Upwork Inc. | Mountain View or San Francisco, CA | Onsite (or US based remote)
Upwork is working on revolutionizing how work is done online. Along the way, we're working on challenging engineering problems while working on new features and products to help meet the requirements of our growing community.
My team is looking to hire someone who can come in and help us design and build backend systems (distributed, resilient, scalable etc.). You'll get to work with people from around the world as well as in a cross functional environment (product, UX, marketing and others) and will get to make a meaningful contribution to our platform.
If you're interested, feel free to email me at [email protected] or you can apply to the job directly at https://goo.gl/7Q5H1p (note that in depth knowledge of Java is good to have, but certainly not a requirement).
Like working on big scale, distributed platform services? My team at Upwork is hiring an intern for Summer 2016 and a Senior Software Engineer to help us build out our next generation platform. Along the way, you'll get to work with people from all over the world (most of our engineering team works remotely) including world class engineers, product managers and designers. The post for the intern is available at https://goo.gl/dVMDmb. The post for the Senior Engineer isn't up yet but it follows along the same lines as the intern post.
Feel free to apply via Jobvite or email me (email available in profile) directly.
P.S. - We are also looking for remote Java engineers to work with us, so if you're interested, there's that too :).
Upwork | San Francisco (SoMa) / Mountain View | Lead platform engineer (Java) | Onsite/Remote
We're hiring for quiet a few positions across engineering at Upwork; the world's largest freelancer marketplace formed from the merger of Elance and oDesk. All open positions are listed at https://www.upwork.com/about/careers/.
We're building the next generation of our site from the ground up and need help in areas such as scaling micro-services, working with AWS products, investing in NoSQL solutions (where it makes sense) and more. Along the way, you'll get the opportunity to work with a globally distributed team (we have more than 200 freelancers, representing greater that 50% of our engineering headcount, hired off or our platform working on and leading various engineering teams) and hang out with them on our bi-annual offsites (my team just returned from one in Lisbon).
I'm specifically looking to hire someone who can be an engineering lead on a team that's building Java based micro services (deployed on AWS). You will be responsible for working with the product and other engineering teams to architect said services, deploy them, manage them, break them (and then fix them) and help other teams who are not as familiar with concepts such as service boundaries, benefits vs. costs of asynchronous architectures etc. More about the position is at https://goo.gl/lqJZcF.
We have two offices; one in the city (SoMa) and another in Mountain View. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] for any questions about this or any other openings you might be interested in.
Thanks a lot, I'll give this a shot tonight. Not too familiar with CoreOS yet; I was hoping that I'd simply be able to mount a volume similar to how I might do it in Linux. I understand the problems with doing that though...
Do we know yet if mounting a directory from host as a data volume is available in Mac OS X now? I think something along these lines was promised (not able to find the source now) - it's the only thing blocking me from using docker as my everyday dev environment.
I was a freshman at UT in 2002 in their CS program. I wish they had heeded Djikstra's advice. Java with BlueJ was what we were taught from day 1.
To the departments credit, we did end up taking a couple of courses in Haskell (the best one I remember was the course of compilers - we had to write a C lexer in Haskell). It was one of the more fun classes I took (thanks, in a great part, to the professor teaching us).
