A strong portfolio of successful UX and other technical projects is essential. You will also need to be technical enough to have an informed conversation with the engineering team about the application, how it works and the technical challenges of creating user interface flows and elements.

Ultimately, you will make our products more user-friendly and intuitive to attract and retain customers.

  • Communicate design solutions to engineers and stakeholders
  • Design and prototype elegant solutions for web and mobile apps

  • Work within brand guidelines to create layouts that reinforce a brand’s style or voice through its visual touchpoints

At Defiant, ‘trust’ is the attribute we value most highly among our team members.


Additional Information:

This contract role is contingent on successful completion of a background check. The results of the background check are considered as they relate to the position and do not automatically disqualify someone from a contract offer with the company.


Requirements
  • An online portfolio or samples of work demonstrating experience creating user-centered design solutions.

NOW HIRING: Front-End Developer


Company: iPhone Photography School
Website: https://iphonephotographyschool.com
Headquarters: Riga, Latvia


The Dream Job For A Front‑End Developer?

You’ve finally found it…

The perfect job for a talented front-end developer like you.


But who are we?

iPhone Photography School is the world's leading iPhone photography resource. In fact, we're one of the most successful online education companies of any kind.

But we're just getting started…

We’re about to revolutionize online education by creating the most engaging online courses in the world. And we’re well on our way to accomplish this ambitious goal…

You’ll see proof as you scroll down this page.

Of course, we can’t deliver a great learning experience without great front-end development.

And that’s why we want to hire another front-end developer. But what’s in it for you?


7 Reasons To Join iPhone Photography School As A Front-End Developer

Create World-Class Tech Solutions

We create our own tech solutions to specifically meet the needs of our customers. For example, we’ve built an industry-leading checkout system and our own online learning platform. Redesigning our website using AMP is the next big project in our backlog. We already have over a hundred thousand photographers as paying customers. At this scale, even small improvements in the front end will lead to massive benefits for our company. That’s why you’ll never have to lower your standards to meet an unrealistic deadline. Join our team, and you'll be able to do the best work of your life!

Only Work On Front-End Development

You've spent years honing your CSS and Javascript skills. Why would you waste your time on tasks that have nothing to do with the front end? All designs will be created by our talented in-house designer. Our back-end team will handle DevOps, and they’ll be available whenever you need them. By focusing on what you do best, you’ll become the best developer you can be!

Exceptional Dev Team That Really Works

Our five-person dev team really knows how to deliver the best results possible. You’ll get to plan your own tasks carefully while getting regular guidance from our CTO. You’ll always have enough time to write clean code and implement automated tests. We know that investing more time up front will result in less work and fewer bugs in the long run. Your work will be planned in weekly Scrum sprints, and you’ll set your own deadlines. Apply now, and you’ll become a part of an exceptional team that really works!

Millions Of People Will Use Your Work

There are over 1.7 billion websites online. Unfortunately, 99.9% of them will never have a significant user base because there are so many alternatives to choose from. It's frustrating to put months (or years) of work into a project that very few people will use. But that won’t happen in our company. Last month, our website received 1,098,625 unique visitors. And we already have 157,563 paying customers who take our online courses. Join our team, and your work will directly benefit all these people!

Stability You Can Count On

Most startups have huge ambitions – but little or no revenue. If you've spent years of your life in an exciting new project that never really took off, you already know how frustrating it can be. Rather than burning investor money, iPhone Photography School has been highly profitable for years. We’ve never taken investor money. Our rapid growth has been funded by sales. You won’t have to worry about our company running out of money.

Perks That Make A Difference

To get the best results, we have to offer the best possible work conditions. Things like a top-of-the-line laptop, automated solutions for repetitive tasks, and investing in your education make your work more valuable. So providing them is a no-brainer for us. We also want you to have a sense of belonging to our team. Even if you work remotely, you'll get to meet your coworkers in person at our regular team retreats. Whether it's rafting through the wilderness, sailing to a remote island, or participating in an ancient sauna ritual, you’ll remember these adventures for years to come.

Join A Company You Truly Believe In

Many people don't believe that their company creates a positive impact on the world. But our company is different. We help millions of people take better photos. And we make the most beautiful online courses in the world (you can watch a sample video below). Every week we receive hundreds of heartfelt thank-you notes from our students saying we helped fill their lives with the joy of photography. Join us, and you'll work for a company you truly believe in.

Here’s What We Expect From You
  • You’re excellent at creating cross-browser compatible responsive user interfaces
  • You can deliver efficient, easy-to-maintain, and scalable CSS code
  • You're proficient in CSS preprocessors and BEM methodology
  • You have significant experience with any of the modern JS frameworks (we use Vue.js)
  • You have excellent attention to detail
This is a full-time position. You can do this job from anywhere in the world – including your home, our beautiful office in Riga, Latvia, or any paradise location.

  • Health Insurance benefits for full-time U.S. employees.
  • Work from your home. We’re spread out all over the world – United States, Canada, Ukraine, India, Pakistan, Singapore and more.

NOW HIRING: Ruby On Rails Developer


Company: Litmus
Website: http://litmus.com
Headquarters: Boston, Massachusetts, United States


Litmus provides a suite of email creation, testing and analytics tools, trusted by over 250,000 marketers. We’re a tight-knit team that is passionate about helping the world make email better.

We're looking for a Ruby on Rails developer to help expand our product line, improve our existing products and help build the next generation of Litmus tools, while continuing to provide exceptional support to our growing customer base.


What would I do at Litmus?

A typical day for one of our developers might include:
  • Collaborating within our Rails team, and reviewing code to help everyone on the team do their best work.
  • Writing and refactoring code in our Rails app, as well as in our JavaScript code, our Ember app, our Sass stylesheets, and wrapping all that work up inside Git.
  • Talking with our Design team to figure out the best way to present a new feature to our customers.
  • Working with our Product team to understand product and marketing goals, and work out a good path to implementing them.
  • Working with our .NET team to integrate with our internal APIs.
  • Working with customer support to investigate and fix bugs.

What's it like to work in engineering at Litmus?

You'd work alongside a team of smart, curious people working on challenging problems. We're a motley crew of developers with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. Most importantly, we're supportive of one another; we work as a team to enable each other to do our best work.

"Best work" can mean a lot of things. We care about testing, and apply that through a mix of unit, integration, and acceptance tests. That diligence allows us to ship early and often through an automated continuous integration and delivery process. We're also strong believers of using the right tool for the job. We lean heavily on Rails and the traditional request/response web lifecycle for most of our work. That said, we reach for component frameworks like Vue when there's a clear benefit, and we've implemented full client-side MVC/SPA when the product demanded it. We give our team members the time and space to learn and apply these and other tools correctly. We share our knowledge with each other on a regular basis through pairing, PR reviews, and team talks.


What are we looking for in a candidate?
  • You have a well-founded understanding of Ruby and Ruby on Rails. We won't limit to ‘x’ years’ experience, but you should be able to impress us with your app building skills, confident use of Ruby and Rails, and understanding of web development. We're happy to introduce you to the other technologies we use.
  • You have product experience. In your work, you think and care about what really matters to customers, and about their experience of our product and company.
  • You have good communication skills. As a distributed team, it’s important that we're able to understand each other, through text or the spoken word, and talk at the appropriate level of abstraction. You communicate clearly and with empathy, whether you’re discussing refactoring options with a developer, or working with a designer to understand user experience.
  • You write clean, thoughtful code. Our code is the home that we live in every day. You enjoy putting effort into crafting understandable and well-tested code, to make everyone’s shared development experience more enjoyable.
  • You are eager to collaborate, learn and teach. Our Engineering team is friendly and supportive of each other, and we look for opportunities to learn from each other’s experience.

What are some of the benefits offered at Litmus?

We offer everything you'd expect from a financially successful and profitable startup, with the stability of a company that's been going strong for ten years.
  • Great salary, comprehensive health care benefits, and a generous retirement plan match.
  • 28 days of paid vacation—that’s on top of team retreats and public holidays.
  • Family friendly. Flexible schedules along with generous maternity and paternity policies.
  • Remote friendly culture. You'll join a completely distributed engineering team, and will benefit from the first-class remote experience we've created—giving you the flexibility to work where you want, with all of the tools and resources you need to succeed.
  • The best tools and technology money can buy. Top of the line hardware, software, and whatever else you need to be awesome.

What is the hiring process like?

We're accepting applications for this role until Monday, April 6th at 5pm EDT. After reviewing applications, successful candidates will go through the following steps:
  • Initial interview. In a relaxed, Slack/text-based chat, you’ll meet the hiring team, tell us about yourself, and learn more about Litmus and this role in particular.
  • Sample project. We'll ask you to complete a time-boxed exercise on your schedule as an example of your best work. Your code, commit history, and resume will be anonymized and passed to the engineering team for review.
  • Follow-up interview. You'll meet with the hiring team on a Zoom call to discuss your sample project, share context around decisions made along the way, and chat about other technical topics.
  • Final round. Spend a day pairing with your hiring manager on extensions to your sample project, and meet some of our engineering leaders and the rest of our Rails team over Zoom!
  • We communicate with candidates at every step of the process, letting them know if we'll be moving forward, and what they can expect in the next phase.

Who is Litmus?

Backed by $49M from Spectrum Equity, the Litmus email creation, testing, and analytics platform empowers marketers, designers, and agencies to confidently deliver customer experiences that ensure brand alignment and quality, as well as maximize performance and deliverability.

Major global brands across every industry and vertical trust Litmus to make email better, including 9 of the top 10 ecommerce brands, 7 of the top 10 technology companies, and 23 of the top 25 US ad agencies.

Company: Wallaroo Labs
Website: https://www.wallaroolabs.com
Headquarters: New York, United States


Wallaroo Labs is working on a huge idea, and this is a phenomenal opportunity for a person who enjoys challenges. We’re exploring new, emerging use cases involving vast amounts of real-time data, such as in automotive IoT, transportation, and ad tech. Our mission is to help firms exploit this data very quickly to create business opportunities, reduce costs, and enhance safety and security.

We’re building next-generation tools like Wallaroo, a highly efficient stream-processing engine, to power applications that run on petabytes of daily data and that expose the limits of traditional big data solutions. We believe this is a $10B+ market opportunity and we aim to take a good chunk of it.
We’re a seed-stage company that’s raised $6M from some of the best enterprise software investors in NYC, and we’re looking for ambitious people to grow our team and our business, enhance our culture and contribute great ideas.


The Position

You will be expected to engage with external partners and coordinate technical efforts on both sides. You must be comfortable working with clients to move them from discovery to design, POC, and then production. You will work with engineers and architects at client companies to gather requirements, spec out applications, and help implement them. And you will provide ongoing support and contact with clients. This is not a sales engineer role; while you will participate in discovery, most of your responsibilities will involve implementation.

We believe in hiring strong engineers and letting them apply their unique skills and experiences to make our team and product better. That said, there are a few must-have requirements that are needed to do well in our environment. Beyond those, we are looking for candidates who have skills that draw from our "nice to have qualifications" list.


Requirements:
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently
  • Prior experience working with customers either external or business-oriented
  • Prior experience building high-volume data processing applications
  • Able to travel to meetings that need to be in-person
  • Good at async communication (key for working as part of the engineering team)
  • Experience developing on *Nix system (shell, scripts, tools, etc)
  • Experience using a modern version control system (git, mercurial)
  • Ability to get up to speed with new languages quickly
  • Desire to help those around you grow and learn from you
  • A self-guided learner with the ability to pick up new skills quickly
  • Excellent written and verbal skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively with others
  • Thrive in an environment where the long-term goal remains stable but day-to-day needs may change quickly

Nice to Have Qualifications:
  • Experience running production systems
  • Solid industry experience working with/designing/building distributed systems
  • Experience developing multi-threaded programs
  • Experience using a "strongly typed" language
  • Experience analyzing system performance
  • Experience developing for AWS or other cloud systems
  • Excellent teaching skills
  • Strong algorithmic and mathematical skills
  • Familiarity with open-source streaming data technologies

Wallaroo Labs - Engineering Values

Distributed First
We are a fully distributed team with a base of operations in NYC and engineers ranging from California to the Netherlands. Our processes are always distributed first, with an emphasis on effective asynchronous communication.

Communication
One of our mottos is: “If it wasn’t communicated, it didn’t happen.” Communication is always crucial to effective collaboration, but in a distributed setting it becomes even more important. Email, text chat, and documentation are important tools to communicate across time zones and geography. Voice and video conferences bring us together despite working in different countries. We bring up concerns early, and share objectives, context and work progress in public. We value clarity and making assumptions explicit.

Learning
We value a commitment to learning, and see the ability to quickly get up to speed on new languages, technologies, and ideas as just as important as specialized knowledge, if not more. We stress a growth mindset, and know that listening can take effort but is crucial to understanding.

Self-motivation and accountability
Our engineers excel at working independently and flexibly collaborating with the right people for the job. We proactively get involved when help is needed.

Respect and openness
We know that we’re working with human beings with their own lives, concerns, and perspectives. We strive for charitable interpretation and empathy. We value constructive disagreement and challenging assumptions, but only when this is done with respect. We realize that even if you are an expert in some area, you can still learn from the fresh perspectives of novices, which means humility is not only reasonable, but essential to overcoming blind spots.

The right tool for the job
We know that in software engineering, there are no silver bullets. No language, framework, tool, or process is “The One, True Way”. We look for the right tool for the job, and depending on the circumstances, this may or may not be Wallaroo!

Adaptability
Our engineers have to be ready to adapt to changing circumstances and temporarily take on roles that might be a bit outside their job description. We value comfort with uncertainty and an openness to experimentation.

Everyone a Teacher
In a smaller startup, we need everyone to be a generalist to some degree. That’s part of the reason we value sharing knowledge, skills, and perspectives so much. Our engineers are eager to keep learning, but they’re also eager to teach their colleagues what they know, and to experiment with more effective ways to make this kind of information readily available.


We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
