completely irrelevant, if they'd bothered to actually look they'd have known that. reading github doesn't make your automated spam bullshit any more acceptable. wankers.

Hi Tim,
I am a Developer Relations Engineer at source{d}, based in Madrid. We are working on improving developer recruitment. We have analyzed your open source contributions on Github and believe that you could be a good fit for Backend Engineer position at 1Aim.
1Aim (https://1aim.com) is an exciting new startup providing secure locking systems for homes around the world, and keeping all the keys with you everywhere you go. Besides access systems, they are already putting a lot of R&D effort in creating further new smart home/building automation products. They are an engineering-driven technology company that want to greatly influence how connected devices of the future will look and behave.
For this position, 1AIM is looking for a battle-tested backend engineer with experience in building high quality distributed systems. You would preferably have experience with C or C++ and low level programming. Moreover, knowing Go or Rust would be a plus.
Since you will be working on a greenfield project you would get to define and implement the architecture of this system. Thus, having experience defining a software architecture and following good practices would be highly regarded.
The salary range starts at 45.000€ and depends on your experience and skills.
Should this be something you wish to explore, please let me know and we can set up a call to evaluate in depth if this is a good fit for you and 1Aim.
Our technology is constantly evolving, so if you think that this position doesn’t match your profile or interests please accept my apologies and feel free to let us know. I will be more than happy to discuss any other potential opportunities we have that are a better fit for you.
Best regards,

Hi Alexis,
I am a Developer Relations Engineer at source{d}, we are working on improving developer recruitment. We have analyzed your open source contributions on Github and we think that you could be a good fit for the position as Frontend Engineer at Zenly (https://zen.ly/). Since we are actively helping them search for the right engineer to tackle their specific challenge, I thought I’d reach out.
Zenly is developing a location sharing app which is built on top of a powerful, precise and extremely battery-efficient continuous location technology. Although they are very discreet, they have already generated several million downloads, and their active user base is growing by 7% each week since more than a year. They reached a million users twice as fast as Twitter and are on a long-term mission to reach a billion. Their HQ is located in Paris, and they also have offices in SF. They have recently raised €22M with the first investors of Twitter, Uber and Snapchat. TechCrunch news here: https://t.co/PLVXxHOmOW
Even though Zenly's main product is a mobile app, a lot of Web components have been developed and many others are in the making. Their frontend stack is based on React (w/ Redux when necessary) written in ES6 bundled by Webpack using Babel for transpilation, Flow for static typing and ESlint for linting.
Their backend relies heavily on Apache Kafka as the central message bus and Google Protobuf as the data format. It is written entirely in Go using a microservices architecture and communication with clients and internal standalone services is done using gRPC (RPC layer on top of HTTP/2 and Protobuf). The production datastores currently include Cassandra and Redis.
For the data pipeline, they built a custom dynamic processing messaging system on top of Kafka and Protobuf (basically rebuilding some parts of the Confluent platform on top of Go and Protobuf instead of Java and Avro) which they plan to open-source. All real time processing and ETL is done in Go as well.
Long-term data is stored in Hadoop and post processing is currently using Spark (Exploration in Python, Production code in Scala).
Deployment-wise, everything runs on Docker in Kubernetes (managed by Google Container Engine). A CI builds and publish the docker images into a registry for further deployments which allows them to deploy/rollback multiple times a day without constraints.
The main mobile applications are native and they are migrating their iOS app to Swift planning to finish it before the end of this year. Moreover, amongst their plans is releasing a web version of the application that will be written in JavaScript with React.
They are a team of 40 people, 35 of which are part of the engineering team. The latter is divided in different groups, Backend, Data Engineering, Data Science, Android, iOS and QA. They follow a personalized agile methodology and take good care of following good practices to deploy reliable and reusable code - fully automated testing is an obsession for them.
They are looking for an experienced Frontend Developer with a great knowledge of JavaScript to work on both internal and external frontend products:
Although existing frontend apps are made using React, it is not an absolute requirement as common frontend principles are more important. In addition, any data visualization appeal/experience would be a plus (most of the dataviz involves a combination of D3 and Mapbox).
You will be joining a team of engineers who have worked on MacOS, and Android OS for several years, and a Data Science team with multiple PhDs in Paris, France. Besides, the only person who left them in over a year was poached by Facebook's iOS team.
The salary ranges between 40.000€ and 60.000€ but they are flexible depending on your background and experience. They are also willing to sponsor Visa and help with the moving costs and the accommodation.
Should this be something you wish to explore, please let me know and we can set up a call to check if this is a good fit for you and Zenly.
Our technology is constantly evolving, so if you think that this position doesn’t match your profile or interests please accept my apologies and feel free to let us know. I will be more than happy to discuss other opportunities that could be a better fit for you. If you are not interested at all, just drop me a line, and I won’t contact you again.
Best regards,
Anna Tsolakou, Senior Developer Relations Engineer
