As a software engineer, you’ll be responsible for maintaining, expanding, and scaling our site. You’ll work on everything from front-end HTML, CSS and JS to server-side code and database. You’ll also be responsible for maintaining and improving the quality of our code base.
What You’ll Do
- Build new features to our fast growing and evolving application, with daily deployments and real-time metrics.
- Work with a team of talented developers and designers to build simple, beautiful and consistent user experience for our applications.
- Drive the implementation of new technologies to improve our ability to build a great product.
- Participate in code reviews.
- Allocate 20% of your time to work on any project that scratches your itch.
- Compete in our HipChat GIF wars.
- We’re looking to hire the best people wherever they are in the world. We can help you with relocation but if you don’t want to relocate, you should be awesome at working from home and available to sync up with the team a few times each week.
Skills & Requirements
- Obsessive attention to details.
- Exceptional programming skills and proven record of getting stuff done.
- Advanced skills in a web framework (e.g. Ruby on Rails, Django, ASP.NET MVC, etc). Experience in our stack (Ruby / Ruby on Rails / MySQL) is a plus, but not a requirement.
- Deep knowledge of modern web technologies like HTTP, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
- Excellent telecommuting skills: self-motivating, self-directing, and communicative.
We like to see in your resume or cover letter:
- An active GitHub or Stack Overflow profile.
- Open source contributions that you are proud of.
- Articles or blog posts that you have written.
In your cover letter, please tell us about about your general approach to solving problems and give an example of a time when you found the source of a problem. You also need to solve the following question and write the answers in your cover letter.
An input file contains integers, both positive and negative (there might be some duplicates). Each line on the file has one integer.
Compute the number of distinct y values within the range -10000 ≤ y ≤ 10000 such that there are distinct numbers a, b in the file where a + b = y.
You can download the file from http://s3.amazonaws.com/spacebalcony/cases.tar.bz2 (57MB). There are two test cases there for you to verify your program. Check the README file for the answers.
Tips
Solving large.txt within reasonable time doesn’t require advanced math or algorithm knowledge. Even non-programmers should be able to understand how it works. It does require repurposing of some basic algorithms.
