Jargon | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | https://www.jargon.com

At Jargon, our mission is to build the most useful content management and developer tools for voice platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

We recently completed the Amazon Alexa Accelerator (powered by Techstars), and have an ambitious roadmap to take full advantage of the burgeoning voice market.

We're looking to add several talented full-stack Software Engineers to work on all aspects on our products, from the SDKs we provide to developers (such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jargon/alexa-skill-sdk) to the backend of our unique Conversation Platform.

Experience developing for voice platforms (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, etc.) is a plus but by no means required.

If you're interested in having significant impact, building a lot, working along experienced leaders, and shaping the voice industry, come join our Seattle-based team!

The magnetic north pole isn't in the same spot as the geographic north pole -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination.


Does ATC use magnetic bearings?


Yes. This is why runway numbers (which are the heading with the last digit removed) are known to change from time to time. Aviation charts also display the variation between magnetic and true north. (See the purple dashed lines with 14/15° W http://skyvector.com/?ll=40.55464932694554,-70.9421666906757... )


$1m / year is actually a very common base salary, for tax reasons -- anything above that amount the company can't deduct as a compensation expense. The majority of CEO compensation is via bonuses and long-term equity incentives (grant, options, etc.).


Exactly, there is up to 4MM, +12MM + 30MM in comps in that offer. as well as up to 25K legal, 50K security, stocks and loans and other grants in there too.

Thats a TON


I forwarded this on to one of my zillow friends (I used to work there) -- he'll look into it.


Thanks! It looks like it worked. I had even tried contacting @zillow on Twitter, but I hadn't quite reached the point of emailing random engineers. :)


TextWranlger (BBEdit's free version) is one option -- http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/.


It's the underwriters of the IPO that impose the lockout periods, not management. The lockouts apply to all pre-IPO shareholders (excluding shares explicitly included as part of the offering).

Lockouts may also include provisions that any early release granted to management or dominant shareholders must also be granted to all other parties on equal terms; that was true of the one lockout agreement I was subject to.


And management chooses the underwriters, who therefore will conform their requirements to management's demands, as they have here.

Underwriters frequently try to impose lockouts, but its the management who actually sets the terms, which is why some lockouts are as short as 3 months while others are as long as 9 months. There is no requirement that the lockouts apply equally to management/dominant shareholders and other shareholders, though management frequently accept such restrictions b/c its not usually worth the cost to carve out such an exception.
