Jargon | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | https://www.jargon.com

At Jargon, our mission is to build the most useful content management and developer tools for voice platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

We recently completed the Amazon Alexa Accelerator (powered by Techstars), and have an ambitious roadmap to take full advantage of the burgeoning voice market.

We're looking to add several talented full-stack Software Engineers to work on all aspects on our products, from the SDKs we provide to developers (such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jargon/alexa-skill-sdk) to the backend of our unique Conversation Platform.

Experience developing for voice platforms (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, etc.) is a plus but by no means required.

If you're interested in having significant impact, building a lot, working along experienced leaders, and shaping the voice industry, come join our Seattle-based team!

The magnetic north pole isn't in the same spot as the geographic north pole -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination.

$1m / year is actually a very common base salary, for tax reasons -- anything above that amount the company can't deduct as a compensation expense. The majority of CEO compensation is via bonuses and long-term equity incentives (grant, options, etc.).

I forwarded this on to one of my zillow friends (I used to work there) -- he'll look into it.

TextWranlger (BBEdit's free version) is one option -- http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/.

It's the underwriters of the IPO that impose the lockout periods, not management. The lockouts apply to all pre-IPO shareholders (excluding shares explicitly included as part of the offering).

Lockouts may also include provisions that any early release granted to management or dominant shareholders must also be granted to all other parties on equal terms; that was true of the one lockout agreement I was subject to.

Amazon -- you can use Elastic Map Reduce [1] (the easiest way to run a transient Hadoop cluster) or spin up a bunch of EC2 nodes and deploy your own stack. Both methods can provide you access to very powerful hardware [2].

(Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, but not in AWS, and these are my own personal opinions.)
