Housekeep | Senior full stack or front end engineer | London, UK | ONSITE https://housekeep.com

Housekeep has quietly taken over as the leading platform for cleaners working in London. We measure our success first by the number of cleaners that want to work with us, and second by the number of satisfied customers who keep booking them week after week. We have created some world-first technologies to grow these numbers month after month, and to increase our efficiency as we scale.

You would be joining early enough to influence tool-choice and architecture as we go forward. We're looking for someone who is excited to work on new features from day one.

Our stack:

- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework

- PostgreSQL (including PostGIS for its advanced geographic modelling capabilities)

- Angular 5

- A hybrid mobile app for cleaners developed using Ionic

Experience in any of these technologies would be a plus, but we're more interested in your track record of building great products for the web.

If you're interested in hearing more about what we're doing, our economics and growth, and the kinds of things you might get to work on, email me. I'm the CTO and you'd be talking to me directly. We don't use any recruiters.

Housekeep - London, UK - Lead Developer - Full-time - on-site only

https://housekeep.com

We're a young, funded startup with a lot to prove in the domestic cleaning market. You would be one of the first technical employees. Your job would be to do anything it takes to improve and extend our customer site, our operations systems, and our phone apps.

As a result, we're looking for candidates that are excited about joining a very small team where they can make a huge difference. We are building technology to streamline every part of our business, and growing fast as a result. There's a lot of real-time routing, scheduling and time management involved in coordinating all the work we do. And there's a lot of skilled UI work to be done across our member's site and operational web app, to help our staff manage everything that's happening.

The role

We need an experienced, motivated, full-stack developer. Experience in any element of our stack is a big plus, but a willingness and ability to learn fast is even better.

You would be working across:

- Our marketing website

- Our members application, where customers can set their cleaning schedule

- Our routing/scheduling web application for our operations staff

- Our phone application for cleaners

These are built in: - Python / Django

- Bootstrap, Knockout, Backbone

- Phonegap / Angular

- PostgreSQL, PostGIS

We are a small, tight-knit team, so your personal qualities are just as important as your software experience. We want to work with other flexible problem-solvers who aren't afraid of a challenge.

Apply directly to gareth.lloyd@housekeep.com. I'm not fussy about what you send, but if you highlight some repositories where I can read code that you're proud of, I'll take your application seriously.

Compensation: £competitive + options


You're right about the title.

As for the chosen time period, it's really very simple. We had limited time, and English-language Wikipedia has year pages going back as far as 500BC. Before that, years are grouped into decades and centuries - it would have been possible to parse those too, but hey, limited time.


Just wanted to post here and say thanks for all the comments.

Our hack day code is here: https://github.com/gareth-lloyd/visualizing-events

I posted datasets here: http://www.ragtag.info/2011/feb/2/history-world-100-seconds/

You're all right about the biases etc. All I can do is throw up my hands and say that's what our algorithm told us :)


Hey, I made that! Surprised to see it show up here.

The code that produced all that malarkey is here: https://github.com/gareth-lloyd/visualizing-events


Hi! Shame it didn't get more upvotes and make it to the front page - I think it's cool.

Kudos.
