Chorus One | https://chorus.one/careers | Platforms Engineer | REMOTE (Switzerland ± 6 hours)

Chorus One operates validators on many proof-of-stake blockchains (the ones where security is based on a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm rather than wasting energy). We are hiring for several roles, but the one I will highlight is what we call Platforms Engineer. Some companies call this Site Reliability Engineering or Devops.

The main thing we do is take upstream software, build it, run it on our infrastructure, and then monitor it and optimize that setup. Some things that make this interesting are:

    * Building automation that enables us to do this for many networks (70+ currently).
    * Doing this with high uptime, building automation for failover, etc.
    * Working with software that is on the one hand cutting-edge and doing interesting things (consensus algorithms, distributed systems, cryptography), but on the other hand that means it’s immature and often not easy to operate and monitor. Often we have to build custom tools, and dive into the source code of the project. We contribute patches upstream when it makes sense.
    * Some of these projects are exercising the limits of what a machine can do, we have to do some low-level investigation that requires understanding of what the Linux kernel and network hardware are doing to properly identify what’s going on.

We do have a small cloud footprint, but run primarily on bare metal. We are looking for people who can not just configure services offered by the public clouds, but who deeply understand what lies below; people who could build their own cloud. That sounds a bit pretentious and it’s not exactly what we do, but it does involve many of the same aspects.

A recent example of what I personally find fascinating: last month Ethereum’s Holesky testnet experienced loss of liveness. This is a real-world, globally distributed system that implements Byzantine fault tolerance, with multiple independent implementations of the protocol. Several of these implementations had a bug in an update, which caused a split in the network. The protocol is designed to handle this situation in theory, but in practice it is triggering previously unexplored failure modes in the implementations, that are hard to test for in synthetic small-scale tests. I think there are very few places where you get to be involved in a planet-scale distributed system exhibiting “interesting” behavior, especially one that is not in control of a single entity. Of course, there is also the less fun part that the testnet was broken, alerts are firing, and it was hard and chaotic to coordinate a fix when the network is not controlled by a single entity. Fortunately it’s a testnet.

Any plan on hiring junior/new grad?

ruuda 4/3/2025||

In general yes, though probably not in the next few months, as we have some in the pipeline already.

Fullstory | Atlanta or Remote (US) | https://www.fullstory.com/

Fullstory provides privacy-preserving session replay and analytics for websites and mobile apps. Our session replays are nothing short of magical, and the combination with analytics creates eye-opening insights.

We have several engineering roles open:

* Senior Software Engineer, iOS - $176,000 to $207,500 - https://www.fullstory.com/careers/jobs/ab3f8ecb-ee1f-4431-a0...

* Senior Software Engineer, Application Experience - $160,000 to $190,000 - https://www.fullstory.com/careers/jobs/1a014b19-d805-4547-9a...

* Senior Manager, Engineering - $205,000 to $255,000 - https://www.fullstory.com/careers/jobs/bce3fcba-6b80-43fd-b7...

...and a few roles in other categories, see https://www.fullstory.com/careers/ for the full list and some general info.

Tech stack includes Typescript & React for the front-end; Go (Golang) running on Google Cloud (GCP) w/ Kubernetes (K8s/GKE), BigTable, BigQuery, Solr, and more for the back-end; Java, Objective-C, and Rust for mobile; and smaller amounts of other languages including Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Python, and Ruby where they make sense.

Note that for the iOS role, we're not building apps. It's about taking things apart, seeing what makes them tick, and figuring out how to extract the data we need without negatively impacting the app experience. (Or using any private APIs!) It's part reverse engineering, part systems programming, and part library development.

In addition to the listed pay ranges, you can expect regular raises & bonuses, equity, and benefits including: health insurance, 401k matching (Vanguard), annual learning stipend, unlimited PTO, and more. I take about 5 weeks vacation a year, in addition to ~3 weeks worth of company holidays (federal holidays + the week of Christmas to New Years.)

You also get a 5-week sabbatical after 5 years of employment - I just took mine at the end of last year, and it was fantastic.

To apply, please submit your info on the website. If you have questions, feel free to reply here or email nathan@[company website].com.

> You also get a 5-week sabbatical

I assume on top of a regular 5-week vacation/PTO?

nfriedly 4/5/2025||

Essentially yes. In my case, the sabbatical overlapped with a week that I would have taken off anyways, so I took about 4 weeks of vacation spread through the rest of the year, and then the 5-week sabbatical at the end of the year.

Thank you for applying! We send an email upon application submission acknowledging receipt which notes that we send further communications if we see a strong match. Our team reviews every application and encourage you to continue to apply for roles for which you’re a strong match. Thanks again for your interest and I’m happy to answer specific questions via email (madigan.ford@fathom.video).

ysavir 4/2/2025|||

Just as a note, as someone qualified for the position, this response convinced me not to apply. Not taking the time to let candidates know that you chose not to move forward with them demonstrates a lack of care and compassion, and I now associate that that attitude with Fathom as a business.

polishdude20 4/2/2025|||

Yep. Especially when you know you have the qualifications. If it's not a match, despite meeting your written qualifications, then how about you at least update your requirements so I don't waste my time?

Also, the application process requires me to download their Fathom software anyways. The least they can do is respond with a rejection.

deaddodo 4/3/2025|||

As someone that was accepted for their interview process, you aren't missing much. I was halfway through the live technical when I just noped out. Still finished it, but knew I wouldn't be interested in progressing beyond it.

skeeter2020 4/3/2025|||

All people want is a brief email saying you're not moving forward. This takes very little effort on your part and builds goodwill. It's super-important to treat all the people you don't hire with empathy and respect; they'll tell everyone about a poor experience.

Not actually hiring in the US. Check Connor's previous postings. Now they're not even pretending that they can afford US hires.

They take forever to reply (2 months since my first email, meanwhile they regularly kept posting the job on HN) and after the initial call had me take a home assignment that I spent almost an entire day on, then went total radio silence again - not even a generic "sorry for the delay" or a rejection email. I see I'm not an outlier, given others' comments under their postings. I don't think the job's fake - they just really don't care about their candidates' time.

We're always looking to improve where we can to reduce any gaps in the process and to make sure no applications slip through the cracks.

I can't find any calls/interviews with your name and also can't find any submission from you on our code challenge[0] (which is the only take home task that we ask devs to do), but it may just mean that you've applied under a different name and GitHub profile than you have listed on the website in your about page/your HN username.

If you can reach out to me at david at serpapi.com and provide me with some more detail about your application I can try and find out what's happened here.

_winx 4/3/2025|||

I obviously withdrew from the interview process already, but what you wrote is either plain untrue or you really do have huge gaps in the process. Here's what I have on my side:

- an entire email conversation (including quiz you sent me, which also took time to respond to) - I obviously used the same name and email domain which can traced back to my profile,

- the emails about initial call I self-scheduled and attended,

- the repo (under your GitHub org), a PR I opened (as requested) and two more emails from me - one was a confirmation of completion of the task and another to touch base after a week of complete silence.

The task was different from the one you linked - to write a scraper which extracts search results from Google page, according to the sample input HTML and expected JSON output that were provided.

davidsojevic 4/3/2025||

Given the large delta between what you've experienced and what I can find on my side, the only thing I can think is that your application has been handled outside of our standard process (perhaps directly with someone?) and/or that the SaaS we use to manage the process isn't surfacing you in search.

The code challenge linked has been used for the software engineer candidates long before I began at SerpApi and, in the spirit of transparency, candidates have been directed to make their submissions via a PR to the public repository since almost our earliest employees, e.g. Ilya's submission can be found here: https://github.com/serpapi/code-challenge/pull/6

Can you please forward the email chain(s) to me at david at serpapi.com so I can look into it? Even if you've withdrawn from the process, I would very much appreciate having a copy of these to see what's gone wrong.

_winx 4/3/2025||

Upon checking these emails, I realized what I did. It's a different company but with an but with an overlap in name/domain (Serp API/Search API) and similar website where I also applied. As embarrassing as this is, it really happened. I don't want to spread misinformation but can't edit the parent posts anymore. I'll contact the mods if it's possible to just edit/delete them. I'm really sorry.

chaosharmonic 4/7/2025|||

I know the OP was a mixup, but related question... do you only reach back out if it's for an interview? I had an experience last year myself where I never heard anything at all. Which was unfortunate, bc this place actually fascinated me on a bunch of levels.

Don't bother applying to this one, as it's a ghost job posting (you can check for yourself in previous Who is Hiring posts dating all the way back to 2023)
