Rippling | Sr. SWE, Founding Engineer | SF/Seattle | https://www.rippling.com/careers/4989193003?gh_jid=498919300... Rippling is the first way for businesses to manage all of their HR & IT — payroll, benefits, computers, apps, and more — in one unified workforce platform. By connecting every workforce system to a single source of truth for employee data, businesses can automate all of the manual work they normally need to do to make employee changes. Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can just click a button and set up a new employees' payroll, health insurance, work computer, and third-party apps — like Slack, Zoom, and Office 365 — all within 90 seconds. Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $450M from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and Sequoia—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500). We’re looking for Senior Engineers to be founding members to Rippling's Next Billion Dollar Vertical. You will work directly with a few of Rippling's best engineers to build something that has never been built before. This is a high ownership, impact, and visibility role building a product that will directly impact Rippling’s growth.

It would be interesting to see how fast the startup time of the docker containers will be. If its for faster than EC2, this could be used for some super elastic job processing. Somewhere between EC2 and lambda. I doubt the startup time would be faster, since the docker image download would hit the startup timing.

If the startup time is fast, and it can run of GPU, a killer Deep learning platform could run on this.

Last I checked, OverlayFS did not play well with tools like Yum/Pip. Has this been fixed?

I went through the test couple of weeks back. It was pretty interesting take on the screening part. Wanted to see how the phone screen was, but they seem to be out of slots for a long time.

I think its an excellent idea. But,Codecademy tries to teach to people who have never programmed before. Yours makes more sense if the target is someone who already has experience in programming, and is introduced to a new technology.
