Bluebeam Atlas | Front-End & Back-end | Dallas, TX | Onsite | Full-time
The construction industry is adopting technology at a feverish pace. These days you won't just see people carrying large rolls of blueprints on a job site, but also laser scanners, mobile apps and wearables. It's not just people either, drones and robots are making to their way to the job site in ever greater numbers.
What you won't see is how all of these new technologies work together.
Bluebeam is on a mission to make the construction site of the future safe, efficient, and connected. We believe the products we're building will improve the way the architectural, engineering, and construction industries work, and we need your help to build them.
Front-end: https://boards.greenhouse.io/bluebeam/jobs/1495594 - For front-end, React and/or Angular experience a plus, experience with hybrid and native a big plus.
Back-end: https://boards.greenhouse.io/bluebeam/jobs/1528230 - For back-end, experience with RPC frameworks (gRPC, Thrift, Avro) and experience with Go a plus.
I'm the hiring manager for these positions. Please apply at those links and send me a note at [email protected]. If you have questions please comment or email me at the same address.

One thing I love about this practice is how simple some things can be, for example daemonization; with Ruby you need the monit and daemons gems, with dpkg, you just need a config file and let systemd do the rest.

On the roadmap, depending on your definition of "streaming" (e.g. buffer streams, websockets).

Yes exactly, that's the idea anyway. Has a few nice features on top such as controlling the network latency and expiring recordings (useful when working on a project supported by a big team).

Netflix | Software Engineer | Ruby, Java, Javascript (Ember & React) | Los Gatos, CA | ONSITE (No remote)
Join the Studio team at Netflix. We are a relatively new team within Netflix, working on tools that help us create new Netflix Originals.
The Studio Production Engineering team believes content creators should be focused on creating content, not on the bureaucracy of managing a studio. We believe if we succeed, better content will be created, we will produce more Stranger Things & Master of Nones, and we will bring more joy and awareness to the world through creators.
We build tools for the Studio teams in LA, as well as for non-Netflix employees that are on-set creating our content. (We're currently piloting a new tool on the set of Glow for example).
We're looking for full-stack (Ruby on Rails and EmberJS), completely back-end (Ruby on Rails or Java), and completely front-end (Ember JS or React).
Apply here: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/864893 or reach out to me (#{my_hn_username}@netflix.com) about the Java and React opportunities, and I'll put you in touch with the right people.
* Note: all of the "ors" in the frameworks that we use relate to specific teams within Studio Engineering.

I was about to say the same. I've made a lot of version 2 applications, and version 1 usually has this magic that always causes unintended side effects.
Even if it doesn't bite you, it will bite someone else.

Interestingly, Roku was create by Netflix, at first it was Netflix TV, but they spun it off.

You know what would be interesting? Doing this on our own DNA. What if that 0.1% difference between us and chimpanzees, was caused by such a capsule injected into a chimp by an extraterrestrial intelligence, and our key to interstellar travel, Dyson sphere, etc. has been hiding within us all along?
Would make a cool movie.

Couldn't the same have been said before with the phone industry? The tablet industry?

I find at times like this, it's good to offer an alternative perspective as well, as public criticism of a product can be easy to take personally.
For what it's worth, I found the product incredibly intuitive and very easy to setup. (This was 2 years ago, and the product was young, so I don't know what new features, read complexity, have been introduced to the product.)
