creative constraints, letting you express yourself more freely. Our ambitions are to evolve the way we digitally communicate.

Apply for the Android role if you're a self-motivated Android engineer interested in working on a highly-scalable app. Our product invites a creative approach to performance and optimization. Experience with custom, complex view rendering solutions will come in handy. This role is our first full-time hire for our Android team – you will take ownership of bringing the Android app to launch, and you will be able to help build out and lead the new Android team.

Apply for the backend role if you're an excellent communicator, interested in working on a small team of creative individuals, and passionate about building highly scalable and secure infrastructure. As our second full-time backend hire, you'd help shape team culture and work closely with our current lead backend engineer to elevate our backend infrastructure to the next level. Experience with message brokering and data security at scale is a big plus.

To apply, email jobs@muze.nyc

Symmetry Investments | Senior Software Engineers and DevOps | REMOTE or VISA (London, Hong Kong, Singapore) | D, Julia, Kotlin, other functional and systems languages | Full-Time, Fixed Term, Flexible Symmetry Investments is a post startup c. 5bn alternative asset management company with around 175 people across multiple time zones and locations. Our core technology team has been remote first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, post-COVID.

I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance approach to technology to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again this year. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with our stack.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure.

We're currently operational in parts of BLR. We've been remote for few months before COVID-19 with occassional meet for brainstorming and nailing down of requirements across team.

Earnin | Senior Android Engineer | Full-time | Vancouver, Palo Alto

Earnin is building a financial system that works to enable people, not profits. We’re fed up by the fact that $1 trillion is held up in the pay cycle every year, causing American workers to pay over $100 billion in fees and interest.

I'm the Engineering Manager hiring for this role. You'll be working closely with iOS and backend engineers, data science, designers, and product managers. We are mobile-only. Our Android App is up to +60% Kotlin and most new code is written in Kotlin.

We are looking for:

String and Key | Senior Software Developer (Backend) | Brooklyn, NY or Chapel Hill, NC | ONSITE and REMOTE (US) | Full-time | https://www.stringandkey.com

We used to be a successful digital agency specializing in creating fintech products for our partners, and now, we've taken our award-winning team and are building something for a new company company of our own, solving the challenges that excite us most and creating a product we want to bring to market ourselves. Our team of roughly 30 (and growing) is building a product for financial protection, helping those who fall through the cracks of the traditional insurance market gain access to protection, and using innovative strategies to keep things affordable, engaging, and educational for our customers.

We're seeking a talented senior developer with a backend focus to join our team in either our Dumbo, Brooklyn or Chapel Hill, NC offices and help build and maintain the core backend systems powering our API, vendor integrations, and internal administration tools.

Full time remote work is an option, though we prefer your home base be within driving range of one of our offices so you can occasionally join for cultural events, all-company training and planning sessions, etc. Currently, we are not able to hire remote employees located outside of the United States.

Position and tech stack details:

- Senior Ruby developer, with substantial Rails experience

- Not a supervisory role, though senior developers are expected to participate in mentoring activities with more junior members of the team

- Ruby/Rails API-only backend, no UI rendered directly from Rails

- Postgres

- Apache Kafka (as a message broker for a heavily event-driven architecture)

- Deployment on AWS via ECS (docker-compose for local developer environments for now)

- Core API serves clients written in React with Typescript on the web side, and native mobile apps in Swift and Kotlin on the mobile side

Other notes: we pay meticulous attention to process, have robust internal training programs and professional development efforts, and strive for a culture of trust, debate, and transparency. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, we close our offices at 2pm on Fridays to enjoy the weather and time with family/friends. We practice no-meeting Wednesdays, have year-round family time blocked off on Wednesday evenings, each quarter take a day off for a fun culture event in each office, as well as a quarterly mini-conference where our team hosts talks on everything from building an e-commerce side hustle to how to make great hummus at home. We have flexible PTO and remote work options, fully-paid healthcare premiums for employees and generous family coverage, 4% 401k match, gym stipend, transit/parking stipend, and when our offices are operating again we keep a fully-stocked kitchen in each (well beyond just snacks). While our offices are closed due to COVID, we are donating our office food budget to local food banks. Visa sponsorship is an option if required.

If you're an experienced Ruby developer and the above sounds attractive, please feel free to email me your resume or with any other questions: seth.hochberg AT stringandkey DOT com. If you want more details about the company or other position listings, https://www.linkedin.com/company/42147988
