Are you interested in working for a company where you learn something new every day? Where you get the chance to engage with industry leaders and Microsoft product teams to solve cutting-edge problems for our clients?
Endjin are hiring developers at all levels, from apprentices to seniors, to work on exciting projects with clients from all over the world, in verticals from retail to financial services, utilities and media.
Endjin specialises in digital transformation using Azure, Data & AI. We have built 100k+ core Azure grids, and petabyte-scale storage solutions. We've produced machine learning algorithms that find the anomalies in hundreds of millions of device messages, or built bots that help a person sell their watch online.
Endjin was incorporated in 2010 by two founders wanting to create a sustainable long-term business with organic growth delivered by deep partnerships with our clients.
Since then, we've helped organizations of all sizes, across many industries to transform how they invest, envisage, build, deploy, test, manage, and grow new digital offerings.
We also structure innovation programmes, process improvement, and DevSecOps, as well as delivering production-ready code, cloud infrastructure, and thought-leadership content.
We value life-long learning and an eye for quality. We will help you to find the best learning techniques, tools, and team-working, so that you can achieve your potential, and deliver the best value to our clients; while balancing your personal goals and home life.
Our employees have a mutual respect, regardless of where they are in their career. Ideas are developed by the whole team, from interns to seniors.
Equally, our clients pass the "nice to work for" test (and usually do so with flying colours). As part of that, we try to understand the ethical implications of the work we undertake. We seek to do the best we can for each other, for our profession, clients, and for the world at large. With no external investors, endjin has been built as a sustainable, lifelong business: we are a company to retire out of, not exit at the expense of the employees.
You can work remotely from anywhere in the UK, with hubs in Cambridge, Reading, Hampshire and London. We hold meet-ups in London on a regular basis. You design your ideal working environment, and we will make it happen together.
Apart from a real passion for learning, you know a couple of programming languages pretty well (we do a lot of C# and Typescript, but you may know R, or Python too). You love working with other people, but value the opportunity to spend time in your own head, thinking things through.

It is a bit more interesting than that - the diagram in the image gives quite a bit away about what it supports; notice that there is both on prem and azure, windows and linux.
It does talk about MS's stack, BTW (which includes .NET): "this first version of Service Fabric will focus on Microsoft’s own technologies and Java applications"
But, that doesn't quite mean much to me... to me it sounds a lot like the "*.Net/.Net FOO" marketing from Microsoft around 2000-2002. The message is really muddled.
You know that they have existing PaaS (windows only "cloud apps" that run your code in a scalable way without you having to worry about managing the Windows OS it is running on) and IaaS (Windows/Linux VMs where you provision the OS, and manage it yourself).
This is kind of the next generation of that where you get your code run in a managed environment (so kind of like PaaS) but you get to choose the platform (kind of like IaaS) - and it has the same model for running your code on prem, in the cloud, or a mix of the two.
With a whole bunch of other services to help you do that more efficiently/scalably/reliably.
At least, that's what the diagrams and commentary seem to imply!
I understand that... and to be honest, it looks cool... It would be nice if they simply implemented a tiered "todomvc" style application + backend in each of the supported languages/backends ... I know this would be a bit of an effort from them, but would probably better demonstrate what they are trying to accomplish here.
I know that they have PaaS structures, which I actually did a proof of concept hello world against just yesterday, with node.js which was actually pretty cool. It's much better in terms of developing against than it was in the past when I'd looked at it. Apparently it's a similar experience for PHP (not sure on python or ruby though). The github hook integration was pretty damned cool as well... merge to `{BRANCH_NAME} == push` to production/test/qa etc. And definitely more straight forward than setting up your own dokku-alt or other cluster yourself.
Like I said, it just seems to me the terminology and marketing message is very muddled. I don't mean to say that I don't get it... I just think it's more convoluted that it needs to be. As an aside, the more I play with Azure Tables, the more awesome it becomes...
I agree with your point - but I don't think that the parameters are significantly different B2B or B2C - just the scale.
Of course, your cost of customer acquisition is likely to be way higher for an individual B2B sale than B2C, but the volumes are lower, and the revenues higher.
In both cases you need capital to understand the channels to the market, hone the proposition, build and refine the product.
In fact, I would contend that it is often cheaper to get to your first significant tranche of customers in a B2C environment - sales cycles tend to be shorter, the financial commit tends to be lower.
Agreed, you probably need a massive slug of Series A/B to grow that global B2C business significantly - but isn't that also true of a B2B proposition if you want to grow it to global scale?
The original poster's question is about idea generation, and seems to imply that crowdsourcing would provide some market validation of that idea, and "build in" a channel to that market, through those that participate in that crowd (i.e. a network generation effect).
I'm not sure that they are right - but it would be an interesting experiment that I've not seen executed in quite that way.
Things like junctions/intersections would be much better managed (we might even be able to make them free-flowing on roads where non-autonomous vehicles were banned).
Assume that you're travelling 100 miles. The first 4 miles are in town, with lots of crossings, lights, etc. The middle 92 miles are on highways with a few turn offs. The final 4 miles are back in town with lights and crossings again. let's assume UK speed limits for everything (30mph in town, 70mph on highways). We'll ignore acceleration.
In an autonomous car you can do the speed limit for the entire journey. That's 8 miles at 30mph and 92 miles at 70mph. The journey takes you 95 minutes.
In the human-driven car you're slowed to an average of 20mph in town, but on the highway you travel at 85mph because that's what everyone else does. The journey takes you 89 minutes.
Obviously the 95 minutes in the autonomous car can be a productive 95 minutes whereas driving yourself you can't do much else for those 89 minutes, which is a huge difference, but until all the cars are autonomous (or there are superfast autonomous lanes at least) then it's probably going to be quicker to drive yourself because to a human a speed limit is a guideline rather than a rule.
Why would the speed limit on the highway be 70mph in a world of autonomous vehicles? Research indicates that a raise in the limit to 80 or 85 mph would be perfectly safe - the only reason for a 70 mph limit is to cope with heavy traffic.
I find it a bit amusing that we're having to invent some incredible technologies to overcome our sense of self and resulting selfishness to act like the cooperative insects we often step on without noticing.
