I've been learning websocket stuff with Socket.io. Built a game to play with other remote friends that is comically simple, but really fun:

1. Item appears on the screen (like 'vacuum', or 'Q of spades'

2. Whichever team finds it in their house first and returns with it to their screen wins a point

Alteryx (Promote Team, formerly Yhat - YC W2015) | Multiple Positions | On-site or remote | Broomfield or NYC

We're looking for an engineer to help us build an end-to-end data science system for developing, deploying and managing predictive models and real-time decision APIs. We need someone who can take features from start to finish. This might mean building a new UI interaction with JavaScript, solving new architectural problems, or writing some bash scripts. In other words, you're an engineer who can quickly turn ideas into living, breathing, production-ready features. The core engineering team is small, so you'll be wearing lots of hats.

The stack is built on Node, React, Docker, and SQL, while our customers are data scientists and business analysts using Alteryx Designer, R and Python.

Open Roles - Senior Software Engineer - Software Engineer

Other Qualifications and Responsibilities: * Experience with building APIs

* Can be autonomous and self-driven

* 4+ years experience in an engineering position

* Rapid prototyping

* Working with product team to define new features

* Desire to learn (and apply) new skills
