TheLadders - New York, NY (Mostly on-site, remote and H1B for the right candidate)

---

We're looking primarily for front-end developers to help us build out our completely redesigned job-matching site. We have openings for back-end and iOS positions as well.

--

We're in the sweet spot, not quite a startup and not a giant company. As such, we have the ability to invest in our engineers: an annual $3K stipend for training, conferences--whatever grows you. Since we're also not that large, you'll have your fingerprints all over our product, seeing your designs and implementation in production. Read about what we do and how we do it: http://dev.theladders.com/

--

Backbone, SaSS, java, Scala, clojure, MySQL, Couchbase, RabbitMQ and friends all play a large part in our architecture.

We've been around 10 years, are profitable, and have a team of 25 bright engineers working on the newest iteration of our job-matching site. We've rewritten it from scratch, the front-end using backbone and sass, powered by a java/scala backend. Read about what we're doing and how we're doing it here: http://dev.theladders.com/ ... Unlimited Vacation, we invest in our engineers --I've personally gone to 7 conferences and training sessions so far and I've been at TheLadders a year-- no cap on conference/training budget.

---------------

TheLadders (http://theladders.com) is hiring for a number of open roles to help us find the right person for the right job. We're a growing team looking for front-end developers, designers, UX, devops--the whole gamut. We believe in our team, offering unlimited vacation, competitive salaries, and no cap on training and conference budgets. Here's a brief description of the roles (as written by a software engineer, so keep that perspective in mind)

Devops/Systems Engineer: we use puppet. We have our own hardware, use VSphere, run mostly CentOS.

Designers: we've redesigned our jobseeker-facing site to be completely responsive. We're using sass and all that fun stuff.

Front-end developers: we're using backbone, mustache, sass to build a single-page application to help our jobseekers be as informed as possible when making their next career move. We've rolled our own graphics implementation for some visualizations, so if that sounds interesting get in touch.

Software Engineers: our backend is written in java, scala, with some tools in python and other languages. We're not married to any language, framework, or architecture, and many of us have been personally playing more with erlang and clojure in the hopes of using them in newer projects. Check out a blog post I've recently written up about one of the more fun projects I've done recently: http://dev.theladders.com/2013/07/denormalize-the-datas-for-...

If these problems and technologies sound interesting to you, I'm John Connolly, and I can be reached at jconnolly@theladders.com

thanks! It was a lot of fun to work on and write up.

Interesting, what would you suggest?

We're looking for some bright, curious developers to help us build out the latest iteration of our responsive, backbone-powered front end. Our mission is to find the right person for the right job. If you have an opinion about whether media queries are a hack, you don't share Peter Griffin's opinion that CSS is analogous to broken horizontal blinds, and that perhaps it's possible that JavaScript may indeed have some Good Parts, contact me at jconnolly@theladders.com.

We’re looking for a few good programmers to join our team and help us achieve our mission of “the right person for the right job.”

Instead of giving you a list of buzzwords to describe the role, we’ll tell you about a project we started recently: A few months back, a small team of engineers and designers at The Ladders got together to design a new product. We started off by interviewing some of our customers to learn about their needs. Using that information, we held design studios and brainstorming sessions to flesh out what the actual features and user experience would be like.

On the front-end, we decided to build a new Javascript-powered rich UI using responsive design techniques. Many people are working on responsive design for content-based sites, but few are doing it for browser-based applications. On the back-end, we designed an Event Driven Architecture that makes use of Event Sourcing. Instead of updating a relational database in-place when things change, we store a series of discrete application events. We can then replay those events to create the state of the world at any point in the past, right up to the present. (Yes, we’ve built a time machine!)

Does this sound like the sort of thing you’d like to do? If it is, we’d like to hear from you.

In return for your passion and commitment to code quality, you’ll enjoy an awesome work environment with perks like: Unlimited vacation days! Yes, unlimited! Quarterly hackathons A game room and a well-stocked kitchen Exciting events including holiday parties, picnics, talent shows, pumpkin carving and more Company sponsored athletic teams Competitive salary, bonus and stock options Health/Dental/Vision Insurance, 401K

Love the residency idea. Good luck processing the next batch guys.

You should consider it, Schultzy ;D. It feels like what I imagine a mini Y-combinator would be. Similar network effects, more emphasis on being a good programmer than a sustainable business. For the programmer's programmer. They're also mid-way through systematizing the placement process a bit more. It's definitely on its way up.

I managed to continue working at diminished capacity for Bug Labs, and it was a LOT of work to manage both, but it's really worth it.

I can't speak for the founders, but it seems that if you can write fizzbuzz, and in your interview genuinely express an interest in programming, you've got a really good shot at admission. There will be an expanding class size, and I'd wager that the admission ratio will be comparable to last batch. Be confident, study up in the interim, and want it!

EDIT: I'm not too comfortable singling out the skillsets I'd qualify as 'least experienced'. Suffice it to say there are people who do not come from professional programming backgrounds who have picked up enough to write up fizzbuzz, and speak intelligently about the things they've used in the past, and would like to work on in the future.

Good call Colin.

For more on what people are actually working on, take a look at Hacker Schooler Brendan Nee's web app: http://hs.bn.ee/

Or come to the excellent Hack & Tell NYC meetup and you might find one of us there presenting, as we (well, not me) did this week.

nice work nick and dave. looking forward to participating in batch[2].
