Schibsted Media Group | Engineering Productivity Engineer | Full-time | Barcelona | ONSITE

Schibsted is a 175+ year old company which started in the publishing business, moved pretty well into the online world and spawned some other companies in other industries (like online classifieds). Quite a few online classified sites in Europe belong to Schibsted and it is usually the leader in the market. Sites like LeBonCoin.fr (.fr), WillHaben (.at), Finn (.no), Blocket (.se) (and a bunch more) are part of the group.

The different companies in the group have been operating quite independently of each other, something that we are changing now. One of the key efforts for accomplishing this is the Engineering Productivity team, based in Barcelona, which will help standardize on automation, testing, code quality assessment tools, build systems, ... Let the machines do what they are best at and let the engineers work on solving hard problems.

So, if things like full automation, static code analysis, code review bots, testing frameworks, CI/CD, crazy git hooks tick something in your head, get in touch. We are now starting to staff the team.

Interview: 1 phone call w/myself [1 hr], 4 VCs or in person [1 hr each].

Contact: peralta@schibsted.com

(if engprod is not your field of interest, we are still hiring strong software engineers in different locations: BCN, OSL, STO, LDN).


It might be PR, but he's just basically following the law and not breaking it. Spanish IRS (Hacienda) must publish the list of debtors who owe more than €1M by law.


You are right. However, as with everything, he (Montoro) does as he wishes: they started doing this just last year... the Law comes from 2003.

Last year we started the cycle of these lists. Last year was... election year!

Edit: last year, not two ago.


You're aware that Montoro hasn't been the only minister since 2003, right?


Absolutely!


At Tuenti, a cell phone operator in Spain, we have been using webRTC very successfully for audio. In fact, we built android/iOS/web apps to make regular phone calls (to mobile or landline) using webRTC, either from WiFi or 3G/4G networks.


Interesting. Can you tell more about your stack? What did you use for signaling? Did you implement STUN and TURN to by-pass NATs and firewalls?


STUN and TURN, signaling over our XMPP infrastructure, a more or less recent version of webRTC trunk. We published a post some time ago on our blog about the details: http://corporate.tuenti.com/es/dev/blog/Building-a-VoIP-Serv...


Well, that's crippled sloppy focus as you can only scroll the background windows, but NOT type on them. Terminal.app has some sloppy focus support, but only between its own windows which makes the whole experience a pain.


A.k.a. sane sloppy focus? I think I'd find it very confusing if my mouse position (which is effectively arbitrary when I'm not mousing) affected where my typing was going to appear.


I guess this depends on habit: once used to "real" sloppy focus, it is really difficult to live without it. At the same time, I've seen tons of people get confused when using my computer and accidentally moving the mouse. Still, worth a try if you haven't (and kind of impossible with OSX).


First of all: congrats! I have been using Vagrant for a while now and it's how we manage the development and test environments (+200) in the company I work at (tuenti.com).

It is still not clear to me what the business model will be: will you be charging for selling extra providers (like VMWare Fusion), support contracts or ...?
