I’m sure this is the only community that might pay attention to a software BOM as mentioned in the article, but this is a great idea and makes a lot of sense (to me as a consumer at least).

Sentry | Software Engineer, Billing & Analytics | San Francisco | Full time, onsite

https://sentry.io

Sentry is an open-source crash reporting platform that helps hundreds of thousands of software teams discover, triage, and resolve production software issues faster, so they can spend less time debugging and more time building software.

Our product is 100% open source (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry), yet we've found serious commercial success. We're up to thousands of customers and 80 people across our SF, Austin, and Vienna offices. I think our Instagram account (https://instagram.com/sentry.io/) illustrates our quirky company culture much more effectively than I can describe here.

Like everyone else, we're hiring for all our engineering teams all the time (https://sentry.io/careers/), but specifically I'm searching for a software engineer with a passion for revenue + data. We rolled our own billing and subscription services years ago, and we need to scale this critical piece of our infrastructure for the future. Find more about this role at https://sentry.io/careers/1258340/.

GDPR has an exemption related to the legal requirement to process data that might cover this (and related) scenarios.

seriously though, that gif of Matt is excellent

Our API Banking team uses Clojure to power production public-facing APIs at Silicon Valley Bank (http://docs.svbplatform.com). Great fit for our use case; we can leverage lots of existing banking-related Java libraries while still writing clean, concise, and functional code.

We have a hackathon coming up on June 15 in SF and we'd love to find even just one Clojurist who wants to attend to make it worth our while to build out a clojure SDK :P Contact [email protected] if you're interested in more info.

(we are also hiring)

Silicon Valley Bank | API Banking Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite / Remote (US) http://docs.svbplatform.com

Enable the world of FinTech by building public APIs for commercial banking. We're using clojure & postgres to expose brand new, easy to use, well documented RESTful interfaces for clients. Among other projects we work on, our small team created the technical integration with Stripe that powers Atlas (https://stripe.com/atlas). Our team consists of former Facebook, Disqus, and Standard Treasury (YC S13) engineers; startups are in our DNA.

With an aggressive roadmap of new products we'd like to launch in 2017, we're looking to expand our team to help deliver new APIs. While we don't currently have any full time remote employees on our team, we are open to remote US-based engineers helping us become a fully-distributed team.

Our interview process is designed to be respectful of your time; we have a short (~1h quiz) to get a baseline assessment of your technical skills, followed by a broader parsing problem (~4h project) to understand how you solve technical problems in a more realistic scenario. Both steps can be submitted on your schedule. These code samples minimize complications with whiteboard interviews and establish a consistent sample for all applicants.

Unfortunately, we're not able to provide detailed feedback on individual submissions, and we can't sponsor visas at this time.

This is the third or fourth month in a row that we're posting this same job post, and we have met many great folks (especially those as enthusiastic about Clojure as we are!), some of whom have joined our team. We've grown and will continue to grow as we build this product into a world-class banking API. Come join us!

Separately, we have a product manager role now available as well, where you can help us define and execute against the aggressive roadmap we have in front of us. More info on that role is available here: http://docs.svbplatform.com/jobs/pm.html

8.8.4.4 should be the second google ip address.

This specific use case is multiplexing messages to lots of connections, which is almost the ideal use case of Go anyways. It wasn't a matter of re-implementing complex business logic. 1 week is reasonable given the specific problem.

...if only financial institutions actually adhered to the NACHA specification :(

Sweet fancy moses. Shameless plug: if you want to do something about the state of tech in the financial industry, join us - https://jobs.lever.co/standardtreasury.

Mike at Standard Treasury here. We're hiring engineers to help us redefine the way companies integrate with their commercial banks. It sounds unsexy (at least compared to robotics mentioned elsewhere in this thread), but there's a massive opportunity in front of us to build APIs for banks. We're not cranking out features; we're selling a full developer experience and ecosystem. Let me know at [email protected] if you'd like to hear the rest of my sales pitch!

Love seeing creative web architectures with nginx + lua like this, nicely done.

I wrote up some thoughts yesterday on Docker's value as a tool in continuous integration testing which might find interesting: http://mike-clarke.com/2013/11/applied-docker-continuous-int...

I think it's impressive how quickly the Postgres world was able to adapt to the shifting needs of webapps and the whole nosql thing. The latest JSON features are a natural extension of the key-value & array stuff that has been around for years.

There's also a bunch of working focusing on replication enhancements that is underway; adding first-party replication tooling will be a huge reliability improvement for Postgres clusters.

I don't think it's that they lost focus, it's that the project is picking up steam.

Disqus - San Francisco, CA

Disqus (http://disqus.com - YC07) is the leading conversation platform on the web, powering comments for communities on millions of sites. We help users engage in discussions on large sites like CNN and IGN as well as many of the tech blogs submitted on Hacker News.

This week, we launched Gravity (http://disqus.com/gravity/) as an experiment in discovery and visualization of our huge network. It's built with D3.js on top of our realtime service and postgres backend. We're inventing the future of online discussions, and our massive scale has positioned us well to do just that. tl;dr - we're more than just comments.

To change the future, we need your help. Like everyone else, we're hiring for everything (frontend / backend / data). But we really need some additional folks to join our small devops team. If you're passionate about any of the following, shut down everything and contact me immediately ([email protected]):

* Performance - help us run database queries faster, eliminate slow requests, remove bottlenecks

* Availability - improve the likelihood that when users visit a site, Disqus loads

* Automation - we use puppet with our homegrown external node classifier to manage hundreds of dedicated hardware devices

* Data - our cassandra cluster handles billions of writes daily

I'd love to tell you more about the cool stuff we're doing with nginx, cassandra, and postgres.

If working on our ops team sounds fun, or any of our other positions at http://disqus.com/jobs/ are up your alley, please reach out to me at [email protected].
