Crowdscores - https://crowdscores.co.uk/jobs/ - London, UK

Javascript Developer for real-time sports

You will work on a well structured, real-time single page application which is written using BackboneJS, SASS and other technologies and communicating via a RESTful API and Push notifications. You will be expected to play a big part in the development and direction of our web app, with the possibility of it becoming a team leading role as we grow.

We're looking for someone with strong experience writing structured, object oriented Javascript with an emphasis on readability and maintainability. It is assumed that this also implies strong TDD/BDD experience.

You think systemically, implement quickly and innovate fiercely. You also understand that learning is the key to growth and that being outside your comfort zone is the only way to learn. Anything else you bring would be a bonus, and we're specifically looking for: - Experience with Backbone.js or other MV* framework - Understanding of RESTful web services - Knowledge of real-time push/long-polling technologies - Experience working with Git - Experience working in an Agile/SCRUM environment - Any experience of Python would be great

We are offering a great environment, a competitive salary and stock options to the right person. This is an onsite role so you must have the right to live and work in the UK.

Please email your CV and Github account if you have one to [email protected]


Whatever the rationale for body scanners they aren't an effective means to detect explosives for the simple reason that they don't see inside the body. There are already plenty of cases, in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan to name two, of bombers hiding explosives in their anal canal.


Laws are needed to prevent people being ripped off and generally taken advantage of. What this law from the past fails to cater for is that bad comments on AirBnB could well be as effective at safeguarding others against sub-standard rooms as the original law could ever be. Or much better and that must be a scary thought for legislators.

You mean like people renting an apartment only to find out the rest of the place is being used as a hotel?


Well, that too. That's the thing about people living together - they're always going to get into each other's way.


LOL. Yes, all bad things can be much more effectively regulated with an online review.
