Q is building an OS for physical spaces, backed by a comprehensive technology and service platform. We believe that creating good jobs is fundamental to our success. We treat all of our employees well — from software engineers to office cleaners. We know that 5-star service comes from talented, motivated people.

Our stack is Python (Django and Flask), MySQL, RabbitMQ, React, Flux/Redux, all wrapped in Docker but we welcome excellent engineers of all backgrounds. We value both those who want to specialize in a particular area and those who like to work across the stack.

We're currently focused on senior-level candidates (4-10 years of experience) who like to get their hands dirty and want to work as individual contributors. Potential to move into leadership roles in the future.

It seems like this is the future and I'd like to get an early peek so I can help my team move once it's release publicly.

Thanks!

Q was founded a year ago. We’re creating smart solutions for office management, and we’re growing at an insane pace. We’re a small team so there’s huge impact. And we’re making a difference in the lives of our field operators (cleaners and handymen) and the communities we serve. Our stack includes AWS, Django, MySQL, Node, React, iOS, Android. We’re hiring frontend engineers, backend engineers, mobile engineers, product designers, product managers / leads, and a CTO / SVP Engineering.

EDIT

Because I was bored: https://gist.github.com/2697095

    5-10 years from now, entry/junior-level programming will be blue collar job.

Learning to break apart a regex and rebuild it as a state machine is where the real magic happens.

  int a[][3] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

1. Qubits can be 1 and 0 at the same time

2. ...

3. Solve hard problems!

Can someone provide a link that fills in the middle somewhat? Preferably, aimed at an audience with something closer to undergrad engineering degree and than a PhD?

On another note, does anyone have info on the rate of death by virus world-wide? I'm only curious so we I compare to other major killers (cancer, heart disease, etc).

If you drive to work every morning I can't imagine you're going to pull out your phone one day hoping to find a different way to work.

Google's update to Navigation only helps the non-commuters when what we really need is something to unlock bumper-to-bumper commuters.

> Seems unhelpful to compare benchmarks where one shows the work completely optimized away.

The author doesn't offer any benchmarks of (something resembling) real code.

EDIT: My only reason for saying the above is that I can only imagine these sites being used for borderline nefarious purposes.

- adb clean (because chasing syntax errors that don't exist is a headache)

- run my (shockingly limited) test suite

- copy the .apk to a shared Dropbox directory that I use to let a few people help me test nightly builds

Without the tests the full build takes a few seconds (on MBP from March 2011).

In all seriousness though, I appreciate his attempt to be avant-garde. If it backfires, we know why. If it gets him a few jobs, we know why.

The off-hand remark "what levers we can pull to increase revenue" has been particularly true for me. It wasn't until I put together a spreadsheet where each variable could be adjusted independently that I realized the far reaching effects of some seemingly minor aspects of our target demographic.

Does there exist a definition of "real-time" that can be used across industries?

',' is an operator too, not just punctuation.

Otherwise, a great read.

PS– Is it just me or is LLVM coming up more and more these days?

An example (from the article): banks used to build enormous, unreasonably large buildings with pillars and impressive entranceways. People were more likely to trust a bank that could afford such a building because it showed that they would be there for a long time to come.

Similarly, if a website is willing to pay to be verified then it indicates (at least to me) that they didn't put up the site on a whim. They're in it for the long term and this is (supposedly) backed by a company I can trust.
