Moveline http://moveline.com - REMOTE or Las Vegas, NV

TLDR: remote workers, full-stack, JS, Node, Angular, Express, Mongo, Holacracy, Golang, Redis, Grunt, Bower, LESS, web + mobile

Moveline is transforming an industry older than the internal combustion engine. We ship every day and play Settlers on Fridays.

We’re looking for a solid full-stack engineer who loves Settlers of Catan and remote development.

About Us

- Driven to build software that dramatically improves the customer experience, end-to-end, around moving. Our web product is at the heart of it

- Well-funded by a group of world-class investors and advisors: (angel.co/moveline)

- Our organization is flexible and embraces the Holacracy model of governance. Self-determination is encouraged and self-motivation is essential.

- Have only begun to tackle the problem space. Serious fun and challenges still lie ahead.

- Our stack is primarily MEAN — Mongo/Express/Angular/Node — with some Golang on the backend. We regularly evaluate new tools and technologies for development advantages and not just because they are new and cool.

About You

- Fluent in Javascript and comfortable jumping between client and server side development

- Passionate about code, development practices, and maintainable solutions and want to work with others who are similarly so. You can’t sleep at night knowing something is not DRY and unit-tested

- Architected and developed end-to-end products that are currently running business applications in a production environment

- Energized when working closely with others on a small team

- Want to build stuff that solves real human problems

- Can explain the differences, chemical and philosophical, between a lager and an IPA

- Don’t care if the moving industry isn’t sexy

- Would rather make money than make the front page of TechCrunch (though we do that too)

Compensation

Market salary and meaningful equity is available. We’re primarily a remote engineering team, with the company (ops, marketing, customer service) based in Las Vegas in the heart of Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project. Hackers in Vegas or remote in the US welcome. Full Time or Contract-to-Hire only please. No freelancers or recruiters need apply.

+1 for sprintly, been using it for almost a year at Moveline. business people know exactly what to do when a bug comes in, and can accept/reject, comment, screenshot, etc. when a Dev marks it as complete

Moveline (NYC)

Senior Software Engineer (https://angel.co/l/6HTt2)

Stack: nodejs/mongodb/backbonejs

The moving industry has always built software to make it's job easier. Moveline believes in building software to make our customers lives easier.

We practice continuous deployment, which means we write tests for everything. Our designers and developers work directly with each other, letting us quickly implement and test new designs and features.

Feel free to contact our team directly chris@moveline.com, adam@moveline.com, kelly@moveline.com, or fred@moveline.com if you are interested.

Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, basically any app that allows you to "search my address book for friends" will do this.

All these services require either a email or phone number to sign up, so to search for friends who have also signed up for the service, you need to compare two data sets: emails or phone numbers of users you already have, and those in the person's address book.

You obviously wouldn't download your entire database of users contact information to the phone to compare the data sets, so you send the data set up to the server.

When I first read the title, I assumed this was about Twitter's new country-based censorship[1], which IMHO is a much more egregious attack on a freedom that the internet has made possible (speech) than the availability of for-profit media the OP highlights.

I found this post from last night insightful: http://pennyred.blogspot.com/2011/08/panic-on-streets-of-lon...

Ok, this is interesting, so now we're talking about hashing collisions, right? The idea might be that if you just start iterating through all possible alphanumeric combinations, that it's possible you'd stumble on a successful collision before you'd stumble on the actual password. It seems this would only be likely once the number of possible passwords was greater than the number of possible hash outputs (32^66 for MD5, right)? That would occur if the length restriction on the password was greater than the length of the hash output, or a broader charset was allowed for the password than for the hashing output.

I guess if this ever actually became a relevant concern, you'd simply keep adding a few extra chars to the hashing algorithm output to keep it beyond the range of reasonable.

Thanks. I was under the impression somehow that cracking the first few passwords would make it easier to crack the rest (by figuring out the salting scheme perhaps)?

Also, if there is no restricted range of characters, and a solid, random password is used, how can the attacker know when they have broken it, short of trying them all against the actual server?

Edit: Forget that last bit. I'm confusing myself.

So this is not the complete set of passwords, only the ones that have been cracked so far, using a dictionary? Scanning through the list, very few look like a random set of characters that a password generator would come up with. Does that mean that passwords which were randomly generated are, and are likely to remain, safe?

When I first saw this, I had a different use-case in mind, where a person would just take a picture of their own credit card for an in-app purchase, instead of a vendor using it to accept money from another person. (Hence the focus on developers.)

If you AB tested giving someone a screen where they put in their credit card number, or a screen where they just took a picture of it, you might find that people are more willing to take a picture. People are probably more comfortable with a photo of their credit card being taken on their own phone than someone else's phone. To the app, both of these are CNP transactions.

this is an active project, and can the team really not afford to pay Github something like $5 per month per repo?

This is the OP's complaint: once you're over 20 private repositories, you're paying $100/month. He wants stupid-simple, hosted, private git repositories, and lots of them. He probably ran a bunch of numbers on servers, storage, and bandwidth, and found that he run a simple, low-cost hosted git solution (without all the fancy web features) at a fraction the cost.

There was an opportunity in the market to make a simple, low-cost competitor to github, and he built it. Kudos.

What is the investor expectation on runway for a seed round like attachments.me did? 12-18 months?

For a shop whose pre-requisite to hiring a developer is that they have code publicly available, you can bet cultural fit is the other thing at the top of their checklist.

Saying "no one wants to go home and write a big fucking pile of code" probably means that regardless of technical aptitude, you wouldn't fit in well with the kind of folks who love and encourage doing just that in their spare time. Most of the developers on our team have and love "endless side projects."

Not bullshit, just different.

Best summary of bubble/non-bubble debate I've read yet:

[Are we in a bubble?]

“Maybe,” says Naval, “Certainly valuations are creepy up quickly in all stages of deals. On the other hand, 10 years ago when we all felt like this last time the total market size for any company was at maximum 100 million potential users. Now we’re in the billions of users. Facebook connections alone bring 500 million, Twitter 200 million. 10 years ago we only connected for brief periods of time when we were at our PCs. Now we’re connected to apps all the time, everywhere we go. So maybe there’s a bubble. It’s hard to say. But we’re also looking at unprecedented opportunity.”

Close. An online brokerage firm is probably a better example than Google Finance, because they both give you the information and facilitate the transaction. The firm selects the numbers to they show you that they think are relevant to the decision, and the means to make the decision. If you want to look at other numbers, it is up to you so find them by digging through reports or looking at other tools.

With AngelList, you get what AngelList thinks are the most relevant pieces of information, and it's up to you to contact the entrepreneur to verify information or get more information if you want. AngelList thinks that social proof is one of the most relevant pieces of information, so that's what you get.

The obvious problem with turning off AngelList is that with ETFs and public companies, there are many portals to get information and invest, while with startups, there is currently only one.

No, I'm sorry, this is my brain-fart. We recently switched our static pages to a Heroku instance in anticipation of a web app launch in a few days, but keep our server stuff on the Rackspace cloud. Proceed with down-voting.

It says our web host is Amazon, but we're definitely on the Rackspace cloud. Does Rackspace have a dirty little secret?

This is the key. For founders who are not intrinsically fundable, an incredible amount of risk is removed between the time of initial founding and when a third-party assigns a value to the company. 1000x seems reasonable.

Yes, SecondMarket specifically provides liquidity for private companies. Again, I can't find a reference, but I believe Thiel has sold over half his original Facebook stock already in this manner.

Interestingly, some of the most successful startups today may never "exit". Facebook seems to want to avoid an IPO if they can, and Mark Pincus from Zynga has said he hope he can exist as a privately held corporation indefinitely. [1]

SecondMarket creates liquidity for investors, founders, and employees while allowing the company to still maintain some control of how many investors they have.

At NextGenConf a few weeks ago, Peter Thiel specifically said Clarium prefers to invest in companies that can be successful without any exit. [Can't find a ref here, taken from my notes.]

Since submitting this, I've been looking around for a kind of "Hacker's Guide to Software Licenses", and haven't come up with anything. Does anyone have a good reference that lists out the more common licenses and explains in what situations a hacker should be cautious?

I believe that's by design. My grandmother doesn't see so well, but still likes to use the internets.

Next time you're in the phone isle in Walmart, note that they still sell wall-mount telephones with huge number buttons. There are also cell-phones designed the same way, specifically for seniors.

You must mean "lifestyle business"? (kidding)
