What are the best job search sites in 2016?

It's been a long time since I looked for a job and a recruiter got me my current gig. Have you looked for a job in the past year? If so, how did you go about it?
Indeed feels clunky and slow and very "web 2.0" (aren't we on 5.0 by now?). Is there a nice, shiny site somewhere that companies use to post job ads nowadays?
If it matters, I'm a software engineer, mainly looking to work with Java or other JVM languages, but I have experience with some other platforms, too. I'm interested in distributed computing and "big data" systems.

Re-reading this, let me rephrase and suggest that you apply for jobs on all of those platforms because they are great for both parties.

It sometimes depends on where you want to work. There are location-dependent job websites. You'll find the occasional job ad in topic/interest-based listservs, too.

I'm a programmer in the Bay Area and I just looked for a new job last holiday season. Here were the mass market job posty things I used that worked well:
1. Triplebyte. They introduced me to multiple companies that seemed very attractive.
2. Hired. Also introduced me to multiple companies that seemed attractive.
3. The HN who's hiring thread.
