Kustomer | Senior Software Engineer Roles [NYC|Durham|Remote (USA)] |https://boards.greenhouse.io/kustomer

Kustomer is a great opportunity for an experienced Node.js dev: we've got a big product challenge (building the future of Customer Support software), a fun tech stack (Node.js microservices, heavy use of MongoDB/ElasticSearch/AWS, a CI/CD philosophy), and tough tech challenges (we deal with a lot of messaging and event data and the scale is growing all the time).

We're currently hiring for Senior Software Engineers on multiple teams, and are in the middle of a move to a remote-friendly structure so feel free to apply to any opening if you're in the US.

Kustomer | Sr BE Engineers | NYC & Durham NC | https://boards.greenhouse.io/kustomer

- Well funded ($173M) growing startup, still small enough to make an impact (<200 employees) - Modern tech stack: Node / Express / MongoDB / AWS / ElasticSearch

I'm one of the hiring managers currently looking for engineers, so feel free to reach out to me directly: ben@kustomer.com


Philosophy Of Software Design is a recent work on the subject

Book review I wrote a while back: https://benmccormick.org/2018/12/31/book-review-philosophy-o...


Hands down my favourite programming book of the last decade.


Whatcounts| Full Time | Front End Developer | Atlanta GA or Durham NC | https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/942692404/

Whatcounts is an email marketing company building out some exciting new technical projects. This role will be working on our new React-based UI and will have the opportunity to take responsibility for major parts of it as things grow out.

Tech stack is still being determined, but at minimum you'll get to work with React, Jest, Babel and modern JavaScript


Turning off all the light switches that have been left on in a big house though is a meaningful convenience. I think the privacy point is strong enough without having to trash people's use cases.


No trashing it at all, just contrasting it. I do see the convenience (luxury) of home automation, but when you compare that against accurate mobile mapping, location finding and navigation, the difference in usefulness is orders of magnitude. One can literally save your life.



This comes close enough but it's not the exact software that was posted around here :-)



I believe so. It's very close to what I've previously seen posted here.


If you read the post, that is mostly the work that they're describing.


The value of PWAs with service worker support is that redownloads don't happen. That's also how they can have offline support (on Android at least, safari currently has a lest robust caching story)


Java and JavaScript are not directly related. JavaScript added Java to the name for marketing purposes. JavaScript doesn't run on the JVM like the rest of these languages


I'm well aware what Java is, given I'm developing for it (and other things) since 1997 ;)

But my original comment was meant seriously, rather than cheap trolling. Unlike Groovy, JavaScript has excellent portability and a perspective to migrate code away from Java/JVM.


Mostly pre-es6, but this is my favorite "intermediate -> advanced" JavaScript book: https://www.amazon.com/Effective-JavaScript-Specific-Softwar...

There are gaps/things that have changed since the book came out, but this is a really great resource for understanding the core JS language.
