Are you interested in working for a company where you learn something new every day? Where you get the chance to engage with industry leaders and Microsoft product teams to solve cutting-edge problems for our clients?

Endjin are hiring developers at all levels, from apprentices to seniors, to work on exciting projects with clients from all over the world, in verticals from retail to financial services, utilities and media.

Endjin specialises in digital transformation using Azure, Data & AI. We have built 100k+ core Azure grids, and petabyte-scale storage solutions. We've produced machine learning algorithms that find the anomalies in hundreds of millions of device messages, or built bots that help a person sell their watch online.

Endjin was incorporated in 2010 by two founders wanting to create a sustainable long-term business with organic growth delivered by deep partnerships with our clients.

Since then, we've helped organizations of all sizes, across many industries to transform how they invest, envisage, build, deploy, test, manage, and grow new digital offerings.

We also structure innovation programmes, process improvement, and DevSecOps, as well as delivering production-ready code, cloud infrastructure, and thought-leadership content.

We value life-long learning and an eye for quality. We will help you to find the best learning techniques, tools, and team-working, so that you can achieve your potential, and deliver the best value to our clients; while balancing your personal goals and home life.

Our employees have a mutual respect, regardless of where they are in their career. Ideas are developed by the whole team, from interns to seniors.

Equally, our clients pass the "nice to work for" test (and usually do so with flying colours). As part of that, we try to understand the ethical implications of the work we undertake. We seek to do the best we can for each other, for our profession, clients, and for the world at large. With no external investors, endjin has been built as a sustainable, lifelong business: we are a company to retire out of, not exit at the expense of the employees.

You can work remotely from anywhere in the UK, with hubs in Cambridge, Reading, Hampshire and London. We hold meet-ups in London on a regular basis. You design your ideal working environment, and we will make it happen together.

Apart from a real passion for learning, you know a couple of programming languages pretty well (we do a lot of C# and Typescript, but you may know R, or Python too). You love working with other people, but value the opportunity to spend time in your own head, thinking things through.

You can learn more about our projects at https://endjin.com, see a video about our career development pathways https://vimeo.com/200191869 or read our blog https://blogs.endjin.com

Whether our clients are trying to reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, or drive innovation, they need to refine their organizational strategy, improve governance, adopt a cloud-first DevOps approach, and take their people with them on the journey.

Apart from a real passion for learning, you probably dream in data - how it can be represented, handled, secured and manipulated. A bit of maths improves your day.

Ah, OK.

You know that they have existing PaaS (windows only "cloud apps" that run your code in a scalable way without you having to worry about managing the Windows OS it is running on) and IaaS (Windows/Linux VMs where you provision the OS, and manage it yourself).

This is kind of the next generation of that where you get your code run in a managed environment (so kind of like PaaS) but you get to choose the platform (kind of like IaaS) - and it has the same model for running your code on prem, in the cloud, or a mix of the two.

With a whole bunch of other services to help you do that more efficiently/scalably/reliably.

At least, that's what the diagrams and commentary seem to imply!

It is a bit more interesting than that - the diagram in the image gives quite a bit away about what it supports; notice that there is both on prem and azure, windows and linux.

It does talk about MS's stack, BTW (which includes .NET): "this first version of Service Fabric will focus on Microsoft’s own technologies and Java applications"

"Hurry up please, it's time."

I mean I think it is pretty neat, but I wasn't expecting that! Anyone know how voodoo the polling is on this?

Why would the speed limit on the highway be 70mph in a world of autonomous vehicles? Research indicates that a raise in the limit to 80 or 85 mph would be perfectly safe - the only reason for a 70 mph limit is to cope with heavy traffic.

http://www.iam.org.uk/media-and-research/policy/our-policies...

I agree with your point - but I don't think that the parameters are significantly different B2B or B2C - just the scale.

Of course, your cost of customer acquisition is likely to be way higher for an individual B2B sale than B2C, but the volumes are lower, and the revenues higher.

In both cases you need capital to understand the channels to the market, hone the proposition, build and refine the product.

In fact, I would contend that it is often cheaper to get to your first significant tranche of customers in a B2C environment - sales cycles tend to be shorter, the financial commit tends to be lower.

Agreed, you probably need a massive slug of Series A/B to grow that global B2C business significantly - but isn't that also true of a B2B proposition if you want to grow it to global scale?

The original poster's question is about idea generation, and seems to imply that crowdsourcing would provide some market validation of that idea, and "build in" a channel to that market, through those that participate in that crowd (i.e. a network generation effect).

I'm not sure that they are right - but it would be an interesting experiment that I've not seen executed in quite that way.

Hopefully, a key benefit of autonomous cars is that they optimize speed to minimize jams and improve overall traffic flow.

https://keshavsaharia.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/traffic-op...

Things like junctions/intersections would be much better managed (we might even be able to make them free-flowing on roads where non-autonomous vehicles were banned).

That's very nifty. We built a little assembly language interpreter in F# over here (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endjin/Samples/master/Endj...) for our learning to program series. It doesn't have any IO (yet!), mind you. You just get to inspect the memory.

Apologies - it seems my earlier comment was made during a brief respite.

However, I still prefer http://gitlab.com :-)

It seems fine for me - and http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/github.com

We still miss IainB.

I think that's almost undetectable.

But, I'd argue, many of the tools and techniques of business planning, if lightened up and operationalized, become the way your startup executes in the early stages of new product development.

To be fair, the rest of the article looks at the physical evidence for the various different ways in which they did use it.

I'd love to hear more stories about apprenticeships and mentoring in the tech industry. We don't talk enough about the people who individually inspired us to learn our craft.

It could be to avoid crowding at peak times.

nahamed - what did you think?
