Position: Lots of fun software stuff – from programming languages to data engineering to computer vision to basically anything that’s not a webapp
Location: Woburn, MA (a little north of Boston)
Description: We solve hard problems, usually (but not always) for the government. We’re not some stodgy defense contractor but rather teams of engineers, mathematicians and software engineers that get things done and actually deliver product. Some examples of the types of projects we work on are counter-botnet botnets and programming language research to improve security.
Feel free to apply through the website or through a PM to me – if the former, please mention lobste.rs!
Company: Galois
Company site: https://galois.com
Position(s): Principal researchers, research engineers and technical project leads
Location: Arlington, VA. Dayton, OH, Portland, OR
Description: We’re looking for folks that enjoy working on challenging problems in computer science. We collaborate with organizations like NASA, DARPA, and Amazon Web Services to explore what is possible and turn impactful ideas (often stemming from academic research) into usable technology. Galois is employee-owned, we have a one-level flat organizational structure, and we make important decisions as a group. Engineers choose what they work on out of a large pool of projects. We love to learn and share what we know, and that’s a big part of how we approach R&D, so we have no hard requirements for previous experience with similar work. You’d be joining a team of 100.
Some of the things we’ve worked on in the past: Formal methods, static analysis, binary analysis, cryptographic algorithms, domain specific languages, programming languages theory, abstract interpretation, type theory, formal verification and software correctness, reinforcement learning, autonomous systems assurance, communication security, cyber-deception for network defense, DDoS defense, provable hardware security, statistical anomaly detection for detecting advanced persistent threats.
We think working here is awesome, and you can find a more polished version of what that means at https://lifeatgalois.com.

Position(s): Many things, but I’m specifically hiring Software Engineers for the SRE and Tooling teams. https://segment.com/jobs/922851/
Location: San Francisco and Vancouver are primary engineering offices, but open to remote, with some limits. Just ask.
Description: Segment provides infrastructure for first party customer data.

Company: FreeAgent
Company site: https://freeagent.com/
Position(s):
Product engineers, junior/mid/senior/principal - you’ll be working predominantly with Ruby on Rails but you don’t need to have direct experience of it - we’ll get you up to speed!
Platform engineers, mid/senior/principal - opportunities to work on our cloud migration (we’ve moving to AWS), CI/CD, developer tooling, data science, machine learning
Test Engineering - helping to build an even better testing culture into the product from creating an idea to monitoring once it is delivered
Engineering managers, team leads, product managers, product designers
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland or remote in the UK for senior positions
Description: At FreeAgent we help freelancers and small businesses be more successful by putting them in control of their company finances.
We have built an award-winning banking and accounting app that offers full end-to-end compliance, from time tracking to tax return filing. We’re based in beautiful Edinburgh and we’re growing from strength to strength with over 90,000 paying customers and strong YoY growth. Our NPS is amazing (70!) - customers love what we do and our team get to make a real impact.
That’s actually my favourite part of the job: seeing the positive impact that we’re having on small businesses with every release, allowing those people to get on with the thing they got into business for (hairdressing, dress making, web consultancy), rather than spending time worrying about their finances.
We’re a growing team of over 200 people. 50% of our engineering team are distributed across the UK, the rest being based at our Edinburgh HQ.

Company: Fullstack.io
Company site: https://www.fullstack.io/write-a-book
Position(s): Book author
Location: Remote
Description: We are looking for authors who want to write programming books. Specifically, authors who want to write about Golang, Rust, WASM, Elixir, and Python.
API docs often focus on too-thin of an area of responsibility and blog posts are scattered and of mixed quality. Our books are written for programmers trying to learn a new framework/language and we try to teach the practical wisdom that you would otherwise only learn on the job.
We split royalties 50/50 and help a ton with marketing. Our tooling is sane (markdown, git) and several of our authors have earned $50k+ in a year.
In fact, we just finished a book on D3 with a fellow Lobster.
There are so many insights we have as experienced engineers that you can’t learn from Medium posts. If you’re interested in sharing your hard-earned, deep knowledge through a book, reach out by using the form on this page

Oh my
It’s fine, technology doesn’t change much in 5 years. Definitely not in the security arena.
That couldn’t be more false given both the amount of effort/tooling applied to finding vulnerabilities in Linux kernels and the recent focus on hardware flaws popularized by Meltdown/Spectre. Even projects in high-assurance security targeting commodity platforms need updates due to flaws below or around their developers’ scope.
Maybe I should’ve put a /s tag on my comment…
I hear ya. My bad misreading it
Yep
