Challenging and varied projects

Maybe not what you had in mind, but we (TechEmpower, creators of the web framework benchmarks) built a system to randomly shuffle employees among short daily social calls. The calls are not mandatory, but we usually have enough people join for a fun chat. We've found it to be a fun, low-pressure way to keep in touch. It's free to use, if you want to try it for your organization.

We only collect the data we need for the service, and don't use it for any other purpose.

"Perhaps all the numbers we use are safe. Are we actually mangling our numbers? Probably not...but will we know? Will anything blow up, or will our application be silently, subtly wrong?

I suspect that when this problem does occur, it goes undetected for longer than it should. In the remainder of this article, we examine potential improvements to our handling of long."

Over the past 17 years we've cultivated a great group of people to work with. Our developers are smart, thoughtful, respectful to each other, opinionated, dedicated, and fun. We don't hire often, and when we do, we value these qualities as much as technical abilities.

On average, a typical developer will get exposure to 3 or 4 different projects over the course of a year. Since each project has a different technology stack, developers gain varied experience over time and never stop learning.

Work Hard, Have Fun, Be Nice

Let's be honest: you became a developer because you like to build things. Interesting things, useful things, cool things. It's like building with Legos, only you get paid, and there are always plenty of the right color pieces.

At TechEmpower, we build things. Interesting things. Cool things, mostly in webapp form. We build them as individuals, because we're creative people. We build them as teams, because we like to help each other grow, and because we know that collaboration improves even the best code.

Having the best people doesn't hurt, either. We've got most of them already, and we're looking to find the rest. You can build things with us. What's the catch? We're pretty darn selective.

To work as an individual, you have to be motivated and creative and thoughtful and serious. To work on a team, you have to be respectful and energetic and open and absolutely not a jerk. We need developers who can work on every part of an application, from the data store to the page–sometimes known as full stack developers. And to be a full stack developer, you have to know technology and want to learn more technology, because those acronyms just keep coming.

Our clients expect us to work with them, not for them. We help them define their problems, and we provide solutions, on time and on target. We're service-oriented, and you should be too.

Still reading? Please apply! And check out our Web Framework Benchmarks while you're at it. We pretty much wrote the book on that one.

Just so you know:

   Teams range between 2-6 people
   Developers are exposed to 3-4 projects per year
   All development is done on high-performance workstations with 4K displays. A lot of code fits in 3840x2160 pixels!
   We maintain an informal, comfortable environment, just like the old college computer science lab, but with grown-up hours
   Everybody's nice

   Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP
   Tools: Git, Jenkins (Continuous Integration), Sonar (static code analysis), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant, Maven
   Web: Dropwizard, .NET MVC 5, Play, Django, Rails, Mustache, Handlebars, Backbone, Angular, Knockout, JSP, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
   Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap
   Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), Rackspace Cloud, Linux deployments
   Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, NoSQL (Redis, MongoDB)

Founded by a former computer science professor, in many ways we keep the same feel as a small computer science lab (without the long hours):

    Challenging and varied projects
    Informal, comfortable environment
    Intelligent, engaged people
    Lively, respectful technology discussions
    Frequent mentoring
    Easy camaraderie

You may recognize us from the Web Framework Benchmarks that have been discussed on HN periodically: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

Here's the job:

TechEmpower, a small custom software development firm located in El Segundo, seeks developers with good object-oriented experience, preferably in Java, JavaScript, Python, and/or Ruby. We specialize in web application development but look for well-rounded application developers. If you are a solid programmer and a team player, this is an opportunity for you. Even if you don't have experience with everything listed in this ad, we offer excellent learning opportunities for those who are eager to expand their skill sets. Job Responsibilities

Working in small development teams, programmers participate in the architecture, design, and implementation of primarily Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, and PHP code to meet client requirements for robust, high-performance, and secure sites and applications. Developers get exposure to several client projects and a variety of technologies over time. Job Qualifications

In addition to overall programming capability, candidates must have experience working on collaborative development teams and very strong communication skills. While we employ and enjoy the company of extroverts and introverts alike, we reiterate that the ability to communicate clearly is a must-have for our technical staff. That means writing professional e-mails and interpreting the nuances of clients' requirements by asking good questions, for example.

We work hard to estimate projects accurately so that schedules are reasonable and developers work a normal amount of hours per week. We rely on developers to contribute to those estimates and provide feedback as a project goes along to keep things on track.

Ideal candidates will have experience building all facets of software systems including the data model, business logic, and front-end. 3+ years of object-oriented design and development in Java, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby is desired. On the front-end, HTML 5 and CSS experience is required.

Knowledge of some or all of the following specific tools and technologies is a plus:

    Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP
    Tools: Continuous Integration (Jenkins, Hudson, etc.), static code analysis (Sonar, etc.), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant, Maven
    Web: vert.x, Play, Spring, Django, Rails, node.js, JSP, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
    Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile or similar
    Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), cloud servers, Linux configuration, application servers (Resin, etc.)
    Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, Oracle, NoSQL (CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.) 

That said, we're mostly looking for great developers who are great to work with. If you don't have experience with everything listed above (and who does?) but are still a solid developer eager to learn new things, you might be a great fit here.

Please apply here: http://jobs.techempower.com/hn

We specialize in web application development but look for well-rounded application developers. If you are a solid programmer and a team player, this is an opportunity for you. Even if you don't have experience with everything listed in this ad, we offer excellent learning opportunities for those who are eager to expand their skill sets. Job Responsibilities

Working in small development teams, programmers participate in the architecture, design, and implementation of primarily Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, and PHP code to meet client requirements for robust, high-performance, and secure sites and applications. Developers get exposure to several client projects and a variety of technologies over time. Job Qualifications

In addition to overall programming capability, candidates must have experience working on collaborative development teams and very strong communication skills. While we employ and enjoy the company of extroverts and introverts alike, we reiterate that the ability to communicate clearly is a must-have for our technical staff. That means writing professional e-mails and interpreting the nuances of clients' requirements by asking good questions, for example.

We work hard to estimate projects accurately so that schedules are reasonable and developers work a normal amount of hours per week. We rely on developers to contribute to those estimates and provide feedback as a project goes along to keep things on track.

Ideal candidates will have experience building all facets of software systems including the data model, business logic, and front-end. 3+ years of object-oriented design and development in Java, JavaScript, Python, or Ruby is desired. On the front-end, HTML 5 and CSS experience is required.

Knowledge of some or all of the following specific tools and technologies is a plus:

    Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, C#, Ruby, PHP
    Tools: Continuous Integration (Jenkins, Hudson, etc.), static code analysis (Sonar, etc.), Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant, Maven
    Web: vert.x, Play, Spring, Django, Rails, node.js, JSP, Servlets, jQuery, etc.
    Mobile: iOS, Android, PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile or similar
    Hosting: AWS (EC2, RDS, etc.), cloud servers, Linux configuration, application servers (Resin, etc.)
    Data Persistence: ORM (Hibernate, etc.), MySQL, Postgres, MS SQL Server, Oracle, NoSQL (CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.) 

That said, we're mostly looking for great developers who are great to work with. If you don't have experience with everything listed above (and who does?) but are still a solid developer eager to learn new things, you might be a great fit here.

For the collapsible comments, I've been using Greasemonkey along with this user script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/138037

The submitters didn't create a JSON test, but all the other tests are present. Switch to the Plaintext test to see Flask.

In the tests that use a database, this distinguishes using an ORM vs. direct SQL queries. From the guide on the filters panel:

We classify object-relational mappers as follows: Full, meaning an ORM that provides wide functionality, possibly including a query language. Micro, meaning a less comprehensive abstraction of the relational model. Raw, meaning no ORM is used at all; the platform's raw database connectivity is used.

"Have you enabled APC for the PHP tests?" Yes, the PHP tests run with APC and PHP-FPM on nginx.

JSF may not be a good fit for these benchmarks, as discussed in this issue on the project: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/issues/30...

It is still on the table, but we haven't made much internal progress on this yet. Hopefully we'll get there before too long.

Hi gog,

I'm sorry you spent time trying to get started with Gemini, because it's our internal framework that isn't released yet. That would have been frustrating for you!

From our "Motivations" section: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=motivation "Why include this Gemini framework I've never heard of?" We have included our in-house Java web framework, Gemini, in our tests. We've done so because it's of interest to us. You can consider it a stand-in for any relatively lightweight minimal-locking Java framework. While we're proud of how it performs among the well-established field, this exercise is not about Gemini. We routinely use other frameworks on client projects and we want this data to inform our recommendations for new projects.

Agreed, this would be interesting. It's under discussion: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/issues/10...
