You’ll be engineer #3 or designer #1 on our product & engineering team in Kitchener, ON, Canada.

Required Skills:

  - Passionate about building things. You've got side projects you're proud of and you probably read Product Hunt, Twitter, or Hacker News more than is healthy.
  - When it comes to design and development, you're comfortable owning, designing, building, and shipping your own features/products
  - You love thoughtful, clean design with an emphasis on usability and our users’ needs
  - You thrive or want to thrive in a startup environment
  - Brands, e-commerce, large amounts data and innovative marketing campaigns get you excited

    - Python/Django (MySQL/Redis) web app, jQuery and CSS (LESS) on the front end
    - Celery (RabbitMQ) for billions of asynchronous data-processing tasks
    - MongoDB/Elasticsearch for big-ish data
    - AWS Stack (RDS, EC2, ELB, S3, Lambda, Redshift, Elasticache)

Bottom line... We're looking for fast learners who are passionate about what we're building. You'll be well taken care of: meaningful equity, salary, and the benefits you need to be happy & healthy.

We've hooked up lambda to boot "on-demand" Celery (http://www.celeryproject.org/) workers. Allows us to scale up workers (for async task processing, etc.) in ~1-3 seconds vs the ~3-5 minutes it takes to boot EC2 instances for extra capacity.

They announced that support was on its way, but they missed the "end of 2015" release estimate. This seems to be the most up-to-date thread on their support forums (we're following along closely!): https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=178841&st...

Founder here: Chris' comment is correct. Since we're selling something physical (an (e)-ticket to a real life show) and we don't use IAP, we don't have to give Apple a cut. We're happily using Stripe to process payments.

Here's one of our iOS apps in the wild for reference: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/technocolour-dreams/id885360...

Having recently returned back to school after an 8mo internship in SF on a J1, your write-up sounds pretty much spot on! I'll make sure this gets added to our school's collection of documentation that gets sent out to co-ops going to SF/NY/etc. each term.

A couple of things worth mentioning, though:

- Rent at $1k/mo for rent is (now) hard to find unless you're living in a living room or a slum. Prices for my friends ranged from $1300(decent place w/ 2+ roomates) - $2000+(nice studio)

- We all had pretty decent experience staying in a student hotel/hostel upon immediately arriving in SF rather than relying on an airbnb or related. Places like the Herbert Hotel (http://theherberthotel.com/) are ~$1100/mo (can't confirm weekly/nightly rate) and are a great place to settle at first, but you shouldn't bank on staying there for long. Bonus: you've got a "hotel" booked once you arrive in SF (customs loves to hear this).

- As soon as you get to SF, join the ~"bay area interns group" on Facebook, invite the entire (2K+) group out for dinner wit hone post, and instantly meet 15+ new friends at once. It's definitely the best collection of smart, talented, cool kids I've ever come across and everyone is working on something cool (usually outside of work, too).

- Here's another great write up (targeted at UWaterloo co-ops, but still applicable): http://stephenholiday.com/Unofficial-Waterloo-USA-Intern-Gui...

Most importantly: someone PLEASE build a better product for visa sponsor companies (Intrax for me, CIEE/local rep for you) to streamline the J1 (and other visas, I'm sure) application process. I have never had a more frustrating experience going back and forth via email with so many different people at my sponsor company, having to upload identification and documents, print/fill out/scan/send forms, and bug them for the status of my visa application. The application fee was something my host company paid for without hesitation and would have paid more for to streamline. I've looked into this problem and would have built it myself if it weren't for the bureaucratic requirements req'd by the US gov't (which are fair, just hard to MVP) - ping me if you are interested in solving this problem :)

I'm not sure to what extent hiring managers have to interact with the software that powers the co-op process (Jobmine), but as a student who has used it to secure 5 terms of work, Jobmine is definitely up there on my list of the worst designed/most frustrating pieces of software to use. Jobs for CS students are good and plentiful, so its still worth sludging through the system. Looking forward to the replacement, if it ever comes (startup idea?)!

When I tried out the site, it gave me a score of 0 for submissions that compiled but produced the wrong output.

I've never written scala before but it looks like your logic is wrong.

Edit: I tweaked your code and got a score of 34

   object Solution {def main(args: Array[String])=1 to 100 map {x=>System.out.println(if(x%3==0&&x%5==0)"FizzBuzz" else if(x%5==0)"Buzz" else if(x%3==0)"Fizz" else x)}}

If you're looking for the FB equivalent to those pages check out http://www.facebookstories.com/2012

Looks like you're posting a "link" with a photo attached (using "/feed"). I'm definitely seeing the graphic you're posting, just suggesting a different method/post type which may engage users better.

Great idea & execution! Any reason why you chose to post a "link" to the user's wall instead of something else? I've had more success (higher CTR to app and higher engagement on FB) from posting nice large graphics to a user's wall using the photos API. Make a POST to /USER_ID/photos.

Also, I haven't had much success using Facebook invites/requests or the Facebook App Center yet - would be interested to see what kind of conversion you can get.
