NoRedInk | Engineering Manager, Back-end, Front-end, Full-stack, SRE | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

Trivium Real Estate | Frontend and Devops | London | Full-time | ONSITE

We're a young, investor-backed, machine-learning startup for the commercial real estate industry. Our MVP is moments away from launching and customers are queuing to take it for a spin. As such, we're growing our team to tackle the challenges ahead.

We're a team of 8, located at London's South Bank and value continuous learning, empathy with our clients and customers, and empowering our engineers to make the best decisions.

# Front-End Engineer

This is for someone who:

- is comfortable in functional programming, especially Elm; and - is experienced shipping front-end software to production; and - has empathy for users and loves friendly UX; and - has an eagerness to learn and willingness to share knowledge. ## A Typical Day

- Start off writing a feature that requires elm-ports. These can be tricky, so you pair with another developer who has shipped such code before. - After lunch you're requested to review a Pull Request that fixes a bug you accidentally introduced a couple weeks back. There's no blame, instead some discussion about how our tests and review process could have caught this earlier. - The afternoon is spent with the Product guys around a whiteboard. You're helping them sketch out a realistic wire-frame for a feature we plan to deliver in a couple of weeks. # Dev-Ops Engineer

We're believers in CI and automated testing, but we need some help getting there. In particular we spend far too much time:

- Ensuring our testing, deployment, and validation services are up to date with the product. - Managing different servers for staging and production. - Trying to ensure we have a consistent build process across different machines. - Thinking about the best way to deliver our machine-learning services in production. You should have:

- experience maintaining CI services; - experience writing web applications in a functional language; - experience with different build processes (e.g. Make, `webpack`); - knowledge of and comfortability with Linux, AWS, and Docker. # Benefits

- £50-70k DOE. + Equity. - 20+ holidays per year. - Support for conferences & other tech related education. - Friendly, supportive team. - Great office location. # Some Tech we like:

We're more interested in a willingness and ability to learn than what you currently know. But in case your interested in the stack we're using:

- Haskell - Elm - PostgreSQL - Python / scikit-learn - Tensorflow / Deep learning - AWS - CircleCI - Automated Testing We aren't looking for any particular level of experience, just great engineers and friendly people. Contact info in my profile or at https://www.triviumre.com
