TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | Eindhoven (the Netherlands) | REMOTE (Europe/Africa only)

TalkJS is the chat platform for platforms. We help online marketplaces and communities build great user-to-user communication. Working at TalkJS is fun because you get to make software that is used by other software engineers and that significantly impacts the experience of the users of our customers. Currently we're looking for a:

SENIOR FULL-STACK DEVELOPER

Our product is directly used by other developers, so there's deep API design work involved. We want to be faster at shipping new features and making existing features better, which is where you come in. Additionally, we're facing some big scaling challenges. Because of all this, we're looking for an experienced programmer who wants to help get TalkJS to the next level. Our stack consists of Elixir, PostgreSQL, React and TypeScript, but it's acceptable if you don't know all of these as long as you know many others.

ABOUT YOU

We expect you to be fluent in at least 2 programming languages, and to have demonstrably deep experience with either Single-Page Web Applications, or relational databases, and at least some experience in both.

Our team is small and highly proactive, and we expect the same from you. If you need to be told what to do all the time, don't apply. If you want to be the smartest person in a (chat) room full of interns, don't apply. If you want to move fast with an experienced team, get in touch.

The Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) | https://www.mpi-sws.org/ | PhD applicants and interns | Saarbrücken / Kaiserslautern, Germany | ONSITE | VISA and INTERNS | English-language

I am Jonathan Mace, and I am a faculty member at MPI-SWS (my position is equivalent to a US assistant professor). I lead the Cloud Software Systems research group, and I am actively looking for new PhD students to join my group in fall 2019. I am also hiring interns year-round (interns are typically at the late-stage undergrad or graduate level).

A quick brief about the institute more generally: MPI-SWS is a world-class academic research institution located in the German cities of Saarbrücken and Kaiserslautern. Our faculty are world leaders in many research areas including cloud & distributed systems, computer networks, operating systems, security, privacy, programming languages, verification, and more. All students admitted to our PhD program receive full funding for the duration of their PhD. Structurally, our PhD program is similar to those found at US research universities, with longer-duration PhDs, flexibility to move between research groups, and a multicultural, English-language working environment.

More specifically about my research group: My group's goal is to make it easier to operate large software systems and to understand their behavior at runtime. Our research entails designing new abstractions for building distributed systems, new techniques for measuring and understanding their performance, and new tools for analyzing their behavior both online and offline. The kind of questions we ask include things like:

* When you put together a complex distributed system, how do you know what it's doing when you run it?

* Is my distributed system performing well? Did I configure it correctly?

* When things go wrong -- like a crash, or if things are really slow -- how do I figure out why?

* If I'm building a new system, what choices can I make so that it's easier to understand and analyze its behavior later?

* How can multiple users effectively and efficiently share a distributed system without impacting each other?

The type of systems we work with include those offered by public cloud providers (Google Cloud, AWS), open-source systems like those in the Hadoop ecosystem, and emerging paradigms like microservice architectures and function-as-a-service platforms. My group's research has a significant practical element, and applicants will need to be comfortable diving into unfamiliar code bases and rapidly prototyping new ideas.

If this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to get in touch with me directly (mention seeing this ad for bonus points). My contact details and more information about my group's research can be found here: https://people.mpi-sws.org/~jcmace

General information about PhDs at MPI-SWS can be found at https://www.mpi-sws.org/graduate-studies

Lastly, applications should be submitted at https://apply.mpi-sws.org

Repl.it (YC W18) | Infrastructure Engineer | ONSITE | SF https://repl.it/jobs Repl.it is the first open computing platform where anyone, even without needing an account, can hop on and in seconds start executing code, build and host applications and websites, and collaborate with other people.

Providing a service like this is challenging from all a scaling, security, and billing perspectives. Furthermore, supporting the number of languages that we do (https://repl.it/languages) is hard in both tooling and systems -- we have to build generic protocols for executing, debugging, authoring code.

It's a great time to be joining us, we're still 6 people, we reach more than a million coders a month, and we're backed by YC and a16z

Amazon Video | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | VISA | Software Engineer

I'm the Hiring Manager for the IPA(a pun on API) team at Amazon Prime Video. After you click the play button in our app, a huge number of services are used to provide the client with streaming video. Our team orchestrates, aggregates, and processes that data to provide the best experience for the customer's particular device.

We are looking for multiple engineers, from recent grad (or equivalent) to senior. Here's why you should consider joining our team!

* Flexibility of a Startup with Benefits of a Large Company

I come from a startup background and value personal responsibility. If you have errands or need to work from home, as long as the work is getting done it won't hurt the team. As a large company, Amazon also has excellent salaries/health insurance, and will provide visa/relocation assistance.

* Learning

I am very focused on my team's personal growth. We have started a library, we have brown bag/lunch & learn sessions, we have incredibly talented engineers who have weekly office hours, but we can always do more. Feel free to make suggestions!

* Scale

Prime Video operates on a tremendous scale - without giving exact numbers, we are responsible for close to 10% of the world's internet traffic! The challenges are vast and require strong design and architectures to scale cost-effectively.
