Small Job Offer

Location: Internet
Languages: mycode is what mybb uses, and Javascript i think for hubot.
Things you like to do: I need two things with a possible third for my website. Two of the things I need are basically the same. I require a dice roller plugin using the Legend of the Five Rings Tabletop roleplaying game for my forums, which is mybb. I need another plugin for my chat, The chat plugin can be a simple hubot script or direct rocket chat plugin, I believe the hubot solution to be the easier one. those are the two things I 100% require.

There is another thing that I would like for rocket chat but I believe its out of my price range right now. That is either a rest api or some additions to rocket chat that only allows people to join one room at a time, and disallows room preview for players but not admins.

Job Offer - Full Stack Developer

DefenseStorm is a Cybersecurity Management Platform that helps financial institutions detect and act on threats. We vacuum up all of the logs from all of their devices, parse them into standard, searchable formats, and stick 'em in an Elasticsearch database. We allow our customers to write queries to search through their own data, we provide in-house cybersecurity experts to help them identify and deal with threats, and we also provide automated anomaly detection. (Signature-based detection is fine, but behavior-based detection is better.) We can manage their internal governance policies, and help them prove to auditors that they're searching for and acting on credible threats.

DefenseStorm is a little over 2 years old; we're still a startup, and we green-field new products and features every day. Your ideas and contributions will be making a difference here. That being said, "young" doesn't mean "immature." We pride ourselves on building mature, stable, and well-tested software, and our customers love us. We've never lost a customer, and we aim to keep it that way.

We pay competitive salary, have a laid-back, dog-friendly office, and value work-life balance. (I work 40 hours/week.) Security expertise is appreciated, but not expected.

Location: Seattle, WA
Languages: Primarily Java 8 server-side and Angular/Typescript frontend.
Things You'll Do: A little bit of everything. We've got 8 full-time engineers, and everyone contributes to both front- and back-end, as well as deployment/automation code. Be prepared to own your features from conception to production.

Job Offer - Front-end Engineer (contract)

Location: San Diego, remote

Languages: JavaScript, HMTL, CSS

Job posting: https://authenticjobs.com/jobs/28240/front-end-engineer

I'm the lead engineer / manager at a startup creating a SaaS for Real Estate brokers and agents. We're a fully remote team, but looking for people in San Diego who are willing to meet once a week. You'll get to work alongside myself and two other developers building with React, Node, and whatever else you think makes sense for the job. Other than meeting once a week, communication is through Slack, management through Trello, and code review through GitHub. We have more dev work than we can handle at the moment and are looking for someone familiar with React who is available for the next 3 months. Will definitely be interested in extending contract after that if it's a good fit.

Hey—I'd like to get some input from an iOS dev.

Trying to build an app which is basically of the type where you would take a photo of yourself (front and side) and it would crop out your head and paste it into a variety of different backdrops. It doesn't need to be much more complicated than that, but it would need to have some pretty spiffy UI effects, panning/navigation, that sort of thing—basically look nice and professional.

Could anyone PM me with what might be a good reasonable price range? I'm not asking for bids, just a ballpark idea. I've been trying to get some feedback on this for a while now and I need to pass an estimate back to someone upstream as quickly as I can.

Thanks.

Junior QA Dev

Two positions open

Junior QA Dev (California :911: )
Juinor QA Dev (Sydney, Australia :australia: )

Full time
Available now


Languages: Ruby, Golang, Bash, Powershell
Frameworks: Rails, Jenkins

Full posting is HERE in the other jobs thread.

This position is ideal for someone working in IT who sees the value in automation and has strong scripting skills, and wants to transition in to an engineering position down the road.

The Australian position is actually pretty interesting, you will be developing QA procedures for a machine learning product that does realtime data analytics, and being rolled out to customers next year. Those are some cool buzzwords (read: translatable skills) you can put on your next resume. Australian position must be able to work in Australia without visa assistance, preferably already there.

The California position is in the bay area (of course) and is a more traditional Agile-based QA position. You still get to daily play with bleeding edge stuff like Docker in a production environment. Almost nobody does this yet so it's a good way to build that skill set.

Should have 1-2 years enterprise IT experience, or some interest in coding that you can point to. If you're smart and still in school/wish you were in school/just graduated, I'm open to talking about the position with you as well. Some of the best people have non-traditional backgrounds and I'm totally open to that if you've got what it takes.

PM me for details/contact info. Right now the team (of 2) is 100% goons and I'd like to keep it that way as you're a nerdy bunch. For serious, PM me today, thanks!

Right now I work as a web developer. I touch most of the stack. I do both front end and back end programming as well as REST stuff. I don't deal with the overall deep architecture of the hardware or anything of that sort. My games experience is some game jam things and some stuff I've been working on off and on that I'm sure I'll release eventually. I also know some things about AI. Lately I've been reading about data science, web security, and more math.

As for why I'm looking the primary reason is because I am tremendously, profoundly bored. There is just never enough for me to do at work. There have been multiple situations of being told "hey this would be nice to have but it's probably going to take you a while so like you know, when you get around to it" only for me to have it done the next day. One case in particular I had an idea of how to implement it immediately upon hearing the idea and was all "yeah that's actually pretty trivial." Had it done in a few hours. Weeks later it's waiting on a code review! I actually really like programming and wish I had more of it to do. Other than that it's mostly a pretty fine gig.

There's also the standard stuff; I'm looking for a remote position especially because my commute is sometimes dreadful. I'm also underpaid according to basically everything I've read about developer salaries. I'd be willing to relocate, depending on the destination and the job offer.

Python is my weakest language as I just started learning it pretty recently. I can't decide if Java or C# is my stronger one. My C++ is very rusty. I'd be happy to learn other languages, with the exception of PHP. I hate PHP and have a strong desire to never, ever touch it again. I'm not all that picky about what I work on. Web dev, app dev, desktop dev, game dev...whatever. I just like programming.

I will not work for the financial or defense sectors.

I've been doing mobile development at a senior level for the past 5 years. We've been developing product for a tough demographic and the company has unfortunately just run out of steam (and revenue). I've been involved in development at all levels, from design to planning, architecting, development, and submission. These have been low-liability non-CRUD apps for small children, so we haven't done stuff like unit testing and it's just been constant agilefall on six projects at once all the way.

I've done a tiny bit of Java/Spring and would like to do more, cuz that poo poo's pretty neat. I would also love to get into automation and/or AI stuff.

I've also done a project in Swift for tvOS. I wasn't happy with the way a Swift update killed large sections of code, but it was still pretty fun to work with.

I'm hoping to find an office position in my area but could do remote work.

I have a really niche web database passion project that i'd like to get built by someone who really knows what they're doing (i.e. not me).

Location: I'm in London UK, willing to work with anyone anywhere.
Languages: Will require PHP MySQL and possibly other things that I do not understand!
Payment: I have literally no idea how much this is supposed to cost, but as long as my wife doesn't find out i'm willing to liberate my savings account.

Contact: frahasio at gmail dot com

I'm on the end of emails pretty much 24/7 but if you're near me i'd be happy to chat on phone in evenings or meet in real life for discussions.

The project: a bespoke and idiotproof content management (CRUD?) system with some odd batch features and complex data relationships for a searchable database of early music sources - manuscripts and prints from the 16th century. Google MOTET database or RISM or DIAMM or CMME for an idea of the subject matter.

Must allow a few hand selected pals of mine (and me) to log in and populate the database one book at a time.

I have some preliminary drafts of how the front end should look and how the data should be structured but what the hell do i know?

Much more detail and discussion to be had. No massive pressing deadline, but obviously would like to get moving asap.

How do I protect the project idea I have while seeking a developer? Is there something used specifically that stops potential hires from taking the idea you present?

You can make them sign NDAs and other intellectual property legal thingers, but unless your idea is unique, truly fully formed, and can be knocked out in a couple of weeks, nobody's going to steal it. Getting from idea to product people want to use is the bulk of the work and people like to get paid for that work.

For example, 2048 is a clone of Threes. Threes was really easy to clone once it was released, it probably didn't take the dev long to do so, but it took them 2 years of iteration to get Threes to where it was when it launched. If a dev "stole" the idea as it was at the start the result wouldn't have been 2048, it'd have been something that didn't work right unless they put in all that product work too.

Long story short: find a dev with a good rep and don't worry about it unless your idea is perfect and genius but trivial to implement.

Edit: Oh and while it's a little jaded to say this, we've just about seen it all and know that most ideas fail. We're happy for the client to take on the risk (and the presumed reward) in exchange for doing a decent job for decent money. We've got our own perfect ideas to burn that cash on later.

Yeah, don't demand NDAs before pitching your idea. Every developer you talk to already knows that your idea is either "Facebook for X" or "Uber for X". If you have something that's actually interesting you'll be able to get a better developer for cheaper.

Trademark law covers the name of the project. Copyright law covers the software after it's written -- it doesn't sound like there is any yet. A patent may cover a novel process your software will perform, but in practice it's not worth it unless your idea itself is worth $3M because that's what it would cost you to litigate a patent infringement claim.

Asking developers to sign an NDA to see the back of a napkin will actively filter against getting a competent developer. Copyright is implicit, you don't have to do a thing, not even a Copyrigt 2017 Hubris, Inc. notice, unless maybe you're plastering novel code people would actually be interested in stealing all over the internet. Trademark is for protecting your brand, and doesn't matter until you have one. The only IP you need to worry about before you have a working product and customers is... well, none frankly, as long as you don't steal the tools or components used to build your product.

IANAL but this is really basic stuff and this thread isn't the right place to ask about it.

I worked on a project where the client talked around about his idea, and a competitor actually hired a team larger than myself to make it in about two weeks. The client sent his competitor an angry email, accusing him of stealing the idea. His competitor literally replied with :capitalism:, and lessons were learned.

Protecting it is meaningless unless you can get something working out the door first, even in this brave new world.

If you haven't seen The Social Network, I'd encourage you to because it does a good job showing that 1) Mark Zuckerberg is an rear end in a top hat and 2) ideas are cheap to the point of being worthless but implementations of ideas are valuable. Both are important to keep in mind.
