MEAN stack or Coffescript JavaScript hacker for quick turnaround projects

1 points by carlypso ↗ HN
Hi all -

Filled the python role from yesterday - that was quick! :)

Now looking for short-term, quick turnaround JS (MEAN stack) projects.

To provide some context: we're YC S14 and are building the Amazon for used cars. We have a very strong engineering team of 6 folks, who are working on production code in Node.JS and Angular.JS (MEAN stack or Coffeescript).

Beyond that, we have some need for very quick iteration, short turn-time projects including but not limited to:

- Web scraping or web manipulation work (Selenium, Scrapy, other tools will be useful here)

- Data structuring and storage (categorizing photos, scraped data, etc)

- Some light front-end tools (for internal use only, no heavy design work)

- The ability to interpret/update based on uploaded .csv format files

- Server side hosted scripts (AWS S3, or a separate standalone server)

Generally, we expect to use between 5-15 hours weekly for ongoing development work and / or the opportuniy for a fulltime role if you crush it! :)

Please email me at nicholas@carlypso.com by answering the following questions:

1) Does the above sound interesting to you? 2) In which time-zone are you? 3) Link to your GitHub profile? 4) Can you point at any (ideally YCombinator) references? 5) Can you describe a few similar past projects in a few words or show examples? 6) What are your comp expectations?

We're of the mind-set: you only get what you pay for. That said, we've been a little overwhelmed with the interest in yesterday's python HN post so we do have quite a pool of candidates to choose from.

Look forward to hearing back from you! Hoping to kick this off before the weekend :)
